No gastritis, no inflammation, no hernia no GERD - what is this?!
Posted , 6 users are following.
Right, I'm posting both here and in reflux esophagitus in the hope that someone can tell me what on earth is going on with me because I'm really looking at dying as the only option to elliviate me from this hell hole. So tired of not getting better.
I've had an endoscopy, suppodesdy the gold standard test to review if there are any problems with my esophagus and digestive tract. This has shown absolutely no erosions, no hernia, no inflammation what-so-ever and the gastro told me to discontinue the idea of GERD or a hernia from my head as he doesn't think this is a problem for me at all.
I have however been diagnosed with constipation, fecal loading and a colon that contracts and causes abdominal pain. I've mentioned this as I don't know if it will be relevant with the problems I'm having higher up.
Right, so lets get to the problems I have higher up.
In between meals (never after I've eaten) I get what starts as a tickle, almost like there's dust or something tickling my throat and esophagus. Then I feel the need to cough which is a dry cough.
I'll then feel breathless and have some chest presence and sensitivity.
I absolutely do not get heartburn at all and have told there is no damage in my esophagus and it's very unlikely I have GERD.
SO WHAT THE HELL IS THIS THEN?
I've really had enough.
Any responses will be helpful.

Good luck ..I sense like me you are getting frustrated and anxious about your situation ..but honestly stressing about it really can cause throat chest and bowel problems .

I am very stressed, even beforehand I have suffered with anxiety and feeling indcredibly frustrated with my life.
I'm on mebeverine which seems to have helped with cramping, but I'm having strange chest pressure, tickling and coughing with throat soreness. Have you had to change your diet at all with all of this or have you just been using Laxido and going through CBT? I'm also due to receive CBT and hope it helps me. Thank again.

For constipation
I have either carrots, Apple, cabbage juice or warm water with ginger root, add camomile tea (this has helped me a lot)
For itchy/tickled throat
Try having a tsp of manuka honey and/or Apple cider vinegar, honey, lukewarm water 20-30mins before breakfast or eating
Be patient. You'll feel better soon.
Try to go for walk after meals, eat small meals everyday 2-3hrs, avoid trigger foods. Eat lots of fruits (banana and Apple are the best) and vegetable and meditate
