Really getting fed up

[neddyflanders]

I've tried just about everything. All the things listed, yes apple cider vinegar, pineapple, PPI's blah blah blah. Nothing works. It gets better then it gets worse. Entire summer really good, fall really bad. Right now my mouth is burning. Made the mistake of eating pizza and not washing it down with anything, now I have mouth on fire that won't go away. I'm sick of this. I can figure out anything but I've tried almost everything. If this keeps up I may end up going back to a doctor and we all know how desperate you have to be to go to a doctor. They don't listen to you and then they throw PPI's at you that don't work any better then any of the other crap you've taken (DGL, ACV etc. etc.). It almost feels hopeless. And what kills me is I have a friend that had the same thing, his started close to the same time as me, his went away 4 months ago and he is now eating like a pig. No symptoms at all. Booze, pizza, hot wings you name it he eats it. It really pisses me off. Sorry for the choice of words, just mad as hell.

Hey, I feel for you! Ive been MISERABLE the last 5 to 6 months. Ive gone to the gastro a whole bunch of times, to the ENT a bunch of times, and have had my medicine changed and increased at each and every visit. Tests and results and more tests and results. Neither doctor knows why I still suffer so they bounce me around. The Gastro says: Go to the ENT it's all in your throat, the ENT says: Go to the Gastro it is where it starts...and meanwhile NONE of them are helping and I continue to pop pills that are NOT helping and continue to suffer with no help in sight. So I understand how you feel, and on top of all this I have to be careful NOT to be upset and NOT to eat the wrong stuff! Grrr!! Enough to make you scream which of course is something I can't do though because my throat would croak.

So...Yes, a lot of us have tried everything and are at our wits end. I'm drinking oil! How desperate?? BUT...it is working. Fingers crossed.

Cheer up.

I understand exactly how you feel. I've finally given in and been on the purple pill for a month. Don't really think it has helped but decided I would give it a fair shake for a few months. Now the docs wanting to check out the gallblader I'm not sure what's next after we confirm that the gallblader is fine.

I'm going to get allergy testing done. I know milk really seems to bother me so I want to see if there is anything there. Otherwise I'm out of suggestions. Not sure what to do anymore, I've tried just about everything.

when mine gets to the point of throwing up, I just mix a couple grams of baking soda with 8ozs of H2O. Down it right after mixing. You will be belching and bloated a bit after, but the burn is usually gone.

Good Luck
