Just had bravo ph

Had my endo with bravo ph yesterday, much easier with the sedation, no probs at all. Just got to wait for the results now, ive got the monitor on for next 4 days.

Thecamera did show some candida on the throat (thrush i guess). It wasnt much, i assume due to lots of abs last year. Oct to Dev I had 5 weeks of Clarythromicin and 2 weeks of Doxy, i always take probiotics but I guess it csn still happen. Doesnt seem to cause me any probs but I'll discuss it with dr wen i see him.

Other than that my stomach was all fine, gonna see soon how much acid i have.

The saga continues.....

Thanks, it was so much easier with the sedation. Gosh wish i could take some home, how lovely that would be to have some before bed. Looking forward to getting my results.

Bit miffed about the candida but i assume itll either clear up or we can treat it, obviously wasnt too bad or the specialist wouldve talked about it.

Well done you Shancock, having had a few under sedation I'm pleased for you. I believe sugar feeds the candida so you may want to cut it out for a bit. When I had it I had to cut out everything sweet including all fruit for three months. My goodness, did I feel well!

Oh right, i didnt know that I have got a sweet tooth!

I assume its due to antibiotics? I had about 6 weeks of it at the end of last year and had quite a bit of Salbutamol too. Its on the oesophagus so i didnt even know. I take probiotics everyday but it obviously didnt help.
