IBS, gastritis, esophagitis, post nasal drip, bloating,gas,numbness in face/left arm/left neck, neck

All of the posts here apply to my body and life. I mostly manage by eating small amounts throughout the day and nothing after 7PM. Even better if I stop at 6PM, though my work schedule make this impossible most days.
I have found that taking two "Super Enzymes" by NOW or "Essential Enzymes" by Source Naturals before each meal helps my digestion. I learn from a nutritionist turned Medical Doctor a few years ago that PPI's and the rest just stop acid production in the stomach and that the food I eat just putrefies and is not digested for it's nutrients. The nutrients are needed for our body to function. Even foggy thinking results from our starving our bodies of these nutrients. So yes, experiencing constipation is also common with these PPI's and antacids. They are messing with proper digestion. The enzymes help with proper digestion and "feeding" our bodies. Also, it took some time for me to get my digestion back on track. I still need the enzymes now. My Gerd is still a problem but not to the extent of the constant burning in my throat, nose, and mouth. Stopping beef stopped the acid burn lesions in my mouth too.

Did you ever get an accurate diagnosis? I'm going through all of this as we speak and I am not liking it:(

My dear friends I think I may have the answer. I'm getting better but it taken me about 3 weeks to experience significant results. Try taking a a two week detox of only alkaline water. Eating only 4 to 5 avocados a day. Second take at least 80 billion cfu pro biotic. everyday. You are all yeast infested. Candida is the main F problem!!!!!!!!!

I'm having same thing happen

I'm finally getting it through my head i have to eat REGULARLY to keep the ibs symptoms at bay. Unfortunately we had kfc the other day and that made me a gusher, I went nuts with high protein low carb ate a bunch of lettuce, ran out of lettuce and winded up with horrible constipation. Balanace is everything.

Oh yeah also because of arthristis and other pain conditions I have a muscle relaxer. That stopped the gushing and the pain and I was able to rest. Took about 15-20 minutes. I only use it when I absolutely have to.

This sounds somehow like my symptoms...

Sorry for the long post.

This all started with me since sep 2013, in May 2013 I got my new job as IT Support. when I join the firm, after few weeks their few server went down, I really got a lot of stress in those days as I was new and this happened and I didn't knew how to fix it, and I use to sit in front of the servers to make it up and running for several hours daily for 2 -3 days in temperature below 15.

After few days I fixed them, but I got pain in back of my eyes and back of my head and neck. I went to hospital they diagnose me with chronic sinus. They give me falazol antibiotic and nasal sprays, and vicks to clear that up and run the course for few weeks without any result.

The headache and pain in neck goes away but left me with joint pains, stomach discomfort, sometime loose watery stools, mucus in stools and slight blood once or twice in stool till now, that is also because of straining during bowls.

I did a lot of tests and X-rays like:

1) CBC = OK
2) Ultra sound for all internal organs like kidneys, liver, pancreases, gallbladder etc = OK
3) Stool test= All ok but Occult positive because of slight blood of straining. Offered Colonoscopy, but other doctors thought not necessary as it was once only or twice.
4) Chest X-ray = OK
5) Spine X-ray = C2-C3 fusion, Doctor says its by birth he guess.

Now its May 2015 and all my symptoms are on and off, sometime goes away for weeks or months and come back after and stays for days and then disappear.

I recently got a bad stomach problem with watery stools, I felt I am gonna die, worst nausea ever I felt, goes dhydrated and maybe run down the blood pressure, which left me with hands and legs about to paralyze, but as soon I drank ulti vitamin juice came back to normal.

Now very next day watery bowl is gone but still feel nausea sometime.

My current symptoms that comes and goes are:

Neck pain, Ears clogged or pressure sometime one and sometime both on and off, arms and legs pain and weakness sometime, feeling fatigue or tiredness, stomach aches, feel argue to bowl but nothing, sometime a lot of wind sometime ok, vertigo and dizziness because of sinus pressure.

Not sure what to do, don't want to go to doctor any more, but how to know what's happening?

The c**p you are going through sound exactly what I have been going though.. Have you solved it? And have you found a decent doctor that gives a c**p.. Another problem that we seem to have in common.. What has worked for me is get off the dam meds all. The... Do colonics,yes I,said,it,colonics.. Give up beans, gluten, bread, corn, soy, eggs, peanuts, oats, barley, sugar, honey is aok.. Dairy, coffee, fried food.. You may eat.. Quina, ancient grains, chia is your friend, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seed, nuts, cucumbers, lemons and limes, leaflet us, tomatoes, spegetti squash, zucchini, berries, fresh fish... Pea protein for your protein and hemp protein.. That it.. Wake up each morning drink lemon water and honey and cinnamon use warm water. That will neutralize your stomach acids, also invest in calm it is great stuff it magnesium.. Eat shake for breakfast, veggies for lunch shake for dinner for a snake the berries or fruit smoothies.. Fo the for a week to then days and remember lots of water.. And never ever eat after 9 pm. Lemon water for bedtime.. This will change your life. After 5 weeks slowly introduce one food at a time.. Lastly remember the colonics are very important. Do about two the three a week for eight weeks.. The one a week will help.. IBS is a nice word for they don't know.. The goals is to keep the spa isms down to a minimum.. Stress seems to aggravate thing.. Also try herbal tees and I have great success with holy basil, and valarian root.. Very calming... Hope that help.. The goal is to keep the attacks down to a minimum...

I m having all the symptoms just like u.even i m searching for answers.hope someone finds a cure for this and soon.

I had a similar experience except I didn't take as much medications. I began to think mabey I was turning into a hypochondriac! I started to pray to God and read the bible in my spare time. This was the best thing I ever did and gave me peace of mind too. We all suffer with someting so now I am coping with it much better and now have less stress.

i have suffered that way for many years without any improvement from ent doctors for throat and nose mucus. Simply take nexium 40gms, drink lots of water, flesh fruit juices (not oranges), avoid unroasted meat/fish/chicken, avoid milk, alcohol, coffee, and any other fatty foods.
Eat lots of fresh greens with unfried foods..............for one week, you will see change in your life. I have improved by following such diet and acid reflux and post nasal drip have reduced.
