Lpr reflux surgical outcomes
Is reflux surgery - such as Stretta and endo Nissen - as effective in relieving symptoms - such as relieving laryngeal mucous and coughing - for those with lpr reflux as those with standard reflux? The reason I ask is that I decided to try taking a pepcid this morning as an experiment to see if it had any effe... 9 Aug 2006 22:17

Lansoprazole
I have always drunk quite heavily but recently I have quite bad abdominal pain after hitting it hard over the weekend. I suspect gastritis or an ulcer and OTC Zantac provided some relief but the doc prescribed lansoprazole.

Stretta procedure feedback
Hello- I'm 26 years old and have suffered from chronic GERD for the last 11 months. I am unable to tolerate any of the 5 PPI's, and H2 blockers do not provide sufficient relief, and tend to give me horrible side effects after about 10 days. I've undergone 24-hour PH testing, another test that measures LES pres... 5 Aug 2006 21:22

Esophagitis without reflux several years after LNF ?
Hi all, this a question for the Drs in the group. I had a Laparoscopic Nissen Fundoplication for a Hiatal Hernia 10 years ago.

Low Energy Level After Nissen Surgery
Hello Fellow Members: Its been (2) months since Nissen surgery and I feel like someone flipped off my energy switch and I'm running on a 1/4 tank of fuel. I have had all the blood tests and EKG tests. The only thing worth noting was that my Thyroid was 2 points low and then normal on the 2nd test. I have no feve... 27 Jun 2006 14:23

Pipida Scan
I've been having upper abdominal pain for the past 5 or 6 days in the middle and right side(basically where my gallbladder is located) that comes and goes, and last night, I could feel something spasming in there. The spasms lasted a few hours. (I still seem to have the chest pain/reflux under good control--unless ... 26 Apr 2006 08:20

frustrated sufferer
I've had persistent coughing and throat clearing for more than two years now. (It all started with a very bad cold.) I DO have GERD (Bravo proved that) but my GERD is not severe and my esophagus is not eroded. This leads me to believe that there is something else going on besides GERD. I'm on Nexium twice a day... 2 Jun 2006 19:17

Is there anything to the reflux remedy advertised here on google groups?
Whenever I search on google about acid reflux and GERD this ad keeps coming up for a "natural " way to treat acid reflux. Has anyone here actually tried this, bought the product, or know what it is?
