Lol i know that feeling forgetting that shit I didnt have to go through the gastroscopy.
its a simple blood test to see if you got the bacetria then you will get treatment either helidac or something else i forget the name most insurance providers DONT cover it so it will be like 150 to buy it all unless you have a kewl docotor like mine who gave me 5 sample kits which is enough for free ;) And then once my treatement is over if i still have heartburn and such he will do an upper GI to check for any stomach issues/ulcers etc But yea you just need a good doctor. He was telling me up until about 85 most doctors thought ulcers were stress related but it turns out most are started with this bacteria that you get through food or drink that is contaimnated it takes so long to get symptoms that you really dont know what you got it from either. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kevin Graeme" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Community" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, October 17, 2002 9:48 AM Subject: RE: YUCK!! > Interesting, I might have to talk to my doctor about this.
