Hello , i have an appointment coming to talk to my doctor about getting surgery for my acid reflux ( GERD) I've been suffer from horrible acid reflux since i was 15 and now I'm 34 and it's alot worse to where it gets so bad i have to go to the ER for relief i live off of omeprazole and over the counter acid reducers and neither are helping me i had a gastric bypass done in 2020 because my doctor said it would cure my acid reflux wrong it only made it worse , i don't wanna live with constant pain i want relief and to live normal
I got Hetal hernia 2cm and was diagnosed with Acid reduced through endoscopy don’t have any heartburn but it does trouble me while I am lying on bed and I do get reguration I do get a lot of salivation. You think solving hernia would solve this? Keeping in mind I am health conscious and been doing everything and controlling my diet.
Thanks for sharing. Without heartburn I’m guessing you had the endoscopy for regurgitation and other symptoms? Did you have esophagitis on the endoscopy or was your esophagus considered healthy? Were any biopsies taken? Have you tried a PPI? All of these and others would be pertinent questions to explore what’s best to do next. Based on profile picture I’m guessing you mean it when you say that you’re health conscious. I see people who lift tend to develop hernias. They also tend to have a protein heavy diet that can disrupt GI motility to promote reflux and alter bowel habits.
@ I did have grade A acid reflux and yeah I do used to eat high protein but I have been eating less for some time now and been on PPI for maybe 3 weeks and I came off but I am doing on and off cycle for PPI also scared of genie long time use.
@@MarkCooperMD also scared to take PPI for longer time due to their side effects too. Thinking to get the hernia surgery what are your thoughts on that? I do appreciate your time.
When did you start PPI vs when did you do EGD. Usually a young person (under 50) without alarm symptoms (you don’t name any) and no concerning family history I defer an endoscopy until they have tried a PPI. For more than half of patients this is all that is needed. For the half that don’t respond to a PPI it’s usually because they need to check their dosing schedule (see my related videos).

Hi! My body has gone through a lot!! I had always been very dedicated to my body. I've never been overweight until recently. In my 30s, I was around 130 pounds now in my 50, I'm 150 pounds. First got diagestive issues when I moved to the USA. After living 3 years here, I contracted H. pilory. Then, ten years later, I started having issues with heartburn, and food would go to my mouth. The doctor found a hiatal hernia that measured 2 cm. I didn't know better, so I went under the knife. Then, 6 years later, the doctor found one gallstone that measured 2 cm, and they removed my gallbladder.😢 The reason they also got gallbladder out is because Bile was moving to my stomach. I was having bile and acid reflex. Then, symptoms went away, but I remained feeling bloated after meals. Since then, I developed IBS symptoms, and just a few weeks ago, I started having heartburn again. 😫 I have avoided sugar for many years. I've tried keto, but the diet makes me have loose stools. I have done fasting, but symptoms don't change. I saw a gastroenterologist last week, and he prescribed an acid blocker, but symptoms are not changing. The fact is, I told him that my right side was hurting, and he didn't say anything. Instead, he wanted me to get a colonoscopy!! Why????? I just recently had a colonguard test, and it came negative. If you tell a doctor about your symptoms and you get an upper respiratory infection because of the acid, how the acid blockers are going to resolve the problem? Why want to do a colonoscopy when right now my problem is at the other end?!!!!😵💫 I have tried to eat more meat than vegetables, and all I get is diarrhea, with lots of bile, and sometimes I get constipated too. It is so hard to follow a diet, especially when your liver is not working properly and there's not a gallbladder to regulate bile. I sincerely regret both surgeries, but I didn't know better, I just wanted to get rid of the symptoms.....and I did, but not for very long. Today, I'm very discouraged, and I don't know who to trust. I don't even know if I can trust everything I watched on RUclips or the diets......I have tried everything. Did I mention that I'm 51 years old and that I have menopause symptoms as well? Yeap!!! So. I get hot flashes, insomnia, and heart palpitations. I don't know which direction to go. I'm lost and frustrated.
Dang, thanks for sharing, doctors suck! He told me I could take meds for the rest of my life or get sergury for a small hernia that's causing my gerd... He said gerd goes away after sergury, but your case sounds fucked up..
Hi! I'm sorry to hear that you are feeling sick, too! I just learned that the reason I'm having acid reflux and gastritis, it's because I have a bacteria called H. Pylori. So, even though I got my hiatal hernia fixed, my symptoms won't go away until I get the bacteria eradicated. The surgery really works, but it can't do anything good if I have the infection.
@@rtcredeemed521 oh shit ok I get you, yea I had a stomach infection too at the beginning of the year, I was puking and vomiting blood but then I took antibiotics and it stopped, then I found out I had gerd, I never felt heartburn or pain of any kind... But they found a small hernia tho... But I honestly feel ok honestly... But still kinda sucks! I'm sorry you feel that way man but at least now you know what's been going on with you tho
If you are bothered by acid reflux or hyper-acidity, try eating red apple delicious or Fuji apple for a few days and it will go away. It is based on our experience. It worked and the problem never came back.
@@frankcastle3827 For acid reflux try eating red apple delicious or Fuji apple for a few days and it will go away. It worked for me, my wife and some of our friends and the problem never came back.
I was unable to make it thru the esophageal manometry test. Is their something else or another way of testing to get the results? My doctor won’t go any further until he has those results.
Haha it does sound painful but isn't, I just had it. It was super easy all I had to do was swallow something and then it's like an X-ray they can see inside you and then swallow a few sips of barium.

@@rtcredeemed521 oh no way, that's pretty cool, ima go see one soon and ask him. Its funny I have "gerd" but I have 0 symptoms.... Please let me know what happens if you do.
Well. I can't go to a chiropractor and do it. I got my hiatal hernia fixed 8 years ago. I already got the surgery. So. It would not work for me. But you can try, since you haven't had the surgery done yet. If you were diagnosed with Gerd and you don't have symptoms, why are you looking for a remedy?
I need your opininion please. I have GERD, constant heartburn even if I eat very alcaline food. Now I am on PPIs, but I know that when I stop taking PPIs, the symptoms back and I believe you know that PPIs are not the solution. Taking PPIs for long term causes a lot of damage. So for me I only see anti-reflux surgery as only solution. I dont have hiatal hernia, just cardia LES insuficiency. And if dont take the medication for GERD, acid will burn my food pipe and can lead to more serious complications. I am 31 now. Would you recommend a surgery to someone like me?
The best I know from study after study and meta analysis of those studies is that there is no convincing substantial harm that is typical of long term use of PPIs. From experience I see people do well with them, which seems to be your experience when taking them. Also from experience I see people have complications of surgery. If I got good results from a PPI I would continue them. I’ll defer your decision to you and your doctor but I hope that helps some.
@@MarkCooperMD thanks for your answer. I respect your opinion, but considering the PPIs I disagree. Now I take them for 2 months and soon I am off of them. In this period by taking PPIs (Ares 20 mg and month later 10 mg one tablet per day) I don't feel heartburn, but I often burp and I feel non acidic reflux. The more important thing is cause of the PPIs my stool is undigested, so minrelas and vitamins and other nutrients don't come in blood. GERD is a disease from hell, but stomach isn't "constructed" to be alcaline, and our guts isn't there to have undigested food.
Stomach Acid isn’t the sole mechanism by which the body digests and absorbs food. That’d be a bad design to have a single fail point. Fiber is supposed to be undigested-that’s the whole point. PPIs don’t cause our stomach to be alkaline but less acidic.
Ok. But why is there risk of hip fracture or lumbal spine fracture after taking PPIs after one year. In my blood test I made 3 days ago I have iron, calcium,...and other nutrients in not so good level. They are not in insuficiency bit it would be soon. I know that after stoping taking PPIs heartburn will return.@@MarkCooperMD

Hi!
