Lets keep Dalia in our thoughts

[Dalia]

My doctor is rather incompetent so far, I will go to another doctor to get treated and avoid an ulcer.

 

[Hossfly]

I'm down to about 5 cigs per day too, Dalia. Quitting is extremely hard. I have tried many MANY times and always failed. But cutting back seems more doable.

Get better, dear. We all miss you.

I've been cutting back too. After having smoked for over 70 years I'm down to 15-20 a day.

 

[Hossfly]

Sounds like she has GERD. I do too. But, ginger gives me bad heartburn anyway. I keep a big stock of pepto bismol and mylanta handy. Best soother for stomach and intestines is bysmol. Hence...pepto bismol. Hate the liguid but the gummies are tasty!

Drinking a big jug of water if bad heartburn or stomach issues or even intestinal irritation helps too. Puts out the fire.

My 100% sure-fire remedy for stomach discomfort is Papaya enzyme tablets.

I was a heavy smoker too, started at 13 years old, incredible isn't it? All my friends in school smoked!

But now I don't smoke at all..... like 6 years...I can't believe myself LOL ....a little vaping now and then with no nicotine, that's that. Do not miss it.

It takes a lot of will power, that I must say.

I wound up in the hospital a few times thinking I was having a heart attack it hurt so bad. Its the stomach acid burning the hell out of the esophogus...which can lead to Barrett disease, which can be cancerous. So ya gotta put the fire out when it backs up from your stomach to the esophogus. And a coating to keep it from burning more. Bismol. I did alot of studying on GERD and that is the remedy. BUT..in the hospital they give you the GI Cocktail..which is mylanta and 2 other ingredients. Can't be bought OTC or even with a rx, BUT...a competent doc CAN give you an rx for the lidocaine..which is a numbing agent...and you can make your own cocktail.

GI Cocktail: Ingredients, Doses, Uses, Side Effects

A GI cocktail is used to treat indigestion and associated symptoms in hospital and emergency room settings. It consists of three main ingredients. Does a GI cocktail work and what are the side effects?

Now, when I get that horrible chest pain...I suck down a bottle of water, eat 3 pepto gummies followed by a shot of mylanta.

However, what is IN, must come OUT. Which means....get some books and baby wipes cuz yer gonna need those, lol.

Note: Stomach acid is stronger than battery acid. Gotta keep the flame out, so eat mild foods until its under better control.

My doctor is rather incompetent so far, I will go to another doctor to get treated and avoid an ulcer.

I had that ulcer a year ago because of GERD. He had me take Omeprazole for a year to lessen stomach acid.

I went in the day before Thanksgiving. He said the ulcer was gone, but he said I had "Barrett's Esophagus" and it is pre-cancerous, meaning it could return to normal or become cancerous.

He wants me to take Omeprazole (an over the counter stomach acid reducer) for the rest of my life.

Get a good doctor and listen to him/her.

BTW, I've been looking for Barrett. I'd be more than happy to return his esophagus

Omeprazole

Yeah. I was on that too, but it does a number on yer bones. Makes them weak. Right now I am on prilosec via rx. I take one every morning before breakfast but sometimes..I have to take another one at night. If push comes to shove, the Ombeprombe (thats what I call it, lol) will work too. Just not forever. On a month, off a month, etc.

Like I said...I studied all this shit for years because most docs just wanna hand ya pills instead of FIXING the problem. Leaky Gut is big factor too, although those I told about it laughed at me. Yogurt helps put the good stuff back in your belly. Or some other probiotic. More info here:

Seems an oxymoron, but apple cider vinegar is a benefit too. Just use a LITTLE BIT in your tea..makes it taste like a bit of lemon in there. Or in with some acid free juice..like banana or mango or strawberry. ACV is some really good stuff!

Just make sure its Braggs, cuz it has the "mother" in it. Foggy stuff. THAT is the magic, that foggy stuff swirling around in the cider.

Yea, that's a good number and doesn't seem so bad. Exactly how bad I don't know.

I have been smoking 5 cigarettes a day for quite a few years. A year ago I reduced it to 4 1/2 a day on average. I don't want to go lower than that and don't think I ever will.

Hello everyone, and thank you Gracie for the links but again it is my pharmacist who still helped me more than my doctor according to him with all the symptoms I give him, I would suffer from aerophagy? Especially in the morning, I have a little nausea and I can’t release the air in my belly it is stuck and it’s painful.
Since the beginning, I’ve had a lot of pain from the medication but now it’s these kinds of symptoms that are ruining my life every day.
I take a little coca cola that releases a little and my doctor is really incompetent she knew about all my symptoms since the beginning of my digestif problem and she never give me the right medecation it got worse and she is the cause of all that for most part and I went to see a specialist in October to try to have help she did an exam with the camera in my body to see the organs , She couldn’t find anything, and she wanted to put a tube in my throat for 24 hours to see the acidity levels.
All this makes me nervous so I smoke more for my part @QuickHitCurepon
than I would like and + we can no longer move as we would and the white plan for the hospital are triggered in my area.

Bonjour Dalia,
Dans doubte, aerophagia would improve if you quit smoking.

It’s a common problem. Most doctors are incompetent or compromised by the establishment including big pharma.

Death by doctor is said to be the third highest cause of death in the US but instead of doing something about this, the powers-that-be impose draconian measures because of a virus that 99.5% of people infected recover from completely.

Hello badger2, for my part I feel better since I smoke again before it was hell.
I don’t understand what you’re asking ?

Hello gipper, it is not normal that some people are not properly treated by their family doctor .

I haven’t been to see her for a long time and I haven’t had another doctor because they don’t take patients anymore.

I’m asking for help from my pharmacist for now.

I used to have acid reflux pretty bad. I finally narrowed it down to being lactose intolerant and switched to almond milk. Went away overnight.

My experience is that MD's are pretty much useless when it comes to dietary issues.

 

[Deplorable Yankee]

If I was religious and believed in a higher power I would have had the thread title state LETS PRAY FOR DALIA but sense I dont I am keeping her in my thoughts and wishing nothing but the best for her keeping my fingers crossed she is okay.For all the people that are religious then pray for her.

I fear that is not the case though that she is okay,that she might have been jailed by the gestapo police in France where she lives because as some of you already know, they are force vaccinatiing people there as they are in Austraila and Israel.

,you cannot go anywhere in public there if you dont have a vaccine passport. Dalia has not been here in over a month and i have not heard from her in PM messages which she always returned.

She never stayed off the site more than a few days,never being gone longer than a week so I fear something has happened to her there,that she is in police custody or something,she never would have taken the vaccine. I am so very sorry if that is the case and I hope I am wrong that we will hear from her soon but its not looking good right now.she was about the most nicest person i ever met at here right up there with Lucy and TinyDancer so this is very sad

Where is our French flower
Her threads were always great

Hopefully the African or middle eastern scum that's invaded France didn't get her

 

[Deplorable Yankee]

Never mind there she is ...

As I read the thread title, sorry to hear you died, but glad to hear you've recovered and are on the mend.

I'm glad that your are better if you’ve been able to fix your stomach problems my little sister had stomach aches and gastric problems while not knowing the reason she was allergic to gluten between the fact that some doctors do not treat us and now more or less harmful ingredients that can be found in the food we should check everything.
Here in France with regard to gluten it is not really indicate on the purchase.
