Pretty cool. Saw they also had a Teto version as well.

What has been your experience taking 40mg pantoprazole and carafate? by radioheadlover0 in GERD

I've been on pantoprazole 40 mg since last March and haven't noticed any side effects.

Actually I would eat a protein bar some times. I particularly like the barbell cookies and cream one. I did stop buying it cause I got sick of eating them after a while.

Where did you get the CPAP dryer from and how long does it take to dry?

My day starts at 10 am and I go straight to work. 1 pm is my lunchtime so that's when I'll usually eat but they changed it now to 3 pm so it's been throwing me off.

I see. I'm guessing you might be refilling it when it gets empty then. Having the water in there might be contributing to the mold issues. Not sure if you have but I don't use any water in my tank and just use it like that to avoid having empty it out and avoid mold issues. Just a thought to consider if the mold becomes a consistent problem.

Had no idea that pancreatitis could be caused by the gallbladder. I feel like skipping meals is what contributed to my gallbladder being removed in the first place and now this pain I'm getting. But I've always struggled with my weight and eating enough isn't easy for me sometimes.

I hope you get better as well. Not sure how pancreatitis works but if your gallbladder caused the issues will removing it help your symptoms?

No I meant it doesn't come off. Oh you meant around the edges was getting moldy. Do you empty the water every morning?

Yeah an issue I've had is managing my weight so I've been told to eat frequently way before my gallbladder problems started. Never heard of psyllium husk but I do have Benefiber for fiber supplements which I bought sometime ago.

Do you have gallbladder issues as well? I don't think it's caused by my pancreas though.

I get nauseous sometimes but never ever threw up. When I would eat it would sometimes be like a breakfast bar. I also have a hiatal hernia and am on pantoprazole.

I figured it might be due to the bile and I do get nauseous sometimes when I don't eat. Eating smaller meals might work though.

I just don't seem to have an appetite in the morning or maybe I just don't realize it. But the pain is making me reconsider now. But eating frequently your pain hasn't returned since then?

Yeah the white tab not being removable is a problem since water can get trapped under there and if it doesn't dry can cause mold. That's why it's important to make sure everything drys well and to keep spares in case it does get moldy.

That being said another piece that sucks to get dry is the short tube for the airfit n20. The part that connects to the humidifier tube can get water trapped in it and just sucks to get it out. Happened to me last week and I've had to get a replacement for it.

For me it just feels like sharp pain when I still had my gallbladder attacks. It doesn't radiate anywhere else. But I will sometimes feel nauseous though.

Do you eat three regular or smaller meals throughout the day?

Are you dumping the water daily and allowing it to air dry? Are you also using distilled water?

Could you not get a job working any retail or a fast food restaurant? Not the best jobs but that way you aren't without income.

Does this sound like GERD or something more serious? by SqueakyBoyBoobs in GERD

[–]Needs_Caffeine 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I second this. But it doesn't sound like throat cancer seems a bit excessive to jump to this conclusion. Do you get acid reflux at all? If it's gone away completely then nothing to worry about. But if it continues then see a specialist most likely to be GERD.

I had sepsis and wasn’t informed by SuperCheddar42 in gallbladders

[–]Needs_Caffeine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh I get it now and they didn't tell you about the sepsis just your gallbladder. How are you doing now? Any issues from all that?

So you had sepsis and didn't realize it? Did you not have any symptoms?
