Prilosec

[Guest guest]

Hi Sandy,

Thank you so much for responding. Since I am new to this site, I get

very excited when I see a letter to me (simple pleasures?).

I was wondering if you suffer from acid stomach or acid reflux? Most

cp/ap suffers do, that is probably why your dr put you on Prilosec.

I have been taking it for years now and it is beginning not to help

anymore. But, in my case, not taking it was causing a litany of

other problems. I also read that Prilosec can cause spasms if you

have Sphincter of Oddi dysfunction, which I do.

Again, it is a case of " damned if you do or damned if you don't " . I

hope you don't suffer any repercussions from removing it from your

regimen. When I worked in the natural food industry (14 years), some

people had success with fighting acid stomach by eating fresh plums.

I know how hard it can be to try and remain positive in regards to

carrying unwanted weight. I am sorry if you are feeling bad about

that right now. I guess I just decided that with the amount of

struggle a lot of us go through each and every day just to be less

symptomatic, that I wasn't go to contribute to my own struggles.

Screw anyone who wants to judge me because of my weight. Also, I

thank God that I am not one of the unfortunate who struggle their

whole lives with obesity.

Quick question, do you have liver problems also? I am hurting today

on my right side, near the mid rib section. And my family keeps

telling me when I look yellow. I know that the pancreas and liver

are sister organs.

Good luck with your efforts. I am going to try and use your

inspiration and start walk again. I sometimes fear the pain that I

know will come. But I respect your strength for not giving up.

Have a peaceful and safe weekend.
