This looks like a good place for this.  :)  Lots of Endoscopies.  Who knows the answer to this.  Me and a friend are debating whether my quake, um dr. is right.  He just diagnosed me with Barretts and wants to burn it out in 6 months to a year, depending on the FISH results that are not back yet.  She thinks he is wrong to wait that long, he is telling me I have to heal from this procedure at least 6 months.  I know I hurt inside, so I know I need to heal, therefore, on this I actually believe the quake, um dr.  So, does anyone know the answer?  How long does it take to heal.  Erosive Esophagitis, Barretts, a dilation, and lots of Biopsies.

 

I have to wait regardless or swap doctors, was planning to swap doctors, but the one I am going to is actually an expert in Barretts.  I would be fool to change now, I think, whether I agree with him on all matters or not.

I don't know about the other things you have had done, but, from what I have seen, an endoscopy with biopsies heals within 2 weeks. The size of the biopsy is teeny tiny, so it really doesn't bother you. Seems like the other problems you have may take a while to heal?

Sorry for the snappy note. Thank you. I agree with him on this I just really hate the ppi and some of his other ideas. My throat was sore for 5 days and I still feel not normal.

My mom had an ulcer on the bottom of her esophagus - she had a stroke and was having trouble chewing. They think she swallowed a potato chip that wasn't well chewed and it made a cut - that got infected, etc. She had to take stuff like Prilosec because any stomach acid that hit the sore spot/ulcer would keep it from healing. That took maybe 8 weeks to heal? They did a repeat endo then to check that it was healed.

So she is right I can get this done sooner rather than later. Thank you very much.

I am not saying that. I don't know your medical condition.... But, go ahead, tell your GI I said it was Ok. I'm sure that will help. Lol

They can do an endo 3 times in a day in an emergency....they did my moms when they thought she was healed. Why would they do yours if you say you are still in pain?

      Build muscle back feeling weak?

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      I put on over 12kg by eating protein with every meal, 3 to 5 times a day. Eggs, Chicken, Tuna, Turkey etc. I stay away from too much red meat as it can be inflammatory. Scott is correct. I've come across a bunch of Coeliac PT's on Tiktok and Instagram. They all say the same thing, the key is getting enough protein and consistency.

      Build muscle back feeling weak?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's great to hear that eliminating gluten has helped alleviate symptoms like eye burning, which is a significant and positive change. The first and most important step is to ensure you're consuming enough protein throughout the day to support muscle repair and growth, which can be challenging with a busy schedule. Since you're already physically active at work, adding focused strength training just 2-3 times per week can make a major difference. Bodyweight exercises like squats, push-ups (modified if needed), and lunges, or using resistance bands at home, are excellent, efficient places to start. Remember, consistency with these short sessions and prioritizing post-workout recovery, including good sleep and hydration, are just as crucial as the workouts themselves. It's a smart, gradual process at any age.

      suggest gluten free food

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Trader Joe's carries a good variety of affordable gluten-free foods like bagels, hamburger buns, pasta, etc. I like Franz Gluten Free bread, which is available at my local Costco. Food For Life and Little Northern Bakehouse (advertisers here) also make excellent gluten-free breads. Costco also sells gluten-free pizzas, crackers, gravy, etc.
