Guest guest Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 No, unless they looked for it in the biopsy I had last year. I stopped the omeprazole again and will see how it goes. I know it will suck for the next 2 weeks, but after that it usually gets undercontrol if I am careful with what I eat. But, i am about 20lbs heavier than the last time I went off it. I stocked up on pepto bismuth as a stop gap when it gets unbearable. ============================================================================45-Male-Caucasian, 5'9"- 242lbs, PA Diagnosed 2007 Suspected Hyperplasia-No tumors on CT - No AVS.Meds: 50mg Inspra, 40meq Potassium, 1800mg Calcium, 1000mg Magnesium, 100,000UI Vit D (weekly), 20mg OmeprazoleSide effects: Gynecomastia, stomach inflammation (From Spiro)Other Diags: GERD, Hiatal Hernia, Metabolic Syndrome - PreDiabetic, Secondary Hyperparathyroidism caused by Renal calcium leak, Bone Cyct in left Femoral Head and Pelvis.

Guest guest Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 Yeah. That helps. I can get the same thing by building a wedge of pillows. Mostly my problems are not nighttime heartburn, but daytime. Nighttime is solved by taking a swig out of the pepto bottle as needed. It has been a while since I have ad to deal with it because the PPI works. I will revive all my old tricks as the symptoms pop out. If I dont eat too late, the nighttime heartburn can be avoided, mostly. ============================================================================45-Male-Caucasian, 5'9"- 242lbs, PA Diagnosed 2007 Suspected Hyperplasia-No tumors on CT - No AVS.Meds: 50mg Inspra, 40meq Potassium, 1800mg Calcium, 1000mg Magnesium, 100,000UI Vit D (weekly), 20mg OmeprazoleSide effects: Gynecomastia, stomach inflammation (From Spiro)Other Diags: GERD, Hiatal Hernia, Metabolic Syndrome - PreDiabetic, Secondary Hyperparathyroidism caused by Renal calcium leak, Bone Cyct in left Femoral Head and Pelvis.
