No need to apologize at all, believe me it is therapeutic to hear you are not alone! Your pepcid experience with the hernia slide up perhaps explains what I deal with, thanks for sharing. My doctors haven't mentioned anything about bending over, so thanks again for another tip.
As far as meals go I ordered a battery food sensitivity test on sale, and plan to use any reactions as a starting point for elimination diets. Hopefully the results will give me some insight where to begin trial eliminations. I had read the Docs had a backlog of urgent surgeries to do following COVID restrictions, no idea if their O.R. schedules finally cleared that backlog off their calendars yet. Sounds like your doctors want their patients to give it the old college (lifestyle changes) try before they take anyone under the knife. That or your insurance has tied their hands.

Thanks for that. I think I’m driving my husband nuts, constantly talking about it. I should just shut up because I don’t want him to worry. He’s not the healthiest guy in the world. I wish I had pearls of wisdom so no one else had to go through this but I’m stuck at the moment. Just trial and errors and lately it;s all errors. No matter what I try I can’t seem to get things to quiet down. Can I ask how come you are not taking a ppi? All docs pour that stuff down your throat. I think they get a percentage of sales. I get the college try but I think the patient should be listened to more and if one has no quality of life then let them have the operation if they want it. I’ve heard of wonderful testimonies of people feeling like human beings again.
It’s bad enough taking the Pepcid which still causes me to get depression but not as bad as a ppi. I take 20mg in the morning and wait 30 to 60 minutes before I eat my oatmeal. And if I start to not feel good in the evening I take a charcoal tab and a Gaviscon. I don’t want to do 40 mg of Pepcid. I will still have to wean off the 20 as it is. You and I are lucky it helps us instead of the stronger ppi which is practically impossible to get off of. Yes for sure check that bee pollen. Allergies are not to be taken lightly.
