Heavy Stomach Blues!

\r\n \r\n Have you ever had your gallbladder checked? What kind of infections and health problems and what were the antibiotics you were on? Also sounds like possible ulcer symptoms.
\n
\nRev, have you seen liverock\'s post about ulcer tips? He gave a link to a very good article by health writer Bill Sardi. I strongly suggest you read it.

Thanks shapshtr. Will have a read of the ulcer tips thread.
\n
\nInfections - ear infection now in third week. I took the first course of antibiotics, but have decided not to take any more courses. Currently taking colloidal silver orally and bathing ear with the colloidal silver, and using Hydrogen Peroxide in the infected ear.
\nGoing to juice an onion and garlic today and see if that does any good. The other infections I\'ve suffered from regularly are dental, but due to not wanting to take antibiotics on every occasion I take colloidal silver and that does the job.
\nThis ear infection though is a stubborn beast! Ear weeps and is very itchy

\nThe antibiotics were Amoxillan(spelling naff!).
\nMy right armpit is infected(sounds funny that!)and becomes red and sore if I don\'t apply colloidal silver daily. I admit I sweat a lot! I really do! Even sitting down eating a meal and I sweat, I always have a face flannel when at the dinner table!
\nSo in concluding this post, the infections have mostly been dental, but my right armpit has been needing colloidal silver daily for months; and now I have an ear infection(3rd week). Due to get a blood test this week to check for diabetes.
\nThe sweating says my Dr is due to my meds, but I\'ve cut many out, and their is still no improvement regarding the sweating!\r\n

\r\n

again - thanks saved1986! Not sure whether a probiotic will work for me as I have no large bowel, and my small bowel has been reconstructed to form an ileo anal pouch(alternative to colostomy bag). Some of my fellow "pouchies" say we don\'t benefit from probiotics, though it\'ll do no harm to try. Kinchi, will see what I can do with that one too - reminded me of Kombuchi(spelling!).
\n
\nI saved a lot of goals when I was a goalkeeper - not sure about the numbers though!\r\n

\r\n \r\n It sounds like you have low stomach acid (HCL) and probably low digestive enzymes, which means you will have poor breakdown of proteins and poor mineral absorption.
\nMost of your symptoms, including infections, can be caused by low stomach acid which can cause \'Dumping\' in the small intestine, and profuse sweating.

\r\n \r\n If you don’t have enough HCl and enzymes to digest your food thoroughly, you could be subject to the problems of "gastric dumping syndrome" (or "rapid gastric emptying syndrome" – though it may not be rapid!), where "food is emptied too quickly from the stomach, filling the small intestine with undigested food that is not adequately prepared to permit efficient absorption of nutrients in the small intestine. … The symptoms of dumping syndrome include nausea, abdominal cramps, diarrhea, dizzy spells, weakness, and cold sweats, either with or after eating. The symptoms are often divided into ‘early’ symptoms which begin during or right after a meal. These include nausea, vomiting, bloating, cramping, diarrhea, dizziness, and fatigue. Late dumping symptoms occur 1-3 hours after eating and include hypoglycemia, weakness, sweating, and dizziness." (By the way, "dumping syndrome is easily triggered by any rich emulsions such as a liquid nutritional supplement or a milk shake.") (32)\r\n \r\n

I dont know how ofter you were taking Omeprazole but PPI inhibitors are only supposed to be taken for 2 months max. Long term consumption leads to low vitamin and mineral absorption,particularly calcium, which turns to a 160% increase in the possibility of a hip fracture which you should be careful of at your weight level.
\n
\nLong term use of PPI\'s are bad news all round as this diagram shows,everything from stomach cancer to heart failure.

\n
\nTry a teaspoon iof Apple Cider Vinegar in water with your meals, taken through a straw to protect your teeth enamel and some digestive enzymes from the HF shop.
\n
\nIf the ACV is not helping get some HCL tablets from the HF shop and start taking 2 per meal and increase one at a time until you start getting a warm feeling in the stomach after the meal and then reduce back one tablet to give the optimum dosage.\r\n

\r\n \r\n revzen, with so many of your problems, have you ever studied black cumin seeds? Also called Black Seed.

\r\n \r\n The seeds of the black cumin plant contain over 100 chemical compounds, including some yet to be identified. In addition to what is believed to be the primary active ingredient, crystalline nigellone, black cumin seeds contain: thymoquinone, beta sitosterol. myristic acid, palmitic acid, palmitoleic acid, stearic acid, oleic acid, linoleic acid, linolenic acid, arachidonic acid, protein, vitamin B1, vitamin B2, vitamin B3, folic acid, calcium, iron, copper, zinc, and phosphorous.
\n
\n Black cumin seeds have a particularly long and strong history use in Egypt. When archaeologists found and examined the tomb of Egyptian boy-king Tutankhamen (King Tut), they found a bottle of black cumin oil, which suggested that it was believed to be needed in the afterlife.
\n
\n Physicians to the Egyptian pharaohs frequently used the seeds after extravagant feasts to calm upset stomachs. They also used the seeds to treat headaches, toothaches, colds, and infections. Queen Nefertiti, renowned for her stunning beauty, used black seed oil, likely due to its abilities to strengthen and bring luster to hair and nails.
\n
\n Hundreds of studies have been conducted on black cumin which have shown that compounds from the seeds help fight diseases by boosting the production of bone marrow, natural interferon, and immune cells.
\n
\n Several of the studies have shown that black cumin seed extract could assist individuals with autoimmune disorders, and could possibly help to fight cancer. One recent study on black cumin seed oil demonstrated that it was effective against pancreatic cancer, one of the deadliest and most difficult to treat cancers.

liverock, in answer to your question re: Omeprazole. I have been taking it since 2004. Only stopped a few months back

\n
\nMy small intestine has been converted into an ileo anal pouch. My large intestine was removed in 2004 due to bowel cancer. I have polyps in my stomach and duodenum, for which I am scoped every 12 months, along with my pouch - after my scopes I walk like John Wayne!!!
\n
\nThanks for the links and info - always appreciated! I will definitely be looking into your suggestions, although the ACV - I can\'t use a straw due to having a pouch!
\nGetting back to the infections, I did try to convey my concern about the many infections I\'ve had since 2009(tumor removed from nose), especially dental. It was ridiculous! I\'m having a blood test this week to see if I have a diabetes. I am also looking for a reasonable priced homeopath or herbalist, the problem I have is my genetic illness - Familial Adenomatous Polyposis! The blank looks I get from dentists and Dr\'s is amazing!!! So what a herbalist/homeopath will make of this will be interesting to see!!!\r\n

Over the last four weeks I've noticed after eating a meal, and it doesn't have to be a large meal, that my stomach feels like it has a few bricks in it! I feel so uncomfortable. My acid reflux has come back with a vengeance too! For the acid reflux I have been taking Manuka honey and its eased it but not fully stopped it.

I've had acid reflux for a since 2004 and was taking Omeprazole for a few years, but have stopped taking it. All was well until taking a course of antibiotics a few weeks back - since then BOOM! So its not due to stopping the Omeprazole!

I have also lost weight, I have come down from 252 pounds(18 stones) to 238 pounds(17 stones)but not through dieting. My appetite has changed greatly! My wife cooks great meals, and I still enjoy eating, but in smaller quantities.

I saw my Dr last week over a variety of health concerns, and I have to go for a blood test to check if I have diabetes. Recently I have had quite a number of infections, and he says he wants to rule this out.

Any advice/thoughts most appreciated!
