- I started on Amitryptiline last week. It's an old school tricyclic antidepressant, which can be taken in low doses for nerve pain. A couple of other members here are on it.I had the prescription for months, and I was afraid to fill it.. silly me. ...
- So tonight I made the world's worst lamb. How can you make roasted lamb without garlic? We ate it with as much enthusiasm as you'd put into eating cartboard. I let it rest for too long, so it was just this warm gamey grey meat. With crappy...
- i saw a few of you mention issues with breathing sometimes. I've had this recurring for about a year now in varying intensity. basically, my chest seems to tighten up and my throat swells, so I have difficulty swallowing. It doesn't seem to...
- Hi everyone. I was wondering if anyone tried carob powder as a coffee / chocolate substitute. It's very similar to cocoa, but caffeine free. I had to slam the brakes on my recent hot chocolate drinking, because it ended up giving me warning...
- hey everyone.I made leaps and bounds in my recovery - it seems that I really needed time without the burning to start healing properly. I feel like the last 8 weeks have been progressively better, and I see it in the foods I have back. I still...
- Well, there we have it. I went to my GI specialist, and the final diagnosis is that I most likely have visceral hypersensitivity of my stomach. This would explain why my upper endoscopy shows nothing out of order, yet my pain perception suggests...
- I need to rant.I got myself a nice pot roast at the COOP, with sweet potatoes and asparagus - I inspected it thoroughly and deemed it was "safe". I've been feeling better, so I expanded my menu.I'm eating the sweet potatoes and they're very good ...
- I'm barely staying awake today... but I know it's a very very bad idea to reach for the coffee... heeeelp... what can I do?
- My December trip is sneaking up soon and I have doubts that I'll be healed up by then. I contacted the places I'm staying and everyone assured me they will cater to my diet - which is very good. But I'm still very scared of being away for 3 weeks...
- Hi.My scope fun festivities begin in 6 hrs! I'm nervous.. Keep me in your thoughts my people. Hope everyone is feeling better today.
- It took me 8 months to arrive at this conclusion. Please read it with a grain of salt, because it's just an opinion of someone sick and desperate. This is what makes complete sense to me though.I was a previously healthy, energetic 33 year old. I...
- I finally have my scope booked for Sept 17th. This is no small feat, since you can wait 3 years to get one in Canada, I'm not kidding you.I'm not afraid of the actual procedure, rather, what they will find in there... Sigh... I told you guys...
- I'm so sick of taking Tums and Rolaids...Is there such as thing as an unflavored tablet? Perhaps something from Europe?I am looking for calcium carbonate and magnesium tablets, no aluminum...tx in advance.I was better and now I feel like crap, I...
- I wasn't sure whether to add on to my previous thread, but the topic seems appropriate for a separate discussion. How do you manage stress, and do you feel that it contributes/prolongs your condition??a bit of background - I recently saw a gastro...
- Hi all,I figured it would be a good idea to create an account and join the discussion. I've been diagnosed with gastritis in Feb of of this year, and I hope I can contribute with my experience.Looking back, the gastritis seemed to have started...
