Continual stomach/oesophagus issues....
Posted , 6 users are following.
Hi there, I was wondering if anyone has had/has the below symptoms:
* loss of appetite/ no hunger
* feeling of lump in throat - mainly after eating
* bloating - sometimes a burning sensation in tummy
* fullness quickly
* general feeling of overall discomfort which makes me feel sluggish
I definitely know I can't tolerate too much wheat well nor alcohol. I've had than endoscopy/colonoscopy and it came back with "gastritis". I've been on nexium 40mg and somac 40mg but doesnt seem to be helping so I dont think its reflux issue. I've now been seeing a naturopath and taking some herbal mixtures which has helped with the bloating on some days. I know diet definitely makes a difference but I feel I've not got to the root of the problem. This has been going on for about a year now and of course I am worried given it hasn't cleared itself.
Has anyone experienced the same thing or have any suggestions? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

I have had the symptoms you mentioned last year was the worst. I thougth this is part of the aging process I'm experienceing now. I'm 46 women. If you are like my age and gender, this could be part of meno or peri changes.. To me I've had lemon water in the morning starting from last year and this seems to be helping a lot to ease these symptoms. Take care

I have had and sometimes still get the same symptoms. I got stool tests done privately which showed Dysbiosis. I had yeast overgrowth and bacterial imbalance and parasites. I'm sure it was due to having taken lots of rounds of antibiotics (which kill off good and bad bacteria) and eating a very sugary diet for a while plus alcohol (again which feed bad bacteria and yeast) I also got food poisoning and a chest infection a few months before this all happened and my immune system just went to pieces. I like you had to know the root cause to be able to mentally get around it, although many people don't bother to do the tests and just get treatment which I'm sure would still be beneficial too but there is obviously a bit of guesswork.

I'm with you regarding remaining social and positive , you can't really eat very well at parties or get together, nor you don't want to explain to everyone your health issues, if you know what i mean, you are surrounded by people celebrating having fun and here you are thinking about what might trigger the problem if you eat .sometimes i don't want to socialize anymore.hope you are ok .take care for now.
