I used prevacid. Took it for a couple of years. Stopped just for the hell of it.. about five years ago.. haven’t had a problem since. Eat whatever I want, too. Not that changing your diet wont help. I’m just saying.. if you have insureance.. the prevacid has no side effects at all that I’m aware of. Pop a capsule in the morning and forget about it. Tomatos have lycopene.. which is great against cancer of the prostate.. or put another way, which is great for not having a great rot up yer pooter which makes you piss funny, not screw, and then die. Pepcid and over the counter stuff is not really for acid reflux, it’s for when you drink too much or eat the wrong thing. Prevacid stops the acid from building up in the first place. And by the way.. get on it. I dinked around with diet and over the counter stuff and wound up doing damage to my esophagus. The acid rises up beyond the point where the body can handle it.. and burns it… I was lucky.. but I’ve seen operations on people who seriously messed themselves up by waiting to treat acid reflux.. and you don’t wanna go there. Twang!

You think that’s bad? I just watched "The Fly" movie. Remember when he barfs on the guy’s leg and dissolves it? Now THAT’s acid reflux. You and Ashlee come back when you can show me a melted microphone… then I might have some sympathy.

Fish Oil Capsule's

G’day G’day,  That is one question I can answer simply.   I don’t know. Fish oil capsules come with an expiry date. I simply look at that and buy the ones with the longest time to go.  In hot climates it probably makes sense to keep them in the fridge. People do a lot of worrying about oxidation.  Where temperatures are low and the fish oil high grade such oxidation as does occur might even be beneficial.  Part of the reason I say I don’t know is because things aren’t always simple and obvious. BTW.  One caveat I should have added to my previous post is to consult with your doctor/GP when taking high doses of fish oil.  So many people are on so many meds these days that few people are well represented in all respects by the sort of averages dealt with in studies.

G’day G’day,  Most fish oil tablets contain 1000 mg of refined fish oil containing 180 mg of EPA and 120 mg of DHA.  Some tablets provide more either by having 1200 mg of refined fish oil or by increasing the concentration of EPA and DHA by further distillation. As with many news articles the science gets a bit garbled.  To get 1000 mg of DHA and EPA one would have to have sufficient fish oil to get 1000 mg of DHA since it is the one in the lesser amount.  Well … to get over 1000 mg would take nine of the standard size capsules. The after taste is avoided by buying a brand that has an enteric coat. They label describes them as reflux free. Though it is probably irrelevant to anyone else I am currently taking five a day. My lipid profiles are normal and I have little incentive to do more or less.  The containers suggests three. >Hey Quentin, does a tsp of cod liver oil have the same cholesterol >busting abilities as fish oil capsules?

Barry Sears puts 4 capsules of pharmaceutical grade fish oil as equivalent to 1 TABLESPOON of cod liver oil. Interestingly he makes the following suggestion if one’s TG:HDL ratio is less than 2 using US mg/100ml units (0.9 on mmol/L units), then ones diet should contain 2.5 grams of long-chain omega-3 per day.   Notice that he is lumping EPA and DHA together.       1 gram fish oil -> 0.3 gram of long chain omega-3       ? gram fish oil -> 2.5 gram of long chain omega-3 To solve the direct proportionality, two numbers must be multiplied and the third one divided.  Use the one on the diagonal for division. (1 x 2.5) / 0.3 = 8.3 capsules.   OK so to meet Barry Sears recommendation one is back to nine capsules per day if one doesn’t have other source of long chain omega-3s in one’s diet.   But wait … brace yourself. If your triglyceride:HDL is greater than 2 (US) or 0.9 (others) then one is meant to take double that dose for a month.  That is eighteen capsules per day. Well what could be wrong with that?   <grin> Firstly one needs to increase the dosage of active oils slowly. Secondly we are talking 18 grams of fat = 162 Calories.   Basically adding calories isn’t usually the most successful strategy. Put simply one has to take out fat calories from somewhere else. That 162 grams is 9% of one’s calorie intake on a 1800 Calorie per day diet. Remembering that the ADA suggested maximum calories from fat is 30%, about one third of one’s fat intake from other sources has to go. Thirdly readers here are mostly diabetics, many of them T2s.  T2s are notorious for having high TG:HDL ratios so much so that is makes an excellent marker for insulin resistance, the hallmark of the condition. If one simply adds fats bumping up calorie intake then blood glucose levels are likely also to rise. If one REPLACES other fats with long chain omega-3s then this problem usually doesn’t arise. Still YMMV and it does with fish oil supplementation.  Some people find their blood glucose control improves and some that it worsens. The average seems to stay unchanged but hey, who is average around here. If you embark on taking fish oil supplementation then do what you always do TEST, TEST, TEST. Hope this helps. With the AHA recommending fish oil, I’ll have to run a little harder to stay ahead of the game. <grin> — Quentin Grady       ^  ^  / New Zealand,       >#,#< [                     / /     "… and the blind dog was leading." http://homepages.paradise.net.nz/quentin

The Reflux Catch-22

Doctors want their respiratory patients to avoid reflux, since it may worsen respiratory symptoms.

   Hi Steven,    I don’t get reflux much now, but I used a non-prescription    preparation called  TOPAL, the composition of which was –    dried alum. hydrox. gel  30mg     light mag. carb. 40mg     alginic acid 200mg     cream tab.     I recommend it because it is utterly harmless and doesn’t     clash with any of the other medicaaments you take.> >   If it’s off the market, show this to your pharmacist to

         Deanie, God bless you for the suggestions.  I am currently taking 150mg generic Zantac at bedtime for horrible acid reflux.  Thought I had a heart attack one night, almost called my internist at about 2AM one morning. The Gastroenterologist that decided I had IBS after giving me an Endoscopy & Colonoscopy (maternal grandma had colon cancer) is only giving me MiraLax.  That is a prescription laxative to help with the miserable constipation from the Methadone.  I had planned to schedule an appt. with him this week or next, and will ask. Thank you again for the suggestions, I have felt so lost since he first suggested that I had IBS.  When I told him of the horrible pain, he just nodded, and said ok.  He did not offer any drugs to help the problem.  Like many docs I have seen in the past, he probably thinks that at 12 scripts already, I am taking enough prescription medication. Too bad he doesn’t have the care/comfort of the patient primary in his mind.  He didn’t even tell me that there were meds available to help with the IBS, or possibly the pain from it.  I will say that 70-80mg of Methadone a day doesn’t even touch the pain in the abdomen! Some days the pain feels like the stomach proper, and other days it does feel lower, like in the intestines.  That’s just me guessing, tho, it could all be in the intestines, and I just don’t know how low the stomach is in the human body :-} Again, thanks for the help, hope you are having as pain free nights & days as is humanly possible.  You are in my thoughts & prayers, and I will put 36 cents in the pishka for you.  Your kindness & support are nothing short of amazing.          With Love, Caring, & Peace,                   Albert — Tis easier to go thru the eye of a needle, than the knee of an idol                        web    http://www.schmendrik.org

         Michele, I hope that you are feeling better now, and the pain has dropped to a more managable level.  The abdominal pain is a little better on days when I take just a little muscle relaxant, NOT enough to take a "trip", ala the ’60s :-} Hoping that you are having as pain free nights and days as are humanly possible, and that you are getting better rest now.  Looking forward to chatting with you another night.          With Love, Caring, & Peace,                   Albert — Tis easier to go thru the eye of a needle, than the knee of an idol                        web    http://www.schmendrik.org

     ??? I never have Ms. Shapere, nor has anyone else I know. Oh, btw, Ms. Shapere, Lt. Colonel Viktor Serhejovich Dementiev has asked me to answer this for him, given his limited knowledge of English, and I do like to help a fellow countryman out when possible. But I digress, where were we now Ms. Shapere? Hanna (Jr.) Elizabeth Shapere just said: "> I’m surprised that you are spending so much time speculating on my > physiognomy. >Is there a reason that fascinates you so much?"

I should think not Ms. Shapere! You are again most mistaken. You do this quite often when you do not parrot medical text most carefully, and or with anything that in the slightest requires abstract thinking. You have astonished me many, many times by your conclusions, lines of "reasoning" and very nearly  _always _  self-serving, and insecure _ego agenda_  along with *sly* speculations. That is, when you do *dare*, to _fearfully_ venture forth from rephrasing text.  I am very sincere with you here. You are remarkably consistent in that. Or did you perhaps not think that I would notice? However, in another vein, one not yet collapsed in your case, as you give that impression ;)  , do you use or have used a lot of injectables may I ask? Moving along’ my taste has always been for lean, as opposed to something, not.. but that has nothing to do with your "physiognomy." ;) Given the insertion point, of your reply, just below a statement of Col. Dementiev’s, I am forced to ask, do you know what you are talking about? Do you know what "physiognomy" even means? (Big sounding word, huh? Sounds good, huh? You must be smart, huh? ;) If you wish to know something, shouldn’t you ask me? Or do you have a lot of time and no one to share it with? I grant you consent to ask. Just be straightforward and sincere, or at a minimum, amusing. Please do pay particular attention to the above sentence. It was not meant lightly, despite the previous and unfortunately, ritualistic and obligatory snidness given the circumstances. Did’ja get it? Sure? Wouldn’t want to go to fast for you. Besides, I misspell a lot when going to fast anyway. So, we will walk through it, should you wish.

In your "physiognomy" you mean? ??? Or other aspects of your instrument? I could obtain a photo should I ever evince such a purulent desire, and post it for everyone’s delight. Do you wish to challenge me on this? Were you to _challenge_ me on this, foolishly, I should wait till past the holidays though, for greatest effect.

              ;) That may very well be possible, given what you have said.

Such that you felt "most needful", to aniously, post this, your understated, great alarm? Do you do this often? Does it relieve you somehow? Is your relief greater when you do so in public?

Such questions always have great significance for the drug using segments of the public.

Unless he is "past such" an undoubtedly most trivial and half forgotten matter, and has found loftier interests and fulfillments in other activities.  Ms. Shapere, you have not yet found such higher pursuits, judging by your state of "alarm".

About Paul Anthony Gowder, Jr. Esquire’s penis? I think not. No, not at all. I have no need for his penis, unlike you.  Elizabeth Shapere: > I mean, have you > talked to somebody about this?

Have you? Has he? If not, don’t you think you should? Should not he? Elizabeth Shapere: > (BTW, Paul does *not* take drugs.)

Oh? Paul Gowder, Esq. doesn’t use drugs, not even pot? Or does a lot of pot, etc? A line of cocaine maybe, to help him "get it up"? Any, I am not the person that you should be telling this too.

Digestion Problems?

Question:

Hello a.s.s-s! I am 31 years old and have been off of cigarettes since January 1st. This is my 4th or 5th quit and the longest I have ever went without relapsing is 9 months. When I smoke, I have no indigestion, unless I’ve overeaten or have eaten very spicy foods. I am also completely regular when I smoke. Everytime I quit smoking (including now), I suffer from chronic indigestion and irregularity. Just about everything I eat gives me heartburn and I belch constanatly. Even the mildest of foods will give me heartburn and stomach gas. It feels as though when I smoke, food travels through my system at proper speed…….but when I don’t smoke, everything just lays in my stomach much longer than it should. I also become so irregular, that even Metamucil hardly helps. The thing that concerns me is that even when I quit for 9 months, my digestion did not improve over all that time until I started smoking again. As silly as it sounds, when I smoke, I feel perfectly healthy. When I don’t, my digestive system is a wreck. It’s as though my digestive system has become completely dependant upon smoking in order to work properly! Can anyone with similar experiences relate to what I’m talking about or am I just a strange case?                                Thanks for reading,                                            Gene Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com

Response:

Same here, only I have quit for 6 years, before finally deciding that smoking does help my digestive speed, the trick however is to keep it to as little as possible: 2-3 cigarettes around mid-morning is all I ‘need’ until they come up with better meds (prepulsid does not do much for me). I have tried everything else, a good diet helps, light exercise ditto, but no amount of fibre in the diet or exercise or laxatives keeps me as ‘happy’ as having a couple of cigarettes each morning, without them my regularity slips and everything else follows; bloating, reflux, etc… I only wish the incompetent doctors (many specialists) would have warned me about this instead of pushing me to quit when I was having mild heartburn problems. quitting only made it worse and i have paid for it dearly, since for  a number of years I had to spend inordinate amounts of time and money caring for my uncooperative digestive system, instead of focusing on my career and other interests. So I will die a few years early , but what choice do i have now? I would not encourage anybody to start smoking, but for some of us who did smoke for a number of years, the choice seems to be between two evils, I chose to cut off a few years off my life and trade them for a better quality of life NOW. Again, the challange is to use tobacco as ‘medicine’, it IS addictive and it’s easy to slip into smoking too much. Hopefully I will find something else that work as well, but so far i haven’t found it. chris

There are lots of sites that discuss the merits of this operation and I have seen many posts by people who have had to have the operation done again because it didn’t work and other people who still have the same or more reflux after the operation was done. May I give you and anyone else reading this a few things to think about concerning the operation which I believe is correctly named: "Laparoscopic Nissen Fundoplication" There are many, many web sites that discuss this operation. Try and find some where the patients who have undergone the operation tell their side of the story. There *are* such sites but you have to dig pretty deep to find them but isn’t your life and well being worth the effort? There are many, many actions you can do for yourself to help with your condition of acid reflux. I have no medical training but I speak from personal experience. I was diagnosed with a hiatal hernia (hh) in 1975. For 20 years I controlled the acid reflux by altering my lifestyle, being careful what and when I ate, taking over-the-counter antacids and Zantac 150 mg. as needed. I did pretty good until 1996 when I took early retirement. My lifestyle changed for the worse and my acid reflux rapidly got worse until my esophagus was so tender I couldn’t hardly eat anything. The food just wouldn’t go down the esophagus. I was down to eating cold cereal with milk only and was losing weight rapidly. I was right on the verge of calling a surgeon to make an appointment to have the Laparoscopic Nissen Fundoplication operation done. I honestly thought it was the only way to save my life. Just before I made the call to the surgeon, I decided to educate myself as much as possible about the acid reflux and see if there was anything I could do for myself by lifestyle changes and through alternative medicine. Luckily I discovered there were many lifestyle changes I could do very easily and some alternative medicine I could try. First, let me say that when it comes to the digestive system and in fact the whole body, mind and spirit there is *nothing* absolute. What may work for me may not work for you and vice versa. And what may work for me one day may not work the next day. Your health is a continually, changing, balancing act and lots of things you do everyday can have an adverse reaction on your health, especially acid reflux. For example, I’ll bet many people do exactly like I did for years and immediately after supper, normally the largest meal, head for the nearest recliner and sit back to watch TV for a while. It took me years to understand that that simple act can cause acid reflux to be much worse than if you went for a small walk after supper. It’s explained very simply. If you are walking, your esophagus is in a vertical position and gravity helps keep the acid down in your stomach where it should be but if you recline or lay back even a very small degree, the acid in your stomach splashes up and comes in contact with your lower esophagus spinchter muscle (LES). The acid coming in contact with your LES causes it, the LES, to become weakened and inturn allow the acid to reflux up into your esophagus. This weakening of the LES can take days, months and even years and happens so gradually that most people don’t notice the problem until your esophagus becomes tender, sore or even ulcerated. This is sometimes called esophagitis (spelling??). And of course as some people point out many times (which is good but as I read this list every day, it does get tiring after a while) acid reflux can become serious and life threatening since continuous reflux can cause the esophagus to change to Barretts Esophagus which can become cancerous. Even your posture while eating can affect acid reflux. If you slouch, the way most people do, when eating you will have more acid reflux. Slouching causes a pressure to be placed agains your LES and can cause the LES to fail to close properly. Sitting up straight can help. Now, since this condition (sore, tender or ulcerated esophagus) happened over many days, months or even years, it will probably take days, months or even a year or more to allow your LES to heal itself by keeping the acid reflux away from the LES by simply taking a walk after your meals rather than sitting in a recliner or slouching down in any chair. Surprisingly, just this one simple act can help a lot of people with acid reflux. Raising the head of your *bed frame* from ten to fifteen inches will also help tremendously. I have slept with the head of my bed frame raised ten inches for over ten years and it is the one thing that has helped with my reflux problem more than anything else. Some people say that just propping your head up with pillows or a foam wedge will work also but I strongly disagree with this. By just propping your head up, you do put your esophagus at a more vertical alignment but you also put more pressure on your stomach, LES and the diaphragm that separates your chest from your abdomen area. It’s my opinion that this added pressure in that area hinders your LES from closing as tightly as possible without the added pressure. Now, I remind you that what works for me may not work for you and vice versa but as you will see, trying to control acid reflux is a balancing act that a lot of seemingly small things can have an affect on. Raising the head of your bed seems a small price to pay to me to help control the acid reflux. I’m married and my wife and I sleep in the same bed. I really prefer the raised head of the bed to a flat bed now and raising the head of the bed doesn’t cause any major problems. We do slightly slide down the bed during the night as we toss and turn but it is real simple to slide back up and of course if you don’t toss and turn, you probably won’t slide down. When I first raised the head of my bed, I used books stacked on the floor. The books kept falling down occasionally so I finally had a metal frame made just for this purpose. Works great. Only cost about $78.00. Well worth every penny spent. But, before I go any further, let’s go back to the operation, the Laparoscopic Nissen Fundoplication,  you are considering and let me in layman’s terms try to explain what the surgeon is planning to do. Basically, he is going to wrap the upper part of your stomach ( the part of your stomach that has pooched up from your abdomen into your chest area) around the lower part of your esophagus in an effort to tighten the LES. A few points need to be explained. The esophagus is basically a tube that allows chewed food, both solid and liquid, to pass from your mouth to your stomach. The LES is suppose to be a one-way valve that is suppose to allow food and liquids to travel in one way only. Occasionally, the LES does open the opposite way (it really doesn’t open the ‘opposite’ way, this is just the easiest way to explain it to you) to allow gas to escape from your stomach. That is when you burp. And very importantly, if you ever eat bad food, poisoned or spoiled, or anything that needs to come backup, the LES opens to allow you to vomit. If a person has had the Laparoscopic Nissen Fundoplication performed almost everyone agrees that you cannot vomit. You have to dig real deep to get anyone to admit this. Further, if you can find an honest surgeon he/she will tell you that when they first started doing the Laparoscopic Nissen Fundoplication several years ago, the surgeons did a ‘full wrap’ meaning the stomach was wrapped fully around the esophagus. Later, experience showed the surgeons  that a full wrap didn’t work for some people, especially with anyone who had trouble swallowing. The full wrap caused more problems than it helped. Then the surgeons started to experiment with partial wraps. Some stomach wraps were wrapped around the stomach only 90%, 80%, 70%, 60% or whatever the surgeon thought was appropriate for the patient. And as many patients discovered, this is not an exact science. So some patients had problems because the wrap was too tight or it didn’t help because it was too loose. You might ask your prospective surgeon what percent wrap he/she plans to do on you and why. Might be interesting to hear what his/her reasoning was in making that decision. Another problem with the Laparoscopic Nissen Fundoplication operation is fairly easy to see if you stop and think about it. The surgeon is trying to replace a ‘muscle’, remember the lower esophagus spinchter muscle (it’s the same type spinchter muscle at your anus) or LES, with a piece of your stomach wrapped around your esophagus. Now, the ‘muscle’ instinctively knows when to open or close. There is no way a part of your stomach can know when to open or close.  Whatever position the surgeon sews your stomach wrap around your esophagus, will remain the same. There isn’t going to be any … read more »

Ah, yes.  Understood. However, it is much better to grieve those things than to grieve for your life. Gentle as you go, Marny

Moses here: I hope you are on a better drug than Zantac, now! As certainly you… well almost…. are. A PPI drug is what an F-16 is to an early biplane. Examples of PPI drug brand names here in the States are Prilosec, Prevacid & Aciphex. It doesn’t look like you are getting flamed by anything other than stomach acid. Thank you for the nice posting.

Propulsid and Motility

Question:

Hi everybody, I want to report that Prevacid has been a Godsend for me. I have been suffering from acid reflux for 15 years taking OTC meds and antacids and having bouts of severe reflux when I forget. Now with Prevacid, no more acid reflux at all, just reflux. I can eat anything I want without fear of having heartburn. The down side of this is some old habits are coming back and am eating more of my beloved foods like chocolate, etc and gaining weight. Anyway went from 30 mg to 15 mg dosage and works great. I just had an upper GI done and they found that the stomach is not emptying like it should. So now they gave me Propulsid 20mg to help with motility. Why is there not enough motility? You would think they would do a lower GI to see if there was on obstacle or blockage. What can I expect with Propulsid? The doc said I have a small HH and if meds can’t get a handle on this reflux then surgery may be the best option. Why do I need to correct my reflux if there is no acid problems anymore? Is there something that can go wrong if reflux is left to go? Like I said before I still notice the reflux especially when laying on left side, but it is not painful or obtrusive in anyway. Oh, I had a H-pylori test today and it was negative. Fritz

Response:

     Fritz, the one thing I worry about with Prevacid or Propulsid, is that these drugs havent had 30 yrs or so of testing to see what they will do to your system in the long run..      As for the causes of Motility problems and gastric emptying problems,, which are basically in the same boat, they are both movement problems. My doctor really doesnt seem to have any answers.      Here are some theories Ive heard for motility problems, but these are all the ideas of others.   1. Vitamin Deficiencies ( diet)   2. IBS-IBD-COLITIS (various other                                  diseases)   3. Nervous Gut (brain-bowel connection)   4.Allergies ( Wheat-milk-etc)   5.Genetics   6. Hiatus Hernia ( but most say it doesnt                             have much of an effect                             on anything)
