You're welcome Rose. If you're still having problems, maybe you could benefit by doing as the pharmD recommenRAB. But of course that means starting on the PPI again. I wish you the best. Jonstar, I'm very glad for you. It would be great if we could all be so blessed. Blessing, Annie

Thank you for replying Marigold. You are very young to be going through these problems. I hope you are able to get relief from the naturpath. May I ask how the PPIs made your condition worse? This is fairly new to me and I'm trying to learn from people who have experience taking them and...

Would you please tell me what DGL is? I'm on Nexium and would love to stop taking it. Thank you kindly, Annie

Miss Jen, Have you been checked for gastrointestinal problems? You have symptoms which can stem from several issues. Besides the heart issue, there is anxiety, fibromyalgia, gall bladder, and more. If you've worn a Holter monitor and all appears well, I wouldn't be too concerned about the...

I was on Zegerid 40mg daily from Feb to July. I took Mylanta when I felt a bit of indigestion. When I was/am nauseated, I grab a Brach's Peppermint candy and it works for me. I understand some people can't tolerate peppermint. Regarding diet, I eat pretty much everything except fat. I...

Hi PD, I'm so glad you updated us! Thank you. I don't know your age but I think you are fairly young. Stop worrying so much! :) Your ultra sound was normal which means your gall bladder, etc., is normal and the gastroscope was normal also. That's GREAT! Your symptoms started 20 days ago...

In July if my GI tells me I have to continue on Zegerid or Nexium, I'll ask him about Prilosec OTC. I asked the pharmacist why prescribe Zegerid. His rely was that the sodium bicarbonate Keeps the omeprazole from breaking down. Whatever that means. Today I am not taking either one to...

I've been taking Zegerid 40mg once daily for three months. The ONLY reason I agreed to take this medicine is because I have gastric ulcers. I also have a tiny hiatal hernia, acid reflux, GERD, the whole nine yarRAB. But like I said, I'm only on a PPI due to the ulcers. If I didn't have...

I wouldn't worry purity dee. These are all symptoms of acid reflux. Blessings, Annie

Rose, Your reply is very much appreciated. I'm 67 and was on HRT for 28 years. I stopped it in Feb this year. All hel* broke loose in my stomach right after. I had no idea how intense hot flashes were! I was on HRT as soon as my hysterectomy was performed so I never experienced any side...

I was on Zegerid (PPI) 40mg once daily for four months. I had intentions of going to Prilosec and gradually taper off but my GI told me to take Pepcid Complete (40mg AM & 20mg PM) instead. My ulcers healed up on the PPI and hopefully the Pepcid will prevent their return. I experienced a lot...

I stopped taking estrogen and the hot flashes started. Next came the acid reflux and very painful stomach which finally sent me to the GI doc. He did an ab ultasound, all well there and then a gastroscope. He found stomach ulcers and inflammation and also a small hiatel hernia. My esophagus...

I asked a pharmacist how do I get off the PPI, Zegerid, without rebounding. He told me that if one remains on a PPI for more than two months, they will usually have heartburn symptoms, a relapse of GERD/acid reflux when getting off the PPI. He advises tapering off by getting PPI pills such...

I wrote this in an above post, "He advises tapering off by getting PPI pills such as Prilosec which can be cut. Start by cutting the tablets in half and take half of a tablet every day for 2 weeks, then try half of a tablet every other day for at least 2 weeks. Also take famotidine (Pepcid)...

Hi PD, Like dcguy said, we all tend to think we have cancer or heart problems! So don't worry and you'll be fine! I am going for my second esophagus dilation/endoscopy results tomorrow. I had my first endoscopy in March. I was diagnosed with moderate acid reflux, inflammation and a...

Hands are full of germs. We are taught to roll the floss around our fingers. Aren't we introducing bacteria into the gums from our hands...and sometimes our gums bleed.

what are my options.

yes take her...appendicitis does not always just show by having pain in the appendix area...sometimes it is chest pain, even, especially in a child...mine was in the area of the liver.
