With the bottled water and the filter on your faucet, you still feel the water is making you ill? You had mentioned fibroids. This leads me to ask if you have shared your prolonged GI symptoms with your gynecologist? If this topic feels too sensitive, don't answer out loud here. It's important you know the answer. Has your stomach healed up since the pictures were taken? When were the pictures taken? If it has been awhile, have more pictures been taken? Have you ever improved? I hope you are having a good day today! Are you getting outside today? DejaVu |

I got myself the most dishonest, user of a doctor. He told me I NEEDED a colonoscopy, that's why I did it. Upon being discharged from hospital, he just ignored me. I called for nausea medication, he'd give me a little for a while then just stopped. Never a diagnosis except saying Gastritis. I know that's a diagnosis but no treatment or anything. No cause or help with it. Why is he a gastroenterologist??? He does one thing, Colonoscopy and that's it. I wouldn't go back to him or his group for anything!! He did nothing fo me except waste my time and I'm still sick!!

Wiix... I see on another thread you are planning on getting another iguana? That you have had several in the past?
Well anyone with gastritis should be careful about having any pets like reptiles and turtles: http://animalquestions.org/reptiles/...arry-diseases/ I don't know about you, but I sure don't think I could follow all those restrictions if I had a lizard pet.

We've repeatedly been down that road with the doctors. I didn't have salmonella. I know what that is and this is not that. I had salmonella a couple of times when I was young. So I know what that's all about.
If the lizard is healthy and shows no signs of sickness and you feed him correctly there is no problem. It's that my stomach lining is eroded. It looks like Cancer but it's not. Yes, it is a lot of work but when you love them it's a labour of love. |

Hi Wiix,
I am sorry your doctor has not been helpful. Is it possible to see a new gastroenterologist? Will your primary care help you choose one and make a referral? DejaVu |

My new doctor, I've had about 3 years now, may be able to help me find a competent gastroenterologist. I will discuss it with him unless he can think of something else to do. I may just have to live with this until it kills me.

(((( Wiix ))))
Let's hope there is a solution. It's important to know if your stomach has healed. Once the condition of your stomach is known, the better any targeted treatment. As mrsD has mentioned in a different gastritis thread, kefir can be helpful. It's very bland (esp. plain or vanilla). I use the Evolve brand when I use it. http://www.evolvekefir.com/healthstudies.html http://www.evolvekefir.com/AcidolphilusCaseStudies.pdf There are many good kefir brands available. There are also probiotics in capsule form. I am very concerned about making other suggestions, as they may cause you more troubles IF your stomach lining is not healed. I hope you have had a good day! I also hope you will have a restful, peaceful night. DejaVu |

I'm trying something new. I have a full bottle of spring water when I first wake up. I stopped having coffee for a few days to see if that made a difference and it didn't. This water thing I think is helping, for now anyway.
