how serious is an h. pylori infection? Seems like not a big deal from the reading I've done. They took biopsies to test for that during this mornings endoscopy and I'm really hoping for a simple easily fixable solution as to why I have acid reflux that stopped responding properly to PPIs.
Well that's not exactly what I wanted to hear but it beats trying to piece together information from web searches into an accurate picture. I suppose after seeing your answer I'd prefer it wasn't that, although that would leave it a complete mystery as to why omeprazole stopped working (and pantaprazole never worked at all).
Maybe there's some potential to take a look at your gut micro biome ? I wonder if all the meds you've been on to treat the other stuff you've been going through has fucked your shit up.
My scar/incision is just starting look "good?" I am right at the 4 month mark.
Have you done any reading on Gastroparesis? Assuming it is not something more easily explained like dehydration or acid reflux, I would look into Gastroparesis. No I am not a Doctor, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn once in 2009.
No, I haven't been on any of that type of stuff in a few years. The last medication I was taking was gabapentin for nerve pain and I don't even have that anymore.
Thanks, I'll definitely check that out. I'm just trying to figure out what the issue is without necessarily having to go to the goddamn doctor. I just aren't cooking anything right now other than stupid simple plan foods thinking that maybe it was my diet but I don't think that's the case. Just never experienced anything like it in my life. Try to do a bunch of Googleing, and it's kind of hit and miss.
I don't even know what a gallbladder issue might be. Like I said I've never had anything like this in my entire life, and I'm normally very healthy, we don't eat a lot of processed stuff, only thing we do is enjoy our cocktails on the weekends but not a daily deal.
Time to science that bitch up. This sounds like maybe a mild allergy, or maybe you are just getting old and can't process things the way you used to. Rotate through the food groups and just stop one for 2-3 days and see if you feel any better. Start exercising more as well.
Tried a variety of different things. I guess our routine is typically whatever type of cuisine whether it be Asian, Mediterranean, American, Mexican etc. and very rarely have processed foods, other than some egg rolls and stuff from trader Joe's. All of our meals are home made. I love my vegetables, and enjoy good solid protein. Go look at the cooking thread. I might not plate the stuff up properly, but it's wholesome healthy meals.
Doctor can give you an allergy panel. But you can still try to suss it out yourself. Stop meat for a few days. Stop dairy for a few days. Stop frying foods for a few days. Etc.
That's pretty much what I've done. My wife is pretty Keen on that sort of dietary stuff, we've been waiting out certain things just to see what might be the problem. Only protein I'm really been eating lately has been just white meat chicken, lots of vegetables, which isn't anything out of the ordinary, but for a couple of weeks I've just been having like salad, contact cucumbers things like that. Eating avocado for healthy fats, taken on my vitamins stuff.
