I have a feeling that i may be pregnant but just haven’t got round to taking a test yet. I have suffered severe heartburn, dizziness and slight nausea in the past 4 days. I know that nausea is a common pregnancy symptom, but it is normal to have heartburn this early on in pregnancy? I would be two weeks maximum! Any advise would be gratefully received!!

I have not eaten anything all day, i just drank water, gatorade, and soda……..and now i feel like i have heatburn…I am barely going to start eating right now, do you think this will help?

Im almost 7 months and lately i’ve been getting it a lot! Usually after i eat or when im really cold. Right now im at work and can’t leave yet. I might be able to pick something up at lunch, but whats the best thing to get? The heartburn makes me feel naucious too.

I also suffer from heartburn, which foods are best for me?

How do I get rid of acid reflux and heartburn without drugs? I’m worried about hiatal hernia, ulcers, bile reflux and other complications of acid reflux… I have severe heartburn and possibly acid reflux disease. I do not want to start the horrible, harmful drugs and antacids, as I’ve heard that they can actually worsen my acid reflux over time. I’m looking for a natural cure or remedy that will not only stop the heartburn and acid reflux, but also something that will cure it forever??? Is it possible to naturally treat acid reflux or are the treatments always drugs?

I know that milk causes it, and i’ve seen heartburn diets that contain "fat free" milk. Should this kind of milk not cause heartburn? I thought the calcium in it was the trigger.I love cereal, but not if it hurts after i eat it.

I’ve been on Nexium for 1 month now for treatment of GERD, and over the course of that month, I gained 5 pounds. I am 5′3" and went from 104 pounds to 109 pounds… big frigging deal. However, I did mention it to my GI doctor just to let him/her (whatever it is … it’s a f u c k i n g transvestite/d y k e) know what was going on…… S/he said that Nexium could NEVER cause weight gain (lmao, s/he needs to check again… it is one of the most common side effects), and said that I NEED TO GO TO THE OBESITY CLINIC?!!?! Are you kidding me?!!?! I’m borderline UNDERWEIGHT!!!!!!!

What would you do if this were you? I already told him/her to go f u c k itself, but I’m not sure what else to do. S/he won’t listen to anything I say and keeps insisting that I have an upper endoscopy (even though I already had an upper GI that was 100% normal aside from the reflux that they could see happening during the test), or she will "tell on me" to my primary care doctor!!! What do I do?!?!?
She also told me to call the pharmacist and then get back to her after I asked him why Zantac interacts with Biaxin (an antibiotic — the Zantac blocks the absorption of Biaxin), yet Nexium doesn’t. Um, here’s an idea: maybe it is because one is an antacid and the other is a PPI!?!!? Nah, that couldn’t be it. The pharmacist was laughing and was like, "S/he didn’t know that?" It’s not funny though. S/he is running all sorts of outrageous tests (which I am now refusing), and s/he doesn’t know his/her ass from his/her elbow.

Thanks for any help! I’ll pick a best answer TODAY!!!!!
