Overcoming my esophagitis - Health update 

Cutting out dairy all together has helped me tremendously. Hope that helps someone.

I can feel you. Stress and anxiety caused mine as well.

I had it as well. Knowing the Peace of God and giving Him my anxiety and fears eventually healed me

I have inflammation at my upper stomach I think is Sphichter or Oesophagus. This inflammation radiate to my middle upper back for the past 23 months. I have changed diet, I have used different medications. I had lost 10KG of weight. I’m scheduled for Gastroscopy on 1 Aug 2024 in 2 days, I hope we find the root cause. May everyone going through this find healing.

Stress and anxiety is the culprit to acid reflux. I am facing the same issue and thinking about ut makes me feel for anxious. But seeing others and sharing thoughts relieves the symptoms ❤

Man, im glad bro. Hearing ur story makes me feel so much better. Im having the same symptoms as you minus the food getting stuck on the stomach. Im glad you are doing better. And yes the losing weight is depressing

I’ve been dealing with it for a month and a half now. Been having bad panic and anxiety attacks thinking I’m having an asthma attack, but really it’s esophogitus/GERD.

I have had several dilations (4 or 5), eating healthy helps the most. Apples, turmeric shots help me. Basically things that are antinflammatory.

This Gave Me So Much Relief…I’ve Been Dealing w| Gerd, Rapid Weight Loss & Difficulty Sawllowing ( Food Getting Stuck ) Lump In My Throat & It’s Looking Like My Esophagus Is Narrowed…Its Really Been Stressing Me Out, I Medication For Acid Reflux But I Feel I Need A Endoscopy Atp .

I changed my diet 10 years ago , in a big way, stopped eating over 80% of Processed Foods aka Poison . I don't eat spicy , fried, greazy foods, stopped eating soda 10 years ago . I most drink water at certain times. I eat soups like potatoe , celery, green beans and I'll put in some meat for my spouse to eat. I mostly eat the cooked vegetables; I like them better. I don't' care to eat meat , stopped that long ago. I just want to HEAL and get better . I wouldn't go back to eating the way I used too . I don't have an issue to change my diet, I have done that (again ) 10 years ago .

I'm so sorry your going through this. I have had a lot more stress and anxiety lately I went a week without having enough water and last night I ended up buying a burrito from dollar tree because I was so hungry and it was fine but when I got to the end of the burrito I took too big of a bite and felt the worse pain in my life. My chest started to hurt it was a sharp pain. I went 24 hours now without food, just water it's getting better but I realize that I need to start back on my keto. The burrito or any breads is too much for me to handle before this I never had issues. So just wanting everybody please be careful. My enspophigus is still sore but healing more n more

I had to call 911 due to panic attacks and the hospital really couldn't help and probably thought I was a hypochondriac after the first time. Lol. 🥺 I can't wait to have my EDG. I'm miserable and losing weight refluxing in my sleep and I've even had a piece of food get up in my sinuses.

I ve dealing with this inflamation since 2011, i heal myself with juicing and smoothies, went 100% whole foods plant based but this past year for stress reasons i developed a horrible coffee habit consumption and the GERD symptoms and disfagya is back. So i activate my protocol of juicing and smoothies, have lost 10 pounds already, cant eat any solids... im scared of eating and so bloatead sometimes it takes 3 hours to drink 32 ounce smoothie... this is so hard to the mind and the soul... bless you and i hope you stay healthy

going through this right now its one of those conditions wich make you feel like you are experiencing hell on earth. You dont realize how many times you swallow and eat in a day until you experience this

I’m going through it again this is the third time it’s occurring. First time was a little different and it was in 2015 I couldn’t eat cause food kept feeling food get stuck in my throat I thought it was all a psych thing but it got bad for a while I ended up not eating out of fear and lost a lot of weight I couldn’t even recognize myself. I think I was going through a stressful time back then cause Im noticing all three times this is happening I had been under mad stress and feeling so much anxiety. So I had an endoscopy done was given IBS meds and I noticed the meds helping with the acid reflux and I was slowly working my way to eating normal again and I was good for a few years and then it came back 2018, only this time swallowing even while not eating was kind of an issue. I was so devastated because I had gained back all the weight and then some from recovering the first one. I’ve tried getting contractions measured with a tube that goes down nose and throat, couldn’t do it. I had to leave. I couldn’t keep the gagging in control and it scared the shit of me so I had to leave the appointment and I felt such shame. The ladies were nice and I am grateful for that but respectfully I hope to never see them again. I got back on the IBS meds and started from square one. I got better and I have been thriving like a normal individual..up until now. I’m dealing with a lot stress and anxiety due to school and work and taking extra certification course for the next two weekends and it wasn’t until 5 nights ago I started waking in the middle of the night because I couldn’t swallow. I had to really really try. This is the first time it’s been like this at least I was able to sleep the last two time it happened and now it just torment. Can’t get a break. Well I’m kinda glad to see I’m not the only one going through this, makes me less crazy. But yeah I’m gonna see about talking to my doctor about this. God bless you all .

Aloe Vera, leave the leaf in stand position to drain the green bad stuff and then chew and swallow a small piece every 3hs. Works every time, and it will get you through the night

I have had symptoms sporadically for maybe 6 years (often embarrassing) and was today diagnosed with Eosinophilic esophagitis. My Dr. explained the options, including steroids, but as my episodes are sporadic, (sometimes months apart) and (fearing side effects from steroids) I opted to go with Protonix for acid reflux) and see how it goes. Continued symptoms will require a re-evaluation obviously. Thanks for the great video, well done !

If I may ask? How is it going? Any more symptoms? I have had this for 8years and I’m tired

Happy you are better! Wow, nursing school gave you acid reflux?! It’s stressful so that is totally understandable, I have class mates who have started taking anti-anxiety meds. I’m glad you are better and pray for your continued healing! 😊

So glad you are feeling better 🤗

I am having acid reflux since 2021, is getting worst and worst now: I have difficulty swallowing and stomach pain, cannot fine the cause. I’m waiting for my biopsy result: any advice is very welcome. Nobody should feel this pain ever, your lifestyle is totally changed

I love your attitude ! You seem super sweet and compassionate. I would def want you as my nurse. I have been having this weird mid stomach pain that would come once every 3-4 months. But intense pain. I would forget about it bc I had no other symptoms. When my co worker who is 29 told me he was having a colonoscopy bc his issues I remembers my stomach issues so I scheduled an appt to see gastro dr. He ordered labs , MRI abdomen with contrast , colonoscopy and EGD. Hs told me he is covering his bases but he thinks it’s a stomach issue. So colonoscopy and EGD completed . Colonoscopy completely normal. EGD they found mild inflammation of esophagus and took a few biopsies to check for h pylori and other things. I am currently on medication for my esopagitis. I have to take it for 2 months. My f/u is this Thursday to go over biopsy results. However , taking these meds is really making me burp. I don’t remember burping like this before. I was told stay off spicy foods , NSAIDs and try not to have anything with to much acid rt now like sodas and coffee. Well I’m staying off soda but I’m having my coffee in the morning after I eat ( so it’s not on empty stomach ). I’m going to ask Dr thur if I can still have just one cup or do I have to stay off it forever. 😩. Also I was told reduce stress. I didn’t think I was really stressed but when I think about everything going on in my life right now ( I’m a travel tech so I’m constantly traveling to different hospitals , I’m dealing with a cat on chemo , I’m constantly reading and watching videos on narcissistic family which is a whole other story , I’m writing a book and planning to move out of state etc. so maybe I’m more stressed then I thought I was

I had 2 endoscopies done. First one showed a very low count of eosinophils, the second showed none, no strictures, no narrowing, nothing but still felt like I had trouble swallowing, that was three years ago, it went away on its own and felt 100%. now it kinda came back, getting another endoscopy next month, it’s crazy! I lost weight as well and yes, the anxiety is awful with this, people don’t get it

So i have this problem. And i have been daialated twice in 20 days still not working. Everything gets stuck still. Almost died many times. But they only have me on 80mg of omeprazole and the steroid inhaler that i have to swallow. Ive lost 20lbs and im starving. Maybe i need antihistamines also and the proton pump inhibitor

They said that to me also I’ve never felt acid reflex so I don’t think they know about me I think they’re guessing I’m kind of worried. I went to a ent and I’m being treated now for a sinus infection that I’ve probably suffered from a big part of my life. Who knows I’ve actually started to fear going to doctors because…do they really know what’s wrong with us? I also have Barrett’s they said and I don’t know if I have that anymore cause now they say it’s gastritis.

Literally my life right now. I need the Egd but the insurance side of things is holding me up and I’m left suffering because it’s not covered. It’s very disheartening I’ve cried many days because I want this to end already

Acid reflux and gerd were part of my life. Reduced my PPI meds as my GERD was really bad. Titrated down over two weeks but had a bad couple of days where the acid was too strong therefore it appears now I am experiencing Esophagitis. Thanks for the video as this will help. On my way to my Dr for an endoscopy. Slow eating, lots of chewing and proper breathing helps as well. Peace.

Looks like you talking about me I have all this symptoms for years not solve yet.

*Can Erosive Esophagus be Cured* ??? *In your opinion of course* I am having an EGD test next week. I pray that the results are good. I have no clue what caused mine because I have several health issues taking place all at once. I don't know If I had lack of bile moving through my kidneys . What I did have was Gall Bladder and Stones , giving me issues. And three months later I found out about GERD AND ESOPHAGUS . *I wished someone could help me with these 2 issues* . *GERd and Erosive Esophagus* I been dealing with GERD and Esophagus for 3 years. I found out too , I had stress and anxiety . I just want to heal both health issues and get back to normal.

Glad it’s better!

I'm super mentally broken from this, feeling like this will take forever to heal... Can you please tell us how long it took for you to finally swallow solids or even liquids without anxiety, and how long have you been on meds? Happy you feel better!

im glad you know what it was

Nurse David , what kind of specialist did you have ????? Thank you !!!!

I am going through this right now. I was in the ER two weekends ago for severe esophageal spasms, due to acid reflux. I was put on omerazoprole and mylanta as needed. I’m still really feeling the pain and it gave me anxiety, and I’m feeling hopeless. How long does it take to stop feeling the pain from my esophagus? I also lost weight from all this and it’s only been two weeks. I’ve always battled with acid reflux but never had to go to the ER for severe pain. They said my esophagus is inflamed. Doctor said it can take up to eight weeks to heal. I just need to heat it from someone who has gone through this. Will I recover soon, and the pain subside? I’m terrified I’ll get another severe spasm again that lasts for hours like the last one. I am really missing my old lifestyle and really missing my wine and not being in pain and really don’t want to eat toast the rest of my life.

Symptoms can be mimicked by pressing finger on side front of neck

Have you recovered fully? How? Please share.

So I just had a endoscopy today , I have had burning in my chest area and a dry cough for about 6 mths , I went to a Pulmonologist because there was a couple things , like some scarring , etc in a CT of the lungs .He did a broncoscopy and said it was not my lungs causing the problems. So I went to a GI DR and also I had troble swallowing , things would get stuck , like in my chest area , that had been going on for over a year. I dont think I ever had acid reflex that I know of . But he said I do have LA grade A esophagitis . And chronic gasteritis . So he did like 2 or 3 biopsys , but I guess I need to take Prilosic , Did you have any chest pains (burning) cough? Im hoping this med will heal this problem.

Mine is causing throat irritation and nausea and I have barrett's esophageal also

How long did you take Proton Pump Inhibitor meds?

I hung in there watching this until He said he is on Proton pump inhibitor!! Those are TERRIBLE for you. Run away from those. Your body needs acid to digest food properly. Inhibiting the acid is not the answer.

Are you having loose lower esophageal sprinter also?

What anxiety medication will help me relax if thats the cause of reflex

I have Been going through this since august. It’s very scary. I had to go to the er twice last month feeling like food was stuck. They dilated my esophagus which i can eat better now but the acid still won’t go away. If stays in my throat and i have loud gurgling noises. I have tried pantoprazole, famotidine and cemeditine which gave me side effects. I’m not on lansoprazole which has no side effects but i wonder if it’s working. I’m trying a new medicine sucralfate tomorrow. I just want this esophagitus and go away. I used to be able to eat whatever with no issues. Once it’s healed can you enjoy a spicy or fried food or do you always have to eat the same?

Sorry to ask this, but are you stoned? 😂

Great video. Did you ever get a spasm in the chest ? My heartburn went away after going vegan 4 years ago , bust I drank alcohol on Saturday and had a major spasm. Never had one before and I am now having all the systems you have . I had acid reflux for most I ate horribly on and off. Like I mentioned when I get rid of all Dairy and animal products, it went away, but the alcohol triggered something.
