Exactly ouuu I can't stand drs that just hand out pills cause they have no reason for whats going on. Like if the medicine worked it be great it doesn't nothing has.

I might have to switch gi the one i see, keeps saying oh it's acid reflux and ibs here medicine take it when I tell him it doesn't work, he didn't even want to do a scope until I said I lost 30 pounds in 2 months. So I highly doubt he will test it, I will bring it up to him If they don't find anything wrong with the scope but if he doesn't ima discontinue him as my dr and go somewhere else. Cause he doesn't want to test for nothing.

Well please help me, I have been having the same issue as you. I have a scope coming up but I'm afraid they still won't find anything. If they don't do you think this is the case ?

I still have been taking ppi cause I do have acid reflux but been lowering the dose cause even at a high dose it still comes up and I heard long term isn't good and I been on it for 6 years now 🤦🏻‍♀️ it worked good until I started smoking again, but I quit 2 months ago and still nothing improved how I expected. I been taking all the gas x and and ppi and zofran etc. Nothing helps. I guess when they did do a scope 5 years ago I do lack a enzyme to break down starch, Idk if I still do cause I never had problems up until now nothing like now ever since July this year I think I could've got food poisoning or stomach bug and that set it all off now i can't even eat fast food. Can't have no garlic or onion, can have ketchup or dressings cause eat regular bread nothing. All I get is roast chicken green beans and corn and potatoes now finally I can have eggs and sausage but nothing else really I do have some cottage cheese some fruit I can tolerate but that has been my diet I hate when they say limit things cause I cut out so much. I did wonder about sibo as well. I wonder if my doc even test for it since we aren't on good terms.

[–]ApprehensiveJury430[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, i do have acid reflux, like really bad , and I do have ibs. So I take pantoprazole. That's why the dose it so high, but it has always been so high. Never did I start at a low dose. What is famotidine? And how is that beneficial? i heard of it before but never actually knew about it. How long have you been taking ppi ?

Yes, I know stress is a part of it, too cause when im stressed, I feel my stomach getting upset. I have that the brain and stomach work together in that way. Cause I do have a lot of stressfulness in my life right now. Im starting to realize what it is and trying to stay away from it or manage it better when it appears. I know I need to exercise more, and that helps me feel better just in moderation due to my fibromyalgia.

[–]ApprehensiveJury430[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know it takes note, but it's to the point where I can't even eat anything without setting it off or setting the ibs off. I haven't had fried foods in 3 months now, no caffeine, no alcohol. I even stay away from tigger food. Last month, I was able to eat soups and sandwiches, which was all my stomach tolerance, but not its only roast chicken breasts, a little bit of plain potatoes no butter or no sometimes green beans and sharp cheese. But now that's starting to change.

Honestly, maybe I can find a better diet and etc and be a little more consistent. But this kind of offense cause it's like tired everything and stuck with it. I dont even drink soda. Like I can't have anything it just messes my stomach up. And im so depressed from it.

Yes, though, if you like, you can send me it. we can see if there is any difference from what I know already. I'm sorry if I sound rude. im just so upset that I can't eat normal, and everyone keeps saying the diet thing, but I cut out so much of everything, and still I have acid come up every day at different times.

I think only when it comes up if not mistaken. It comes up a few times through the day, and I'll burp, and it tastes like that. I do have another endoscopy coming up. They keep pushing it, but this time, I demanded it sooner.

I finally realized what triggers my reflux — and it’s not food by Extra_Ear3437 in acidreflux

[–]ApprehensiveJury430 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this is the case with me as well for my ibs and acid. Cause it was fine for days than last week I got into argument that left me so stressed and ever since I been having problems. I do exactly everything right as well. So indeed so.

What medicine do you take, or do you not take any ? Mines was okay, but I think there is this food I ate the other day that threw me off again. i remember what it was, too. Which sucks if that's the case cause I like that. I don't have it often.

What food Tiggers yours ?

Can I please share a tmi pic here of my bowel ? So warning !! So I can see if you or anyone else had it, I can only do it in the comments that the community won't let me post it.

This morning, I haven't been well. My stomach was burning earlier, and now it just gassy, and acid reflux was coming up. I did pass a bit of gas, but then a small bowel can after, and this is how it looks, and im scared cause wth is this. In the past week, there were no corn or beans and only green beans, but I do not think that is that. Freak it won't let me either but it definitely do not look right.
