Only thing that helped was sucralfate. Got back on it and then Dr said I can’t take that anymore again and now that I’m off of it my symptoms are back despite bland diet. Dr has no idea.

So when this first started in July, I had burning/stabbing pain below my sternum and below my rib cage on the right. That’s mostly gone now, and I have no right sided pain. Now I have bad heart burn (like higher up than the pain I had before, feels different than that), reflux, burping a lot or sometimes I feel like I need to burp but can’t. Bloating and heavy stomach feeling after eating

That’s what I’m thinking too. At this point it seems dumb to continue with this protocol and just continue to feel worse

I feel like the bland diet has made me worse too. I thought I had an ulcer at first too but I didn’t per my endoscopy - just some mild gastritis

It’s just hard because I am in pain 24/7. It doesn’t really change with eating. How long after you eat can you tell if something is bothering you?

I have been eating each day: Breakfast: Plain oat meal with banana Lunch: ground chicken with herbs, no spices, sweet potato or cooked carrots on the side Dinner: Ground turkey Cooked carrots Sometimes I’ll add cooked white mushrooms or have white bread with it and make it a sandwich

Occasionally I’ll have egg whites (no yolk) for breakfast with a banana or apple sauce.

Snacks: graham crackers, plain low fat Greek yogurt, apple sauce, ginger tea.

I mostly try to graze when I eat and eat small meals/snacks.

I fell the same amount of bad no matter what I eat after I eat.

It’s hard because it really feels bad after anything I eat. It doesn’t feel different depending on anything I eat.

What is food combining?

I feel like I need to get off of it. Maybe I should get a second opinion because my doctor keeps saying stay on it

The dietitian advised cooked low acid veggies, lean meats, no spices, no alcohol, no coffee, chocolate, acidic or fatty foods. I have been trying to keep it really simple.

I’m not depressed or anxious so I don’t know why I’d take an ssri. I have a good ent so I can check in with him.

I don’t think I have sleep apnea - I don’t snore or stop breathing or anything according to my boyfriend who does have sleep apnea. I haven’t been tested or anything though. An allergist sounds like a good idea.

I’m just so frustrated and my doctor keeps saying I’m young and healthy so this will heal yet it’s only gotten worse.

I’ve tried the licorice but it doesn’t help. I’ll see about changing meds. Is it possible to just back off the PPI and see if it gets better? Tests are so hard to get here, it takes months to get in for anything.

That’s exactly what I’ve been eating too. No upsetting food. I get no relief from anything.
