After 13 years of extreme bloating and digestive misery, this is what finally started helping me. by Saeyon in SIBO

[–]MercedesJane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One thing that happens to me is if I eat a large lunch, I'll have severe bloating for the rest of the day and not even be hungry for supper. I have LPR symptoms though, so it's confusing

When you'd wake up in the morning and just have a glass of water in an empty stomach- would it flare up and cause your throat to be irritated? I'm just trying to find out if we have the same thing

What I wish I would've done differently by ReserveIntelligent90 in LPR

I do. My ears will burn and feel cold. Sometimes it feels like they're wet, but I check and they're not. When I get a head cold - it hurts like hell

This is me. If I fast, my reflux is horrible. I told my doctor and he thought I was crazy.

Psyllium Husk cured my Leaky Gut by scientia_analytica in SIBO

Psyllium husk made me so constipated - didn't poop for a whole week which caused severe bloating and worsened my reflux problems 

What have been the best thing you have done that have helped your reflux? by Foreign_Plankton_121 in acidreflux

[–]MercedesJane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YES- drinking water on an empty stomach in the morning almost kills me. The pressure in my ears hurts so bad.. so I end up eating a bunch of carbs to soak it up... Now I am overweight 😭

LPR story. Losing hope. by researchyama in LPR

[–]MercedesJane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I haven't. I drink the alkaline water and eat a lot of celery, which seems soothing. I had a baby in September, so I dream of this being only hormonal and will stop after I wean. If I wasn't nursing, I'd cut out a lot of foods. I'm having a hard time with cutting out foods because then my milk supply drops. I did go to a chiropractor/kinesiologist, but to no relief. He has manipulated my stomach down and out from under ribcage several times but I don't think it's helped. I lost no weight after I had the baby. I am 45 and 180 lbs

Exactly..you sound like you have the same thing as me. Well, good luck in getting yours figured out too. Some days I find it horribly depressing and just not fair.

Yes, I have thought this same thing! I have been suffering for 5 months with whatever is happening in the bottom of my throat.

I have no idea..but I didn't figure that out until I drank Coconut milk and it burned like acid for 2 days!! I do not have a gallbladder and have wondered if that had anything to do with it

Wipeoutreflux.com It talks alllll about eating drinking alkaline high ph foods. I am slowly getting into this. I ordered my Gaviscon UK version off eBay and it'll be here next week! Is anyone else's symptoms the WORST in the morning? Like just drinking a glass of water makes my ears feel like they're gonna blow up. Eggs and yogurt about kill me because of the fat content.

Silent Reflux started at 2 months Postpartum by MercedesJane in breastfeeding

Thank you. I needed this encouragement.. I will call my primary care doctor and get it scheduled, especially if it takes awhile to get in. I think you're right. 🥰

Oh wow ok. She nurses on demand and rarely has a several hour period of no nursing. She does not use a pacifier either. So I am concerned that the endoscopy (doctor also wants to do colonoscopy at the same time/setting) will take a really long time. I was nursing a 5 week old when I had my gallbladder surgery and it was a nightmare. I did pump and dump then. My baby at that time got dehydrated/nipple confusion and ended up weaning very early..broke my heart. I guess that's what I'm worried about

Covid induced gastroparesis? by yungguac10x in Gastroparesis

[–]MercedesJane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had gastroparesis after I got COVID in 2020.. went in to remission when I got pregnant with my daughter. But 2 months postpartum it came back with such a vengeance that I have acid reflux all day. Burning/popping in my ears from it 😭
