I have had Gastroesophogeal reflux since 2006 and my G.I. doctor gave me a list of what I shouldn’t eat. I used to have it really badly and was on like 20 different medications like muscle relaxers (which is a new treatment for GERD) and really strong acid reducers. I stopped taking them around November and I don’t go to the doctors because Ihaven’t gotten sick like my mother (who is a nurse) said I would from not taking my medicine. My mom also stopped taking me to the doctor because she said it would be stupid to do so since I don’t take my medicine. Any suggestions on the food?

Was on a round of antibiotics (cephalexin) for a bladder infection. Had to quit the meds mid-way through because I got severe stomach cramps and horrible heartburn. I tried it with food, I tried it without food — no difference. One day after I stopped taking it, the stomach cramps and heartburn stopped.

Hi, for the past 4 days I have been getting very bad heartburn which comes and goes despite medical treatment (prescribed and over the counter medicine.) I went to have an ECG scan today and told my heart rate and pulse are faster than the average heart and I have to go back next week and talk to my doctor about why my heart rate is faster etc…anyone heard of anything like this? Does it sound serious? The heartburn is driving me mad and interrupting my sleep and work x
Well I try to eat healthy meals like salads, roasts and stir frys a lot but also a few naughty things like crisps. My diet hasn’t really changed recently and I did used to drink alcohol but hardly any at all now so I’m confused. First time I have ever suffered persistent heartburn! x

Lately I’ve been having horrific heartburn. I usually get it once or twice a month. This past month it has been on a near daily basis for the past few weeks. I’m trying to change my diet to help me eat healthier and feel better. But apparently it is helping to cause some really terrible pains. What are some of the causes everyone else has found for hearburn? I know I can easily go onto a website and find a list of normal things but everyone has different causes and outcome. I think mine may be from my new coffee addiction and the low fat foods. Foods with lower fat content have a much higher salt amount which is probably causing my pain!

What do you guys do to stop the pain and get some relief? I can only take so much Mylanta! And I have no insurance so a dr is not within my near future!

I recently discovered I was allergic to wheat.
I started feeling so much better once i stopped eating wheat.
I haven’t eaten any wheat products at all, but I have been around wheat products lately. I have gotten my symptoms back (heartburn and tightness in chest) since. I am currently sick and that is when it started getting worse. Is it normal for my body to have symptoms back when I am sick?

I’ve been dealing with GERD dietary restrictions for a fair few months now, and so far I’ve managed to adjust to most of issues regarding it. My system is about as delicate as can be – I’m talking the crackers and croutons in a salad, with light vinaigrette dressing (the gentlest I’m aware of), is known to give me some issues. So does the yeast and dairy in cookies – so, quite literally, the ‘try a little and see if it hurts’ rule doesn’t apply at all as forbidden is forbidden for me.

I’m not entirely sure in regards to some spices, however – season all, a kind of salt commonly used for seasoning meat, seems to be alright if not over-used, however the addition of garlic salt is questionable to me. I also rather enjoy cinnamon sugar concoctions, yet I can’t find any information in regards to cinnamon.

I take a large multivitamin every morning. As of late, I’ve been getting heartburn (or what feels like it) almost immediately after taking the vitamin. Why? It is usually before I eat or drink anything in the morning.

I also want to watch my weight, so give me a shopping list of what I should get from the grocery store.

Thanks

I went to the hospital on Saturday for abdominal pains (also had chest pain, lower back pain, groin/leg pain). They said they thought it was GERD. Since then I’ve been taking Omeprazole (Prilosec) and I’m still having abdominal pain for most of the day every day. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Has anybody mistaked either of these for heart problems? Any suggestions on how to take care of it? And how old can you get it?
How long can you keep it if left untreated? Days? Weeks? Months?

im 10 weeks prego and very sick and have heartburn what can i take besides tums or rolaids? is there anything else safe?

Does anyone have a good natural cure for heartburn? I just have this pain in my chest and the burps. Alka selzer is okay, but I’d like to try something new.

I had GERD problem about a couple of months ago. Too much coffee and soda caused it. A doctor recommended a edonscopy procedure and he found H.pylori bacteria and wants to have an appointment. Reading about it. 1 in 3 in the world population has this bateria. Now, I don’t have any digestive sympton, but I am worried that this bateric can be trasmitted to my kid. Has anyone had this bacteria and what was the treatment? I want to know about it before I see the doctor who is usually aggressive about removing batecria.

My lunch consisted of an apple, an orange, yogurt, and some piece of cheddar cheese. Now I have heartburn, and I can’t figure out why.

Is heartburn an early sign of Pregnancy? I’ve got a lot more symptoms but the past couple days this heartburn is almost unbearable! I took a hpt on Saturday but I shouldn’t have cuz its still way too early. Other symptoms are nausea (all the time!) constipation, frequent urination, headaches, moody….and TIRED! Even tho the hpt was a BFN could it have just been way too early I shouldn’t get by period til the 16th.
I guess the better question to ask is are all of these symptoms signs of pregnancy? including the heartburn. I don’t think I worded the question very well.
Thats funny cuz I had cereal this morning too and I think thats what gave me heartburn!

I weigh 176 am 5′5, have GERD, & am on medicine for underactive thyroid. I need a healthy diet & exercise program that can help me lose 50lbs. I cant bend over alot because of my GERD & need a regimen that allows me to burn calories safely. I also wanna tone my body while I lose the weight.

I read this isn’t possible until later on during pregnancy, but for the last 2 days, I have had weird pain/nausea feeling high up in my stomach…I have never had this feeling before. Anyone have any ideas what could be going on? I have also been more tired than normal (which could be attributed to many other things!), and my breasts seem huge (but again, could be my mind playing tricks on me)…thanks for any and all suggestions!

It doesnt really burn like heartburn but is extremely painful. Like someone sitting on my chest.

I face constipation on a daily basis.previously I had been diagonised for GERD but I took treatment by then.In the morning I don"t feel the urge to empty my bowel and I have to push myself very hard,but 80% I"d fail tp empty my bowel.
I also Have some sort of ripe liquid come out from my stomach and fill my mouth badly.
CAn anybody tell me what this is?is this serious?

so these are the symptoms of gastritis:

Abdominal upset
Abdominal pain
Belching
Abdominal bloating
Nausea
Vomiting
Feeling of fullness
Burning sensation in the upper abdomen
Blood in vomit or black stools

but all i have is the abdominal pain, nausea, vomitting from eating only, and feeling of fullness constantly. is it possible to still have gastritis?

i went to the ER last night, and he said that i may have gastritis. but they say usually the whole heartburn symptoms are the main ones. i never have heartburn. also could this lead to stomach cancer? or could it be a sign of stomach cancer? there’s a history of that in my family. oh and i know it’s not my gallbladder, had it removed in nov. 2006.
thanks, i am already seeing a digestive disease dr. they are still unsure what the problem could be. the one i’m seeing now makes the 3rd one.
