I have acid reflux and am taking lansoprazole. I have had barium meal and endoscopy which showed nothing of significance. I am losing weight week by week and am now under seven stone.
I have a doctors appointment next week but just wondered if anyone else has had this and what resolved it. I feel like I am just withering away.
Thanks
I am having it now. Lost a stone in 5 weeks with no effort. On 2ww for non specific site cancer. You're doing the right thing by seeing the doctor. Sorry this is happening to you too, I know how distressing it is.
yes thank you. I have just had a scan so I don’t think it is cancer. It’s really frightening.
Yes I did , initially I cut out most trigger foods and changed diet ,I found it distressing how much weight came off triggering health anxiety,weight back on as I eat quite normally at times, although reflux still there in background at times depending on certain triggers
I had gastritis and lost an alarming amount of weight (I had no appetite and food made me feel nauseous). I've been on PPIs for a year and they have helped with my reflux, but I still have frequent swallowing difficulties, as if my oesophagus is narrowed (effect ofthe acid?). I try to eat frequently during the day, every hour or so - sometimes it's healthy food like bananas and sometimes cake! Anything that's easy to swallow, I just want to get more calories. Also milky drinks like hot chocolate, though I know chocolate is not good for reflux. I've accepted that it's going to be a long journey to regain weight - my weight loss happened a year ago - and every half pound is a win . I'm also well under 7 stone so I understand your worry. Like you also, an endoscopy showed nothing alarming so I hold on to that.
Acid Reflux - what else can I do?
Please can someone help, I’m so tired and just need answers
