Bad Breath Halitosis Forum

Hello all! I really like my new surgeon. He agrees that I don't have nutcracker esophagus. I don't have a problem with chest pain or food getting stuck in my esophagus. I told him I have difficulty swallowing on occasions but it is my throat inflammation that is the problem, not my esophagus. You ar...

Iva, Believe me....I was surprised when I tested negative for H. Pylori too! I wonder if I did have it before but it was killed off prior to my test. I had been on Nexium and antibiotics for a while when I was tested. I had the blood test and a biopsy when they did my endoscopy. Both were negative. ...

Well, Monday's appt didn't go so well. Arrrggg! Sometimes I just want to bang my head against a wall! I am seeing a different surgeon tomorrow. The surgeon I saw on Monday is baffled by my manotry from the PH monitoring. It showed elevated pressures between my distal and proximal esophagus. So they ...

Deebas,

I have never tried those drugs. I tested negative for H. Pylori...

Yay Mindy! Iva, I am going to see the surgeon later today. I will let you know what comes of it. I get more and more convinced each day that the bile is the real problem for me so I will likely end up doing both surgeries. My stomach has been giving me TONS of problems in the past few days. It just ...

Mindy, I am so happy you are calling the doctor tomorrow.. I really hope this is your answer. That's the right attitude..be persistent with your doctor. Like I've said before...many of them are clueless when it comes to bile reflux. Remember to ask him for a script for Carafate in addition to the pp...

Mindy, I reflux acid and bile.. Many people have acid reflux and do not have the problem we have. This has made me come to the conclusion that the bile is what causes the bb, not so much the acid. What the acid did for me was cause my sense of smell to go haywire...the ppi's did not eliminate the ho...

Hi Tired, I'm not surprised that they described the smell as sewage. Many times I actually tasted sewage. As a matter of a fact I got into an argument with one of the bb doctors assistants. She asked me to describe the taste in my mouth and I said "Sewage". She said sewage is NOT a taste!!...

Iva, I haven't tried that drug. I will ask my doctor about it. My doctor is convinced that the bile is effecting me more than the acid. This is the same doctor who initially told me that it was "impossible" to have Bile reflux when I suggested it to him. I think my case has educated him a ...
