Fuck.
You sure? This was given by the doctor that treated me...
I may not have an ulcer but it's likely I do.
Oh boy...
Well, we're going to see a gastroenterologist very soon so we'll see...
What food and herbal medicines do you recommend?
I want stuff that works, not "alternative medicine" or snake oil.
These medications are normal for your condition and pretty low-risk. It's good you're seeing a gastroenterologist soon, but I wouldn't worry about continuing to take what you were given as prescribed.
You mean the Trintellix and the anti-GERD, right?
Because I am taking what they JUST gave me two nights ago, just fyi.
For now.
No, I'm just talking about the ones you said you're taking, ondansetron (for nausea), omeprazole (PPI, which is maybe what you're calling anti-GERD, but it's also used to treat ulcers), and maalox. These are all completely normal for the condition you're describing. I don't know what you were prescribed the Trintellix for, and it sounds like something you should definitely talk with your doctor about!
Yeah, I'm not taking Trintellix anymore. Someone told me that it fucked up their friend's GI tract as well.
Oh, the omeprazole is not anti-GERD, but yeah
Psyllium husks (metamucil) is good for mucilage. I can't recommend specific herbs because I don't know your body and specific contraindications. For example, comfrey root makes plenty of mucilage, but has it's own risks. I'm willing to take certain risks with myself, not recommend them to you.
You may find mint teas comforting. You may also consider investing in a solid herbal/plant medicine book. Nexium has serious side effects too but the medical association members have zero problems writing prescriptions for it. So perhaps snake oil is in the eye of the beholder.

Mint tea!
I prefer green tea... but is mint tea better? Can I have both? Can't hurt, I suppose...
Let's see...
I am Autistic (ADHD as well). Maybe OCD. Maybe even bipolar.
I thought I had sleep apnea. I 99% probably don't.
I hate NSAIDs now and always had an increasingly bad reaction to them.
My brother has canola oil allergies. I may too.
I am lactose intolerant, as mentioned before.
I'm short, I guess? Dunno if that affects anything. Overweight, not fat, but I've gotten chubbier since the pandemic, ngl.
I'll look into this more, but in this day and age of AI and misinformation?
Ngl, but I'll still take my chances with "proven snake oil science" over ingesting the "snake oil" fucking directly down your gullet, you know?
