Gerd

Questions
Doctors

GERD. It has been on and off since 2008. The condition worsened last month in Jan 2013 and I could hardly swallow any solid food. It just gets stuck in the throat and feel like I am choking till I push the food down with water. Liquids and semi solid foods are ok. The doctors did Nasal Endoscopy, Normal Gastro Endoscopy, Esopheagal Manometry, Barium Swallow X-Ray and all tests came up normal. I was told the swallowing problem is primarily related to GERD and I was advised Cintapro 1 mg tablet for 1 month. So far as I take the tablet, I am able to take in selected solid foods fine, but not all foods. If I do not take this tablet for one day, the problem recurrs back. Question 1: How long will this motility disorder be related to GERD ? Question 2: Are there any side effects of taking this Cintapro 1 mg to help in motility on a long term basis (Say if I need to take this for some more time) Questionj 3: Are there any other tests that will show the proper reason for this motility disorder of the esophaegus (Apart from Esopheagal Manometry, Gastro Endoscopy, Barium Swallow X-Ray) etc.

GERD will persist but the effect can be decreased by life style modification like good brisk walk for 40 mins, avoiding fat, consuming more curd and buttermilk rather than milk and keeping a gap of 2 hrs between food and sleep. Cintpro is by and large relatively safe drug for long term use till now. We need to see the reports of existing tests before we proceed with further tests Stress has significant role in symptoms so please be relaxed. ...

But since 3-4 months i feel that these drugs are not longer more effective then before... Now i need to take it daily otherwise next day i feel to much burn in stomuch and bad test and smell in salvia.... Also burning with bowl movement and yes constipation is there.

Hi, Since you mentioned you are having these symptoms over the period of 10 years, that is since the age of 22 years. long standing and drug resistant GERD has its own complications. An endoscopy to rule out hiatus hernia and to asses grade of GERD will be helpful to decide if you need a surgical correction for avoiding the long term complications for any further queries you can contact us at *********@*****.com ...

I'm 34yrs old. I'm a GERD patient. My last endoscopy and colonoscopy were done two years ago. The results were normal. Two years ago I had anaemia due to Vitamin B12deficiency. But for the last few months I have been losing weight and my rbc level is 7.My recent stool test results show 4to5 Rbc /hpf and 3to4 pus cell /hpf but no visible blood. Why I am losing my weight?

hello, anemia due to Vit B12 deficiency is a common problem Did you take Vit B12 supplementations ? If not kindly get your Vit B12 levels done. if those levels are normal , we might need to few more tests or and endoscopy to see if anemia is due to blood loss or any other reason If you need any futher help , feel free to contact us *********@*****.com ...
