Hi all.
Im gonna sound wingey.
Im two days away from PH and Manometry. I can only have gaviscon today and nothing tomorrow.
Im a bit anxious as dont wish to get bad again as I can already feel I didnt have meds this morning.
How did u cope with it?
I know it needs to be done and its important.

Hi Katerina
Don't worry, you will be fine, I had it done last June, I felt great for a couple of months after coming off ppi, but now I'm back suffering again, good luck

I managed it ok. I didnt gagged at all.
Now sitting at home with the PH probe down me stuffing my face.

Well done, the worst is over, you will feel a huge sense of relief tomorrow when they take out the tube, you won't feel a thing

I'm in same situation having mine next Wednesday so have to stop Nexium Friday and then Gaviscon on Sunday. I'm just gonna stick to food that I know don't cause too much damage or problems.
Over and done that's what I want.
Had my endoscopy 2 weeks ago and that was pretty unpleasant especially as I decided to brave it without sedation, wouldn't again though!

I knew id be ill if i just stop everything.
My gastro said i could go on ranitidine once i stopped nexium.
Stop ranitidine 2days before procedure. 1day gaviscon. Dy before testing nothing and the sane follows through until test it over.
It dudnt hurt.
I didnt gag either.
Manometry probe is thicker but bareable for 15mins orocedure.
Ph probe us very thin. I can barely feel it.
Ideally u should eat what ud eat if u were healthy and didnt have im assuming acid reflux.
They want u to be symptomatic. It helps them to get to the cause of issues.
Ive already had coffee, tea, cheese sandwich, salt and vinegar crisps. I will have curry and wine tonight.
