sphincter muscle I have read on boards where some people have reflux but their LES pressure measured out 'normal'. Can this be? Does this mean the LES is fine most of the time other than inappropriate relaxation? Does it mean their LES is only mildly demaged? Is this medically possible? And if so, what would be the reasons? ... 9 Nov 2005 20:56
Symptons? I will see my ENT in a couple of weeks to look over my 'sinus infection', but meanwhile I would like to gather info on possibly having GERD. I'm currently on Augmentin for the sinus infection. My post-nasal drip has decreased considerably, but I'm still very fatigued and have the most awful breath. Even after I ... 24 Oct 2005 15:35
Shoulder pain possibly related to Nissen and/or GERD? This is one for Howard, if he's still reading here: In 2001, I had a Nissen Fundoplication done, which resulted in the near elimination of my acid reflux discomfort, although I still take 20mg Prilosec 1x/day, and rarely have any gastrointestinal discomfort unless I badly abuse my stomach (large, repeated heavy m... 7 Oct 2005 20:27

Vomit-like feeling I was recently diagnosed with Haital hernia. I am not having any heartburns lately ( i am on Prevacid) But for last few days I am having a strange feeling - like I am going to vomit but I do't atually vomit.

Nissen Fundoplication Reverse Cannot find information on reversing this operation.I know that it physically CAN be done, but there is no information on the web discussing it. I had it done a little over a year ago, and am usually DYING of gas because of it. I can burp, just not very easy, and sometimes it won't come. Still have bad acid pai... 7 Oct 2005 20:27
Generic Prilosec OTC Does anyone know when a generic version of Prilosec OTC will be available? And what I mean by that is if I walk into Walmart, I want to be able to buy Walmart's store brand (Equate) of Prilosec. Walmart has their own brand of Xantac, and Pepcid but not Prilosec. ... 7 Oct 2005 20:27
Non-extended-release Prilosec I've been taking OTC Prilosec (10mg), which is an extended-release tablet. Since my doctor suggested increasing it to 20mg, I figured it would be more cost effective to get a prescription, so she wrote one for the generic version. The generic version (20mg) seems to be an ordinary capsule, not an extended-releas... 7 Oct 2005 20:27
was just prescribed Reglan -- concerned about safety Hi there, I was just prescribed Reglan. I haven't picked up the prescription yet, but I just started to read about it and I'm a little freaked out about the potential neurological side effects. That, coupled with its high cost, is making me hesitate... Are there any other promitility drugs out there that are s... 7 Oct 2005 20:27 |
