My elderly mother, she’s 75. Has started having severe GERD recently. Back in October of last year she got Thrush really bad and couldn’t hardly eat. I’ve watched her go down to 84 lbs. she was around 128 or so back in October.

She’s tried a number of medications but none of them seem to help. She’s had 3 scopes done and they stretched her esophagus because it was so narrow. But the GERD keeps coming back and stops her from eating and it hurts her too bad to eat. She doesn’t have any teeth either and she can’t swallow pills so whatever she takes has to be crushed or in liquid form.

I’m honestly at my wits end. I love my mother more than anything and don’t know how to help her.

Any ideas? We’ve tried Mylanta, pepto, they’ve had her on several different kind of meds, but I don’t know the names of all of them.

Please give me some ideas please.

Hey guys, big fan of this novel. I read it awhile ago and I was wanting to check it out in audiobook format so I could listen to it at work.

Only problem is, it’s impossible to find in the states on audiobook.

I don’t know why. And I honestly don’t know how I’d go about getting it. I’ve tried a few ways, and Amazon locked Audible.uk account I tried to buy it with.

Any ideas? Or anyone know when, if ever, it’ll get a release in the states? I saw it got rereleased in the UK in November of 2025 but still nothing here.
