As far as I can remember I always used to force myself to throwing up for the past 20 yrs. Now I am 40 and think i might have GERD is there a relation with Bulemia, could my constant throwing up have caused this condition and damaged my estophagus?

Thanks

Hi Manuela,


I wish I had an answer for you but this may be one of those situations where you need to go see a doctor. Whether builima caused the GERD or not, there is a way to heal it. I learned from my own experience that when doctors say it's not curable and you have to take meds the rest of your life that's not necessarily true.


I hope you will find your answer and also healing. Don't give up. Look for alternative ways of healing like changing your diet, taking supplements, getting colonics, etc.

Love & hugs, Kristina

Hallo Manu,


Ich bin Amerikanerin aber nur in meinem Pass. Meine Eltern und deren Eltern sind beide von Deutschland aber mein Vater ist mit seiner Familie nach Amerika gezogen als er etwa 10 Jahre alt war. Alle haben die Amerikanische Staatsbuergerschaft angenommen and mein Vater ist als er 18 war zurueck nach Deutschland gekommen und hat meine Mutter kennengelernt. Mein Vater war in der Armee und ich bin in einem Amerkanischen Militaerkrankenhaus geboren. Also hatte ich nie deutsche Staatsbuergerschaft. Ich bin etwa 13 Jahren hier in Amerika.


Colonics - weiss jetzt leider nicht wie die heissen. Es ist wie ein Einlauf, aber professionell gemacht mit einer Maschine die per Schlauch Wassser in dich rein laufen laesst and das Wasser kommt dann wieder von selbst raus. Das ganze dauert etwa 45 Minuten and ist viel, viel besser als ein Einlauf. Weisst Du wie das auf Deutsch heisst - vielleicht Kolonbewaesserung?

Love & hugs, Kristina
