      Hello😊 I actually did not have Barrett’s although my dad did. My Reflux was SO severe that they thought it would be a great idea and it was causing other concerning esophagus issues. I was so young as well and on my PPI for such a long time that they thought this would be the best option. Although it wasn’t a cure all it did help immensely~So diet, lifestyle modifications, surgery and most importantly Jesus healed me🙏 I’ve been off my PPI now for 3 years and you wouldn’t even believe I’m the same person! If you have any questions at all about the surgery or reflux I would be happy to help if possible❤️

      Thanks for reaching out~ the only thing that they ended up finding were some clusters of atypical cells that could possibly be problematic in the future. I’m thankful though that there is no cancer right now🙏 I pray that will be the same for you as well! Their suggestion was to make sure to do ultrasounds every 6 months and they didn’t really put a time limit on that~I suppose it’s going to depend. Also they suggested if I would like to do breast MRI’s every couple years~they said that it is the gold standard for detection but can be very expensive and a lot of insurance companies won’t cover it unless absolutely necessary. I will definitely be sending prayers your way. Please reach out with an update if you like or if you have any more questions.

But if you would like to grow your channel I thought of recommending to you to pray about doing a focused channel on acid reflux friendly recipes. I have not seen that kind of channel on youtube, if so, they are few. I think it would be successful. God Bless You 🙏💗

I look back over the 10 years that I was very sick with reflux and now I can see where His hand was moving little by little and how He took such great care of me the entire time. When you are right in the midst of it though it’s hard and I’ll definitely be praying❤️‍🩹 I’m sorry your daughter struggles with reflux~my son suffers really bad with acid reflux as well. I’m going to be making another video soon on reflux it will probably be very long..lol but I hope it will help! Reach out ANYTIME and please watch some more of my reflux videos that I already have out on different procedures I pray they will help. Sending healing prayers your way! Hugs!🫂

    Did you ever see a significant or slight weight gain on the PPI as a side effect??

    • @healthhopewithhelen2905
      @healthhopewithhelen2905 Місяць тому

      Great Question~ I think it can be a side effect even though people rarely discuss it. I did not gain weight on it but I know some do- I think it just depends. My diet was so bland and simple that I was having a hard time keeping weight on at times. I have a lot of friends and family that take PPIs and they still are able to have and maintain a very regular diet so I would have to check with them and see their thoughts. I know sometimes I did bloat and have a hard time digesting food which was very uncomfortable.

      @@RayRayakaRachel I will ask for sure and let you know❤️ I would absolutely love to pray for your healing🙏 I believe 💯 in the power of prayer and I have seen God first hand answer my prayers. I truly wish people could see how sick I was and how much I went through but how God healed me. I also think it’s important to mention though that it wasn’t overnight- it was a 10+ year healing journey, but now I’m grateful that I can talk about it and help others to have hope too! I have now been off of my PPI for over 3 years after being on them for 10 years..so really it’s a miracle. I had a GI doctor told me once that I would be on my PPI forever as well and I remember thinking to myself no way😳 I plan on making a follow up video to this one soon and talking about my experience once again and how life has been over the last three years since coming off. I completely agree with you stress and diet are huge~let’s just say my diet was as bland as can possibly be for a very long time but I am happy to say it isn’t anymore even though I still have to behave a bit. I know when I came off of my PPI I did the every other day thing which I think helped. I had a doctor tell me if you can come off of it for 21 days you should be over the hill-that always kind of stuck in my head. I would love to answer any more questions you might have so please feel free to message me with more. Also I will let you know after I do a little asking around on your question you had. Sending healing vibes your way! Also, you had mentioned you had ulcers have you ever had to drink that medication that coats your tummy but allows the time to heal?!

      Hello!☺️ So sorry to hear you are struggling~it’s so hard! Well it definitely wasn’t over night/it took a series of years and several failed attempts but I’m officially 3 years PPI free now and doing well🙌🏻 I made another video Coming Off of PPI is Possible and several reflux videos-check then out if you like🩷 I do believe I was able to come off because my body was finally healed and ready. I had the Nissan Fundoplication surgery which I do believe helped immensely but I still had to take a PPI 5 years post surgery just a lower dose went from 40mg to 20mg a day. It got to a point where I could just tell It was time to try again and I did and today I’m doing great. It really is a miracle and answer to many prayers🙏I had a Dr tell me the best way to come off is to eat a very bland diet and slowly come off..every other day and then every two days etc. He told me if you can get past that 21 day mark you are on your way. I didn’t take any meds to help with coming off but I know some use over the counter antacids while weaning. I feel like those kind of things always made it worse for me including a lot of the natural remedies~almost personally made it worse for me at times. Less is more for me. Maybe even try lessening your dose if able~ I did this post surgery and believe it was a good place to start. Also you might want to check with your GI specialist and see about running some more tests to figure out the underlying causes if you haven’t already done so. I have many videos about other tests as well that might help. I appreciate you reaching out and please feel free to ask any questions I would love to help and answer them if possible!

    Funny enough water makes mine way worse, if I drink it I pay for it plus I hate it, yes ofcourse I know it's good for us but if you could see my face while I'm drinking it it would scare you. Right now I'm in the spot where I'm good with one PPI every 3 days then the torture starts again. Like you none of the remedies work for me and I stopped alcohol 5 years ago but that didn't make any difference. I think at my age now I'll just have to happy with the one day on and two days off. I do have one coffee a day and a very small piece of dark chocalate but in general I've changed my diet dramatically. Maybe I'll give the 21 days a shot like you did and see what happens. Anyway it's great to hear that you've beaten it!

      Hello😊 Yessss…water can definitely cause reflux! I have had to become water snob!lol It has to be very cold and I try to drink Fiji and Aquavista which is very good-bright blue bottle. I don’t know if tooth paste gives you reflux but if so try the Sensodyne Pro-enamel gentle whitening alpine breeze-truly a game changer. I love that your dietary changes have helped-I know that’s been key for me too! I only do one coffee a day as well-it works best for me in the morning. I like that we both still treat ourselves but have to put a limit on it. It’s better than nothing though, right?! God has right me through all of this to appreciate the big and small things while he works!🙏 My mom also takes a PPI a few times if week and has for over 25 years~she is super healthy and has had no issues. I think at this point it’s more preventative and to keep any mild reflux away. She was never a severe reflux sufferer though that would have been my dad. Thanks so much for sharing your story with me and I hope you are able to just continue to feel well and have a great quality of life🙏🩷 It really is amazing how God healed me you would be truly shocked had you seen me 10 years ago vs today-He is so good! Please reach out again anytime-even if I could help with a simple reflux questions I’d be happy to!

It worked well for me but coming off of it was a rough 3 weeks. And the hot flashes came back. I just went on progesterone pills and estradiol cream. I'm a little over 1 month in and doing better. Sleeing better too. I started with menapause symptoms 4 yrs ago and I'm really ready to be done with it😅 My dr also said it could take 7 to 10 years! I'm glad you are feeling well! I think you made it through the storm!!

      Thank you so much for sharing your story🩶 Yes it was definitely a long time to be on HRT-that’s why I am in absolute shock that I’m doing so well🙏🏻! I’m really sorry to hear you had a rough 3 weeks~I did struggle as well for a bit especially after my surgery in 2012😕 I’m so glad to hear that the pills and cream are helping you and you are a month in-that’s great news! I have heard really good things about the estradiol cream. Well let’s just hope and pray your Dr is at least wrong about the 7 to 10 years and it’s over before you know it!lol😅 God speed right! Glad you are back to sleeping comfortably too~things seem to be going in the right direction!

I’m not sure what I will do if I start experiencing symptoms~ however sounds like some people have a really good results with the creams?! I’m hoping to stay off it now but I plan on talking to my Dr at my next annual appt in October by then I should really know what my body is doing🙏🏻 I hope your biopsy results turn out okay. Please keep me posted on if you decide to try any new HRT and how it works!

I actually looked it up recently to see if that was common so I’m happy to hear you are experiencing that as well!

    I have done the same as you but symptoms have come back for me about 5 -6 weeks. Mostly dryness. But I am going back on the creams mostly because of the need for heart health, dementia, bone health. Dr. Felice Gersh is very knowledgeable in this field. Hope things continue great for you. But if not go listen to Dr Gersh.

I’m definitely going to do a follow up video~because I’m curious as well to see how my body is doing in 6-12 months from now too🙏🏻 Hope your body continues to heal and that the cream works great for you!

    There is a fantastic book, "Bottle of Lies" and describes what you are talking about with generics. Our current pres claims he can bring prescription prices down; this is not true at all - he is merely easily allowing substituting harmful generics for drugs that worked. Please give update.

    • @healthhopewithhelen2905
      @healthhopewithhelen2905 4 місяці тому

      Hello! I would love to give you a few suggestions on things that work for me! So exercise for me is pretty simple-I love to walk daily! So whether it’s outside, at the gym or light hiking that’s what works for me~Usually about 45-60 mins. It definitely helps with food digestion too. My GI specialist suggested early on to always try to eat at least 3 hrs before laying down or even possibly longer if you can. I also bought an adjustable bed over 10 years ago-best purchase I ever made~This way I can sleep upright. You can try acid reflux pillows too if you aren’t wanting to buy a bed👍 Diet was huge for me to come off of my PPI and still is. I definitely try to eat before 5:00. I do well with chicken, turkey, fish cheese, eggs, cucumbers, white sauces, noodles, cooked veggies-carrots, asparagus, squash(no cauliflower, broccoli etc gassy veggies)creamy soups,(lots of yummy recipes)tortilla chips, homemade guacamole, greens, homemade ranch dressing, sandwiches, cheese quesadillas. I love tortilla chips the rest usually give me reflux. Water matters but quality if you can. I do stay away from carbonation, melted butter, some types of dairy, acidic fruits, French fries, basically spicy anything, lots of sugar, (cookies,cake, ice cream) pork chops, sausage, chocolate and the list goes on. I can eat a tiny bit of spicy here and there but I have to be super careful especially the time of day. Earlier the better!🙏🏻 I start my day with a Vanilla Boost to get my vitamins! I do have some other videos that you can check out-they are a little older but I do plan on making another Reflux video soon! I would be happy to help in any way possible. Praying you are able to come off of your PPI soon! If it doesn’t happen the first time keep trying-I’m now 3 years PPI free and will be making a video on that soon!🙌🏻

      Congratulations~That is So Amazing!🙌🏻 Once I got past the 2 weeks it gradually continued to get better and better~praying that will be the case for you. Pepcid AC was something that worked for me as well before I had ever started my PPI~My Dr said it’s relatively one of the safer ones to use too~he even recommended it while I was pregnant and suffering with reflux. Please let me know how it continues to go. I’m sure a lot of people would love to hear as well as we are all needing hope and to hear that even though it’s not easy to come off it is possible! Thank you and I’m so happy for you!

      Hello! Thanks for watching this video. I did have the Anti-reflux Nissan Fundoplication surgery in 2015. It was definitely somewhat effective but even so I was still on PPI’s for another several years post surgery. After several failed attempts to come off I finally felt like my body was ready to about 3 years ago. So I have officially been off them for 3 years now🙏🏻🙌🏻!! If you have any more questions please reach out and I would be happy to answer them if possible. I have many more videos on reflux and I’m also going to be making a video on being PPI free for 3 years very soon.

      Honestly it only last a couple weeks and it really was bearable. I did have some gas and bloating but took Gas-X when needed. I know that there are a lot of natural things that have worked for others to come off of it but usually that kind of stuff makes it worse for my reflux. I just knew my body was finally ready-I could just tell. I had several failed attempts coming off it before this last time for good so don’t get discouraged. 🙏🏻 Most important thing is to eat as bland as humanely possible for at least a few weeks-I had a Dr tell me if you get past the 21 day mark I should be good and he was right! Praying you are able to come off of it soon. Please continue to reach out if I can help in any way.
