This thread is quite long and I skimmed thru it…and just doesn’t seem like you have much if any relief!

Have you and/or Dr identified the source (s) of acid reflux?

Are you adding to your hurt by being on cycle?

Do you have a high tolerance for pain? I do and it’s not always a benefit!


I was diagnosed with an autoimmune immune disease. I wasn’t able to function. Some days not able to leave my home. My dr was treating me with meds that were not working. My AI is in digestive system and I had bleeding ulcers, developed iron deficiencies, unable to properly adsorb but nutrients…body in duress!!!

My digestive system wasn’t going to get better if I didn’t take a more holistic approach and started with diet. But by this time my ulcers couldn’t be healed by and my Dr knew his treatment plan was failing!

I believe I needed to be a self advocate so he did the right thing by me (and I didn’t allow him to NOT do BETTER). He got me on an program with new med that blocked the protein causing the inflammation. After one injection, the symptoms that were preventing me from going to work where abated.

So perhaps you need to change your approach and / or doctor needs to change his!

I wish you the very best on a full recovery!!

I don’t think we’ve identified the cause, I’m hoping the endoscopy I’m having on Friday will give us some answers.

I can’t find any information on high testosterone and acid reflux, I’m not taking orals or anything crazy. I have stopped my blast and I’m back on a trt dose as of two weeks ago.

I would say I’m always in pain for one reason or another so I’m very use to it lol

I’m hoping between my gi doctor and this throat doctor im seeing I can get this figured out and under control. I have to say im not a fan at all of my throat doctors plan of having me drink nothing but water, no protein powder, no dairy, etc. I drink mostly water anyways and I eat clean 90% of the time, but I’m gonna lose my mind trying to stick to this. I feel like I already know what gives me an issue so this seems like overkill.
