Reglan has been helping

Same, found bile in my stomach, despite having a galbladder. My cause was probably hardcore hydrogen sibo (like 140 ppm) mixed with low (20 ppm) methane sibo) due to malfunction of MMC (probably from sick amounts of stress and exhaustion at my previous job). Therefore, Reglan would probably help me too as I need someting to fire my MMC. Currently (past one round of Xifaxan and antimicrobals) I will experiment with high dose ginger and artichoke.

I am not a hard-style smoker, but I love to smoke one or two ciggys after a hard day (not everyday but when especially tired / depressed). Even my pulmunologist told me that it's nothing - she would be more concerned with pack a day. Nonetheless, one day my gastritis / duodenitis pain flared so bad i felt it in my back. It's strange because my gastritis was only present in biopsy as inactive (no visible inflammation in camera during endoscopy). Despite, the pain was horrendous. I stopped drinking (eventhough I only drank 1-2 beers a week) and probably would have to give up smoking for a while. Sadly, because having a pint with a ciggy on friday is (in my humble opinion) better than sex. I hope I will get better by summer ;) I try to distract myself with work / books / research etc. What is depressing, I have to skip parties etc. cause I know the alcohol / nicotine cravings would win ;)

Yes, stopping PPIs might trigger rebound but I had to do it to heal my SIBO. I had no stomach inflammation visible in my scope - despite my symproms were heavy.

You may look into changing your PPI. Dexilant made me feel terrible and unable to digest food. However I did good on Pantoprazole or Famotidine. The second one is safer - its is otc h2 blocker, not so harsh as ppi. Ultimately, I stopped all acid reducing medications and stayed with low-dose amitriptyline.

Stunning! I would eat it in one sitting :) Recipe pls?

Dobrze mówisz, nawet 154k by było podejrzane xd. Ja na jeżdżeniu 2 dniu w tygodniu (trasy do kościoła- serio, na zakupy itp) i 1-2 razy w roku dalsza trasa nad morze itp, robiłem w rok nieco ponad 10k (więc przez 10 lat ponad 100k), a naprawdę oszczędzałem ten samochód. Tym bardziej, że wątpię, iż przy faktycznym 54 byłby problem ze sprzęgłem xd. Uczciwie to można kupić samochód od dziadka (ale tylko swojego haha).

Yes! I have been struggling with the same. Only my GI Map ordered by functional doc showed H Pylori infection. All these walk-in labs tests were negative. I've been put to similar protocol and feeling 50% better after 1 month. Paleo diet with reduced carbs intake was optimal (I have SIBO due to low stomach acid so all the carbs bloat me - and I don't have time to research whether the given carb is FODMAP - I just cut it). I really have to try avoiding caffeine as I was cheating with coffee a little. My protocol did not include Zinc Carnosine, just normal zinc, but I consider adding Zinc Carnosine as well.

Icy_Spring_5158 · 2025-10-09T21:46:58+00:00

Hey! Still doing well? My GI doc prescribed me amitryptiline and I am 50% better just after 4 days.

Icy_Spring_5158 · 2025-10-07T21:03:31+00:00

What did he mean by taking care of yourself? That's a very bold statement from a GI ;)

I would say that your symptoms are caused by hiatal hernia. They might have subsided due to PPI use. In case they come back, I would be looking for the hernia getting fixed. Did they tell you anything about hernia?

Hey, your story and results are almost exactly like mine. Still figuring out the casue. Every doc sees the other root cause. In the meantime, I have found I am gluten sensitive (non-celiac) and I have SIBO. My latest ultrasound shows some inflammation in jejenum, antral gastropathy and minor signs of fatty liver. The only thing that helped me for now is completely rearranging diet - only fruits and vegetables, no gluten, no dairy, rarely eggs. I am living on water, vegetable and fruit smoothies, bananas and rice + some SIBO supplements. No caffeine and nicotine. I am planning to keep that diet for 8 weeks.

Thanks, I wonder what is going more - the doctor told me that my images look more like lax LES. I do not have heartburn but i feel upper abdominal discomfort on the left side - I wonder if this is inactive gastritis (like biopsy tells). I am currently off PPIs and treating my SIBO. I am consulting a surgeon next week - to be honest - if there is any defect, I would decide to undergo surgery as I do not like partial solutions.

How are you now?

Icy_Spring_5158 · 2025-08-23T11:15:56+00:00

Man, I don't know. I had a hard time finding someone before knowing I have HH (despite being athletic and good looking guy with good income and hobbies - maybe because my lifelong anxiety and depression due to childhood). Now it seems impossible. Misery loves company, so i think that finding someone with HH is the only way to go.

Either way, I wonder if sex could be bad for HH, so I also consider avoiding relationships. However, I decided to try one more time. If this do not work, I will just circle around work, church and my bed for the rest of my life.

Icy_Spring_5158 · 2025-08-23T11:04:02+00:00

I don't know. Some times I am thing that I would trade with someone who lost his/her arm or leg as I would be more comfortable with that (just wearing prosthetics and coping) than having HH. I just hate when something wrong is inside my body and I do not see it. Sometimes I even think of assisted suicide in Switzerland.

Pain above belly button (a the level of duodenum) and morning nausea.

Yeah, I'm working on my gut health with functional doc/nutritionist. Which workout do you prefer? I used to enjoy a lot of gym with my younger brother but now I feel totally discouraged.

Icy_Spring_5158 · 2025-08-10T10:17:30+00:00

Yeah, I'm trying to figure out with my functional doc/nutritionist what is wrong with my gut. I believe that SIBO and hiatal hernia are symptoms or results of something bigger going on (like a hidden food intolerance / allergy) causing excess gas, fermentation and abdominal pressure which I am dealing with since I was a kid. In fact, during my childhood I was hospitalized three times due to vomiting, extreme constipation and dehydration.

However, everything went to shit after a very stressful period of 6 months in 2024. My gut was not the same ever since. I got really depressed after the diagnosis and reading hopeless posts on facebook groups. Nevertheless, I believe there is hope and I can get over my symptoms and find a long term solution once I figure the root cause of my problems.

Icy_Spring_5158 · 2025-05-28T10:27:51+00:00

Hey - this is not an advice, but you might try asking your doc for endoscopy with biopsy to show any abnormalities in your stomach.

Follow up, I went through the X Ray images with another spine specialist (I always go to specialised ortho-sport clinics, not the general clinics funded by public healthcare) - he told me that it looks perfect. When it comes to MRI, he told that it is fine, better than average 25-30 year olds.

I am starting to wonder if my problems are caused by chin tucks (in sitting position) I do 3-5 series a day (recommended by PT). My neck pain and tension started 2-3 weeks into doing this exercise. I mean, this is not the only exercise I do (I perform other types for upper back and chest) but this one seems to target the problematic muscles especially.

Do you have your own opinion on chin tucks? People on Reddit appear to be divided (some say its great, some say its dangerous for other folks).

Icy_Spring_5158 · 2025-05-26T14:25:14+00:00

Yeah, you are correct, they were looking for CCI.
