I used to get a good day and a bad day for some reason. I used to think that at least I could eat on my good day. I then had the odd week when I thought that things were improving. Then I had some bad days and a couple of good days like that. The past few weeks though it has been excruciating with a lot more bad days. It hurts to eat and drink like I mentioned so its a trial to get some good stuff down me. I can go until the afternoon and not eat which I know is not good. Ive told the doctor that Im in agony and cant, eat and he just said to take painkillers, codeine. I don't, see the gastro until July. They admit that they do not know what to do for my pain. I have been getting reflux too. I don,t know what to do but will need to experiment a bit. Ive started to coat my stomach more with Sucralfate and to use Slippery elm. I can,t take them together though I don't, think. I got a water filter and also have some probiotics and ginger capsules or tea. Nothing is working though and I can just wake up with pain. I hate this. I keep posting I know and also feel for many others who are in the same boat. I pray and get prayed for. Its just crazy. I needed to vent and let it out as I can,t sleep. Ive done enough research to advise people on this myself but am still not sure what will work for me, if you see what I mean. Im here anyway as an advocate which will help me too. It is just getting me down.
