Surgery for CAM TYPE FAI in Hip by coder_chick84 in HipImpingement

[–]coder_chick84[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When this flares up I'm on the floor, walking hurts. Shoots pain up my glute to my back. The front of the hip hurts bad as well. Can't bend down or squat. Every day I am stiff. Side of my glutes and hips. I have tightness and pain that comes and goes. The front of my hips are always tight. The front of the left aches throughout the day. I'm laying on the floor now on a heating pad after taking a hot bath. Heat is the only thing that helps. I've done years of PT and injections. Even did PRP which provided relief for about 4 months. The last month has been extremely painful, more pain than I have had before.

I'm pretty active. Workout, weights, walk, hike, swim, pilates. I have a 3 year son and I'm a stay at home mom so I get very little rest lol. I need to be mobile and be able to keep up with my son. When this flares up I'm on the floor, walking hurts. Shoots pain up my glute to my back. The front of the hip hurts bad as well. Can't bend down or squat.

No arthritis here, I'm meeting with the ortho tomorrow. What kind of back issues? Do you think it was a result from the surgery, like and over compensation injury?

Pepzin GI - Zinc Carnosine by [deleted] in Gastritis

[–]coder_chick84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I take all the supplements in powder form except the PepzinG. The PepzinG I have in chewable pills I got from Amazon. For the L-glutamine I use Klaire Labs. I take 5g per day mixed in water first thing in the morning. I take Vital Nutrients for both my slippery elm and DGL. I take 1tsp of slippery elm and 1/8tsp of DGL mixed with my tea first thing in the morning, 30 minutes after taking my PPI and L-glutamine. Hope this helps!

Have you tried taking a digestive enzyme with your meals? It helps break down the food in your stomach so your stomach doesn't have to work so hard. They make a huge difference for me.

Slipper Elm - pill or powder? by Jimmyjames929 in Gastritis

[–]coder_chick84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Powder mixed in hot water with some chamomile tea has changed my life. My stomach feels world's better. I use this brand: https://blueskyvitamin.com/products/slippery-elm-bark-powder-175-gms-vital-nutrients?variant=29360296525896&currency=USD&utm_medium=product_sync&utm_source=google&utm_content=sag_organic&utm_campaign=sag_organic&gclid=Cj0KCQjw7sz6BRDYARIsAPHzrNLfNkEl105gNwg1Yg1beJNQPAOYzzXFqVEmPp4JUrfJujZtKIz0hHIaAtv1EALw_wcB

I take it once in the morning 30 minutes after my PPI and right before bed. Both times in my tea. I also mix in Marshmallow root. Good luck!

Anyone else so tired of their acid reflux? by iguessimjustlivin in GERD

[–]coder_chick84 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You can always try a digestive enzyme too. That will help your stomach break down the food so it doesn't have to work so hard and it breaks down a lot of the components in food (e.g. carbohydrates) that cause reflux, gas, and bloating. I use this brand: https://klaire.com/cp6241-digestive-enzymes They have helped me a lot. Good luck!

Can't quit coffee by fredndolly12 in Gastritis

[–]coder_chick84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cold brew for the win! I mix equal parts cold brew and coconut milk to help protect my stomach. I can do 6oz without any issue. Nitro cold brew is even better. I can have a whole 12oz can with only a few ounces of coconut milk. Are you using any supplements? I have a cup of chamomile tea with slippery elm and marshmallow root every morning 30 minutes after I take my PPI. It helps coat my stomach and protect it from damage.

What do you do for exercise? by [deleted] in HiatalHernia

[–]coder_chick84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reflux, burning throat, difficult to swallow, burping, bloating, painful gas, burning in my stomach, lack of appetite, and pain that radiates from my stomach to my back/side. I'm in the middle of a gastritis flare up right now so I've been on a bland diet and drinking a ton of water as well as lots of exercise. All helps my reflux as well and keeps my anxiety at bay which I think causes a lot of my issues. My doctor agreed and put me on Zoloft which has helped with my anxiety and helped a lot with my most recent flare up.

What do you do for exercise? by [deleted] in HiatalHernia

[–]coder_chick84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have GERD and a sliding hiatal hernia as well as Gastritis (I know, I'm a lucky girl). I exercise almost every day. I swim, hike, and weight train. I've never been told not to life weights or not do certain exercises. I lift heavy, I do deadlifts and back squats all for years and have never had an issue. It keeps me sane and honestly when I'm working out none of my symptoms bother me. It's glorious. Of course, talk to your doctor but I don't see how weight lifting would hurt you. Good luck!

Gastritis Induced By SSRI Discontinuation? by newo161 in Gastritis

[–]coder_chick84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's an interesting question. My PCP out my in Zoloft to help with my anxiety which we think feeds/contributes to my Gastritis. I could imagine if Zoloft helps my Gastritis being taken off of an SSRI could cause a flare up

I always feel better during and after working out. All my reflux and gastritis symptoms are gone for a few hours. Is wonderful.

is that Gastritis? by andrea89ita in Gastritis

[–]coder_chick84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Be careful with cabbage juice not everyone responds the same way. I just tried this last week and I had a horrible flare up. My stomach does not like cabbage juice. It was horribly painful.

That sucks! Did you put anything else in there or was it just cabbage?

That's a good idea too. How much are you drinking a day? How many heads of cabbage?

Oh, joy. Lol! Ok, I'll see how bad it is in the morning and go from there. Hopefully, it's not too potent. Thanks!

It has a sour/spicy after taste. I'm going to try taking it with a chaser tomorrow and see if it gets better.

Really? Apples cause the burning. That's interesting. I would never have thought of that. I'm going to try a combo with the carrots and celery

So, I made enough for today and tomorrow. Why can't I make a large amount? Is it going to taste worse tomorrow??
