STRESS FROM WORK/LIFE TIRED EMOTIONS CAN PLAY HAVOC WITH THE STOMACH.SOMETIMES YOU CAN DO IT RIGHT BUT THE STRESSORS CAN MAKE YOU DO THAT.SO THAT MAKES THIS A DAILY JOURNEY.I HAVE HAD MY Fluid TOTALLY REMOVED FOR ALMOST 6 WKS.AND HAVE NOTIVED THE LAST WEEK WITH ALL THE STRESSORSOF JOB CHANGE , FAMILY ISSUES,HOLIDAY PLANS OF HAVING ALL MY FAMILY COMING TO MY HOUSE AND DOING EVERYTHING ALONE THAT MY GERD HAS BEEN ACTING UP. INCREASE BELCHING WITH NO FLUID.

IF YOU ARE NOT FLEMING OR THROWING UP ABLE TO KEEP FOOD AND LIQUIDS DOWN,THAN YOU PROBABLY HAVEM'T SLIPPED CALL YOUR MD GET IT CHECK.I WENT THREW THE THROWING UP EVEN WATER ALMOST 6 WEEKS AGO HAD TO HAVE A TOTAL UNFILL,NO SLIPPAGE JUST TILTED.LOST 11LBS.HAVE GAINED IT BACK CAN TELL.BUT ITS ALL GOOD.STILL IN 8/10'S.GO BACK TO MD ON TUESDAY FOR A FILL OHHH WHAT A RELIEF THAT WILL BE. 6 WKS NO RESTRICTION OR FLUIDS.GOOD LUCK
