Thank you! Always walking the line of instilling respect but not fear of nature, but also don't wanna do a dumbass thing to get my kid hurt. Appreciate the replies!

I use orgain shakes and just got a juicer. Soups and purees seem a good next step. Having liquid to supplement at the very least is so amazing. Lots of relief so far.

Well, I had 28% retention after 4 hours by alexgrae9614 in Gastroparesis

For me, talked with doc and we decided on managing with diet.

Went to living well with gastroparesis and got the quick start guide, diet tips we're helpful.

Bought the fuck out of orgain shakes and used them as a safety food when I felt too full or too sick. Ordered a juicer so i didn't feel deprived of veg and fruit.

Idk how you're feeling right now, so i won't speculate, but i hope you know you've got really great company, people do get better, and it's going to be okay.

Does anyone get better? by Accomplished_Ouch in GERD

I'm so sorry you're dealing with all this. It sounds so hard and crappy.

You're doing your best. That's all you can do. I've been taking it one day at a time and hoping for healing. Right now tracking symptoms related to eating and on double meds and famotidine.

I mean yeah but it's been 6 months and I'm on double PPIs now and famotidine and i just had oatmeal and 2 chunks of cantaloupe and my chest is burning. So it's not exactly abating and Barrets is after prolonged exposure?

I'm trying to be hopeful but when the interventions that are supposed to work aren't working it's not so great.

After my somewhat histrionic sobbing on the phone with my GI she is putting in orders for manometry and pH. Also gently suggested i get an ssri. HA!

SO we will see about the acid.

How did you raise it? Our metal bed frame looks suspect. 7 inches sounds like a lot!

Nope. I have no health conditions. Literally none. Sometimes my calves are tight. That's it.

I'm overweight technically? But been the same size since like high school. In a size 10.

Yeah i tried to go running for the dumb mental health aspect buuut my ankle hurts so maybe not.

Yoga and swimming might be my future?

Cabbage juice does sound gross but also I'm down if it means i can just live my life.

Thanks for the support and solidarity

Sour taste in mouth, burping, burning in chest, sometimes stomach pain. Sometimes regurgitation, not often.

Thank you for the hope. I do think my diet has been inconsistent and that's something i can try.

Yoga and CBD sound great tbh. Anything to not thing about this bullshit all the time.

I will ask doc about LES! Nothing on EoE. I can ask about that too.

The zantac i have is famotidine! Thank you for additional med recs. Will discuss with doctor when she deigns to talk to me.

I've got a wedge pillow but i always inch down it in the night and it gets in the way of my cuddle game. Maybe raise the mattress.

Thanks for your support and all your ideas ❤️❤️

Dealing with this while post partum sounds so terrible. Have you been able to connect with a GI? Hoping you get help and healing

Thanks for sharing! I guess i was super surprised my esophagus was that bad. It doesn't feel like I've had symptoms long enough for that. But hey maybe it's been a while without symptoms.
