I’m pretty sure they do. I have been on myfortic, tacrolimus since 2021 for my liver transplant and added prednisone after kidney transplant. I’m going to try to cut back omeprazole to 20 mg a day and then after a week try to stop altogether. Thank you for your help.

Thank you Knitty Kitty, what type of doctor would diagnose Barrett’s esophagus? What is involved in the testing? Thanks!

Thank you!!

So sorry for going off topic. I have had gerd for about 25 years. I used to take 40 mg in the morning and 40 at night . My current GP has me down to 20 mg twice a day. I don’t have any issues on this dosage. Hope this helps. Best of luck to you!

Hi Charlie I also take omeprazole. It does help. I was diagnosed with fatty liver about 20 years ago. Didn’t pay any attention to it. Then 20 years later diagnosed with celiac disease that I probably had most of my life, looking back. Both of those things caused my liver to fail. I’m not a drinker. When I was diagnosed back in the states I had 30 d...

Hi Charlie, I was living in Harrogate, UK when I was diagnosed with lichen planus in my mouth. They are very painful sores in the mouth.The dentist there told me I should get tested for celiac disease as she said there is a strong correlation between the two. I also had stomach issues. I had an endoscopy and it confirmed I have celiac disease. I have...

Hi Mrs Turner, sorry to hear about your anemia. I believe I’ve had celiac my entire life. I am now 67. I am not a drinker, but celiac ruined my liver. I also have hemochromatosis. My iron levels were high. I had blood letting twice. It relieved my tiredness but I was still cold. My liver could not get rid of the toxins from my body. I ballooned up to 26...

I’m so sorry to hear about your mouth issues. I have suffered from linchen planus since 2016. We were living in the UK at the time. The dentist told me it is an autoimmune disease and he sees it in a lot of celiac patients. He prescribed medicine. It took a couple of days but I did get relief. Since, we moved back to the states, my dentist prescribed a...

BTW, Before I was diagnosed with celiac, a few food changes occurred. First, I have always been lactose intolerant, second I became violently ill after eating shell fish ( I use to eat without any issues) . I noticed sores in my mouth that were so painful, I was sent to an oral surgeon. He diagnosed me with lichen planus. Blisters like a celiac gets...

Hi Cyclinglady, i honestly think the best way to diagnose celiac is an endoscopy. It seems to be the gold standard. I went strictly gluten free after my diagnosis. I feel so much better! Please give it a try, 100%. Most restaurants can accommodate celiacs. You might miss some foods but the thought of eating gluten and it’s repercussions on m...

NNowak, thank you for your kind and timely responses. I am seeing a hematologist, liver doctor and internist. I also am having to go a oncologist/gynecologist for a hysterectomy. Ugh! Sucks to get old! ?
