I’m current 14 years old. I stand at 5′8" and I’m about 112lbs. Recently I’ve been getting heartburn almost every time I eat. I have a pretty healthy diet and only 13% of my body mass is fat. Why do I get heartburn so much, What causes it, How can I get rid of it?
@Ganja420, go back to high school and get your GED before giving anyone dumb advice like that.

If I have heartburn (I’m young, but on a lot of medications), would warm or cold foods be better to help relieve the discomfort?

I really need help as I am about to go insane, this has made my life miserable. It is going to be quite long so if you really want to help me please read it all and provide me with your input. – So 2 years ago an ex-friend gave me these diet pills that she was talking with her husband and mother, they all lost so much weight, she told me they r natural so not to worry bec i am against those things, and since I was desperate to lose weight as my son was already 1yr old, i said what the heck im just going to try it and see what happens. After 3 days I started to feel my mouth drying and my mouth felt acidic. Then I felt something stuck in my throat, insomnia, nausea, like i wanted to vomit, my tongue turned white and started to have fissures in it! my friend said that everything will go away bec she felt few of them and they went away. btw I was taking 1 pill a day on an empty stomach. So after 2 weeks I couldnt anymore and I stopped it. Everything faded away except that my tongue felt like burned, still had fissured and it was white. I felt I was a dragon, like my mouth was on fire! I then waited few months and nothing changed. My mouth tasted disgusting too! the foods i liked didnt taste like before then my voice started to become hoarse..
Anyway, went to (1) Gastro had endoscopy said I had GERD all of a sudden and was put on anti acid pills – didnt help (2) went to ENT said I was crazy! and told me I was GERD (3) went to Thyroid doc and did blood test, was tested for VitB deficiency and it was normal, no anemia, nothing bad then referred to another ENT (4) 2nd ENT wanted to test me for Sjogern syndrome so sent me to both joint doc and dermatologist. (5) Joints doc ruled out Sjogern syndrome (6) Dermatologist also ruled it out and said I should see a neurologist to check my tongue nerve (7) saw a Neurologist and said I was fine but if I wanted to try Neurontin I could – so I tried Neurontin and WTF it stopped smelling and tasting things! I stopped it after 4 days.. then gave me Lyrica but was so scared I didnt take it. About 2 weeks ago which now its been 2 years after this started I had a second endoscopy with another Gastro and said I had GERD. I just dont know what is wrong with my mouth. This is the part that mostly bothers me!! It feels sore, sensitive! I read about brushing my tongue and gargle with baking soda but it started to feel raw! my tongue now literally looks like meat that has been passed thru a meat tenderizer! seriously! it looks like the taste buds are inflamed. The tip of my tongue is so sore like no joke! I even dont like kissing my hubby anymore which now u know its affecting my life, and relationship. I have no motivation to do anything. I want to lose weight and being uncomfortable with this problem isnt helping me I feel so depressed I can commit suicide I swear. I feel a different person always uncomfortable, it is even affecting my mood I swear Im always nervous.

I want to eat something that is tasty, but will not cause heartburn or indigestion as I have been having trouble with this lately. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

In my life I maybe got a little GERD once a month if that.After taking a weight loss pillI now have strong burning in my throat every days and sometimes severe it makes me feel miserable bec my mouth is constantly burning and its so cry, my throats hurt and are so red, and my tongue is cracked.
I have little faith in medicine for acid reduction as at this point seems to only make your stomach create more once the drug is over.
I took this diet pill for 2 weeks on empty stomach, and Ive been off it for 2 yearsdays.
I never had an issue before and now I certainly have GERD. All doctors tell me that.
How can I deal with this, I am so miserable

My daughter & I both have been getting pretty bad heartburn/acid reflux lately especially my daughter (whos shes been getting it really bad, & I believe its time to change our diet. I’m aware of what foods we need to avoid but I’m not very creative so I was wondering if people could share their heartbun friendly recipes, with me or direct me to a website with recipes. especially breakfast & dinner because I have a bad habit of cooking things with milk and cheese

Thanks

The last few nights he has gotten heartburn starting during eating his meal. He has not had a change of diet or any other changes in lifestyle. It gets so bad he can’t even finish his plate, does anyone have any thoughts on what could be the cause of this?

I haven’t had anything to eat since last night at about 930. I woke up at 6:00 and have had heartburn for an hour now. Nothing has changed in my diet so I don’t know whats causing it.

PS. I’m 16.
