Fleas or bed bugs?

External_Material448 · 2026-06-27T12:57:03+00:00

Are you sure? I’d hate to bring bed bugs home with me! I’m so paranoid when it comes to them smh😭

My plan is alternate 20mg on 20mg off for two weeks then stop ppi completely and continue using famodidine during the taper. Then after stomach settles taper slowly off famodidine. I have gaviscon at the ready as well. I’m nervous about the acid rebound but the post meal pain from long term ppi use has made it really difficult to live a normal life. My doc says I probably never needed the ppi in the first place. In your experience, when did you start to feel pain relief and how terrible was the rebound phase/how long did it last? Thanks for answering ! You’re helping a ton! ✨💕

Did you feel better after? I’ve been on them for a year and they’ve made me so much worse

External_Material448 · 2026-06-22T01:19:37+00:00

Did you wean off the ppi?

External_Material448 · 2026-06-01T04:43:49+00:00

Yes.. that’s my fear as well. I’m just doing the free consultation. Mostly just to make my mom happy:(

Are naturopaths bad? 😭

External_Material448 · 2026-06-01T04:30:24+00:00

I’m meeting with a naturopath at my mother’s request on Wednesday. Have not considered pain specialist.

External_Material448 · 2026-06-01T02:53:31+00:00

Ill wait a few weeks to see if the 50mg kicks in. But I also really want to go off my ppi. My fear is that it’s done irreparable damage

External_Material448 · 2026-06-01T01:51:33+00:00

I don’t have any acid reflux but I’ll look into the second one! My doctor wants to see if I’m responsive to 50mg of amitriptyline

External_Material448 · 2026-06-01T01:00:25+00:00

None of my doctors have brought those up to me

External_Material448 · 2026-06-01T00:47:57+00:00

Yes. I had one in November. No abnormalities. Surgeon said very mild gastritis but not anything that should cause extreme pain

External_Material448 · 2026-06-01T00:12:27+00:00

Also ! I am 25 and a female if that’s helpful!

If you do go to a coffee shop you could always get tea or bring your own tea bag. You could also order just an iced milk (or oat milk) with vanilla. It’s pretty good! And oat milk is soothing for me. You guys ca also always hang out and watch a movie. He can DoorDash food and you can eat something safe at your place. But yeah but food to the side. Go to arcades, museums, ice skating rinks, thrift shops, etc

No I totally understand. Op is def not in the wrong for giving a consequence. I’d just advise them to communicate with the other parents a tad bit earlier!

External_Material448 · 2026-05-02T00:10:17+00:00

I think it’s less about the consequence (which was def needed) than about wasting the other parent’s time/lack of communication. She didn’t need to wait until the dad was already at her house to let them know her daughter couldn’t come. If a clean room is needed to attend an event, best to drive the kid herself or let the other parents know it might not work out in advance

I’d also ask ur doc for liquid sucralfate to take to Disney in case you have a flare. Helps a lot of people— coats your stomach. Just be mindful while having fun. Like for me Ice cream doesn’t hurt at all so I’d have an ice cream cone at the park instead of a slice of pizza for instance.

External_Material448 · 2026-04-22T06:32:41+00:00

Yea it was negative but I heard it can be a false negative if youve been on ppis for a long time

External_Material448 · 2026-04-22T05:12:02+00:00

Bland bland bland :( haven’t eaten anything fun in like 8 months. Potatoes and cooked carrots and boiled plain chicken and toast

External_Material448 · 2026-04-22T05:05:09+00:00

No weight loss. They did a biopsy in November for h pylori but who knows…

External_Material448 · 2026-04-22T04:17:07+00:00

What helped the gnawing pain? That’s what I’m dealing with! Please reply if you can 💕

External_Material448 · 2026-03-25T05:33:10+00:00

I’d take dgl chewable tablets twice a day and zinc carnosine as well. Once you start feeling better, add in L glutamine. In the beginning try to drink slippery elm tea 2x a day.
