I have a 2 & 7 year old and had c-sections with both of them. I now have GERD and did not have it before. Anyone else have this?

Taking heartburn medication prior to drinking seems to work. I’ve tried it a few times, and nothing really bad has happened. But I was wondering if this is safe or not. Because I know of no other way to lessen the effect of the flush.

Happy New Years!

I’m 22 weeks pregnant and I’ve been having terrible acid reflux & heartburn for a while now. It’s gotten progressively worse and I’m getting a bit concerned. The acid gets so bad that I’m throwing up at night and now I’m getting sharp glass like pains in my stomach (up by my rib cage). I’ve just started taking Zantac (doctors orders) as I can’t take it anymore….but I’m worried. Has anyone dealt with this before? Any advice?

I can’t call my OBGYN until the 2nd, and I’m worried about the baby. If the pain is high, it shouldn’t be anything to worrry about….right? (babywise)

Thanks!

No More Sloppy Joe for me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Thanks.
P.S. I didn’t have sex to get pregnant, so figure that out and im married!!!

ITS AS IF I GET HEARTBURN FROM AIR AND WATER. IVE TAKEN A SPOONFULL OF MUSTARD, EATEN MINTS AND A WHOLE BOTTLE OF PEPTO MAX. YET HERE I STILL SIT WITH THE BURN.

please help my son has been prescribed zantac and reglan he is only 3 months old . Reglan is an antagonist and messes with dopamine. Doesnt seem safe to mess with an infants dopamine depression? Anyone know of any really good natural remedies???/

I’ve heard that enzymes can help bad breath, digestion, heartburn, and a number of other things. What is a good source of enzymes? I’m looking for a food that can be added into my diet, or a natural organic vitamin or supplement. And what are all the health benifits of drinking vinager daily?
Our bodies produce enzymes naturally, but they aid in digestion and the other things that I posted in my question. Also drinking Vinager burns fat in the body. We get ulcers from other things we eat. I thought this was the Alternative Medicine Board!

I have been on Protonix since May and within the past month my dr upped me from 40mg to 80mg of protonix daily (one in morning and one at night). I still often times notice that I have the chest pressure and bloating I had from my acid reflux before. I burp a lot and even when im not I still have the feeling I need to burp. FYI ALERT – My stools are soft and sometimes feel like they are acidic (Kinda like diarrhea feels) but its not that soft. I have even had a streak of blood in my stool and it hurts when its at the last part of coming out (sorry).

I dont know what to do anymore. I’ve had 2 barrium studies (one esophagus and one stomach and slightly below). He said everything completely normal, no acid reflux or anything. They did an Hpylori test and it came back completely normal.

I do have other symptoms such as racing heart (at times), heart PVCs (Flutters), wake up at night or in the morning sweating, woke up a few times with an arm sore like I had exercised all night, dizziness, tightness in my neck muscles all the way down to my shoulders, and sinus issues (stuffy nose, slight pain in face and headaches under eyebrows daily).

I know this is a huge array of symptoms but I wanted to let everyone know everything thats been going on. This has all been happening various symptoms at various times, usually for a week or so at a time and goes away for a week, sometimes more or less. I’ve noticed the week before my period some things get worse like PVCs, rapid heart rate, irritibility, anxiety. I do have some issues with anxiety full term ever since about 5 months after my dad died (most of my anxiety is health related).

Anyways if you can help me at all PLEASE do..Even if this sounds simliar to something you’ve experienced, I’d love to hear! I need to soften the symptoms at the least.
Another thing I should add is I’ve had 6 EKGs, 5 panels of completely blood tests, blood cultures, thyroid testing twice, CT scan with contrast of neck, chest and abdomen, 3 chest xrays, ultrasound of gallbladder, liver, kidneys, pancreas, appendix and aorota. I am scheduled to have an ECHO and stress test this week even tho cardio dr says hes sure nothing is wrong with my heart. Everything came back normal except for a slight vitamin D defiency which I take vita D for everyday.
