Thank you all so much for your support, suggestions and advice. We will respond to each and all personally. Thank you again, we are overwhelmed by your kindness 🙏😊
Could tell how stressful and scary this is for everyone. Luckily prognosis is good, based on personal experience having all those issues and being a medical professional. 1. Clear up the h. pylori with antibiotics. Easy. 2. Take a daily PPI for the GERD. 40mg pantoprazole once/daily. Easy to get in the Philippines. 3. Cut back as much as possible on oily/fatty and spicy food. 4. Monitor stress and practice mindfulness techniques. That will take care of the biological and psychological causes and recovery should be swift within 1-2 months (with long term positive effects). Good luck 🍀
Trust me she will be fine. Just eat the right food and follow the doctors order. Just think positive. and avoid emotional stress. Anxiety can make it worst.
Jane's diagnosis is not as dramatic as you think. I'm a retired RN who had a similar diagnosis made when I was in my 30s, but I had gastric ulcers, duodenal ulcers, and jejunal ulcers. a group of doctors decided that the best treatment was to remove my stomach. I refused, I said treat the H. pylori and treat the gerd but leave my stomach. I'm now 72 years old with NO stomach problems. To treat the gerd, your doctor will prescribe medication that he may describe as antacids they aren't antacids, they are H2 blockers, to simplify the explanation, they reduce the production of acid, you do not want to eliminate acid production. AVOID antacids, they will neutralize all acid in the stomach and cause what's known as rebound acidity, making the situation worse. The diagnosis isn't great but it's not as bad as you think.
I'm a semi-retired cardiothoracic surgeon and I concur with you nurse Robin. Proton pump inhibitors are quite effective as well. I remember in the 1960's, 1970's and early 1980's hiatal hernia surgeries were not that effective. Many patients died within a year of surgery from complications of GERD. My mother had hiatal hernia surgery in 1976, at age 57, to repair a severely herniated flap and a perforation that had formed on her lower esophagus from Barrett's esophagus. The refluxed acid had dripped from the perforation and scared her left lung tissue. Her incision went from her sternum, under her left breast crease to just below her left scapula. They broke two ribs to perform the repair and severed a nerve which regrew over 6 months. It took her 3 months to feel better and about a year to be pain free from the procedure. The surgical procedure was performed by a young cardiothoracic surgeon that had just learned a new technique for my mother's type of medical issues. My mother lived until 97 years old with no further reflux issues or pain. That's 40 years of extended life. Without the surgery she was given a year to live. My mother also had a history of bleeding ulcers from 18 until 28. I thought you might find her scenario interesting. Certainly glad to hear you are doing well.
@@robinborkowski5598 thank you my friend. Jane has had these symptoms for many years but recently they have become worse. She has years of Proton pump inhibitors with no effect. Her diet is as good as possible. The H Pylori can be treated but her Grade D GERD cannot. It is too far gone now but can be kept at bay with lifestyle changes. Her esophagus shows signs of change with discolouration. We though are still confident we can find ways for her to live a normal and healthy life 😊
@@AdamandJanesLifestyle I understand, but stay positive. I made my comment as short as I could, but my story also extends for years and I only encountered treatment when my ex-wife tricked me to go to a hospital to visit our friend the president of the hospital. This was after multiple bouts of vomiting blood, both coffee grounds and bright red, bright red indicates esophageal involvement. My point is , your still far from Doom and Gloom, stay positive. I havn't had any GI problems for 30 years now. Good Luck
Hi Adam & Jane, Just wanted to say that we know what it's like to have this kind of diagnosis. My wife Lorna who's from Samar was diagnosed with almost the exact same things that Jane has, when she was 41 back in the USA. She just celebrated her 70th birthday just a couple days ago. She does takie medication for the GERD and she watches what she eats and she also does alot of herbal meds like malungay and etc. We're enjoying our life here in the Philippines and always positive. She gets a check up every year back in the states, but for the past 30 yrs, has lived a rather nornal life. Enjoy life and stay strong and positive and I'm sure she'll be just fine. We found that with the GERD, it's best not to sleep flat while sleeping but to use pillows to elevate a little to help prevent the acid from coming up.at night.
@@davefrye2263 Glad to hear your wife is doing well over the past 29 years. My mother always had hand made 3 and 1/2 inch high wooded blocks with a slight indentation in the center placed under the floor footings of her headboard to raise her head and thorax at a higher tilt angle than her hips to prevent any reverse acid flow while sleeping. Sometimes she used a sleeping wedge cushion on the mattress or under it. An adjustable bed is also an option. I'm sure you know this already. Where are you located in the Philippines. We are located on the outskirts of Ormoc City, Leyte. Wishing you both continued health.
@@davefrye2263 thank you so much. Jane adapted many of these things for a while now and has good and bad days. We think it can be kept minimal so Jane can still have a normal life. God bless you both 😊
@@AdamandJanesLifestyle 45 degrees the height of the pillows, not flat to prevent acid travelling to esophagus thru the mouth. That acid coming from stomach is more powerful than the bleach, that's why it will burn or damage the surrounding tissues of the esophagus that will eventually cause Cancer to some people.
My prayers to you, Jane. I truly believe that with hard work to follow the doctor's methods of healing as well as the herbal remedies, you will find relief. Adam, your love and care will continue to be instrumental in Jane's healing. May God bless and keep you all!
I am positive Jane will overcome all this. My uncle has hiatal hernia and he's 85yrs old, never had it operated, he has GERD, he used to take proton pump inhibitors like Prevacid, Prilosec and now he would take Gaviscon when needed. Lifestyle change is a must, avoid food that triggers acid reflux, sleep with your head elevated a bit, go on your left side. I myself have Laryngophareangal reflux which my doc says is more serious than Gerd so I need to be more cautious with what I eat. Hang in there Jane all will be well.
Prayers for Jane’s recovery. She will be ok Adam. Do everything you need to do as far as medical treatment even if means going temporarily back to England or the US.
Happy to see its not serious like cancer. My friend had an esophagus that wouldnt close correctly and caused much pain and several ulcers, but she takes a small pill every day and hasnt had any more issues in 20 years.
I also suffered from Gerd for many years. Proton inhibitors didnt really help that much in my case. I always had visits at the ER. Eventually, I learned to live with it and it was more of a lifestyle change - avoided triggers like citrus fruits, coffee, regular exercise, and tried to stay calm most times since I get attacks when anxious or under stressful situations. I also slept on elevated head or on my left side.
Early detection is better than cure. Pray...hope... And don't worry. Miracles happen everyday. Be strong and trust God. Will include Jane in our healing prayers.
So sorry to hear about this 😞🙏 l hope Jane can overcome this and I'm sure she will with help and love from you. Life always throws unexpected things at us. Praying for Jane 🙏🙏🙏❤❤
Thank God it is not worse my friend. We will continue to pray for you both and hope that the gerd can be managed through medication and allow her live a long and comfortable life - with you helping her laugh along the way I'd would say her prognosis is GREAT! Praying always!
Hi Adam and Jane - we are praying for Jane's recovery and declaring full healing for her esophagal issues and closing the Hiatal hernia! btw We will be in Ormoc in October. If you feel up to it we would love to meet up.
Hi! Jane, try the malongay. Mashed the leaves then collect one tablespoon of juice, drink it 30 minutes before breakfast for one week. Pray for you Jane get well soon 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thank you for another lovely video, and I wish you all the best and a very good recovery for Jane and hope and pray for a speedy recovery from the challenges she has had.🙏🌹💕
Jane got this Adam she’s a very strong woman. As a nurse I believe in science but I also believe that God is still on the throne and He has the last say. Keep on praying. Always try your best to walk by faith and not by sight. I’ll be praying for you❤
Bro, sorry to hear about Jane's health report. Live life each day the best you can. Dont worry about things you have no control of. Pray, pray things will go your way. You have a great family you'll be ok.
Praying for Jane 🙏🏻 and you all. I'm sorry about the seriousness and complications of Jane's condition. Hopefully with the H. Pylori being treated it will reduce the risk of ulcers and ultimately the possibility of cancer cells in the future. Then once the acid is reduced via diet and lifestyle changes it will reduce the flare ups and enable the esophagus to start healing or stabilise.
Thank you so much my friend. Exactly what we thought too. The danger is any further changes in the Esophagus caused by acid. H Pylori can cause more acid, ulcers and generally can bring on cancer. God bless you 😊
I was recently diagnosed with GERD, specifically Barrett Espohagus. I changed my diet.and take 20 MG of Omerparazole every day. So far so good. Be patient and keep a good spirit. Prayers to Jane for speedy recovery. Just a guy in Florida. 🌴
Sorry to hear this but glad it’s been diagnosed and Jane can start working with her doctor for the treatment,you might want to look at alkaline foods /diet and see if it helps.
good thing you brought it out in your vlog my friend, now you have all this prayer warriors all over the world cheering for lovely gardener Jane. take care my friend and keep on loving. amping Jane.
Wow you had me crying Adam it all sounds very scary but from what I've read on the comments there seems to be light ahead of this dark Tunnel all the Best Jane and hope your feel better soon. All the Best to you and your family too.
Thank you so much my friend. I wanted to document the real emotions as I know my family are also worried and watch as well. We are still a little raw at times but determined and strong to fight this and overcome. God bless you 😊
Stay mentally and physically strong and keep your faith in our Lord my friends. We are still looking forward and excited to our journey as new friends when we are finally there enjoying our retirement in Ormoc. For now prayers for all of you especially Jane.
I am praying for Jane that the "lord heal Jane from whatever she is going threw bring her peace and to remove whatever is trying to cause her trouble in the mighty name of Jesus" Amen.
What a selfish prayer. “Thy will be done.” That’s the proper prayer. What if it is his will that she go through this. If there is one thing I know about God it is that he always allowes his children to go through a LOT of hardships to bring them closer to Him. Ever read the Bible?
@@DataHoarders I get your point and agree that God allows believers that follow Christ's principles and example to suffer through hardships and face obstacles to build steadfast faith, and strengthen their character of conviction to honor and serve the sanctity of Jesus sacrifice for humankind. Being faithful to God does not mean one will escape the difficulties that affect earthly human life. There will be suffering and obstacles in life, however, the just reward is fellowshipping with the Father in the heavenly place he has prepared for sincere believers.
I was diagnosed with GERD too in 2020. I had it bad then and was prescribed meds that I never took. I changed my diet gradually since, along with exercise and daily meditation. My symptoms seem to have gone away without me noticing. Still, it's best to take health matters seriously. Most of all keep your spirit high, my friend. My best.✌
Keep your head up and don't lose heart. A good strategy with a clever combination of conventional and complementary medicine is important. Consistent implementation, optimism and full support from the family are also important. Jane is still young and has every chance of recovery. Good luck.
the endoscopy can check for stomach ulcer, any esophagus irritation, barrett’s diseases ( which is esophageal cancer), they will get a tissue to check for cancer and the H-pylori , they will give her a mild sedative and she will be awake right away, good luck
Hi. Sorry to hear about your wifes diagnosis. I have Barretts Esophagus. Have had it for 11 years since I was diagnosed. Been on PPI's for longer. What I can tell you is if I stay away from Caffeine and orange juice I am fine. Caffeine is the worse thing I can have. Mainly coffee and I love coffee. I will take a sip or 2. I personally am not worried about it . I came to the Philippines and my health has gotten a lot better. Don't Threat Yahweh has a plan. Now she can start feeling better. Shalom May Yahshua Bless and Heal You
I feel for Jane as I have struggled with the same ailment for years. I was initially diagnosed by my ENT, based on my symptoms of persistent cought and sore throat, with GERD in 2009. An endoscopy conducted by a gastroenterologit sometime in 2014 confirmed I had GERD and H pylori bacteria in my gut. I guess, after 15 years my immune system has fully adapted to all the evils of GERD I am now 76 and have been largely symptoms free for the past 2-3 years. I can now eat and drink almost anything except alcohol. For as long as one follows diet restricions and take the medications there will alsways be a light at the end of tunnel and I expect Jane to get well; and BTW just an opinion. this is not a life threatening ailment so relax.
Really wishing Jane all the best. This is such a stressful time for you all, but if you can bear it, I suggest that you get Jane another NHS appointment in England and get a second opinion on everything there. You may (I emphasise MAY) hear a different story. I have personal experience of Filipino doctors, however well-meaning, mis-diagnosing a condition, mostly due to lack of resources in the hospital.
I had similar for 2years went hospital in uk done blood tests x rays urine tests, nothing showed and went home, they put down to anxiety, went to my doctor I really thought I had cancer or a heart attack the pain was unbearable when it came on chest was tight couldn’t concentrate couldn’t do nothing, my Gp prescribed lansoprazole tablets from the very first tablet it cleared and got better and now I’ve fully recovered after a 2months taking the tablets. Treatment for gurd acid reflux ulcers this does the lot. Sure Jane has the same issues.
Jane wishing your speedy recovery. You will be fine, just follow your doctor’s order and watch what you eat. Try to avoid fried food, process food, and stress. I had it for so many years, but I’m much better now and not taking any meds. I cut back eating out and cook my own simple food from my garden and use only salt, pepper, lemon or kalamansi as seasoning. I make my own tea fresh from the garden( mint and tarragon is my favorite). Totally agree with you Adam, need a change of life style and you can do this together.
Sending 🙏 prayers for you and your family, as a person that suffers with the exact same thing. You are right in that you guys will live a long and prospers life and most days Jane won't even remember she has that issue God bless you all
i am glad she went through the endoscopy, Barrett’s disease will not show up in blood test but H-pylori does, so far it’s not cancerous, she just have to continue taking the PPI (proton pump inhibitor) like pantoprazole or protonix, with the hiatal hernia it will exacerbate the acid reflux, she needs to sleep with her head of bed elevated, avoid acidic food specially alcohol, chocolates, small feedings and can’t lay down after eating…. my sister was diagnosed with barrett’s disease for years and she’s on protonix for long time and follow up endoscopy yearly…. Another recommendation you can get a Secondary opinion in England if you plan to visit there in the future ….
Thank you so much for your advice. It's very helpful. We are pretty certain the doctor is spot on and accurate. We can deal with H Pylori first and hope things improve after 😊
@@AdamandJanesLifestyle I have been suffering with acid reflux for years in fact it made me weak, just no energy, hard to take a deep breath, it mess up everything, I end up in the hospital they thought i had a heart attack, cardiac blood test and stress test were negative, they gave me nitroglycerin paste which helps me to relax my esophagus and able to breathe better, i had an EGD and they found out i had esophageal erosion, irritation and my esophagus was red from acidic food I’ve eating, soda, mind you I dont drink, i was placed on protonix 40mg a day for 3 months and it went away and I’m back to myself, as a healthcare provider I know these symptoms thats why I seek help right away, I can relate to Jane symptoms, now I bought a bed that I can elevate my head like a hospital bed but its not, it is very common now called sleep number bed, or you can buy a wedge pillow for Jane to prevent acid reflux specially if shes sleeping and the acid reflux normally happens while your laying down or asleep… take care, praying for you all and Jane recovery 🙏
That is a lot to process for sure. Hopefully now you know what is going on, and the medical staff can treat and address the issues so it does not progress. Seems like you had a really good doctor that has a good bedside manner and is good at what he does. Certainly sending you and your family prayers and well wishes!!
Thank you all so much for your support, suggestions and advice. We will respond to each and all personally. Thank you again, we are overwhelmed by your kindness 🙏😊
Could tell how stressful and scary this is for everyone. Luckily prognosis is good, based on personal experience having all those issues and being a medical professional.
1. Clear up the h. pylori with antibiotics. Easy.
2. Take a daily PPI for the GERD. 40mg pantoprazole once/daily. Easy to get in the Philippines.
3. Cut back as much as possible on oily/fatty and spicy food.
4. Monitor stress and practice mindfulness techniques.
That will take care of the biological and psychological causes and recovery should be swift within 1-2 months (with long term positive effects).
Good luck 🍀

Stay mentally and physically strong and keep your faith in our Lord my friends. We are still looking forward and excited to our journey as new friends when we are finally there enjoying our retirement in Ormoc. For now prayers for all of you especially Jane.
I am praying for Jane that the "lord heal Jane from whatever she is going threw bring her peace and to remove whatever is trying to cause her trouble in the mighty name of Jesus" Amen.
What a selfish prayer. “Thy will be done.” That’s the proper prayer. What if it is his will that she go through this. If there is one thing I know about God it is that he always allowes his children to go through a LOT of hardships to bring them closer to Him. Ever read the Bible?
@@DataHoarders I get your point and agree that God allows believers that follow Christ's principles and example to suffer through hardships and face obstacles to build steadfast faith, and strengthen their character of conviction to honor and serve the sanctity of Jesus sacrifice for humankind. Being faithful to God does not mean one will escape the difficulties that affect earthly human life. There will be suffering and obstacles in life, however, the just reward is fellowshipping with the Father in the heavenly place he has prepared for sincere believers.

Praying for Jane, 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thank you for your kind words 😊
I was diagnosed with GERD too in 2020. I had it bad then and was prescribed meds that I never took. I changed my diet gradually since, along with exercise and daily meditation. My symptoms seem to have gone away without me noticing. Still, it's best to take health matters seriously. Most of all keep your spirit high, my friend. My best.✌
I highly recommend my doctor as I have had breast cancer diagnosis.
Praying for Jane that the Lord will use the medications to heal her condition. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
My wife and I live in Tanauan Leyte, Barangy ADA, we are thinking about you and will be praying for you…
Hi Adam, Jane and Isabella. My heart goes out to your family
Hope you get better Jane 🥰 🙏
Thank you for your kind words 😊
Jane will be okay 🙏👍
Thank you 😊
Keep your head up and don't lose heart. A good strategy with a clever combination of conventional and complementary medicine is important. Consistent implementation, optimism and full support from the family are also important. Jane is still young and has every chance of recovery. Good luck.
Thanks for the tips! God bless you 😊
Prayers going out to you all!
Thank you so much my friend 😊
🙏🙏🙏 best of luck and yes, stay positive
Thank you so much my friend. Hope you are well and everything. Step by step we will get Jane back to where so was. God bless you 😊
Yes I’m dealing with that now and I need to quit eating then going to bed, take anti acid meds right now, stay safe and active always
the endoscopy can check for stomach ulcer, any esophagus irritation, barrett’s diseases ( which is esophageal cancer), they will get a tissue to check for cancer and the H-pylori , they will give her a mild sedative and she will be awake right away, good luck
Hi. Sorry to hear about your wifes diagnosis. I have Barretts Esophagus. Have had it for 11 years since I was diagnosed. Been on PPI's for longer. What I can tell you is if I stay away from Caffeine and orange juice I am fine. Caffeine is the worse thing I can have. Mainly coffee and I love coffee. I will take a sip or 2. I personally am not worried about it . I came to the Philippines and my health has gotten a lot better. Don't Threat Yahweh has a plan. Now she can start feeling better. Shalom May Yahshua Bless and Heal You
I feel for Jane as I have struggled with the same ailment for years. I was initially diagnosed by my ENT, based on my symptoms of persistent cought and sore throat, with GERD in 2009. An endoscopy conducted by a gastroenterologit sometime in 2014 confirmed I had GERD and H pylori bacteria in my gut. I guess, after 15 years my immune system has fully adapted to all the evils of GERD I am now 76 and have been largely symptoms free for the past 2-3 years. I can now eat and drink almost anything except alcohol. For as long as one follows diet restricions and take the medications there will alsways be a light at the end of tunnel and I expect Jane to get well; and BTW just an opinion. this is not a life threatening ailment so relax.
Pantoprazole is a treatment for acid reflux here in the US. This is a prescribed medication and a bit expensive than Omniprazole (over the counter).
Really wishing Jane all the best. This is such a stressful time for you all, but if you can bear it, I suggest that you get Jane another NHS appointment in England and get a second opinion on everything there. You may (I emphasise MAY) hear a different story. I have personal experience of Filipino doctors, however well-meaning, mis-diagnosing a condition, mostly due to lack of resources in the hospital.
Jane's curable you just have to patient and do all that can be done.
I had similar for 2years went hospital in uk done blood tests x rays urine tests, nothing showed and went home, they put down to anxiety, went to my doctor I really thought I had cancer or a heart attack the pain was unbearable when it came on chest was tight couldn’t concentrate couldn’t do nothing, my Gp prescribed lansoprazole tablets from the very first tablet it cleared and got better and now I’ve fully recovered after a 2months taking the tablets. Treatment for gurd acid reflux ulcers this does the lot. Sure Jane has the same issues.
Gws Jane, prayers up!
I’m so sorry…not a particularly religious man but I will pray for her recovery…
Thank you so much. It means a lot to us 🙏😊
Jane wishing your speedy recovery. You will be fine, just follow your doctor’s order and watch what you eat. Try to avoid fried food, process food, and stress. I had it for so many years, but I’m much better now and not taking any meds. I cut back eating out and cook my own simple food from my garden and use only salt, pepper, lemon or kalamansi as seasoning. I make my own tea fresh from the garden( mint and tarragon is my favorite). Totally agree with you Adam, need a change of life style and you can do this together.
Aw, my Thoughts and Prayers for a speedy recovery from all of it🙏☝️💯💪💖✝️👩🏻
Sending 🙏 prayers for you and your family, as a person that suffers with the exact same thing. You are right in that you guys will live a long and prospers life and most days Jane won't even remember she has that issue God bless you all
i am glad she went through the endoscopy, Barrett’s disease will not show up in blood test but H-pylori does, so far it’s not cancerous, she just have to continue taking the PPI (proton pump inhibitor) like pantoprazole or protonix, with the hiatal hernia it will exacerbate the acid reflux, she needs to sleep with her head of bed elevated, avoid acidic food specially alcohol, chocolates, small feedings and can’t lay down after eating…. my sister was diagnosed with barrett’s disease for years and she’s on protonix for long time and follow up endoscopy yearly…. Another recommendation you can get a Secondary opinion in England if you plan to visit there in the future ….
Thank you so much for your advice. It's very helpful. We are pretty certain the doctor is spot on and accurate. We can deal with H Pylori first and hope things improve after 😊
@@AdamandJanesLifestyle I have been suffering with acid reflux for years in fact it made me weak, just no energy, hard to take a deep breath, it mess up everything, I end up in the hospital they thought i had a heart attack, cardiac blood test and stress test were negative, they gave me nitroglycerin paste which helps me to relax my esophagus and able to breathe better, i had an EGD and they found out i had esophageal erosion, irritation and my esophagus was red from acidic food I’ve eating, soda, mind you I dont drink, i was placed on protonix 40mg a day for 3 months and it went away and I’m back to myself, as a healthcare provider I know these symptoms thats why I seek help right away, I can relate to Jane symptoms,
now I bought a bed that I can elevate my head like a hospital bed but its not, it is very common now called sleep number bed, or you can buy a wedge pillow for Jane to prevent acid reflux specially if shes sleeping and the acid reflux normally happens while your laying down or asleep… take care, praying for you all and Jane recovery 🙏
My prayers are with you and your family
Thank you so much 🙏
That is a lot to process for sure. Hopefully now you know what is going on, and the medical staff can treat and address the issues so it does not progress. Seems like you had a really good doctor that has a good bedside manner and is good at what he does. Certainly sending you and your family prayers and well wishes!!
Bless all three of you and wish you wisdom on the decisions that are to be made🤗
Thank you so much 🙏
Modern medicine and new treatments are always becoming available. Prayers and things will be fine
I hope medication and lifestyle change will provide healing and relief.
We will do whatever we must my friend 😊
