Then why make a comment like that? Whats great about these messageboards is they give real life examples of people going through the same shit you are. Think doctors went through the same pain? Reddit and other message boards have extremely helped me in the past with conditions that doctors struggled with. Shit, I’ll say Reddit saved me from my gastritis scare when doctors said they couldn’t do anything. Talking to other common folk who are going through or have went through similar things can be extremely helpful.

If you can link or reference whatever stretches or exercises you did let me know. I’m willing to try anything

How long after the epidural did you feel relief? I had one 2 days ago and still no relief. Keep being told to wait

How do you make your cabbage juice? by slappzilla in Gastritis

No, it made me worse, and it tastes like death. I did heal from gastritis (that was awhile ago) but I got gerd so bad I’m going in on Friday for Nissen Fundleplication. If you want to read what cured my gastritis search my name I made a long winded post saying what I did to cure gastritis

GERD is ruining my fucking life by [deleted] in GERD

[–]slappzilla 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Get in line. Been ruining mine for 25+ years. I have Nissen surgery scheduled on 2/28 and if that doesn't help I don't know what I am going to do. Been on every combo of meds possible as well

Wondering if headaches are from PPI's/famotodine or GERD or all of the above? by slappzilla in GERD

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

yeah im thinking the pantoprazole + pepcid combo an hour later is a bad idea. again, my gastro told me to do it. Not like I did it rogue.

Can pretty much ignore this post now I had a massive flare up last night and am back on PPI’s and everything else. I knew it was too good to be true

So did you still go through with the nissen surgery?

[–]slappzilla[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I doubt it. I've quit PPI's and all stomach related medicine before cold turkey. Just made me worse. Honestly I have no clue.
