Every so often I need some Tums, but nothing like before. </p> <p>I hope the doctor gave you and your daughter some diet advice like avoid spicy foods, really fatty foods, etc. I hope this is not an unwanted suggestion, but you might consider taking your daughter to an acupuncturist or Chinese herbalist to discuss diet and perhaps some herbal formulas. I know people are often skeptical, but this medicine has been practiced for thousands of years and can really help get to the root of many issues. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wish-us-luck/page/2#post-80923 Wed, 22 Jul 2009 21:40:24 +0000 marianne 80923@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Khris, it must be a huge relief getting past it! Good to hear that it's manageable and hopefully can be resolved. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wish-us-luck/page/2#post-80921 Wed, 22 Jul 2009 21:32:16 +0000 shana 80921@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, and about the coughing. My doctor always told me it was asthma - turns out it was acid reflux! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wish-us-luck/page/2#post-80920 Wed, 22 Jul 2009 21:31:00 +0000 shana 80920@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Khris, I'm glad to hear that the testing is over with and that she was negative for some of the big issues. At least you have some answers and can narrow down the list of possibilities. </p> <p>I also had severe acid reflux for a couple of years - had an endoscopy and all. I took nexium for about 3-4 months which cleared everything up and by being careful when I see the signs of trouble since then, I have never had another really bad flare up (well except during pregnancy). I think of all the things that it could have been, acid reflux might be the easiest to deal with - they even give PPIs to babies nowadays! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wish-us-luck/page/2#post-80913 Wed, 22 Jul 2009 21:18:17 +0000 chewyspaghetti 80913@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Rose.<br /> Shiny- I guess we will have to wait and talk to the doctor about it. He was in a bit of a rush when we saw him after the test. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wish-us-luck#post-80904 Wed, 22 Jul 2009 20:49:52 +0000 Rosie 80904@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>When I was in college I had a period of major problems with GERD, which was really uncomfortable. I have been unfortunately busy and haven't been keeping up with the message boards as frequently as I'd like, so I do now know the extent of your daughter's problems. I can't remember who told me this, but to this day, any time I am having a bit of acid reflux or am uncomfortable and going to sleep, I sleep on my left side. For some reason it makes a HUGE difference. If she is having discomfort when she is lying down, I suggest giving this a try. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wish-us-luck#post-80902 Wed, 22 Jul 2009 20:22:03 +0000 shiny 80902@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sore throat, check. Cough, check! </p> <p>Chewy, do you have any plans to give PPI's a try? Diet can help, but when it gets really bad, the drugs work miracles. You don't need to take them forever - nowadays they say take them for 60-90 days to heal the damage. THEN use diet and such to keep it from recurring. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wish-us-luck#post-80696 Wed, 22 Jul 2009 04:26:35 +0000 chewyspaghetti 80696@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes Shiny- and she often says that her throat hurts when she is not feeling well, on top of the coughing that made the doc suspect Cyctic Fibrosis. So, I guess I just need to put in some research to see how best to manage it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wish-us-luck#post-80653 Wed, 22 Jul 2009 02:22:43 +0000 shiny 80653@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hey Chewy - good to hear things went smoothly. </p> <p>Acid reflux can certainly cause someone to not want to eat much, to be a picky eater, to not tolerate certain foods, and to lose weight. Also to have a lot of trouble sleeping or to be tired all the time (poor sleep because the reflux wakes you up in the night) - does this sound about right? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wish-us-luck#post-80639 Wed, 22 Jul 2009 00:48:05 +0000 chewyspaghetti 80639@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks LouLou Debora and Angie!<br /> It would have been nice to have a great big POSITIVE test result for something, just to know for sure. But, none of the things they were testing for are great things to deal with. Ruling out these things (Celiac, colitis, IBS...) is just as good to me. I think the doctor would want to do a swallow study to confirm diagnosis, but I'm thinking that we can manage that with just diet unless it gets really bad. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wish-us-luck#post-80635 Wed, 22 Jul 2009 00:34:33 +0000 Angie 80635@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good news, Khris. Had you hoped for a more diagnostic result? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wish-us-luck#post-80600 Tue, 21 Jul 2009 22:55:56 +0000 Debora 80600@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Khris, glad to hear that your daughter came through it all like a little champ and that the procedure went smoothly for her. I'm glad her results were normal and I'll continue to keep her in my thoughts. Hope she's feeling better soon! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wish-us-luck#post-80581 Tue, 21 Jul 2009 21:24:04 +0000 Louise 80581@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glad to hear she's OK- sorry you didn't some definate answers x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wish-us-luck#post-80580 Tue, 21 Jul 2009 21:22:08 +0000 chewyspaghetti 80580@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for all of the good wishes!<br /> Everything went smoothly, and all of her test results were normal. He did notice that the opening at the top of her stomach is a bit large and there was a small bit of inflamation- which points to acid reflux. So, we will just watch her diet to see what things irritate it, and proceed accordingly.<br /> She's feeling a little groggy still, but was up to eating lunch out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wish-us-luck#post-80495 Tue, 21 Jul 2009 14:51:47 +0000 Kristen 80495@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh boy, good luck to you both! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wish-us-luck#post-80489 Tue, 21 Jul 2009 14:44:43 +0000 Inge 80489@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hope everything goes well today Khris.
