@shirls1953 I am so sorry to hear how bad it has gotten. I am still in the "try anything phase" with doctors to see what works. I did just find out through a endoscopy and 24 PH manometry that I have a Hill Grade lV esophageal flap meaning it is the most severe and does not close, so all my food and stomach acid moves to my esophagus, causing inflammation in my lungs from microaspirations and inflammatory stomach and esophageal lining. Biopsied and it is not cancerous yet, thankfully. I have very low motility so we are trying larger doses of Amitiza, but I have not had great success with this.

I pray your surgery brings you relief and new blessings to your life pain free.

I have had gastritis and also have that to a lesser degree. I think that for me that will be better when I have my ileostomy as the bowel also pushes up into the stomach. The bowel goes across under the stomach to.the other side so.wgen it's big and full the stomach has a smaller space.
