I am suffering from GERD and tried alot of meds for it. But it doesnt help. I am very much aware of what im eating. But still i have difficulties with this condition. I heard Prelosec is good. But i also read that Protonix works best. What do you think is effective with less side effetcs? Thanks! And yea… i have Hiatal Hernia. Sometimes really difficult breathing when i cant burp. Feels like something is blocking my upper tummy just below the chest. Help pls!

How long is considered long term GERD? I have been on and off suffering from GERD for about 5 months? My doctor prescribed me prevacid but now I have been feeling like food is stuck in my chest. I don’t have any pain but could this be something more serious? Should I go back to my doctor?

I am 30 yrs old suffering from GERD for the past 3 years. I tried PPIs & antacids. PPIs are causing more side effects. If I stop taking PPIs, heartburn comes after 2 hrs from eating.
So I tried ayurvedic treatment for the past 3 months. It also doesn’t work.

I reduced my weight from 87 kgs to 77 kgs. I raised my bed for 6 inches last year itself. I am non alcoholic & taking cooked vegetables for breakfast & taking pomegranate juice
in the evening. Taking dinner at 6:45 itself.

Can any one suggest any natural way or better treatment for GERD?

Thank you.

I have tried Prilosec, Nexium, Zelnorm, and otc antiacids/gas relief. My pH study was 48 when average is about 14. I also look like I’m 5 months pregnant after I eat.

I would prefer to not have to be on prilosec 2 times a day. It does not seem to be helping. Is a natural remedy or a better medication somewhere out there?

My doctor prescribed Nexium for acid reflux, but I really hate taking drugs. Any suggestions?
