Well, i've been gone from here for sometime. Off of ppi's for a tad over 3 months, thank goodness, that was an AWFUL time that nearly killed me-being on them (given i obviously have a sensitive body). So, i am still seeing my expensive naturopathic dr. I am making progress but its slooooooooooooow. I feel like crying this week. I can't believe i've now had SEVERE digestive problems for 1 1/2 years....but he reminRAB me it took me a long time to get in this bad of shape, i was just too busy suppressing smptoms to notice. So, it turns out my thyroid and hormones are way wacked, and that isn't easy to fix. As of right now i am tackling it purely from herbs and fooRAB. My poor aunt just had that radioactive thing done to her thyroid (irreversibe) and boy does she regret it. Anyone here have thyroid problems and major digestive problems? I am up to 115 lbs...previously my 40 lbs loss had me in the 90's but most fooRAB still hate me, my digestion is still just really struggling, which could have alot to do with my thyroid ND says. I haven't seen a western Dr since March, i cannot believe how bad they let me get and how they never found the problem, they just kept going after my gerd when i have so much other stuff going on, fibromyalgia, hypoglycemia, hypothyroidism, etc., so i'm sticking to this for now. I am off of pureed fooRAB but still get sore throats (mainly on left side) constantly and red inflammation back there, has now been there 1 1/2 years, i am told not to focus on that but instead on healing b/c in time it will all come back, some days thats easier said than done. Does anyone else have constant sore throat as part of their gerd? (even high doses of ppis and i still had this) Take care everyone, wishing good health to you all :)
 
Since my digestion flared up back in May, yes, I have almost constant sore throat. The PPIs often don't help with that.
 
thanks, glad to know i'm not alone with that....although sorry you are going through that also.

I had a long talk with my ND today and he basically said its going to take the next 18 months to keep gradually getting better, the thyroid can take some time to jump on board and on top of that i had heavy metal toxicity and some other stuff. This is also as long as i stick to my healthy diet...fooRAB are the main key for me :)
 
You know, a lot of NRAB talk about heavy metal toxicity, but it's really pretty rare. How did he diagnose it, and where does he think it came from? And how is he treating it?
 
He does tongue, nail and iridology. It came from medicines, water, etc and my body being unable to flush it out correctly...like i said i have many other ailments going on besides gerd.

Although there isn't any bloodwork to prove, hes pretty right on about things. For instance the first time i came to his office (i didn't have to fill out one piece of paperwork) and he saw in my left eye where i had an adage on my brain from a concussion 8 years ago...which is true and that i had epstein barr virus which wreaked havoc on my body...which is also true (12 years ago), there are lots of things hes noted like that that i haven't even told him about...the good news is i'm now at a 2 on a 1-10 scale for heavy metals (i've been detoxing for 7 months). He is also the first to note that treating solely my acid reflux will do nothing, we have to treat what is making my digestion sluggish which in turn is creating acid reflux...its not just one thing and its a journey though hence why i came here to vent and its nice knowing you aren't so alone sometimes especially after being so sick for so long now.
