I have been suffering from severe acid reflux...I am taking a GI Cocktail before I eat and another med to help with the acid. It is some better but I rather not eat...

I couldn't see my usual PCP and this one referred me for blood work, and an endoscopy based on what he heard for my innards.lol I had the blood work yesterday, not sure when I will have the endo. If I get it before Jan 1 Medicare will cover it...otherwise, they do not accept HMOs which is what my insurance plan will be.

The GI cocktail has lidocaine as one of the ingredients...I numbed the back of my tongue last night...hot cup of tea...nunb tongue...today sore tongue. He wants to check the hiatial hernia...and check for some bacteria in the stomach or something. I told him that I have IBS, already been tested...he still wants it done.


Rule for acid reflux...if it tastes good spit it out!!
