Re: mastic gum & h pylori , was burning throat

Could it be that she has either a hyatal hernia or some damage to her

esphogus?

The lady we see....who is a NP trained by Andy, has put hubby on this

for his problems with espohgus...

She is also recommending mastic gum for our ulcers...just getting

started so not sure how it will work...but we also used OLE...

Have you tried adding any hydrachloric acid? I use that with my

ulcer at this point....I understand that sometimes the bacteria is

able to get started in the stomach is because there isn't enough

acid...

thank you, I will look these up...thinking probably not, tho' - not

really any of the " burning " type feelings/pain is also lower than

that...(never hurts to check, for sure). There seems to

be " something " at her school that started 2-3 wks ago - started with

almost daily migraines after school, to " full day " migraines..then,

this past week or so, her belly has been super-sensitive...thinking

of the " something " at her school as a trigger, vs a " cause. "

(gotta love the unavoidable environmental Stuff, uggggh)

I took antibiotics for an ulcer - not fun, and would like to totally

avoid for her, ever...if mastic gum is relatively benign, I would try

it as a " nip it in the bud " type thing...

Still looking for mastic gum info / so far, lotsa places to buy it

from (with accompany'g accolades), not so much " real " info, ... am

also looking into kefir now...rather overwhelming so far, but looks

really really promising... (found info in an A-M " gut/belly issues "

post - #155687).

Would be very interested in hearing how it goes with mastic gum at

your house...

Acid - reminds me, should look up that " stomach acid " test (it's

lemonjuice or vinegar, I think), and see what happens...didn't think

of that ( & should be a " duh " for me, go figure).

it's late, and I am sooo tired - got sidetracked by kefir, hope the

above makes some sense....

thanks again,

elizabeth
