Bile Reflux
Rarer than acid reflux. No real medication to help it. Does anyone here suffer from it at all?Mines was diagnosed after an endoscopy. I was prescribed Mallox, which doesn't help that much. I suspect it's the excesses of Christmas that has made it flare up again. It's a nasty problem. Just makes you feel sick to the stomach. I was sick first thing at work this morning.
Back to the very low fat diet. I'd forgotten how nasty it was

A low fat diet is NOT nasty
My late father had his first heart attack at the age of 52 and it was found that his cholesterol was very high, so we all started watching the fat intake.
I've always loved eating poultry (yes I mean cooked) but cheese was my passion.
That was the thing I found most difficult to do without, but once you become accustomed to it ... no problem.
and just think how smug you'll be when you've got it 'nailed'

Oh I know Rachel. I now severely scolded
. I'm scared to have my cholesterol tested again and I ditched my statins. This is probably the result.Yes, I'll definitely get back on track.

Tried statins for 2 weeks and felt suicidal
Moderate daily exercise (walking into the high street) has been good.
Had a back problem for a number of years and put on weight.

Re: Bile Reflux
Rachel, I am a walker, but haven't even done much of that recently. Infact our walking group cancelled last week's walk because the weather was awful. I can't wait for the better weather to get out there again. Makes you feel better in so many ways. Inside and out.13-01-2015, 08:06 PM

I had an awful night last night. Slept, or tried to sleep, propped up. Anyway, wakened up with a sore throat this morning because of the reflux, so it's small meals for me now, to get rid of this awful stuff.

Re: Bile Reflux
One of the side affects of one of my MS drugs is it has completely got rid of my acid reflux problem, a friend who suffered with bile reflux has reported the same thing. It's Baclofen I believe a few years ago they were starting to prescribe it for bile reflux as it was so successful in MS patients. Might be worth asking you doctor if they are still prescribing it.|
