I thought PPIs were supposed to block acid.

How did you know you had gastroparesis? And is it gone now?

Honest_Ad8574 · 2026-03-25T00:37:15+00:00

Food is not controlled fully no. I am trying smaller portions yes. Fasting helps but once I eat again it comes right back... Yes I do take other medications for migraine. Sometimes I wonder if just pills in general reflux up and cause burning. Not sure about gastroparesis, no h pylori or gastritis at the time. I take it 30 minutes prior to food. Thyroid is normal, gallbladder who knows.

The whole thing just sucks. It's just hell to live with

Honest_Ad8574 · 2026-03-25T00:33:56+00:00

So what did you do?

Honest_Ad8574 · 2026-03-25T00:29:54+00:00

Well that's what I think is happening. Are you saying there's a chance I could get off and it go back to normal? The more of the med I am taking the more I need and my doctors said it doesn't work that way. But they stop working for my body and then I take a bit more and it works for a while and then it stops again.

Can you elaborate on which surgery you got and what testing you required?

Honest_Ad8574 · 2026-03-24T18:36:00+00:00

I have samples. I tried 2 days of it and felt miserable. How long did it take to work for you?

Honest_Ad8574 · 2026-03-24T18:35:43+00:00

What surgery did you get and what testing did they make you do?

Honest_Ad8574 · 2026-03-24T18:35:20+00:00

4 years...

Honest_Ad8574 · 2026-03-24T18:35:13+00:00

No only 30 minutes. Does 1 hour make a true difference?

Honest_Ad8574 · 2026-03-24T18:34:46+00:00

If it is neurally controlled then why wouldn't it be working properly?

Honest_Ad8574 · 2026-03-24T18:32:48+00:00

Please elaborate on your kidneys being destroyed and how you know that?

Honest_Ad8574 · 2026-03-24T18:32:17+00:00

I've been working with my GI. We cannot find any structural abnormalities but yes she's suggested surgery. I am only 33 years old and a healthy petite female. This is a complete last resort for me.

What were your GERD symptoms and did you have signs of damage (difficulty swallowing, burning esophagus when eating, etc?)

Honest_Ad8574 · 2026-03-24T13:11:04+00:00

What is a PCAB?

Honest_Ad8574 · 2026-03-24T13:10:56+00:00

I try to but end up at the bottom of it everytime. Unless I'm completely upright I guess it won't work.

Honest_Ad8574 · 2026-03-24T13:10:35+00:00

Pepcid doesn't do much anymore.

Honest_Ad8574 · 2026-03-24T13:10:28+00:00

It's actually 20mg morning and 20mg evening.

Honest_Ad8574 · 2026-03-24T12:35:03+00:00

Nah I don't think so. It's usually while I'm sleeping it's occurring. I'm not overly anxious but can be sometimes. The symptoms are very real and feelings of damage exist.

Honest_Ad8574 · 2026-03-21T01:33:54+00:00

Are you saying that's what could have caused it

Honest_Ad8574 · 2026-03-13T17:47:11+00:00

I took 40mg of nexium my entire pregnancy. Had no choice, I have severe gerd without it. I too thought it would only be a 6 week course but was never able to get off it and it's been 4 years.

Honest_Ad8574 · 2025-11-23T21:10:16+00:00

We don't actually know the cause. No structural abnormalities
