I'm a 35-year-old woman who's been dealing with lax LES since 2019. The first signs were a persistent cough, and after an endoscopy, they diagnosed me with this condition. I've been sleeping on an elevated bed or wedge pillow since then, but I'm still struggling with the symptoms. It feels like a nightmare. Is there any real treatment for this? Right now, I'm dealing with constant heartburn, a sour taste in my mouth, a heavy chest, and some breathing issues. It's like I'm experiencing these symptoms non-stop. What can I do?

I'm dealing with IBS and was diagnosed with depression about 1.5 years ago. I've been taking fludac 20, but recently I've been having bowel movements 6-7 times a day, and they're fragmented. It's not like diarrhea but it's been going on for 5 days with some stomach cramps. Usually, taking metrogyl 400 clears it up in a day, but this time it's not helping. I started taking norflox tz yesterdaytwice dailyand I'm feeling a little better, but there's still this urge for bowel movement and some cramps. Any thoughts on what might be happening or what else I should do?

I've been dealing with GERD for 21 years and take pantoprazole DSR every morning. Even after lifestyle changes, I still get reflux. Would surgery be a permanent solution for this or are there other options I should consider?

While surgery, like Nissen fundoplication, can significantly improve or even eliminate GERD symptoms, it's not a guaranteed permanent cure and is typically considered a last resort after other treatments have failed. Other options, including medication adjustments, additional testing, and even exploring alternative therapies, should be considered before surgery.
