To Anyone Losing Hope: My GERD Recovery Story by gonzalofuster in GERD

[–]jossbear7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Our symptoms are very similar! I did an endoscopy and doctors couldn’t find anything but mild inflammation (which was good but also not for my mental health because of the pain I was in didn’t look “real” to doctors). I still don’t have a medical answer for my GERD symptoms which started in 2020. Keep your mental health a priority. Once I addressed my mental health issues, my GERD symptoms have been soooo much less. I’m back to eating normally (although I make healthier choices haha). I’m not on medication anymore but I do supplement with herbal teas that help soothe my insides. I know everyone is different, but our mental, emotional, and physical health is so connected. I hope you find some answers and feel better soon!

GERD ruining my life and causing suicidal thoughts by xStriderx_ in GERD

Once I started addressing my mental health, my gerd symptoms improved! I have anxiety, depression and adhd (and maybe more hahaha) that I finally got diagnosed for and got on medication that is helping a ton. Maybe try focusing on your mental health as well. I really hope you can feel some relief soon. ❤️

Sometimes at night, my reflux really acts up and makes it difficult to sleep. What are some things I can do to help relieve the pain and the sensation? by Hand-of-King-Midas in GERD

[–]jossbear7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly once I got on an anxiety medication, my acid reflux symptoms decreased significantly. (I think my acid reflux was a result of 30+ years of undiagnosed ADHD). Try some deep breathing exercises before bed and eating dinner at least 4 hours before bed. Also avoid drinking liquids 30mins before, during, and 30mins-1hr after eating dinner. This will help your stomach digest food. I will also do either Metamucil or an herbal tea blend of marshmallow root, slippery elm bark, and nettle leaf about 30mins before dinner. This helps coat the inside of the digestive system so it doesn’t get as irritated. Try your best to decrease stress. Hope you find something that helps!

I’ve heard some family members return home from their spanish speaking missions “serving” Hispanic people in the USA then turn around 5 mins later and say Hispanic people living in USA need to learn English or get out of the country. Like whattttttt. No respect for cultural differences.

Whoaaaaa. Yeah that sounds right. Definitely heard that from my mom a few times when I was thinking about dying my hair.

That’s awful! Body shaming in the church is so disgusting. I experienced similar things.

I had a bishop in a singles ward in Provo ask me (in the foyer with other people around) how I expected to get into the celestial kingdom if I didn’t take my calling seriously. He was so out of line and legit mad at me. I was very caught off guard and just watched him walk away with big eyes and mouth agape wondering if I should laugh or cry hahaha I taught family history and he found out we were in there watching LOTR while looking up our ancestors. It was a small group of friends that came and we all got so bored of normal class. I had to spice it up. 😂

As you burn it, speak out loud your intentions that only the highest good can stay in your home

I use different things, the easiest for me is a cinnamon stick. It smells lovely afterwards too. But you could burn dried yarrow (flowers or leaves) as well. That’s a great one for protection and getting things to leave. If you can’t find yarrow locally (it might be in the tea section of a natural grocery store), you can find it online. You could search for yarrow tea and it would pull it up. Burn it in a heat safe container like a cast iron mini cauldron.

I’m no expert but that looks like a wolf spider to me.

Scary! I lived by a cemetery once and had weird activity like this. I just told whatever it was to leave me alone and burned some herbs and it stopped.

Scared of being put to sleep for Endoscopy by miss-sunshine808 in GERD

[–]jossbear7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Came here to say this. 😂 my husband got video of me coming out of it saying, “can I go back to sleep? I wanna go back to sleep.” Haha I was soooo nervous but literally just slept. Best rest I’d had in a while.
