I went to my g.p. I said I still had stomach issues that come and go and antacids don't help much. He said I needed an endoscopy with dr.warman.
I said I will do it but wait a while.Maybe I will do it in a month or so

You will most likely have a similar experience waking up with no memory of the procedure. Wish they could have done both at the same time but that may have been a bit much.

I am 75 so I don't think they would have done it. I just woke up from a nap and feel nauseated. I think I can make an appointment online to see him. I guess I shouldn't wait.I just requested an appointment for this Friday at two and am waiting to hear a reply. I just got a confirmation and expect to get a call.

I think that procedure will help a lot more with the stomach problems.

I don't know what to tell you to try. Hoping it helps you.

after the coffee the nausea went away. I am reading another enjoyable book and listening to Josh Groban and I just took an allergy pill. I just made another cup of coffee

I can't believe what I just did. alex my youngest nephew sent me pictures of his sons in camp and pictures of his wife and him in Greece. I thanked him and told him how scared I was about my not feeling well. He wrote back and said stay positive. I wrote back a lengthy reply. I began with I have no family.
i have done more reading and it really sounds as if I have IBS. I just ordered two pounds of ginger chews

alex didn't comment that I had no family. I have gotten really irritable.

I'm so happy that you had the procedure done, and you already know that everything's okay. It's great that something that has been weighing on you for so many years is in your rear view mirror now :hug:

I think that you could definitely benefit from an upper endoscopy, if only to rule nefarious things out. Your symptoms are not responding to OTC meds, so something is going on that needs to be at least treated with prescription medication. There is no prep for it, usually just no food after midnight, and you will probably have the same kind of sedation.

I hope that the doubled dose of the Linzess helps with what seems like IBS. That's what it's mainly prescribed for (((HUGS)))
Please don't take anymore over the counter laxatives, and just try to let it do its job even if you don't poop for a couple of days.

I'm happy knowing that you and the kitties are comfy in your apartment with your new AC :hug::hug::hug:

I'm sorry that you are having problems with one of your nephews again. They are so unresponsive to you (((HUGS)))

last night I took magnesium citrate and phillips and today I took Linesse. I was just feeling so uncomfortable bloated gassy and nauseated, and constipated and I don't know if the Linesse is working. I didn't want to take a chance. I was just feeling so rotten. I feel much better today. I am also drinking a lot of coffee. The thought of food nauseates me, except for coffee. I can't believe how well the antidepressant is working. I am still exhausted from the anesthesia but still listening to Josh Groban and when I am not napping I am reading or petting the kitty cats. Heard from my g.i. doctor by email saying the office is closed on friday and call on Monday for an appointment.

I am irritable. Just heard from Stella and she is so ignorant. she said IBS is easy to fix. what a jerk. My irritability is interfering with my antidepressant. Also read that Linesse can take seven days to work. I wrote her again and says she believes in magical thinking and is afraid of reality and her biggest flaw is lack of humility
