Any gastro docs in here?

[Bill Bess]

Brent, I had the same problems as "Bobcat", and my doctor did all the tests for GERD.
Exercise, lose weight, Protonix twice a day and now everythng is all good.
No real problems for a year or so and I can eat whatever I want, although I still have somewhat of a problem swalling certian types of food, it can stick in my throat. Plenty of beer always works to make things good agian....HA....HA!

Best ergards, Bill

I assembled my own endoscope from one of those round web cameras, some flexible tubing and a long usb cable (you'll need at least 30 feet of each). The nice thing is you can do this in the privacy of your own home, right in front of your computer. Oh, you will need to patch a small led light on the front of the camera too. Email pictures to your doctor... do not try self diagnosis.

Mike,
If you can run that thing down to your stomach you have absolutely no gag
reflex. They have to knock me out to do that. They tried to run a tube through my nose to get to my stomach one time and only managed to coil it
in my throat no matter what they tried - no fun at all - they gave up and i was
worn out from trying to barf. That won't happen again.

It goes in the other end.

OK you are talking the "other" end. Never mind!

Well, if people wanna ask car jocks questions like this, I believe an appropriate detection method is in order. No sense wasting $$ on a doctor visit, huh?

If you notice "Guy", I specifically asked for medical opinions from doctors. You know, that's why the thread is called, "Any gastro docs in here?"

I was fortunate enough to get some good responses from fellow forum members that have went through the same thing. I wasn't wanting a prognosis over the internet, I was just wanting some more info that a fellow "car jock" doctor might lend out.

Why so dam sensitive? Is there any indication I am being serious?

I wasn't for sure...there are a lot of opinionated people on this forum. You'll just have to stick your tongue out more....
