I have all the symptoms which at first stomach pains, diarrhea, difficulty swallowing, sore throat, hoarse voice. I have lost weight due to not being able to eat. I am not on PPI inhibitors. I have taken zantac at one time but then notice it seemed at some point to dry my mouth and cause more difficutly swallowing. I want to know if ensure is ok to take due to my weight had drop from 108 to 92 pounds. I have not gone to see physician due to I do not have medical insurance...
[|AI|]  Hi Terri. Not going to Physician because you do not have insurance is a wrong thing as health is the most important thing, which you are already loosing. If you have symptoms like HERD I would advise the following:Continue Santa 12 hourly. Pepcid every 3 to 4 hours when on empty stomach. Add Risperidone or such motility regulators. Soft bland diet. No aerated colas / soda/ Chat Doctor. Early dinner. No late nights. Treatment for anxiety (as prescribed / needs a prescription by your Doctor)Lying in a reclining positional around after dinner. Think of the factors which increased the present problem, HERD, anxiety and try to avoid. If no relief, get Upper GI endoscopy done and get prescription for added Medicines. These will help you get alright. Continue treatment at least for 4 weeks. This is the cheapest treatment available.
