Thanks for asking.
She had the endoscopy camera down.
It confirmed the Hiatus hernia, which they said was not too big...4cm, whatever that means, but they added that the esophagus showed extensive signs of "burning" from the acid reflux. The doc has changed her medication to help this.
WE hope that this will help, they want her back in about 8 weeks for a check up.

Hopefully the meds will make a real difference for her Hugs from South Devon. |

Thanks Will, I will pass your hugs on.
Carol big problem is that she has numerous issues regarding her health. None of them are too serious, but all of them added up are taking a toll on her well being. I'm finding it a little stressful myself.

Hello Tom,
What Carol has had to endure sounds awful. Acid reflux is horrible to endure.
We are hoping that the treatmet works well for her.
Give her our very best wishes.

Acid reflux is vile. I suffer from it but have been taking Omeprozole for a few years now and it really does help.
Also JB sometimes has it and we have found the best remedy is something called Almax Forte, which is a liquid in a sachet that you just swallow straight down. We buy it in Spain (not sure if it available in the UK) but it works instantly, which is a miracle itself when you're suffering from acid reflux

I suffer especially after eating bread and when I bend. I will have a look at that stuff you get in Spain later. It sounds exactly what I need. Thanks |

Hope you find it. FYI - the ssachets come in boxes of 12 or 24. In Spain (appreciate it may be different in France) a box of 12 were 11 Euros, and a box of 24 was 15Euros!! Needless to say we bought the bigger box!
