Are my pins and needles, congestion and heartburn related to my pernicious anaemia?
HI. I have been diagnosed with P.A. for 13 years. My only initial symptom was tiredness but as my father also had P.A. I was tested and found to have low B12 levels and antibodies to parietal cells and have since been on 3 monthly injections. I now also test positive for antibodies to intrinsic factor

Stomach Issues
I just read that Zantac and
Pepcid
decrease half of stomach acid while drugs like Prilosec destroy all stomach acid. Take Neupro and Azilect Isradipine Lisinipril as well. Advice anyone?

Proton pump inhibitors (PPI's) and the risk of vitamin and mineral deficiency: evidence and clinical implications

It is some 5 years old but remains the most comprehensive summary of evidence-based data. Owing to rising concerns several

Positive Pepsin test
Hi all Received a positive Pepsin test today from an online company, which said I had high levels of Pepsin in my salvia in the last week. I've been on esomeperzole since July last year and nortriptyline (for esophageal dysmobility) since early last year too. All of my tests so far (and I've been thoroughly

New Thyroid Results - Need Advice
Hello all, I had blood work done yesterday (full panel thyroid and ferritin). I have scheduled an appointment with my new doctor next week regarding the test results. What do you guys think? My TSH has jumped from 5.5 last year to 9 this year! I definitely feel like I am running on fumes. I still haven't

GASTRIC ACID REFLUX - We're getting there
I am posting the advice sheet issued by the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Birmingham, Speech and Language Department because it is the first instance I have found which explicitly acknowledges LPR or Silent Reflux together with the role of Pepsin, as distinct from Acid. Remember that this is issued to 'ordinary

GASTRIC ACID REFLUX - Is it HCL, is it Pepsin, is it Bile and what about PPIs?
Here is a learned scientific paper in it's entirety ( minus the references -available on request); which is not too indigestible. It is by far the best publication I have located on this life or death subject. I recommend ploughing all the way through as it will radically change your understanding of

GASTRIC ACID REFLUX - What's so difficult?

Not your normal reflux
Hello...Sorry..this is a long ramble, My 13 year old had reflux as a baby and toddler but it seemed to just right itself. Now, for the past almost 2 years, he'd terrible sore throats when laying down and in the mornings, difficulty breathing and rhinitis symptoms..plus he's lost weight. For ages he was

HCL - advice please
I have PA and Hashimotos. I knew that I would have low or no HCL because of the PA but only read recently that Hashi's also caused low HCL. I have bought some HCL with pepsin but not yet taken any. I wondered if you should just take the capsule(s) with your evening/main meal, and also if you should take

REFLUX COUGH - Bile
Do you have a productive cough and the sputum looks like this? The orangey colour is caused by Bilirubin pigment in Bile. It indicates that the Pyloric/the Lower and the Upper Oesophageal Sphincters are not functioning correctly and are allowing material from the Duodenum up into the Stomach and thence

Betaken and Pepsin
I have read an article advising Hashimotos patients to take Betaine and Pepsin with protein meals. The writer said she regained a lot of energy because most Hashimotos patients have low stomach acid and taking these helped with digestion thereby saving energy. what do you think?

Hashimoto's Gut (Supplements)
Anyone ever tried Betain HCI with Pepsin to support the gut in Hashimoto's? I've done some research myself. Apparently a very good supplement to try with digestive support. Any one tried and can provide testimony on its benefits and symptom relief? I'd like to try but really not sure if my stomach

Vitamins and supplements beating hcl and selenium
Hi all, following my last post regarding being diagnosed with Hashi I am on Lansoprazole 60mg daily, I have silent LPR acid in throat, not your usual heartburn symptoms. I understand that Hashi reduces stomach acid so couldn't understand why I am on Lansoprazole as well. I have reduced the dose down

Digestive Enzymes
Hi all, Love all the care, information and support here at Health Unlocked. Brilliant! Does anyone take digestive enzymes (like Pepsin, Betaine hydrochloride) or apple cider vinegar to help sore tummies with any success? Or are we not supposed to? Ta.

IF Antibody test back - so what next
Following up on my previous posts (low B12, started on B12 loading shots - had second today so too early to tell results on symptoms) Finally got my IF antibody test back today Results: 2.9 U/mL (Normal: < 6 U/mL) I'm aware of the inherent reliability of the test (40-60%) so realise that it doesn't
