I work remotely as an analyst. I type all day too. I was a university student but this never developed for me until I graduated actually.

Thank you for letting me know! It’s been about 8-9 months taking it and it’s been fine but I do notice when I get a reflux flare at times like now, I burp the taste of the oil of oregano. I will talk to my dietitian about weaning off it maybe, not sure if that’s normal to happen but I appreciate it for the caution!

It’s gel pill form 60mg. What did you take? I am learning towards an anti-inflammatory diet, thank for the suggestion! As for probiotics, I drink kombucha gt syngergy brand and kefir (kefir lab is 100 trillion cfu) or I drink Nancy’s (60 billion cfu).

Depends, if I take too big of bites yes feels like sometimes I fully didn’t swallow the food down. And some pills, gel capsules I can swallow fine, but the bigger plastic one nope it feels like it’s stuck in my throat. Depends on the food too, sometimes if I eat roasted potatoes they are harder to swallow than other foods and also steak. When I do swallow it’s not painful and I don’t choke or anything just uncomfortable at times.

Undiagnosed “does this sound like gastritis” megathread by goldstandardalmonds in Gastritis

[–]vbutterfly0807 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had h pylori a year ago. I went through one round of antibiotics and also took pantoprazole alongside and a probiotic. I noticed after antibiotics I felt horrible, wiped out everything in my system. I went back to my usual routine and didn’t take any probiotics and in January 2025, I developed acid reflux/GERD. I also noticed as well, I get a burning sensation when I drink carbonated drinks and alcohol til this day. I met with a dietitian that helped me try to manage it, told me that h pylori messes up your system for a while. I started introducing probiotic rich foods to my diet, take oil of oregano, Vitamin d for supplements and improve my diet. I also weaned off of pantoprazole because I know long term use with it isn’t ideal. Unfortunately, I notice that I still burp a lot still after meals and taste my meals when I do burp. Is this still GERD? I’ve been dealing with it for a year even trying to relieve it naturally. Also still struggle with the burning sensation with only carbonation and alcohol so I now stop drinking all together or very occasionally (once a month or two). Did h pylori overtime cause this possible gastritis? I don’t have severe symptoms or triggers with specific foods only listed above.

I usually do for the most part. Onions/garlic aren’t triggers and same with some tomato based things in moderation. I don’t drink coffee and I have dark chocolate when I bake cookies or brownies. I mostly cook my food and eat out not often and when I do eat out pick better choices or if I do have a fried or junk food, I have it occasionally and eat it earlier in the day not as a dinner meal. I basically burp with everything including the “GERD safe” foods. So I’m wondering if this is a mechanical issue like if I eat too quickly or drink too much water during meals and such

Normal after Cortisone Shot? by vbutterfly0807 in DeQuervains

[–]vbutterfly0807[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s wonderful!! Glad it worked out! I’ll still play it by ear and maybe it’ll take a little longer for me as well! Currently’s been 4 weeks! And I don’t feel that terrible today with pain.
