My stomach acid is so hosed up that if I don't take Omeprazole daily it inflames my esophagus to the point where I can't eat properly. Food gets stuck in my throat, and I have to puke and start over. It feels like you are loving drowning on food and drink.

gently caress the VA.

Get a colonoscopy, get a gastroscopy, get whatever it takes if you can get it. If you have an eosinophilic esophagitis, you'll want to know and do something about it as soon as humanely possible. Usual treatments with omeprazole aren't supposed to exceed 12 months at dosages of 20mg per day or 6 months at 40mg per day, no idea how long you've been on it or on what dosage.

Stay on it too long without taking care of the cause of whatever it is that you have, you'll end up needing to ramp up the dosage and after a few years, you'll be up to quadruple the usual dosage per day and you won't be able to get off it. First 6-12 hours off, you'll get heartburn without even having meals, next 12 hours off you'll be guzzling down water just to keep the stomach acid diluted and flush your throat. After that, you'll start throwing up even plain ol' water and blood.

Meanwhile, the increased dosage over the years fucks with your system to the point where blowing liquid poo poo out your rear end is your primary form of taking a dump.


Staying on small doses of omeprazole for the rest of your life against basic heart burn is perfectly doable, but when there's something more complicated causing the heart burn or more severe symptoms (like yours), get your poo poo looked at.

Also, you get to take a hard black thing up the pooper, so...let 'er rip, boner.

Looks like someone's getting a fundoplication surgery someday. If you're lucky they won't have to shove a huge dildo balloon down your esophagus every few months afterwards to keep it from shrinking down and closing off.

At least it works. Prilosec made everything in my stomach go loving crazy. The many joys of IBS. I suppose I could have Crohns, I never bothered to get the colonoscopy to find out since it's fairly manageable so long as I avoid an ever growing list of different foods.

Hope you get your issue sorted out though, I dont wish gut problems on anyone.

If you think you have Crohns you need to see a doctor about it. That poo poo is nothing to fool around with :(

Delizin posted:

If you haven't already done it, there is some kind of blood test to rule out Crohns too. If I recall what the doctor told me correctly, it is a dna test and if you don't have a specific gene then you can't have Crohns. If you do have the gene then they can do further testing like the colonoscopy to see if you have it. You can also just try a gluten free diet for awhile and see if it makes you feel any better.

Hmmm I didn't know about the blood test. Figures the military doctor wouldn't say anything about it. Gluten free made no difference for me. Sadly the diet that works best is never eating too much of any one food and avoiding things with lots of spices or fat i.e. everything I love. Also yogurt, that stuff is miraculous.

Nostalgia4Infinity posted:

I suppose although I'm not convinced I have it. I've known a few people with Crohns and it's loving horrific. What I have is incredibly mild compared to them and I still have only ever had one symptom occur twice (being woken up by intestinal pain) everything else is pretty typical of IBS.

Got a dude in my unit who has Crohn's disease and is getting med board.

He was a whiny oval office before hand and it certainly hasn't helped that now, despite the fact that his is very, very mild. He also totally believes that 9/11 was perpetrated by the government and that HIV is a weaponized virus because he saw a documentary on it. He also makes everyone he deals with life a misery because he's got Crohn's disease and everyone should be an expert in it even though he thinks he got it from MREs, or possibly a government conspiracy because he has heard of 2 other people on Benning having it. In other words I hope his Crohn's kills him by making his rear end in a top hat fall out in a horrible, painful way, and I get to watch his agonizing death.

Sorry about things getting put up you guy's butts though.

If you eat street food in the middle east you're borderline retarded. There's a reason you're taking doxy every day and they tell you not to eat or drink anything from the locals.

You'll probably just get a shot of Midazolam or something similar. Makes you sleepy and give less of a gently caress, but you won't be straight out. If you're anything like me and don't exactly have the gag-reflex of a roadside ladyboy in Phuket, there's a chance you'll wake right up in the middle of the procedure and wretch like a motherfucker while they try to calm you down and continue the procedure because pulling out the scope and starting all over again would be more complicated since they can't give you a second shot of midazolam in short order.

First time I had a gastroscopy done, I woke up in the middle of it choking and flailing my arms wildly, caught the 15-year-old intern right on the button because they didn't consider putting restraints on a 260lbs dude before forcing black phallic objects down his throat.

Oh, and a side-effect of midazolam outside of making you all groggy is a complete failure to remember anything within the next couple of hours after the shot so get one of your not-so-rape-vibey friends to drive you.

First time I got a shot of midazolam, a friend picked me up afterwards and, because I said I still needed to grab some groceries, figured it'd be okay to just drop me off at the store around the corner, surely i'd be able to make my way back no problem. Woke up with a fridge full of roughly 120 bucks worth of poo poo and no recollection of buying, let alone needing it in the first place.

4 pounds of meat, 3 pounds of black tiger prawns, a year's supply of loving sugar and flour, obscene amounts of canned goods, baby wipes, air freshener, about 200 yards of aluminum foil, soy milk, countless cans of deodorant, etc....felt like a metrosexual doomsday prepper ran wild or something.

Keep in mind that almost the entirety of the poo poo was crammed into the fridge.
Yes, canned food, babywipes and all.
