- Hi, For the past 5 years I have been to the doctor's for various ailments and three times for three different things, the doctors immediately told me they suspect cancer. I tell them I have major anxiety and I need them to not make me feel so...
- I have been doing a lot better with the gastritis and have not been having pain, just a sort of tender sensation where the esophagus meets the stomach and that gnawy hunger sensation that I got when I first got gastritis. It's not really hunger,...
- This was my question:I have acid reflux and gastritis. I was diagnosed two months ago in the ER and finally saw a gastroenterologist yesterday. The first thing he asked is if I have lost weight and yes I have lost 23 pounds. I lost the weight...
- I went to my first gastroenterologist today. (I was diagnosed with gerd and gastritis in the ER two months ago). I was excited to tell him that I was no longer taking the Omeprazole prescribed in the ER or the Zantac because I had weaned myself off...
- At a nutrition supplement seminar today, I learned how healing omega 3 oils are for the stomach. I have been taking lots of salmon and flax seed oil for a month and my gastritis is almost healed (I think--I no longer have pain and I can eat much...
- I've been taking a bunch of herbal remedies prescribed by my naturopath for the past month. The one thing that I did not take that he told me to is chlorophyll, because the one he had has mint in it. I finally went to our local whole foods type...
- First, I HATE low carb diets (maybe because I am a sugarholic and I love my bread!), but I ordered Dr. Norm Robillard's Fast Track Diet and started doing it for a few days and was noticing a huge decrease in my symptoms. I fell of the wagon...
- After looking at different forums, I came across posts about people using Calciblend (formally Coffee Tamer) to reduce the acid in their foods. It is made up mostly of calcium carbonate. Has anyone tried it and would you or would you not recommend...
- HiI have had gastritis for about 2 months. The little sharp stabbing/burning pains in my stomach went away after two weeks of PPIs and then taking aloe vera juice, slippery elm etc. A little while ago, I got really angry and later when I was trying...
- How long does Zantac take to typically start working? I have been taking 300 mg for two days (today is the third day) and I am not noticing an improvement. I did read online that it takes about 5 -7 days. Is this what others have experienced. I am...
- I can eat the smallest thing and get an acid taste in my mouth. The taste can stay in my mouth for hours. Does this mean that acid is continually fluxing into my esophagus while I have the acid taste?? I never feel acid in my esophagus or throat,...
- I have lived with awful anxiety attacks for years. I am on antidepressants and they don't help nearly enough. Chamomile tea doesn't help enough. Nothing helped me. I went to a local homeopath and he sold me the this Stress J stuff. For the past...
- Hi, I was diagnosed with gastritis and acid reflux. Initially I had pain in my upper left stomach, and then went across the whole top of my stomach one day when I didn't eat all day, but it has subsided, perhaps because I no longer eat spicy, fried...
- Has Omeprazole or any PPIs given anyone diarrhea? I just came off of it today and I have had horrible diarrhea (sorry I know it's gross). I wonder if not having enough acid didn't let the food digest properly. I asked the ER nurse about the diarrhea...
- I just went to the nutrition store and asked about supplements to help wean off of omeprazole and the person who helped me had stomach problems before and he said that in addition to the DGL licorice to take orange oil capsules. I haven't read...
