About a month ago,I had a very hard time moving my bowels,no matter
how much I strained nothing would pass,there was alot of blood and
alot of pain from allt he straining,well it happened again the day
before yesterday,but this time there was alot of pain right above my
belly button and it did not go away! I also have bad acid reflux and
htought maybe it goes hand and hand,but am not sure. We’ll I decided
to go to the low income clinic here,and the doctor told me because
you came here I really dont think you want to go thru all the testing
because of how much they are and I know you can’t afford them,so I’m
going to see if its consipation and treat you for that and see if it
gets better instead of getting worse,but if it does get worse you
will have to get tested weather you can afford it or not! He told me
I also gained 10 pounds or so I was 230 and now I weigh 248. That
made me depressed,he told me that I needed to loose the weight,he
said most of my problems can be weight related,he also told me I
needed to go on a heartburn/acid reflux diet,but he didn’t write the
diet down for me so i didn’t know if that would help me with my
weight or just my heartburn situation. He told me to eats lots of
things with fiber,and to cut spicy foods and cheeses but mainly eat
more veggies and lots of fruits and drink alot! I for one love spicy
foods,onions,peppers,garlic,lemonade and cheese. I dont know what to
do or how to begin what he is suggestioning. It made me feel awful
that I gained 10 pounds,I don’t excercise,barely get out of the house
unless it is to go swimming with my son. I don’t even know what
triggers my heartburn,or making me consipated. I’m such a mess right
now,he said he wants to see me in 3 months to see if I improved.What
can I do to just start? I cant be out in the heat else my asthma send
me to the hospital. So Im kind of stuck.What do you all suggest? He
prescribed Nexium,but i thought there was a warning/recall for that
sometime ago.What do you all suggest?
