Hi John @beststart I know how you feel. I had an upper endoscopy about 17 year years ago. I had a lot of painful stomach problems and the primary care provider finally decided to check me. No one ever believed me or they didn't want to help me because my health insurance wasn't very good. I found out I had a hiatal hernia, acid reflux (GERD), and gastritis. I have diverticulosis too but don't think the endoscopy caught that one. I sure have a bunch of digestive problems. I couldn't take any of the medications because they made me feel weak and hard to breath. I do take some digestive enzymes for it that don't make me sick. I can't seem to tolerate probiotics though. I'm doing OK with all of the digestive issues that keeps me from over eating. I am also not able to eat a lot of certain foods and that is a blessing in disguise. I hope you are doing well, John without all the problems I have. I hope your digestion isn't as painful as mine. Have a wonderful weekend. Barb !BBH !CTP #ctp

I am sorry that you had such extensive GI issues, Barb.
My procedure went well, and there were no residual effects.
Thanks for sharing, @adcreatordesign

Thank you @beststart aka John. I am fine if I am careful. I was glad to know though because people were telling me for years that I made it all up. That is why it's a good reason to know the truth about symptoms so people stop saying something untrue about ones self. Oh, I'm so glad your procedure went well. Your welcome John. I'm glad you liked my story. !BBH !CTP
