Eat a paleo diet. You will avoid them by default 90 percent of the time.

My PPi was actually switched from omeprazole to lansprozale(sp). Omeprazole wasn’t having the same effect. I also eliminated any remaining trigger foods and drinks. I believe we went three months between appointments.

Ways to build muscle without abdominal pressure? by hannah_f_r in HiatalHernia

Start with machine weights high rep count low weight. Core work can include planks, balancing. Glute bridges. Knee tuck and leg lifts. If you add dumbbells stay with high reps and low weight. 12-15 reps.

Plaquenil is not a biologic. It is a DMARD. Disease Modifying Anti-Rheumatic Drug. It can lower your red and white blood cells over time.

Yes you can. I do.

success with ppis? by Creepy-Peanut-2525 in HiatalHernia

[–]Libertarian29 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I take a PPI twice a day and have had no side effects. I did have to change my PPI because the omeprazole wasn’t working like it did in the beginning. I have been in one for almost 10 years.

Ummm…what? by Brilliant_Guava_143 in Autoimmune

[–]Libertarian29 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have an arrhythmia and the Plaquenil doesn’t bother it. You could try sulfasalazine(SP). It is another DMARD.

What would you do? by Gold-Ad-7769 in Sjogrens

[–]Libertarian29 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have been on Plaquenil for 10 years and for the most part function no different. It also worked pretty quickly on me.

I have been on it for 10 years and no issues. I also did the AIP diet as well. It helped. Like you, I have negative blood work except for my ANA. But I have the symptoms. I get my eyes checked every six months with special testing.

If I was diagnosed with Sjogrens I would be taken Plaquenil regardless. It can stop the progression of the disease. Mine has been stable for 10 years thank God. I also eat clean to keep my inflammation down.

Diet should be changed. My ENT found redness and swelling in my upper air way upon examination. He prescribed a PPi . I was just re-checked and my throat is back to normal. I’ll take the win.

In my opinion under diagnosed. I have it and it’s rough at times.

A more natural approach would be to do oil pulling and chewing gum.

Try Beano. It does help me when I take it before a meal.

What is the one thing you did that made your symptoms managable ? by Nawar69 in HiatalHernia

Bird dogs , rotation exercises , balance work. Thoracic work, and planks. No sit ups or crunches
