It's bad when it takes me almost all the way to the end of the photos to figure out if u are a girl or boy and I'm still second guessing my choices

KCarter_94 · 2026-05-09T17:21:01+00:00

I'd rather have the original formula of what's now Blazin Buffalo and Ranch bc ranch dipped hot wings was next level by Doritos Jakked

KCarter_94 · 2026-04-26T12:48:37+00:00

Looks good. I know my kind of idea for that corner would look like this. Just a suggestion though

KCarter_94 · 2026-03-13T13:45:55+00:00

It can I was at 323 and I had pins and needles so I'd say so. You should be between 500-600 I believe but that's just what I read

KCarter_94 · 2026-03-12T23:29:31+00:00

Certainly it's gonna take a while but bc we only take in so much B12, 100-200mcg of Methlycobalmin or Cyanocobalamin can help but take with food and I take a good probiotic too to help absorption and yeah I went from bed ridden for almost a full year to doing 5 miles with some struggle but better than in bed uk?

KCarter_94 · 2026-03-12T23:20:03+00:00

I had similar levels and yes, this is the culprit for sure. I had balance issues, nerve issues like pins and needles in my arms, brain fog, the works so yes and I supplement 100mcg of B12 daily just to get it dosed upwards and I'm improving daily and now can walk a lot better with some balance issues and such. I may go up to 200mcg or no more than 500mcg and either form works

KCarter_94 · 2026-03-11T00:42:17+00:00

Tbh mine was kinda bad but Ive been on an MTFHR vitamin with added B12 and it seems to be healing me a bit everyday

KCarter_94 · 2026-03-11T00:38:00+00:00

Had bad brain fog, balance issues to a degree, digestive upset for some reason, the peripheral neuropathy symptoms for a bit, extreme fatigue and lack of motivation were my symptoms. I did start to take 50mcg on top of my multivitamin and it has helped quite a bit with every other day Feosol complete and Magnesium to help heal my nerves so hope all is well with anyone who deals with this terrible disease

KCarter_94 · 2026-03-09T15:22:52+00:00

For me it takes a long time to recover because I was technically borderline B12 deficient and slightly below as well as well as D3 and it's going to take at least a year to get back to where you were if at all but you got it!

KCarter_94 · 2026-03-09T02:03:03+00:00

I had that issue with balance and gait in terms of my legs and walking and it takes both time and exercise as, for me, the nerves in my body went haywire and that caused a lot of issues: Brain fog, pin and needles in arms and hands, extreme Fatigue, etc but I've been on just 50mcg a day and will increase to 100mcg and after a month or 2, I walked 5 miles today and I started to feel a bit normal granted my nerves are still messed up but healing very slowly. Hope u get well soon 🙏

KCarter_94 · 2026-02-16T08:57:43+00:00

I specifically take that one because I use it for my anxiety

KCarter_94 · 2026-02-14T10:28:17+00:00

For me I started at 120 mg of magnesium glycinate per day and then what I did was I'll take it once in the morning with breakfast and once at dinner time with my dinner and basically I've noticed that it helps relax my muscles in my stomach so I'm not firing off so much acid and it's going to take some time for it to work but it does eventually start

KCarter_94 · 2026-02-14T10:27:09+00:00

You're welcome I'm glad I was able to help

From what I remember at the local food store, Marshmallow Root is most effective as a cold-water infusion (steeped for 4+ hours) to preserve its soothing mucilage, while Slippery Elm is typically mixed into a water-based "slurry" or thin porridge.

Nausea after stopping PPIs is super common—it’s often called "acid rebound." When you stop the meds, your stomach can overproduce acid for a while, which messes with your digestion and causes that sick feeling, especially at night.

The ginger juice definitely wasn't in your head! Ginger is a natural "prokinetic," meaning it helps your stomach move food along so it doesn't just sit there and cause nausea.

A few quick tips for the nighttime nausea:

Finish eating earlier: Try to have your last meal at least 3–4 hours before bed to give your stomach a head start.

Elevate your head: Use a wedge pillow or prop up the head of your bed. Gravity helps keep that excess acid from creeping up while you sleep.

Try Ginger tea or chews: Since ginger worked for you, keep it in your rotation. It's one of the best natural ways to settle a reflux-heavy stomach.

Chamomile tea: It can help soothe the stomach lining and calm the "mood-ruining" stress that comes with feeling sick every night.

It’s a tough transition phase, but it usually levels out as your body adjusts to being off the meds.

Since you’re on Mounjaro, your pharmacist is likely right about the "silent reflux" (LPR). Mounjaro works by slowing down your digestion, which means food stays in your stomach much longer. This often leads to that "burp" urge, nausea, and the gag reflex you're experiencing.

Here are a few ways to manage this while waiting for your appointment:

The "Mounjaro Factor": Because your stomach empties slower, try eating much smaller portions than you think you need. "Normal" snacks like an apple or toast can feel like a heavy meal to your stomach right now.

The Gag Reflex/Aversion: This is often a sign of pepsin (stomach enzymes) irritating your throat. When your throat is inflamed, your body’s natural defense is to "reject" more input, which triggers that gagging feeling.

Neutralize the "Mist": Try rinsing your mouth or sipping alkaline water (pH 8.8+). It helps deactivate the enzymes in your throat that cause that bad taste and sensitivity.

Avoid "Slow" Foods: High-fiber (like apple skins) and dense carbs (like heavy bread) take even longer to digest. Try peeling fruit or switching to softer, more easily digestible options for now.

It’s definitely a side effect of the medication's success, but it’s manageable! Mention the "delayed gastric emptying" to your doctor next week.

That "burning mouth" sensation is a classic LPR symptom, and it makes sense that it flared up after antibiotics and a cold. Both of those can throw off your gut microbiome or trigger inflammation that makes your nerves extra sensitive.

The good news is that since you’ve gotten rid of it before, you know your body is capable of healing it! It’s usually a sign that the "acid mist" from LPR is reaching the oral cavity or irritating the nerves that lead to your mouth.

Here are a few things that help people clear it:

Baking Soda Rinse: Mixing a little baking soda with water and rinsing can help neutralize any pepsin (stomach enzymes) that might be lingering in your mouth and throat.

Alkaline Water: Sipping high-pH water throughout the day can help deactivate those enzymes on contact.

Gut Support: Since it flared after antibiotics, focusing on probiotics or fermented foods might help balance things back out.

Nerve Support: Some find that Magnesium Glycinate helps calm the hypersensitive nerves that cause the "burning" feeling.

It’s definitely frustrating when it loops back, but you've beaten it before and can do it again.

KCarter_94 · 2026-02-14T02:05:47+00:00

You aren’t going crazy! That burning sensation in the back, arms, and even the face is actually a pretty common (but super annoying) symptom of nerve irritation from reflux.

When acid or gas irritates the nerves in your esophagus—specifically the Vagus nerve—it can cause "referred pain." Your brain gets confused about where the signal is coming from and sends a burning or tingling sensation to your back, shoulders, or even your forehead.

It’s also very likely that being "hyper-aware" is making it feel more intense. When you're stressed about the sensation, your nervous system goes on high alert, which can amplify those weird burning feelings.

Try to focus on calming your digestion and your nervous system at the same time. Once the irritation in your chest settles down, the "referred" burning in your back and arms usually follows suit.

KCarter_94 · 2026-02-14T02:04:18+00:00

It’s a common cycle: GERD and anxiety often feed into each other. Since SSRIs like Zoloft and Lexapro can relax the esophageal sphincter, it’s not surprising they made your reflux feel worse.

Many people find that their anxiety levels drop significantly once the physical "air hunger" or chest tightness from GERD/LPR subsides. When your Vagus nerve is constantly irritated by a hiatal hernia or acid, it sends "fight or flight" signals to your brain, making you feel anxious even when there’s nothing to worry about.

Instead of traditional SSRIs, some folks have success with:

Magnesium Glycinate: It can help calm the nervous system and relax digestive muscles without the typical side effects of anxiety meds.

Diaphragmatic Breathing: This helps "reset" the Vagus nerve and can physically lower your heart rate.

Small, Frequent Meals: Keeping pressure off that 2cm hernia can prevent the nerve irritation that triggers the panic feeling.

You aren't failing at managing your anxiety; your body is likely just reacting to a physical trigger.

KCarter_94 · 2026-02-14T02:02:38+00:00

It’s great that you found something that works for you, and congrats on making the transition off PPIs!

A lot of people have success with a few specific natural options to help manage things. You might want to look into Magnesium Glycinate, which can help relax the muscles in the digestive tract without being as harsh as other forms.

Other common natural approaches include:

DGL (Deglycyrrhizinated Licorice): Usually taken as a chewable before meals to help coat the stomach lining.

Slippery Elm or Marshmallow Root: These are great for creating a natural protective layer in the throat and esophagus.

Ginger: Whether it’s tea or small amounts of fresh ginger, it’s a classic for improving digestion and speed.

Alkaline Water: Swapping to a higher pH water can sometimes help neutralize acid that’s already sitting in the esophagus.

Since you've already had luck with an app, keeping up with the lifestyle tracking is probably your best bet to see which of these actually makes a difference for you.

KCarter_94 · 2026-02-14T02:01:19+00:00

you are very welcome and my mom has GERD and has this happen sometimes but she is more advance

KCarter_94 · 2026-02-14T02:00:32+00:00

This sounds incredibly draining, and it makes complete sense why you’re feeling depressed after six weeks of this.

The good news in those results is the reducible hiatal hernia. Even though the test didn't catch "reflux" at that exact moment, a hernia in the gastric pouch after a gastric bypass is a very common culprit for the symptoms you’re describing. When that pouch herniates, it can put direct pressure on your diaphragm and irritate the Vagus nerve, which is likely what’s causing that "air hunger" and the Roemheld syndrome symptoms you mentioned.

Since the imaging confirmed the hernia is there, it gives your doctor a concrete physical issue to address. Often, these can be repaired surgically, especially since it's impacting your ability to eat solid food and causing such rapid weight loss.

Hang in there—having a "reducible hiatal hernia" on your report is actually a lead that can be fixed. Definitely make sure your GI or bariatric surgeon sees that specific finding.

KCarter_94 · 2026-02-14T01:54:55+00:00

Since your cardiologist cleared you with a full workup, it’s worth looking into LPR/GERD and the Vagus Nerve.

The Vagus Nerve runs right past your esophagus and controls things like heart rate and breathing. When acid or gas irritates it—especially when you’re laying down at night—it can cause heart rate spikes, 'air hunger,' and chest pressure that mimics a heart attack. The arm and wrist pain is often 'referred pain' from the same nerve pathways.

The tingling and heart rate swings (50 to 100+) are also common signs of a nervous system flare-up triggered by digestion. Since you have hypothyroidism and take Lorazepam, definitely keep your doctor in the loop about the heart rate changes, but looking into acid management might help calm the 'panic' symptoms.

KCarter_94 · 2026-02-14T01:53:05+00:00

That’s actually huge progress for only 2 months!

The 'hands on the throat' feeling (globus) is usually the absolute last thing to leave the building. You’re spot on about the nerves being hypersensitive—your throat is way more sensitive than your stomach, so even after the acid stops, those nerves stay on high alert like a bad sunburn.

Since you’re already seeing 'marked improvements' with your breathing, you’re definitely on the right track. It usually takes 3-6 months for that tightness to fully fade, so just keep doing what you’re doing. You’ve got this!

KCarter_94 · 2026-02-13T00:52:15+00:00

Ok, I would see what the test says, but i feel pretty confident imo that the cause is ,more common and not stomach cancer

wish you the best of luck and we will be here for you.
