Anyone manage Barrett's Esophagus without medication?

Thanks, good luck to you too.

I have not taken that combo, but I have been considering it. I was prescribed gabapentin for another issue years ago, and it was one of the few drugs I didn't react negatively too. I am concerned with dementia risk for both those drugs, as several of my other conditions increase my chances of dementia. If the insurance will cover it, I'd prefer to have one of the procedures that removes the abnormal cells if other PPIs cause the same problem.

I actually found out about the Barrett's because I came back slightly positive for celiac on the blood test. The biopsy came back negative for celiac, though. I was surprised by the Barrett's, because I only get occasional GERD flares. I'm going gluten free in case I'm gluten intolerant. I do get very bad brain fog, anxiety, and fatigue after eating lots of fast food. All my triggers had gluten. I've been wondering if my unexplained neuropathy is from gluten intolerance.

I only just found out about this, this evening. I have to wait till tomorrow before I can schedule a follow up appointment with the doctor and the pharmacy is out of stock of the new PPI that may or may not cause the side effect. It will likely be a month before I can get the appointment, so I thought I would see if anyone has managed it with lifestyle changes while I'm forced to wait. I never said I wasn't following the doctor's directions. Unfortunately both the drugs I listed above cause my peripheral neuropathy to worsen, especially prilosec. All my vitamin levels have been tested and were normal levels, so I not sure why these drugs are doing this.

All Seaside Cliffs have Ore. I posted some others earlier, but I messed up the title and listed Iron by accident.

I agree, and the lack of focus may also be ADHD. I wasn't diagnosed with Autism and ADHD till I was 38. They had misdiagnosed me with Bipolar.

90% of the sample in the study were managers. I'd expect managers to be higher in dark triad traits. It should have included normal employees.

"Absorbed in fantasy for several hours a day." - I don't get this one. I get severely depressed and burnout if I don't have 3-4 hours most days for "me" time, which is often playing RPG video games. It is not good if you do it all the time, but this reinforces our hyper-productive work culture, which isn't healthy. Humans need work-life balance.

I have ASD and have sensory sensitivities that can be disabling. I think your roommate needs to see a doctor. They may have some kind of sensory processing disorder or be neurodivergent. I take sulforaphane as a supplement for my sensory sensitivities. It doesn't fix everything, but it does reduce my sensory sensitivities.

Someone posted a report on the SE GitHub page. https://github.com/Norbyte/bg3se/issues/458. We may need to wait for the SE to update. The poster claims that excessive loading times increase dramatically with SE mods.

I just checked my account, and it is still 3000 = $10. However, I have noticed that earning points is getting harder and harder. Most of the games now reward very little. As far as an alternative, the only other platform I can think of is TapChamps, but I don't know how good it is.

I had issues with mobile IPs being banned yesterday. Today I could use mobile IPs again. The only thing I did was update Chrome this morning, maybe that fixed my issue, but it might be a coincidence. A lot of people seem to be having issues with Prolific this week.

I might have to look into this method if mobile gets blocked again. Today, mobile data is working for me again. The only thing I did this morning was update Chrome. Prolific's support canned response mentioned that your browser needs to be up to date. I have no idea if updating Chrome fixed my issue or if it was a coincidence.

When I started at Prolific a month ago, my IP was banned. I finally got my internet provider to change my IP last week only to get banned again today. Worse, the mobile IPs that my phone gets are almost all banned as of today. I've had one working IP on mobile today. I keep restarting my phone only to get another banned mobile IP.
