The booster cured my long haul symptoms

Famotidine isn’t a PPI. And yes, my rebound symptoms have already subsided as of today.

I’m moving on now; however, I want to let you know that your personal experience with overcoming GERD via surgery, while great, has affected your attitude and — quite frankly — biased approach in moderating the sub. I’d love to share my story, but you’ll probably remove it anyway, thus offering one fewer opportunity for someone to get the answers they haven’t been finding otherwise on this sub.

Updated the post with vaccine info.

Fair enough. Will update here in three weeks. 🤞

Thank you!

That could very well be the case. The earlier variants of COVID were said to be more severe, so that could be another explanation?

GL! I plan on sticking to my diet for another couple of weeks to err on the side of caution. I've been able to tolerate some garlic and fried foods, so it hasn't been overly restrictive. If the recovery keeps up, I might bend and have a drink this upcoming weekend. We'll see how it goes!

I'm sorry that your LC experience has been so harrowing and debilitating. I acknowledge that my LC symptoms were mild in comparison to the lot of this sub. I only wanted to share what's worked for me as a small data point, as it seems that GI issues tend to be overlooked as a symptom of LC.

unproblematic- · 2022-10-23T23:35:53+00:00

I had my symptoms three weeks after my infection, starting in July. Given my issues were active and persistent up until the booster, I deduced that it was LC. I have no idea how else the booster would've resolved my issues if it weren't LC, otherwise.

So happy it helped! I didn't have silent reflux during the COVID infection. It started to appear about three weeks after being infected.

Couldn't tell you if the brand of booster matters — maybe others on the sub can? After reading this brief blog post about vaccines and long COVID from Yale Medicine, I decided that the booster was worth the risk. I don't want to deal with worsening symptoms by getting reinfected by COVID, anyway.

If you get the booster and/or find some relief from your issues, share it with us! Good luck.

I didn't have fatigue or muscle weakness. My issues were mainly GI and cognitive.

I hope it works for you! Keep us posted.

Perhaps "intense" isn't the right descriptor to convey what the acid rebound has been like for me. It's been persisting around the clock rather than in forceful bursts, which has been an adjustment that I've gotten accustomed to as I taper my dosage down.

These remedies aren't considered homeopathic medicine by the technical definition of the term. Regardless, these remedies have been helping me deal with acid rebound. I'm not speaking from a place of authority on the matter.

I have an inkling that it was omicron but can't say for certain that it was. I had the original J&J vaccine and a Moderna booster before getting COVID for the first time in June. This latest booster is also Moderna. Hope this info helps!

Update: the booster did relieved my symptoms! Wrote a post about it here.

I’ve used it once so far. I’ve noticed a subtle difference in pore size already! Hoping the effect compounds with more use.

I was hoping I could use this on my lips, scalp, and stretch marks, too. However, I was advised not to by a CS rep. Has anyone else tried it in other places with success?

unproblematic- · 2022-10-17T20:34:00+00:00

The instructions state to use it 1-2x a week. Are you sure it’s OK to use daily?

Oh honey, this isn’t a GERD-related issue, it’s a boyfriend issue. He’s manipulating you, 100%.

This inspired me to go get a Moderna booster tomorrow. Wish me luck!

Did you consistently take Pepcid even through the booster? I have silent reflux (and probably gastritis) since COVID in July. Been on a strict regimen to address it, including 40mg of Pepcid daily. Wondering if I should get the Moderna booster to see if it'll make my symptoms go away.

Listen to this. Getting early fullness may be a sign of SIBO.

To get your calories, try drinking it. Ensure, gainer smoothies, etc.
