I've been advised to take good quality digestive enzymes mid main meal (and minimum 4 hrs away from meds as always) - Worth checking ingredients before purchasing. Seem to have helped me anyway, but we're all unique, so one size does not necessarily fit all !

Hi Fret,
I had horrible reflux. I was taking 3 prescription meds and still ended up eating one day and fasting the next so I could sleep. Two endoscopies and one 24 hour reflux study later, nothing was found to be amiss. (except HCV)
I quit the stomach meds the day before I started tx and went completely vegan. My reflux was totally gone by day 10.
That was October 23. Since EOT, I have started eating meat once in a while, but being very careful about all things ingested. I even have a nice ale to end the day.
No reflux since November 3rd.
None.
How are you making your doses?
Mike

You will be better using Sof + Dac rather than Sof + Led and a PPI.
YMMV

I agree and have just changed to Sofo/DAC

Yes Doc,
I think you're right, too bad I already bought the Led. Live and learn, I guess. :oops:

Yeah Mike,
I believe that totally, can't wait till I don't till I don't have to deal with reflux any longer. Thats gonna be great!! Also, my feet, ankles and hands swell like crazy. I'll be glad when that stops too! ~Cheers!

Hi fretboard,

For your capsules please read the Compounding section of the site paying particular attention to Dr James' pinned section at the top which contains advice on the correct quantities.

fixhepc.com/forum/compounding.html

The rest of the posts there have some good detail on how various people went about the process. One aid to filling the caps which I believe is available in the US is the Torpac funnel which Mike (mgalbrai) recommends. www.torpac.com/

For your oedema (swelling) I'm assuming that your previously mentioned GI doctor is aware and managing the situation. If not please seek medical advice about it.

Handy looking funnel, I was thinking about using ear spectra but the Torpac looks like a much better idea. :+1:

Oh yeah, its been happening for years so both my doctors know about it. I get a prescription of Lasix for it. I appreciate the heads up you've given me Gaj.

No, thanks for the good wishes but I didn't start yet. Just got my 00 capsules today, get my size 3 within a week, see my doctor on 4/18 and sometime after that I will start knocking back the caps.

Hey Fret,
I will loan you my Profunnel if you like and send you the empty "00" capsules as well. I have a gozillion of them. The Profunnel takes about 3 weeks to arrive from Torpac. I can FedEx mine and you could have it in a couple of days.
The funnel makes it very, very simple.

The Profunnel comes in specific sizes. I did one 28 day run of sof in a couple of hours. The next day, I did the same with the led.
Put them both in the "00" caps, as that is my funnel size. Put them in separate vitamin bottles or such with a small desiccant pack. I have a few hundred if those as well. You can get both in one "00" cap, but its a bitch. Much easier to do "runs" for each API. Best paying job I ever had.

Cutting out all saturated fats really, really helped my GERD.

Yeah that sounds like a great idea! I'll send you my address as soon as I figure out how to PM you, sometime within the next hour I'm sure of it. :lol: Hey Mike, did you have any sides at all and was this your first tx?

Its my first tx. A minor, dull headache for 3 days.
Nothing, and I mean NOTHING else...
Others have not been as fortunate, but many, many have.
