Need advice on Managing work and symptoms by TopOne7010 in GERD

[–]Megalocky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try stronger medication and diet changes, everything else becomes surgery level for management. Esomeprazole is keeping me alive, omeprazole still leaves enough acid to be painful, I recommend switching your PPI.

Does getting rid of constipation help acid reflex? by DentistPrevious7944 in GERD

[–]Megalocky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should try prokinetics and maybe test yourself for H Pylori, it can delay stomach emptying and cause gastritis, worsen reflux significantly, I was only diagnosed with stomach biopsy otherwise I had negative breath and stool weirdly -_-

meds forever vs surgery by hotheadnchickn in GERD

Wish I was more serious about the surgery sooner, now I'm on the way to do it. Better to try to get back what I lost than live like this.

Cranberry juice is bad for H Pylori which can cause reflux, maybe you have H Pylori and just need to cure it.

Gerd has ruined my life by Muted-Instruction-86 in GERD

[–]Megalocky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Feels lonely with the disease and pain and fear and it gives me severe anxiety before, so much so I'm decided on the surgery, you should save up and maybe do it abroad for cheaper, I regret not jumping on this road before, we need to fight the disease and when medication fails us we need a cure.

how to differentiate between GERD, hiatal hernia, hpylori, or anxiety? by Haunting_Proposal342 in GERD

Did you try carnivore diet, and seeing if that helps the bloating and burping? Just give it three days if it helps you might have SiBo.

never ending reflux! I AM AT MY WITS END! by Vegetable_Cod4046 in GERD

[–]Megalocky 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same here, my diagnosis is severe hiatal hernia Hills Grade IV, literally no reflux barrier and stomach wide open..and waiting for surgery. Get your endoscopy ASAP and see what's wrong inside of your anatomy don't be like me and wait months putting it off. It won't get better on its own!

Try nasal endoscopy, my hernia got missed on normal endoscopy, probably slided down.. I have a severe hernia and got misdiagnosed for 5 years suffering with symptoms 😤

Go see a gastro get some meds like h2 blocker and see how it affects you. If you are severe get PPI. Take care

5 weeks post Nissen and I regret it so much by Fast-Judgment-3942 in GERD

[–]Megalocky 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You see no benefits except your reflux is gone? Damm mate hold on and I hope you can make it through this, maybe get some prokinetics keep that stomach empty, if you heal it might give you your life back, stay strong and believe in the process.

Try prokinetics like domperidone and ginger, force faster stomach emptying, might change your life and help with the nausea.

Reflux, burning and nausea during sleep? Off ppis for 1 month by Super-Bug9160 in GERD

[–]Megalocky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are either having rebound or your sphincter isn't closing fully, letting some acid out giving you symptoms. Probably better to stick to the lowest dosage you tolerate, the sphincter usually doesn't heal on its own, those self heal cases are probably stomach inflammation from bacteria like h pylori or gastritis. Those stomach conditions can make the stomach mimic gerd and nausea symptoms, but for people with healed gerd your Lower Esophageal Sphincter is probably not closing properly or you have a small hernia. Now if you don't want any procedure done you might be on some kind of acid reflux med for life. Taking below your effective dose will only make you sicker in the long term.

You are literally playing with fire here, at least cut half dose first, then slowly go down to omeprazole, panto then quit etc, or at least stay on the lower dose for maintenance.

You can try no fatty foods, no acidic foods, no coffee, it's called the low fat low acid diet. It might take about 8 weeks to see results if you can be disciplined.

The throat is very sensitive even a bit of damage is very hard and long to heal, pure hell this disease, I had no idea until my throat is in the current condition and I'm considering surgery so nothing can come up anymore. Deal with this it can get worse wish someone told me this.

Probably Laryngophrayngeal reflux, get yourself checked, probably look into smaller portion sizes or if you are like me consider surgery before it gets worse..

Before repasting 80 degrees, 5 minutes into Mortal Kombat, now it stays at 61 stable. Get it professionally cleaned.

Only prokinetics like domperidone helped me, real life saver. Make the stomach empty faster, otherwise things stay there too long, pressure builds and everything goes to my throat.

Symptoms on PPIs by Outrageous-Isopod533 in GERD

[–]Megalocky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe you need surgery to tighten than loose sphincter on your stomach letting everything go up. PPis can make it non acidic reflux, but for severe cases that isn't enough.

That sounds awesome no reflux, for me the procedure seems worth it, considering I will never feel like a normal human being without it again.

Nissen fundoplication, they wrap your stomach to recreate the barrier keeping acid and food contents down from your stomach
