I just ate a 6-inch Subway Turkey Breast and Ham sandwich and a muffin with a cup of milk, but ended up getting heartburn afterwards. Why did that happen? Does it mean I overate?

My 6 wk old baby had severe anemia , low hemoglobin and required a blood transfusion. I was never told by the doctors what caused it. She has GERD..could that be a factor?
She was delievered by CSECTION @ 36 wks.

Suddenly, without change in diet or behavior, I am getting mild heartburn after everytime I eat. What could cause this? What do I do to get this to stop?
I am 24 and I am not overweight. I have a normal BMI.

Hi all! I have the following conditions:

- ADHD (mainly the attention deficit part)
- asthma
- acid reflux/GERD
- meralgia paresthetica

I’m a big believer in "alternative" treatments like chiropractic, acupuncture, acupressure, herbalism, reiki, etc. I’d love to try acupuncture because I’ve heard so many good things about it, but unfortunately I can’t afford it right now. I can barely afford my chiropractor and my regular HMO medical plan, but I won’t give those up!

At any rate, I suspect it could probably help ALL of my conditions at least somewhat, but I’m wondering if anyone here can tell me which of the conditions stand the best chance of being helped by acupuncture? Also — and this is a long shot — if anyone knows of an inexpensive but GOOD acupuncturist in the Silicon Valley/South Bay Area of California, please tell me who it is! Thanks!

P.S. For those who’ve no idea what meralgia paresthetica is, click here: http://www.emedicine.com/neuro/topic590.htm
To Dr. N. & other doctors — no disrespect intended, but taking medication for some disorders is often only a "band-aid". It suppresses them, keeps them under control, but does NOT "cure" them.

All meds have side effects, & some meds also increase your risk of developing other disorders down the line. For example, I take generic Prilosec daily for my acid reflux (Zantac was too weak), but longterm use of proton-pump inhibitors like Prilosec correlate with increased risk of stomach cancer. Plus, it’s simply NOT NATURAL to force one’s stomach to not produce acid. It’s supposed to make acid, for crying out loud! I’m scared of what I’m doing to my body this way.

And what if I want to have a baby down the line? You’re not even supposed to take steriod-based asthma inhalers (like QVAR), of which I take 2-3 puffs daily. And I sure couldn’t take Prilosec or ADHD meds!

I’d much rather RESOLVE my disorders, not just "cover them up". I need to at least TRY alternative options!

I am almost 26 weeks and have the worst heartburn, it’s so bad I can’t sleep and my mouth waters out of control and sometimes causes nausea. My doctor said I could take Pepcid which I do but it doesn’t always work so well. My doctor hasn’t okayed any other medicines for heartburn, so I’m wondering if any of you know of some remedies I could try or foods I could eat/drink that would help?
Thanks!
