Diag. with Gerd and a candidate for Lynx....After complete healing do you always have to eat very slowly?? Thanks

Plz send me whatapp link

Hello Mr.Cooper,, i was discussing it yesterday with a pharmacist after discussing it with my gastroenterologist that i take PPIs 40Mg like 3-4 times a week and with the correct diet it seems i 'm fine. The pharmacist though told me that i should not take PPIs like that 3-4 times a week because they do not work how they should. I should take them like for a few months and the stop for couple of weeks. My gastroenterologist told me it was fine to take them 3-4 times a week to avoid any potential side effect in the LT. However, the pharmacist told me is completely wrong taking PPIs that way. Any idea which one is the correct way of taking PPIs? Also, told me that taking gaviscon double action daily is going to destroy my stomach lining in the long term is that true too?

Are these “symptoms” very suspicious of this? very gradually get a lump in the throat feeling with a bit of tightness there come on and linger for a couple hours after I eat something then usually stops, but then will come back on without anything some other time, doesn’t affect my breathing at all though, sometimes the tightness discomfort it makes it harder to sleep though when it happening at night

It's been 3years and I still can't swallow any good food, but chocolate, milk, but countless times choking kinda feeling with solids.. I would literally do horrible things to be able to have a greasy a&w grandpa-onionsx2... But I'm LAZY to change eating and liquid beverages... Basically living on ice cream and milk for 3 years 90% of the time, which is the worse for my stomach and I lay on my stomach to sleep but not much gerd symptoms.. My god the depression I get from this gerd 👌 👏 first 2 years..... Anyways I need saving lol...

Thank you so much for this explanation. Im new in this journey and trying to understand how to help myself.

Just had my Colonoscopy 7-2-24 Tips: *Drink your prep solution over ICE *Use a straw You can have gummy bears ( REMOVE ALL RED/BLUE ONES .They may mistaken as blood) OR Sour Lemon drops. * The prep solution is salty tasting so this counter acts it. Just pop one in your mouth, and drink at a good pace- it’s not a race! * ALOE wipes NOT TOILET PAPER!!! * Preparation H *vaseline * Depends - Added security. Follow ALL Instruction’s without adding or taking away Good Luck 😊

Thanks to alternative treatment & glUten free diet tips that cured my chronic Acid reflux symptoms & bad breath smell from stomach completely on Dr OHANON🌿🌿🌿

Thank you and God bless you for removing my persistent bad breth from stomach when taking & Gerd/Acid reflux symptoms completely when I came across Dr.Ohanon🍓🍓

Thank you for your kindness ! It has been a trial after my gall bladder taken out two and a half years ago! Now I have been diagnosed with severe diverticulitis! Not fun! Some days many trips to the bathroom gawd awful pain and so much gas! My stool full of mucous!!! I may have surgery very soon!

My specialist believes I have a mild case and I get a vapour aspiration type reflux into my Sinus, no regurgitation problems or heartburn but wake in the middle of the night with lower abdominal pain that radiates to my back, I've tried erythromycin, made me sick, prucalopride, worked for bowel movements but lost weight tried anti depressant drugs ginger and artichoke as well, I can still eat and don't get nausea or vomit but can't seem to shake my other symtoms

Thank you for this! I have been having digestive issues for a while now and I think it’s because I don’t eat enough fiber.

Just had my first today; while it's not pleasant the Nurses are excellent and will put you at ease and it's a breeze if no inflammation or obvious problems ... please don't worry! No pain relief needed as it's a simple test, but they can give gas & air or sedation if you do want this x

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that 15% of adults in the United States have CKD. A 2016 cohort study linked PPI use with a 20% to 50% higher risk of CKD.

I have it now, ugh I started feeling sick when I was given a new medication for cholesterol. I believe that was the cause anyone can tell me if I'm right🤔

PPI's also damage kidneys.

One Pantaprazole does me for 3 days. I've tried the ACV, Aloe, Slippery elm and Betaine HCL without any luck. I was scoped about 5 years ago and the diagnosis was mild. Geez I'd hate to expeience severe if only mild hurts this much. It's not so much reflux as it is just the burning feeling.

I have taken PPI for 12 days. I have felt tired, brain fog, joint pain. I decided not to take them. my symptom is only reflux, and this is not worth it. But I need to know. Is the PPI inhibiting cognition permanent damage? I'm scared. and alone. please let me know.

I have had 3 colonoscopy’s in the last 3 months. First one was my first ever. They found 2 small polyps and a “flat polyp 20mm wide”! Since my first colonoscopy was in the “dr.office” building they would not remove the flat polyp there. They wanted me in the hospital in case anything went wrong. Guess the flat polyp removal isn’t as worry free as a regular polyp removal. So i went to hospital for flat polyp removal. I had to drink the gallon of golyte half at 5pm the night before and the other half was to be finished “AT LEAST” 3 hours prior to my colonoscopy. I’m highlighting the “at least” because I finished my 2nd half at exactly 3 hours before my appointment time. I aspirated on the table….apparently not all the golyte had gotten through my system and I vomited on the table while asleep. They had to cram something down my throat to open my airways. I guess my breathing came back ok …but whatever they crammed down my throat made me cough continuously. They had to call my flat polyp removal off and reschedule. If you can imagine the pure hell of 3 colonoscopy’s in 3 months!!! Today I did things a little different. I drank 16 ounces extra of that mess in the first dose the night before….leaving me only 48 ounces for the second half. I also left 5.5 hours of time before my last drink of prep or any other fluids so I was sure to have no fluids left to vomit. It worked….today I got my flat polyp removed and I cannot tell you the relief. Want to express the importance of finishing your prep…..the flat polyp may not have been discovered had I not been so cleaned out. It takes a trained eye to find it….but even a trained eye can’t see through poop! And a big FYI…..the prep is 100 times worse than the actual colonoscopy. The colonoscopy was a great nap and I truly worried for nothing! It’s the prep that’s so dreadful! P.s…my first 2 colonoscopies were at 7:30 in the morning. So if you can imagine getting up at like 2am to drink my second half of prep…..be sure to imagine it miserable…because it was. I think a lot of people have this “get it out of the way early” thought process. After 3 preps I can testify a big fat “NO” to that. Afternoon is so much more relaxed. My 3rd colonoscopy was at 2:15 pm. I did my night before at 5pm like usual…..but I was able to go to sleep….sleep a full night of sleep….started my second half at 7:15 am to 9:15 am. Left me several hours to finish cleaning out, take a shower, get dressed, and had no stress time wise. Will do afternoon appointment next time as well.

Where are you located?

So glad to finally have a diagnosis. So many times I’ve stopped eating and just stared off hoping for the pain and sensation to end. Can’t speak during these episodes, so the best I can do is give a thumbs up to reassure those around me I’m alright. The pain is horrible, can’t even swallow saliva, and the choking sensation is terrifying. Diaphragm spasms, neck aches. What sucks is I’m an athlete, so I need those high proteins and sometimes run into a trigger food! Finally said enough when I had an episode so bad I actually stopped breathing. It was nothing more than chicken broth, and just a spoonful…. Thankfully I had an endoscopy and I believe my eosinophils were around… 26? I think? High. My esophagus was constantly inflammed, to the point where a swallow study pill couldn’t pass by without pain. Anyway I was prescribed a PPI and that has helped so so much! Life is back to normal - in fact, it’s better than what used to be normal ☺️

I disagree with this guy. My aunt left hers alone, and developed an abcess and needed dead bowel removed.

When I squeeze my chest inside outside then I feel pain in my oesophagus ! And I feeling upper back pain right hand back ! Should I go for endoscopy

Thank you for your information

We need a more timely video that addresses the burgeoning problem with gastroparesis that can result after taking weight management drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy.

Can we just take B12, magnisium, Vitamin D and calcium along with PPIs to avoid these risks? or is not working like that?

My colonoscopy showed nothing but I still have heavy bleeding.

Had an attack of Diverticulitis out of the blue, was sent home with antibiotics, a follow up CT scan 1 month later showed an abscess that they couldn't drain, bowel perforation, large local lymph nodes and fat stranding. The doctor said to let nature take its course and wanted to wait for swelling to go down before I had a colonoscopy. Never had a normal bowel motion since, have passed blood, blood clots, mucus and mucosy poop. Now am feeling better other than constant soft stool sometimes with mucus or blood and another month on another CT now shows I have adhesions to the bladder and womb, an ovarian abcess and a bowel to bladder fistula, have a sigmoidoscopy tomorrow as they suspect a tumor, am scared, doctor keeps telling me im young to have this gone from mild to very complicated.

But this surgeon my surgeon fixed mine I was healed Then after a year it came loose Soon after that my esophagus bleed 🩸 Then procedure after procedure tests after tests Went to doctor thamert who has done a thousand of the surgeries When I went to him thought he would rewrap it He rejected 🙅🏻 it no surgery But will Michael need surgery in the future Yes But by the time they want to do it no surgery out of discussion He is going to wait to were it is impossible and surgery will not help

The surgeon back in Missouri said if meds help them surgery will help But meds don’t help then surgery is not a option

It’s like everything I do it just gets worse like what are you doing? Nothing works.

This condition gives me problems going to the bathroom

Maybe, I’ve got the worst diet. I don’t know.

Oh, I cannot hardly breathe. I wish it was rare for me, but oh my God can I not do the things I used to do and it sucks. I think it’s life-threatening now. Maybe it’s too late. Maybe I should give up

I feel like surgery is gonna be the only way because I’ve tried so many things and nothing works. It’s depressing.

I’m skinny as a toothpick and I small amount and still I get the symptoms

Are used to not have hardly any problems but now it’s like I don’t know. It’s like this stuff is killing me and no matter what I do it just hurts. It makes me pissed.

Thank you soo much for advice very hepfull and reassuring

Bottom line - colonoscopies don’t prevent colon cancer just as mammograms don’t prevent breast cancer. It is a tool to catch growth early to help catch and stop it early when it is more manageably treated.

My brother is allergic to all meats, his nose begins to drip uncontrollably and also a lot of sneezing. The weird thing is that when he goes back home to South America (we live in the US) he has no symptoms if he consumes meat. Is it because the meat was not expose to alpha gab, or is his allergy related to something else?

I was diagnosed yesterday and now I'm in the process of determining the cause.

I take apple cider vinegar capsules and super enzymes after every meal and it has helped immensely.

This is really helpful Mark. My gastro consultant referred me for surgery so on a waiting list. My GP is really against me having the surgery as he says he sees patients the other end and there are risks but also most he sees are unable to vomit or burp which causes other problems? On a background of anxiety this has caused me alot of worry. Not sure where to turn as I have just turned 29 and the consultant said best to get it done now while I am young but don’t feel able to make a decision, any advice?

Very educational video! Your comment about the increasing numbers is spot on. My wife has EoE and was not diagnosed until 17 years old. She had many symptoms her entire childhood but it just wasn't caught. Thanks for spreading awareness!

Ascites can occur alone or as a complication of chronic liver diseases like cirrhosis. I prescribe my patients Planet Aurveda’s Indian Echinacea, Phyllanthus niruri, Yakrit Plihantak Churna, and liver detox capsules to my patients

Colonoscopy two weeks ago. 1 x 10mm polyp removed. Get checked people. Absolutely no one needs to die from bowel cancer.

Can eating eating a lot of fruit cause gas and looser stools?

This releved a lot of stress. Thanks. Finally answers that make sens

Screening had 4 polyps took 3 off fine then went back for last one perforated they said they didnt know cat scan found it

Never again they perforated my bowel
