Chronic Digestive Disorders
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

@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.
I take Mylanta for gas pain.
I meant i take Mylanta for chest pains.
I don't know if I have a low functioning thyroid.
I suffer in silence.
Hi @saygirl, it sounds as though you are taking multiple meds for similar conditions and hoping for different reactions. I am in no way a medical professional, but if I was in that situation, I might stop all of the over the counter medicines that were not prescribed by my physician and give my body a chance to clear out so it could tell me what it is needing without all the clutter. Mylanta is for acid content and indigestion in the stomach, not chest pain. You also said your doctor told you to keep taking high blood medicine, cholesterol, and pills for anxiety. What medications would those be?
