HI...i m new to this page...want to know if anyone completely cured their reflux...if u are healed, what all did u do...i am desperate

Hi John ,Just wondering if you still visit this forum?

Hi John

do you drink off the one bottle all day or do you drink 3 bottles a day.

do you drink right before bed or just try to burp before bed?

I have been struggling with this for about 10 months now, i read

your post last night i just need a little clarification.

also do you just use baking soda in the water before bed or do you buy something

different.

thank you.

I would of said breathing exercises which defines what you said.

Hi John,

this method sounds very interesting, i was under the impression that carbonated water would make reflux worse by putting pressure on the LES allowing more reflux? so by holding the burp it sort of helps train the valve.

Just wanted to ask, do you still do this? how quick did you start to feel better? and ive tried holding a burp and i feel pressure and then it sort of disappears and then i burp out later, is this the correct way to do it. i think i had too much sparkling water as my reflux is playing up.

Hi, thank you for sharing this. I'm not quite sure how to hold in a burp, to be honest. I feel once I feel the burp, it's already in my esophagus and I can only hold it back from coming out. I don't know how to hold it in the stomach before it goes through the LES. Can you share what you do? tensing the diaphragm, or something else? thank you very much.

Hi John and all,

All my support to all suffers here and apologize for the long this intro text.

I'm portuguese (sorry for my english), 44 and I have been fit and going to gym 3-4 times a week doing only cardio and "soft weights". From mid-2018 till ~ March 2020, due to job and personal issues I let myself go into a sedentary lifestyle, lots of chocolate and fat food, coke, especially at night before sleep. Continuously…. Fatally, the effects started to appear.

Mar.2020

• the first and most terrible episode with nausea and vomit sensation, burping a lot and with terrifying palpitations. I felt I was having a heart attack. Thought it was something cardiac related. I really thought I was dying.

After that, 5 similar events, "emergency visits", several ECGs, all medical tests ok, etc, etc. And the hilarious anxiety-diagnostic.

Summarizing, from Mar.2020 to May 2021,

• 3 gastroenterologists, 2 different “familiy” doctors….always saying Anxiety, the cause.
• Sertraline treatment…. that I have canceled meanwhile
• Innocuous esomeprazol treatment
• Chest X-Ray: small gastric trans-hiatal herniary “delineation”
• Contrast barium swallow: No concrete evidence of gastric trans-hiatal hernia ; discrete reflux (last 2 cm of esophagus)
• Abdominal ultrassound: Nothing abnormal reported for liver, gallbladder, spleen, and pancreas.
• Hematology, Chemical Pathology and Immunology analyses: all ok

At end of April the mentioned symptoms reappeared but as constant:

• a lot of gas going up
• burping a lot (a second residual burp as a final vortex) and repeatedly when moving or bending over
• waking up with bad taste in the mouth, sometimes with “green” mucus, tired and fatigated
• nausea, dizziness when sitting but both sensations seem to be diluted when standing up or walking. I couldn't work….
• I just can sleep seated!! nausea, dizziness when lying down even elevating head of bed using wooden blocks under the bedposts but both symptoms were diluted when standing up or walking
• No burning
• No regurgitation, no vomit

Meanwhile in May-June:

• Endoscopy: No evidence of gastric trans-hiatal hernia ; gastritis reported ; gastric mucosa positive to Pylori
• Pylera + Esomeprazol, standard treatment 10 days (horrible….I had to take Xanax to calm me down somedays)

I have finished Pylera yesterday, now I’m waiting 15 days to do the breath test.

This is an endless nightmare. I just can’t live like this.

Even after Pylera treatment I’m still having the same critical and scary symptoms:

• gas and gas and gas going up when sitting or lying down
• a duet of Esophageal SPASMS-dizziness when sitting or lying down (even taking Librax) which are "dissipated" when standing up and walking. Symptoms intensity seems dependent on how much I eat. Also tingling sensations in hands
• lump feeling in throat and loose feeling in esophagus-stomach when bending or gently running
• feeling of slight palpitations always present, more evident when sitting and lying down
• feeling of head getting hot like fever appearing when sitting (can this be acid vapors?!)
• discontinuous small “beats” in right ear appearing when sitting
• residual mucus appearing when sitting
• No burning
• No regurgitation, no vomit

I’m having all possible care with food discipline and following GERD diet.

I’m assuming this can be only related with

• the small herniary delineation? But how Endo and Radio tests failed to "catch" it??
• LES incompetence (assuming this as irreversible)

  I’ll be with my new gastro next week but should I give carbonated water treatment a try? Any other specific alternative suggestions? Greatly appreciated.

I’m desperate. I'm "only" seeing surgery as way to "solve" this....?!

Hope the best recovery to all of you that suffers from this unbelievable disease or related.
