How time has gone so slow! After 3 years of suffering from full blown GERD I have yet again reached another milestone and ended up in the hospital because I was unable to swallow and when I did eat talk a about the worst heartburn I've felt since I won this condition from the devil. Odd thing is that this flared backed up after having Endoscopy so word to the hiatal hernia folks if ain't broke don't let them poke around it.
I have been reading posts on this site for a very long time but never wrote back fear I might get really get GERD :-) and I have never really seen a good list of what people eat to cope with GERD. Example I just found that Ensure kills me and was the cause why I burned my throat so bad this time around basically on Baby food now. After losing 10lbs in two weeks I have come to a decision that it's also time I stop worrying about my motility issues and get the Operation. I keep wondering Is it motility lose that causes gerd or gerd that affects motility or add do PPIs causes motility lost which causes gerd? I figure if you can't eat because of GERD and if I can't eat because of the Fundo then everything is the same right? I was doing really well for 3 months a couple summers ago but all down hill from there. First year was aweful and second was bearable and now third is neck to neck with the first. Thanks for reading my rants ... Please write back and tell me what besides baby food works well. I really need the calories without reflux or its back on the IV tube for me.
