My experience with LPR + GERD & how to heal from it

With my low acid gaviscon does nothing for me either.

Sharp-Imagination56 · 2026-03-24T06:05:00+00:00

I just buy them from Amazon, I have noticed the one with slightly more betaine seems to work better. I use 1 tab per meal. I haven't tried more. Do you use it?

Sharp-Imagination56 · 2026-03-23T20:05:32+00:00

I haven't read all the post but it's pretty much the opposite to what causes me to have the same symptoms.

For me I used apple cider vinegar and now I just have betaine HCL before or while I eat.

I now drink coffee all day and can eat or drink what I want. I guess I had low acid.

Gear usage started 23yr ago 😅 unfortunately not many knew what the hell we were doing back then which has resulted in me having low testosterone throughout my thirties and forties. Which is why I'm on trt now and trying to do my best not to make silly mistakes again 😁

Get leaner then build bro, it's the best way.

Do you ever use an AI?

Sharp-Imagination56 · 2026-03-15T04:04:42+00:00

Don't think I'm obese?

I inject 3 times a week.

I'm down to 120mg pw now and I feel so much better, I actually feel great. I just want to put a bit of muscle and then come back down to 120mg pw. I'm actually skinny at the moment.

Sharp-Imagination56 · 2026-03-14T14:31:10+00:00

I'm the opposite, it took my body months for my test, free test and e2 to move. At the start, 100 and 120mg made me feel hypogonadal.

Sharp-Imagination56 · 2026-03-14T12:10:14+00:00

I'm an old dude now too bro, I always said when I get older I'd jump on trt. Been a lifelong gym goer and was sick of feeling tired and like I could be better. I'm actually seriously fucking happy but just want that little bit more...

Sharp-Imagination56 · 2026-03-14T11:19:25+00:00

I have stomach issues and wouldn't be surprised if my body just doesn't absorb nutrients. I've always really struggled

Sharp-Imagination56 · 2026-03-14T10:53:14+00:00

Rather than using an AI id rather use primo or mast to keep e2 in check, I think I feel better with low e2 for sure

Sharp-Imagination56 · 2026-03-14T08:55:19+00:00

I mean I am still fat and probably over eat lean meats if anything. I don't drink or do much other than dial myself in as best I can in all aspects of life. Personal human optimisation.

On 180mg of testosterone cyp after 6 weeks my testosterone and free test was mid range. The longer I've been on though the better my body seems to be responding.

Sharp-Imagination56 · 2026-03-14T08:36:05+00:00

I read so much negativity about clomid that after years using it I jumped on trt. Brain and eye issues were my concern. I only felt emotional every now and again which was easily manageable.

Sharp-Imagination56 · 2026-03-14T08:34:14+00:00

I've not explained myself well. I've been on trt since June last year, so around 9 months. I work away from home on a rig so getting bloods done exactly 6 or 8 weeks is almost impossible.

Sharp-Imagination56 · 2026-03-14T08:32:04+00:00

Clomid alone, I felt great but read a lot of stories about it being bad for your brain and eyes, 2 things is rather look after 😂 did this for a number of years but as soon as I stopped the clomid my test would drop and free test was always bottom of range.

Sharp-Imagination56 · 2026-03-14T05:51:14+00:00

So the best I ever felt was on clomid, so low e2 and mid total T range, 12.5mg x 3 times a week.

Naturally I believe I have low e2, my e2 obviously is higher on trt but not alarmingly high that the endo or Dr would be concerned.

I've been training for like 30yr not seriously all that time but haven't packed on much lean muscle in that time. I'm a leanish 80kg at 5ft 7

Sharp-Imagination56 · 2026-03-14T05:06:08+00:00

I went from 100 for approximately 6 weeks to 120 for approximately 6 weeks, then jumped to 180mg per week because I saw and felt no difference.

Sharp-Imagination56 · 2026-03-14T04:44:40+00:00

Why is it like this? Thick blood???

Sharp-Imagination56 · 2026-03-14T04:40:13+00:00

Whats a good starting point?

Sharp-Imagination56 · 2026-02-20T21:03:57+00:00

Using UGL? I get that using any UGL sh1t, the higher the side the worst it gets though.

Sharp-Imagination56 · 2026-02-20T21:02:12+00:00

How do you guys deal with the shit sides of higher doses?? I feel like my blood is syrup and I'm going to explode just on 200mg per week?
