My mother used to say I had a “nervous stomach.”
Well, things reached a peak when I was 39. I got to the point where I couldn’t eat or drink anything (even water) after 2:00 in the afternoon or I would be very nauseous and throw up.
I spent a year going to the doctors. First my primary care doctor, then a gastroenterologist. They ran repeated tests and only determined that I had GERD.
After a year of throwing up 4 or 5 days out of every week (I lost 65 pounds), the gastroenterologist finally said, “I can’t do anything more for you. This is just what you have to live with.”
Well, no way was I going to put up with that answer!!!
I made an appointment with Dr. Wangen … Within 2 weeks I stopped being nauseous!!! I was poisoning my body every day without realizing it!
It has been 3 years … and I am so much better! No more Tums! No more Pepsid! No more drugs!!!!
I really feel that Dr. Wangen has saved my life; I no longer have to cancel vacations or invitations from friends because I am not feeling up to it. (You should have seen me on my honeymoon; I know every bathroom at Disneyland!)
The quality of my life is so much better after seeing Dr. Wangen. I would (and do!) recommend him to anyone who is tired of having their MD just prescribe drugs to fix a symptom instead of trying to find out what is behind the symptom and treating the cause.
