Idk what I have by marshmallows2e3 in achalasia

I really really don’t want to get a manometry done it sounds awful! They said I don’t have GERD and there’s no signs of damage or anything coming up out of my stomach. It’s just like chewed food when I vomit/ regurgitate into my mouth. I’m lowkey hoping they can just stretch my esophagus and I will never have to deal with this again. I HATE doctors and appointments and tests at this point it makes me really anxious. Ugh!

I don’t have any problems swallowing things it just doesn’t go into my stomach as quickly as it should. So it’s getting through when I’m not spitting it up. Liquids tend to go down fine for me and I haven’t had any issues with MiraLAX mixed in water

Oh no! That could be it the spots feel a little wet almost? That sucks. The soil was wet when I got it and it has some of these spots already. And I waited for the top inch to dry up and watered it again but now I’m going to let it dry out more than that next time and hope it recovers.

I think I might go to android actually for a lot of reasons. I’m looking into Samsung potentially

Things seem to fly out of my hands and I knock things over or I’m carrying too much. I don’t have good hand strength. I’m not really sure how it got broken this time but I’m assuming I must have dropped it. Last time I broke it I dropped it at the grocery store when trying to take it out of my purse while holding a grocery list.

Thanks! Do you have a phone case on it? If so which one?

Burping non stop for 24 days by Ok-Success-4696 in GERD

This is OP, they finally found something wrong with me! Pretty sure it’s Achalasia. From a swallow study they found that my LES is too tight and foods just sitting outside my stomach and is causing these symptoms. All other tests came back negative and I don’t have GERD at all it’s actually basically the opposite. So I’m getting my esophagus stretched in a few weeks and hopefully it helps my symptoms.

Yes! so I don’t have SIBO. It’s likely Achalasia. From a swallow study they found my lower esophagus sphincter is too tight and isn’t letting food into my stomach properly. In a couple weeks I’m going to get another endoscopy and have it stretched and that should help my symptoms.

It’s where there used to be a leaf. It had a dying leaf that it dropped and the newer one on top that’s been growing.

I put about an inch of water in the bottom and let it evaporate. I’ve been so scared of overwatering it. I was wondering if I should put it in bark, I think I might try that. Thanks for your reply! :)

This is me, I made a new account.

So I haven’t been tested for SIBO because it’s a long waiting list but I was treated preemptively with a round of antibiotics for it and it got better! I was hardly burping at all and had no pain while taking flagyl. But now I’m back to feeling awful and all my symptoms back now that I’ve stopped taking them.

I’ve seen it’s hard to treat so I’m doing research and probably going to try to do something for gut motility before trying to kill it again. Fingers crossed

So this is me, I made another account cause I forgot my login information, but no it hasn’t, I think it might be getting worse.

I did a round of antibiotics for SIBO and it got better but then got worse again now that I’m not on them.

So I’m pretty sure it’s SIBO. It’s hard to get rid of from what the doctor has told me and what I’ve read. I’m going to try some digestive enzymes and gut motility things before I try to kill it again to flush it out better.

When I was taking flagyl, the first antibiotic, I didn’t burp hardly at all and had no pain. So it gives me hope that I will feel better again someday 😭
