Healing Esophagus (after Endoscopy)

Anyone have ideas for remedies to heal the esophageal lining?

I had an upper endoscopy two days ago and am still in a fair amount of pain, especially when I swallow (including water). It feels like I have pills lodged in my esophagus the whole way down. The doctor who performed the endoscopy said that he did not do any biopsies of the esophagus, so it must just be an "uncommon" amount of irritation from the procedure itself.

I cannot swallow pills because of this, nor can I take any of my alcohol-based extracts because of the sedative they used, so it's been interesting to see how much of an effect my normal supplement regimen actually has on my day-to-day functioning. Lots of other symptoms worsening.

I have been taking the following to help with this: slippery elm lozenges, DGL (licorice) chewables, vitamin D chewables, licorice tea, chamomile tea, salt water, various cough drops containing zinc and xylitol, cromolyn sodium.

I am exhausted and deeply demoralized by submitting to tests that don't find anything and cause harm and relapses, by doctors who do not listen to my concerns even after the harmful effects are occurring. Participating in the conventional medical system feels like madness, even for healthy people. It's traumatizing.

Any ideas?

Thanks, you two.

I do have some aloe vera I forgot to list, and I will sip that through the day.

And yes, I guess I should know by now to expect the unexpected with medical stuff. I was terrified that the sedation would cause neurological issues, which it has done to some degree, but they are mild compared to my poor esophagus, which literally never has been an issue before!

I understand. For whatever reason, few if any of my doctors ever wanted to do any tests or procedures on me other than bloodwork, an echocardiogram, and urinalysis on me. I had to push for much of what I got. It’s like they didn’t expect to find anything or thought I was exaggerating or they didn’t care. I don’t know. Doctors in my area don’t do much of anything. They’re lazy and complacent instead of aggressive. At least it appears that way.

After finding out I have Lyme, I have declined the annual chest xray. I haven’t had a mammogram or Pap smear since 2017. I had planned to do it this year after getting my insurance back, but things went south quickly after and I let it slide. Now, it’s like I don’t care anymore.

If I did get cancer, I don’t even know what I would do about it. I don’t have a husband or kids to have to stick around for. Just my mom. I have CIRS/mold/MCS/biotoxin illness so it’s not likely I would/could do chemo. Radiation maybe. Surgery would be very scary - having to stop herbal treatments, anesthesia, staying in a hospital with probable mold plus fragrance on all the nurses, visitors, etc., plus all the trauma that would be on a sick, dysfunctional body and the unpredictable affect on the immune system and its response - either suppressed or hyper, leading to a cytokine storm.

Sorry, I didn’t mean to get off track like that. Oh, well!!
