This is really serious but God is the Master healer!
COMPLICATIONS ARISING FROM OVER MEDICATION?......
Hello Madam Stella. How is the family? My Name Is Tolu , I am one of the addicted readers of your blog and I would like to tell you you are doing a great job. May GOD continue to bless you.
I have a health concern and I want you to please post on the blog probably on the Doctor's Inhouse Section. Believe me, I have gone to see Doctors but I guess I just haven't found the right doctor who understands me.
The problem started last year June, I had Diarrhea, I took Metromidazole and the other Red and Yellow capsule while eating a little quantity of food but it did not stop. I kept on visiting the toilet for about 5days and that's when the worst Happened, i became dehydrated and nearly went into shock.
My Mum's Late and am the first Child, my younger ones were in school. Someone Rushed me to a local clinic and without really asking me much, they started flooding my system with drips. I took about 24bags of Drip all containing antibiotics, according to the doctor, i was being treated for typhoid, malaria, worms and Peptic Ulcer.
I became really weak, Dizzy and was having palpitations. My Dad wasn't around, he traveled bak, and took me to a general hospital when he saw how weak i was, those ones couldn't do anything cos I'd taken too much drugs and all. However, there were concerns about my BP and pulse rate as i was only 22. So, i went to check my heart,they said slight tachycardia or something and so the doctor placed me on antenolol, then Xymentin, Aspirin and lots of injections.
I took so many drugs, i can't begin to list here. I was physically weak, and started losing weight. So, again i had to be placed on blood forming drugs that would force me to eat, I started eating like a mad person cos the pain i felt whenever i dont eat was just crazy. however, i had no strength, even after stopping the drugs. I couldn't go out, or face the sunlight. 2months later, i decided to try going out.
It was somehow, but God helped me. I kept trying till i eventually got a job. Gradually, my stamina has been coming back. But there's something remaining, my stomach. It hurts so bad when empty. I have gone to see doctors, nobody wants to listen to the history, they jst wana know what the immediate problem is. They would ask me to touch where hurts, I would touch the centre of my abdomen, and d next is 'you have ulcer.' No test, nothing. I have been scared of drugs, I Av stayed away from even paracetamol.
On my own,I decided to get the H.pylori test done, it was positive but the doctor said the test would always be positive that its jst like Widal test.
Nobody knows my struggle, my colleagues only see me as the girl who always has something to eat in her bag. I have tried my best to live normally, I play, I mingle but my fear lives in me. I fear those drugs have damaged something in me.
Am sorry for the long story. But here are my current symptoms.
- my tummy hurts,( not turns) when I eat late. The pain is consistent in my stomach, just a little below the centre on the ribcage but begins to spread to other parts of my entire abdomen when I eat late. The entire region also feels sore, I dnt allow anyone to touch my abdomen.
- I feel dizzy and shaky when it hurts.
- I get tired easily.
- I dnt like eating but I'm jst doing it to feel ok and as such I keep gaining weight.
I am67kg now. I was only 58kg before the issue started.
I have been on omeprazole for long now, but I am tired. Antacids dnt relieve me of the pain as I expect.
I just wish to hear opinions and possible recommendations. I will be available to answer questions in comments section.
Thank you so much and God bless.
OMG,what could you possibly have?Wey the Docs?
Simple! You have ulcer abeg, taking only omeprazole will nt treat it cos H pylori is a bacteria so u have to combine it with antibiotics Omeprazole 20mg 2ce dly clarithromycin 500mg 2ce dly and Amoxicillin 1g 2ce dly, you have to take it for like 2wks minimum cos ur case seems serious. Treat it fast b4 u start vomiting and/or stooling blood
ReplyDeleteBabe's. ..what u av is peptic ulcer. U need to use the triple therapy as prescribed above but I think u need it for more than 3 weeks. ..being in naija where H pylori is prevalent.
DeleteThe sickness myt av given u some stress ulcers coupled wt the medications u were given while on admission am sure u wl av had a lot of NSAIDS (pain relief).
Anyways...see a doctor if it doesn't work cos then u wl need a camera test (endoscopy) called OGD.
I am a doctor too and believe me av been having a lot of episgastric pain wen Eva I go thru stress...
end of august...I started feeling tired and dizzy at work...I just changed job then and d stress of moving n psychological stress of the new job got to me...Two weeks later I presented to A/E and believe u me my pav dropped to 21%...I av been bleeding subtly all along....I was transfused...later got a bit better. I am seeing the gastroenterology next week and even tho I knw Wat to take (triple therapy), I can't buy the drugs except wen it's prescribed to me, and il probably stl av to do the H pylori test by they commence treatment. And probably camera test after.
In d meanwhile I am on omeprazole.
pls feel free to Increase the dose of ur omeprazole if u stl feel in d pains for now. U can have up to 40mg morn n night. So il say 40mg in the morn and at least 20mg at night until ur symptoms improve.
All the best.
Am just reading dis post and I hope u come back to find my reply helpful. First I was once an ulcer patient(i use was because I believe I won't feel dis kind of terrible pain again) with all u described I believe u have an advanced ulcer which was complicated by aspirin and other pain killers u were given, please see a gastroenetologist to write a bowel endoscopy test for u, commence d tripple therapy and dere is a new but expensive drug called NEXIUM,40mg. Take one tablet twice daily for a week and am sure u wld come and tank me later, also never leave ur tummy empty as it is highly dangerous at dis stage u re now, if u don't want to eat, drink very cold tea or milk, it works. I wish i full recovery. I feel ur pains
DeleteNa wa. The thought of weighing 67kg, I could just go into shock right now. I've been struggling to stay 56 but no way I'm still 58 and there you are calling 58kg just! Oh Lord!
ReplyDeleteI didn't contribute anything at all, i'm not a doctor. Coming back for comments.
How have u helped her now? Why would u weigh more than 58 when u can't afford to eat a proper meal? U better don't die of 'by force fasting'.. silly goat!
Delete@ poster those are typical peptic ulcer symptoms.
DeleteThe aspirin you were given did the damage. You should receive treatment for that H. Pylori, as It's eating through your stomach lining.
I would advise you to go to a teaching hospital and ask to see a Gastroenterologist. That's the specialist who can help you. Pls don't be afraid to give them your full medical history. All the best!
U are extremely daft JayEm. If she's about 5'11 or so like me (I'm a perfect size 8/10) and I weigh JUST 68kg then, she's v okay!
DeleteMay God heal u of this sickness
DeleteTo me it's not ordinary
Please visit Mfm headquarter with a bottle of anointing oil(preferably,buy from the church premises)and ask for any of the deliverance pastor to pray with u and bless the anointing oil,gulp 3capful and and apply some on ur stomach and cry to God,the whole affliction will be a thing of the past In Jesus Name....
I had similar attack and God healed me and from that day till forever,I will never feel that pain again because the word of God says affliction shall not rise a second time.
U must testify!
JayEm, U're sooo stupid for the weight comments!
Delete...and you're all anonymous.
DeleteU R A. FOOL
DeleteOMG........over 2 d doctors.
ReplyDeleteGOD BLESS YOU STELLA, PLEASE MY IMMEDIATE SENIOR SISTER IS 64YEARS OLD AND SHE HAS BEEN USING LEXOTAN 3mg EVERY NIGHT FOR THE PAST 25 YEARS. SHE IS IN GOOD HEALTH, NO HYPERTENSION,NO DIABETIC.BUT WE,( HER SIBLINGS) ARE WORRIED PLEASE DOCTOR IS THERE SIDE EFFECTS?
ReplyDeleteYou are worried for someone that is old already. She's 64 when some people don't even live up to 50
DeleteMy mom had same issues. Leoxotan and Mogadon. She was only able to beat it after she retired. It was a long and ardous struggle. Stress starts it off and before you know, she's dependent on it. Prayers are with you.
DeleteMama tea, your sister has developed drug dependence. She's addicted to it now
DeleteDear poster,
ReplyDeleteI think the H.pylori test and your symptoms is suggestive of ulcer, however you may do a colonoscopy to confirm the presence of ulcer. But the treatment also involves some drug therapy, I suspect you have a phobia for drugs now. Its something called a triple therapy ie 3 drugs at once for about 1 week. Also think of ulcer as an internal wound which will take a while to heal if at all... lifestyle changes should include avoiding carbonated drinks, spicy meals, alcohol, direct or 2nd hand smoking, oily meals etc... also ensure you don't eat late at heavy meals late @ night. finally supplements like probiotics and digestive enzymes may help. Wish you all the best though....
I believe you have ulcer. Your case is very similar to mine.Like 10 years ago, I was feeling dizzy and was rushed to the hospital but instead of conducting a thorough test,the doctor at OAU teaching hospital placed me on a lot of aspirin which damaged my insides.i was also given a lot of drugs for pneumonia. long story short, I almost died before it was discovered that I only had serious malaria and typhoid but the damage had been done. the result is I developed ulcer.all the symptoms you feel is what I went through for years and still go through anytime I don't eat on time.i was placed on Cimedine 200mg twice a day for a whole year. That really helped and still does anytime the pain starts.you can try it.i wish you all the best.
ReplyDeleteU guys need to exchange email and talk well. Perhaps if u stay in the same city, your doctor maybe able to help OP.
DeleteIt is well; m sorry got nothing further to add. I'm mainly on this thread to read comment.
Awww! I pray you get help ASAP..
ReplyDeleteMay God heal you dear
This is so pathethic i dnt really knw what to say. My dear if doctors and drugs fail,try God,he alone has the final say. Pray to God and make positive confessions. The jesus of old is stil the Great Physician. He will heal you
ReplyDeleteYou may have what's called irritable bowel syndrome .
ReplyDeleteOver to the docs in the house. Sorry poster, God will heal u. Amen!
ReplyDeleteEbola.. lol.. eeya pele docki oloye in d house mak una com out oooo
ReplyDeleteYou are daft. How dare you joke with ebola? Insensitive thing.
DeleteJust luk @ dis idiot beggy beggy liar
Delete**pits on bombshell**
Foolishness at its peak. As u wish for this poster,so shall it be for you.

My issue is dat eva since I had quite a terrible cough in 2011 d phlem(mucous) has not left my throat n am sum1 dat find it diff get rid of it by coughing it out. Pls can sum1 prescribe wat I can use...anyone?
ReplyDeleteU can use Augmentin SR. 2 twice daily for 7 days
DeleteWhat she has is ulcer that has entered its advanced stage which is very dangerous at that stage. I hope and pray she gets medical help soon.
ReplyDeleteYour comment will be visible after approval
I can imagine how you feel: feeling ill permanently. So sorry.
ReplyDeleteIf the doctors in the hospitals couldn't sort you out, I doubt the doctors here can help you.
If you can afford it, please seek medical attention abroad.
wow! over to the doctors. I have no prescription on this one
ReplyDeleteIf it is ulcer, use nexium. fast relief. be certain though!
ReplyDeleteMay God heal you, i cant just imagine what you're going through...
ReplyDeleteyou need to see a specialist
ReplyDeleteMy dear, i'm not a doctor but i had similar issue years back. I do not recide in naija though...its ulcer. Try to stay away from peppery food, oily food, if possible coffee and milk. Those things trigger the pain. Don't eat late and..Be strong...eat enough veggies...cut down ur Carbonhydrate intake..u'll be well...
ReplyDeleteMilk trigger ke,doctors tell ulcer patient to drink milk if they cant find food around dem,make una no confuse the lady Ooº°˚ ˚°ºoo abeg talk wetin u know
DeleteAllergies to milk and other dairy products are on the rise nowadays; let's be informed.
DeleteMore worrisome is the inflammatory effects of dairy products due to lactose and all the antibiotics, hormone/ steroid therapy given to cows to boost milk production and reduce growth duration.
Poster, try to reduce intake of anything dairy for now, also see a specialist- gastro whatever they're called. An endoscopy is in order at this point.
Above all, pray. God is in control.
U need to go to a teaching hospital. I hv some differentials as to what it could be but i might end up scaring u.
ReplyDeleteWow!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds very serious.
Tolu I wish you divine healing as soon as possible, Amen.
Sorry I'm not a doc but I sincerely hope and pray you get the help you seek.
I cover you with the precious blood of Jesus Christ.
You are healed my dear, have faith.
pls endeavor to see a specialist,poster.may God heal u
ReplyDeleteHmmm…Over to the Doctors.
ReplyDelete@Jayem, you're probably short. That's why you're scared of weighing 67kg. Nothing wrong in weighing 67kg. All depends on the persons height and areas of fat depositions. Stop being arrogant.
ReplyDeleteI'm 5"9 and I weigh 65. I am skinny with double D big boobs and bum and I'm a UK size 8. I even wear size 6 v neck tops and shirts because my waist is just 26.5.
Don't make people feel inferior because of a number on a scale. Everybody has different fat depositions and no 2 people of same weight look similar.
My fat depositions area are my boobs, bum and thighs because my arms and legs are skinny. A 5"2 version of me would probably weigh 58 or less. I hope you have learned something new today.
With your measurements I don't think you will attract much guys.. ..I'm 5"3 and weigh 86kg with 48inches hips...and I get like 3 toasters everyday, because I'm sexy!
DeleteOkay...I'm short.
DeletePealie sorry with this your figures you are obese o...haa.. Your BMI is 31 abeg you need to watch that weight.. 86kg is too much for that your height
Delete@pealie ure very funny. Poster may d balm of Gilead heal u dear. I pray help comes soon to u. It's well wth u.
DeleteIts chronic ulcer,I have relatives that has had such case,used severaly drugs till one of my cousins met a doctor that prescribed CIMETIDINE and it works like wonder,the 2 other too joined in using the drugs and it works...Try and get the drugs and get a doctor to advice you on the dosage...this drug wld help normalize ur over eating but never leave ur stomach empty for a long time...Eat little at intervals,like 3hours interval...My sister PRAY is key solution to all problems.Use the drug and come back to give testimony by Gods grace..Much love and all the best.
ReplyDeleteDear poster, u ve peptic ulcer disease(PUD). Every description u gave in ur write up points to PUD. Diagnosis of PUD is clinical, from d history alone, including physical examination is enough to make that diagnosis. Lab investigations helps to confirm it. U will need treatment for 4 to 6wks with :
ReplyDelete1) Proton pump inhibitor e.g Omeprazole, Rabeprazole etc
2)Metronidazole
3)Clarithromycin or amoxicillin
Avoid things that can aggravate d ulcer eg alcohol, smoking, caffeinated beverages and NSAIDs( aspirin,ibuprofen etc).
The ulcer u are having now could be drug induced from use of Aspirin., but don't worry too much u will be fine. Hope this helps.
U have an ulcer .. probably duodenal ulcer and it's being poorly managed. U should go for an endoscopy so they can look in there and know how bad it is. Also u should try d triple therapy 2 antibiotics and omeprazole meanwhile. But make sure u get an endoscopy.
ReplyDeleteMy prayer for you is that God brings help your way and heal you. www.alabekee.blogspot.com
ReplyDeletePoster, you described abdominal pain and discomfort that lasted 3 days or more before going to the hospital and even after discharge you continue to experience this abdominal pain.
ReplyDeleteThen you mentioned altered frequency of stool and changes in stool consistency.
Is there any mucus in your stool?
You have an increase in weight (what I'm thinking, there is supposed to be a weight loss).
Is there rectal bleeding?
You were anemic and you had a positive breath test (overgrowth of bacteria in your GI).
Most of the symptoms you mentioned are that of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). I might be wrong, you might want to get a second opinion.
This is what I recommend:
Get fiber supplements, antidiarrheal medications, and Bentnyl.
There are medications spefically for IBS but I don't know if you can get it in Naija. But see a gastroenterologist first. Goodluck.
OMG so sorry to hear that. It sounds like ulcer. I hope you get the answers you seek :-(
ReplyDeleteI think what you have is stomach ulcer. This was exactly how I was feeling some years ago. Went to several hospitals and was being bombarded with drugs that seemed not to have effect. I just kept having the kind of pain you described whenever I ate late, until one day I went visiting my family in Port harcourt. I was screaming in pain as usual when my Dad out of desperation took me to a certified pharmacist who trained abroad. He recommended a drug, which he said cured his wife of ulcer. Loo and behold it worked for me. The name of the drug is kablax. It's quite difficult to get. I had to get it from Lagos Island. Try it out. Hope it heals you.
ReplyDeleteDoctors in the house ngwanu.
ReplyDeleteI feel your pain dear. Was admitted at one point in my life and I can tell you that I got traumatized after i got discharged so I totally understand your fears. Pele hun ,you'll be ok in no time.
Hmm... O ga o...people go though a whole lot behind their smiles! @Poster, the Lord will heal you.
ReplyDeleteoh God! my airtel subscription expires tomorrow 18th...wish i could get a miracle, if not am gone miss this family till i can gather money.

DeleteMY DEAR POSTER....THE SYMPTOM'S YOU LISTED I WILL SAY YOU ARE LIKE 4INCH AWAY FROM ULCER.THE BEST ADVICE I WILL GIVE YOU BECAUSE I WAS HAS ISSUES LIKE THIS IN 2005.MAKE SURE YOU EAT YOUR BREAKFAST ON TIME .LUNCH ...AND DINNER AND ONE ONLY THINK YOU NEED AFTER ALL THESE LISTED IS MISTMAG..NOT SURE IF I GET THE SPELLING CORRECT THE LIQUID WHITECHOCK IN A BOTTLE GO TO ANY PHARMACY AND ASK FOR MISTMAG IT WILL REALLY HELP YOU AND PLEASE ALWAYS HAVE IT IN YOUR BAG THAT ALL.GOD BLESS U
ReplyDeleteSorry dear, may God who heals all manner of diseases and sicknesses heal you in Jesus name Amen.
ReplyDeleteHello dear, am a doctor and what I think you have is peptic ulcer disease. Which is a result of the medication taken When you were ill. To confirm this diagnosis, u will need to do an endoscopy and a barium meal and swallow through with a certified gastroenterologist. And not just any GP or any doctor with another specialty. Depending on what is found. You may be placed in triple therapy regimen which consists of clarithromycin, metronidazole and omeprazole for a week (at most 2 wweks). Only omeprazole does not work. However a total life style change is also advised. Stay away from alcohol, spicy food, sodas, eating late. Always eat before you get hungry and eat small meals nor large meals. Processed meals like pastries etc are also not good for you. Eat clean and exercise. You will notice a remarkable improvement. Hope this helps. The damage has already been done. What you should be working towards is healing the ulcer and recovery. Pls go for the endoscopy so that we are sure it's ulcer and not something worse like a gastric cancer.
ReplyDeleteMy dear y not go to a teaching hospital. They av consultants there that will certainly help u find cure. Tell your dad to take you to a teaching hospital.
ReplyDeleteno be everything wey dey shine be gold....Hmmm! your see beautiful people everyday, not knowing that they have issues bothering them. Poster may God intercede.
ReplyDeletePlease click on my name for Fashion/Fitness/Beauty tips
Oh my! Sorry. You are healed in Jesus Name. Amen
ReplyDeleteH.pylori test is not like widal test o....once h.pylori test is positive, den its ulcer cos it hardly shows positive dat Dr is dumb....my dear u r suffering from ulcer (ur case is advance )..i think u shd see a good Dr for proper treatment cos u sound really sick to me....pls take good care of yourself...health is wealth....May
ReplyDeleteHello, i'm sincerely sorry about your pain. I'll advice you to get an endoscopy, even though it's uncomfortable and can be expensive. The reason being, an endoscopy will be helpful for differential diagnosis because your symptoms can be related to a majority of lower gastrointestinal diseases. It's possible you have ulcer and no, H.pylori test is not always positive. It can be eradicated. The proton pump inhibitor you're on may not be effective for you and will need to be changed. I'm sorry this is long but I hope it's helpful.
ReplyDeleteOMG! This is scary. May God heal you.
ReplyDeleteYou were not born with that ailment.
ReplyDeleteWhatever has gone wrong will be righted by the Lord.
Hold unto His wrapper and don't let Him go.
Yes,you have ulcer.
ReplyDeleteThe doctor said;
ReplyDeletePUD (peptic ulcer disease) is a possibility with Hel. pylori infection; i.e. Chronic PUD but that may just be one in a symptom complex. E.g. the diarrhea, tachycardia, weakness, etc. does not fit in. Apart from the weight gain; which is an aberration here . . . check if the following are there;
undigested or partially digested food in the stool,
tremors of the extremities; fingers.
eyes seemingly 'bigger"; "proptosis"
heat intolerance; like during the cold, you are still sweating even in your palms . . .always wanting to be in AC or near the fan . . .
BP is said to be high even at your age
and check your pulse rate . . .very high like above or about 100 etc.
If there is "YES" to all or most of the above, we may be dealing with "hyperthyroidism" here . . . whatever be the case, you need to go to a teaching hospital; better to obtain a referral to a physician; internal medicine clinic and see a doctor there. They will take your history and do the necessary test and see to it that you are treated and followed up. Be patient; no matter how long it takes. Doctors in Nigerian Teaching hospitals have a reasonable workload and can a times be "queer" too. God bless.
Go to webmd; search for home remedies for peptic ulcer. Try all dat is given for d vitaminE preferably u get vitabiotics product.i treated my dad and 47other patients successfully with dis remedies.at least no 1 is collectin a dime from u;my father went through all sort of bloody expensive tests and treatments under 1month and 2weeks he used 2.8million naira 4test and iv drips only ooo, i was flabbergastedi got bac to d country and was informed and pls pls live a healthy and clean lifestyle.Not eeverything u see u put in yr mouth.u r tired of drugs so try nature's own remedy.u will be well in no time.sorry dear
ReplyDeleteI am not a doctor. But for the fact that you have taken so much drugs in the past, why not go for an abdominal scan to check your organs(liver , kidney and the rest), then see a doctor that would listen to you. I pray you meet one soon.
ReplyDeleteI was once in a similar situation where I was placed on different kinds of medications, all of a sudden my weight just went up, I was looking chubby & big. "For my mind I dey happy say I don add weight", you know, when a lady adds weight, it sort of brings out the curves and you feel good. I didn't know that my "weight" was oedema & was playing ten-ten with my kidney. Of course, i later lost the weight but was left with a flank pain on the right side of my stomach.
I decided on my own to go for an abdominal scan, na there the sonologist come open mouth wey no gree close, Oga wetin happen? He say my kidney, wetin do am? He say the kidney is disstended and swollen.
Honestly, I was scared. He recommended some tests along with kidney function test. I took the results to my doctor, carried out more tests and started necessary medications from there.
Thank God for his mercies, altough I was angry that none of the doctors I saw ever asked me to do an abdominal scan. Maybe it was not necessary because of the symptons I presented, but for all the drugs I swallowed, my body hear am.
I wish you a speedy recovery.
Spot on!
DeleteDear poster, i had a similar problem just like urs. Mine waz as a result of drug overdose due to persistant malaria. waz even worse cos i neva really knew about ulcer till it happend to me. so i neva really knew wat waz wrong wit me, as a result i became too worried about my health dat i came up with oda symptoms like hbp, palpitations, hrtbrns n very high pulse. My dear i dont wanna go into wat i went tru. just know i undastand whr u re coming from n i will tell u d simple soltn. firstly accept d idea dat notin else is wrong wit u apart from ulcer cos too much worryin na anoda problem. Secondly ulcer no dey quick go. esp qhen itz gastric.it takes time n gud management. u shld be judicious wif ur drugs. lasttly itz not just about eating, but eatin right. there are foods u shld avoid esp fried foods, pepperish foods, acidic drinks, bitterleaf soup, hot foods even cold ones since ur problem is still serious. NOTE: Avoid garri. be it asoki or eba. its ur worst enemy now. it contains too many spongy-like particles dat scratches d walls of ur stomach during digestion. u can use semolina or wheat. avoid alcohol too. bookeyblog@gmail.com
ReplyDeletePlease help me!!! I've had this problem since I've known myself and I'm in my late 20s. I have tried to stop several times but my efforts have been in vain. I have a condition called Pica. I eat foam as in beds, pillows cushions etc. I'm embarrassed to see my GP. Please don't insult me please. I know some people have this condition too. How do they stop? What can I do?
ReplyDeleteWow...it feels good to know I'm not the only one that had this type of pica...I out grew mine when I went to the university though without any help..my mum noticed but she just allow me be..today I'm free from it..
DeleteBut damn the.foam.dey sweet sha.. But I don't swallow o.. Hope you no dey swallow am
You are asking questions here but you don't want to see your GP, for correct referral?
DeleteA GP has seen it all and heard it all. Don't wait until you start eating sand.
Hian! May God heal u o. I never hear dis one b4.
DeleteMy dear, you have iron deficiency thats the reason for the pica.. ser your Gp to run more tests and prescribe iron supplements.. goodluck
DeleteI know I need to see my GP but I'm scared. I have read loads about it on the Internet but nothing on how to overcome it. I learnt that many people have Pica, it was a relief but I want to stop. Anonymous please how did you stop? What did you do?
DeletePica
ReplyDeletesufferer pls go to tb joshua's church for deliverance.people eating

Now that been said......I had something similar years back infact I neva went out without omeprazole and gestid in my bag, I remember waking up in the early hours of the morning vomiting and those nights I cried myself to sleep cos it was too much for me to handle,no one understood not my parents,definitely not the doctors but GOD. my advice stay away from pepper,fries and carbonated drinks and most importantly your emotions as well most pple don't know this but if u're not emotionally stable it spikes it, put your mind at rest if there's anything bothering u and PRAY......goodnews is IT'LL PASS,mine is gone,GOD HEALED ME just like that dear,JUST LIKE THAT,i've even forgotten I once had it.GOD IS GOOD
ReplyDeleteStella na only you know why u no dey post my comments. @poster pls take nexium and clarithromycin. I had similar problem last year and an old Dr advised me to take d drugs for 3mths and i'ld never feel d pain. I did exactly as I was advised, I took nexium for 3months non-stop and up till 2day I hvnt felt d pains. I can even go all day without food and i'l b fine. I'll think a pack of nexium is 4500 and u need 2packs for a mnth. Stay away frm acidic fruits like orange, pineapple etc, oily food and alcohol. I'm not a Dr but i'v i'v been there done that.
