The beginning of this year I had the worst heartburn I’ve ever experienced. For years I’ve always had some kind of heartburn when I ate specific kinds of food, but nothing like this. Usually when I had some kind of heartburn, I would take a simple antacid and my problem would go away. But for some reason this pain was much worse. The pain was directly in my throat.
I went to work that day I couldn’t keep my attention on anything I had to do because the pain was nagging me every moment. No matter what I took to try to relieve the pain, nothing was working. I began to have tears that would run down my face from the nagging pain.
After I found blood in my stool, I saw the doctor that same day. The doctor had me do an endoscopy, which they found the early signs of an ulcer in my esophagus. The doctor gave me some medication which helped out my problem for a little while. The medication quit working, but the doctor told me to continue taking the medication anyways.
After 8 days of straight heartburn something went wrong. All the sudden I felt a constant pressure in my throat that never went away. On occasions the heartburn use to vanish, but now the problem never went away.
I saw 3 doctors which prescribed me several medications that still didn’t work. I was taking 10 pills daily with no positive results. I called my friends that were into alternative medicine and they told me to come over for dinner to discuss a plan of action.
That night was one of the most informative nights. Not only did my friends create a diet for me to try, but they informed me on many things I never know.
