- I was over it, then it started again. My husband has been in the hospital for 6 days which means lots of stress. So I've had several days of being back to pain and burning. So what I'd like to know is what combinations of meds or supplements do you...

- I'm kicking my gastro to the curb and going to a new clinic. I have used Librax for IBS for years, but can't get it until the new doctor approves it. I'm just wondering what other "miracle" drugs you all have tried or recommend. I'm pretty sure I...
- Acid Blockers Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPI) and Histamine-2 receptor Antagonists (H2 blockers)Prilosec, Pepcid, Tagamet, Zantac, AxidDepletes: Vitamin B1, folic acid, B12, calcium, iron and zinc. Acid blockers can also alter vitamin D metabolism and...
- New problem. I now am anemic due to low iron levels. I've read that Zantac, Pepcid, Prilosec etc can play a part in this. Seems like there is no way out.Does anyone know anything about this?Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
- My neuro recently ran a iron ferritin test and it came back very low. She is recommending an iron infusion. As far as I know I am not losing blood anywhere but I did read something about gastro problems associated with this.Can anyone educate me...
- Can anyone tell me what "rebound" is all about? I've seen it referred to here several times.Anyone ever get palpitations from Zantac? I'm just guessing here. It could be that my Thyroid meds need tweaking.

- Has anyone used a TENS machine to treat fibro? At this point I am willing to try just about anything.
- Has anyone ever been told that you should NOT take Flexeril if you have thyroid disease? I just read this today. I have Graves Disease and had my thyroid ablated. So now I am hypothyroid. My rheumy told me to take Flexeril for muscle pain but...
- Can a PCP treat Fibromyalgia? It seems like the rheumagologists don't really do much more than a General Practioner can do for us. I'm considering just turning this over to my primary.
- Does anyone ever feel pain in the upper arms and around the shoulders that you are pretty sure is Fibro pain? I'm having some wicked all-over body pains these days and am not sure if it's fibro or my MS or something else. How do the doctors...
- I'm wondering why doctors don't seem to see the connection between diet and gastritis. Is there some reason they are not educated on this topic? I'm pretty sure there must be SOME doctors who know how to advise patients about diet. But from what...
- I keep seeing toast on the list of things we can eat. Why toast? Can't we just eat bread? I love toast, but just wondered why it is promoted instead of plain bread. Inquiring minds....
- I know a lot of us get this awful pain under our ribs that seems to radiate to our backs. What I want to know is how can you tell this is coming from the gastritis and NOT Pancreatitis? The symptoms are somewhat the same. I'm not looking for...
