I forgot another symptom that I just got

I'm sorry, but I read another post, and I just had an endoscopy for the very same thing this person was talking about.  I have esophogeal stricture and gastroparesis, which just started recently.  Acid reflux is HORRIBLE, and they had to "open" my esophogus, because they said it was too small.  Now I take Motilium, not FDA approved here, I get it from New Zealand.

Thanks for your comments.  Does the Motilium help you at all?  I just started it, and I can't take the prescribed 4 pills a day, because about 1/2 hr. after I take one, I am in the bathroom and can't leave the house, so, I guess they are working really well for me!  My acid reflux is much better, I used to take twice the dosage of the med I'm on, but now I'm down to the regular dosage of just one a day.

I did compare prices for Canada and New Zealand, I don't know where you get your's from, but for 300 (10mg) pills, I pay $48.00, and no shipping.  Is your price better than that? If it is, will you share the place that you get yours from?  If you want to know where I get mine from, just let me know.  But, it seems to take forever to get here, SLOW BOAT!!

I order domperidone (generic Motilium)  from Canada Drugs.  You might want to compare prices.
I had surgery (Nissen procedure) for GERD (reflux) which did not help.  If I'd paid attention I could have found out that it rarely works for the respiratory version (hoarseness and cough) of GERD.  After 7 years I could finally bend over without losing my voice or throwing up.   Have tried most of the acid blockers and am now taking Kapidex, which seems to be working well.
