Gastritis, Esophagitis, GERD , small Hiatal hernia , diverticulosis
I am suffering 7 years with chronic digestive disorders , that take me out every day and night . I have Chronic Gastritis, Esophagitis, Class B GERD , small Hiatal hernia , diverticulosis. The worse thing is , I deep wet beach what tastes like sewer water 2000-3000 x a day/ night . My gut can’t handle any kind of food . It just constantly churns and is so loud , non stop . I live on Ultra Pepto . I’ve tried everything under the sun , RX wise , holistic wise , diet and elimination wise . Had so many tests done ✅. Even did acupuncture and 3 sessions of hypnotherapy. 6 Gastro Drs , in 2 states . I’m not celiac and no h pylori . I Eat small and healthy when I can eat . No fast food , no caffeine , low sugar ( just fruit) low dairy . Tried Keto and Gluten free . I’m on waitlist for Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville 6 weeks now . I’m a medical mystery and it’s now getting to me emotionally. I can’t lead a normal life . So much I want to do and I’m always sick . No Dr. has helped yet . I pray daily for relief of symptoms. Even for a day or two of relief. I’m desperately seeking and tried everything they make for gut health on Amazon. Today I will start on antidepressant . I’m sick if I eat or don’t eat and have empty stomach. We rarely go out to lunch and never to dinner . Just cook at Home . My poor body is getting weary of this . 7 years taken away and counting .
Thanks, Rosemary

I’m sorry for you. I suffer basically the same, but not sure about wet beach water? I’m down to water, potatoes & Boost.. 🤮 & it’s expensive….of course green beans, asparagus. It’s just not worth the pain to eat real food. ! When I think I’m feeling better, I’ll have some real food…not worth it. Ok, I’m going to say something a lot of people will disagree with (STRONGLY), but when my gut starts hurting bad.. I sip an ounce or 2 of Jagermeister. It has anti-inflammatory properties. It usually helps me, but it’s not very tasty, and obviously not for everyone. DISCLAIMER: I’m not a Dr. and I don’t diagnose, this works for me when I’m EXTREMELY bloated ;& in lots of pain (not all the time), but most.

1 ReactionP.S. to Rosemary: I’m the one who suggested Jagermeister. I’ll probably get kicked off the site. But I’ve been going thru the same crap as you for about 7 years as well.. I’ve turned to holistic & vitamins. I don’t think Dr’s can help me.. I only have 3 GI’s !! Also, years ago I had a Pharmacological DNA done, I’m heading that way now.
I’ll try to keep you posted

1 ReactionI have some type of stomach condition, too. I don't know what is wrong. I am just wasting away, too.
Sorry, to hear about your digestive issues.. I hope that it gets better.

1 ReactionI don't know which way to go. Do I go the holistic way or the doctor's way to regain my health? I do not have a bowel movement for 10-30 days? Doctors think that I am crazy.
@saygirl other than giving you a GI cocktail in the ER. What tests have been conducted towards your symptoms to determine what is going on?
The ER did not conduct any tests. My primary care doctor told ER to send me home. Then, my primary care doctor would not refer me to a gastrointestinal doctor. I was told to keep taking high blood medicine, cholestrol, and pills for anxiety.
Any suggestion on what to do. My insurance only covers so much.
My stomach is still swollen, cramps, and I keep passing gas. Sometimes, I have chest pain.
I think rhat is why they ran a heart test in the ER. Then, they discovered that it was acid reflux. I was given medicine for ulcers, Then, the insurance did not cover it or it was not approved by my primary care doctor.
