ACID REFLUX, does anyone have it as bad as I do? If so…..?
what do you do for it or take? I have it so bad that my food dosent go down, when i burp mouth fulls of food come back up, i stay sick (nausiated ) i get chest pains fron it. I’ve been to a stomach doctor and i’ve been put on just about everything (protonix, acifex made me throw up sick) zantac didn’t work, previcaid gave me an upset stomach for 15 days, lost 11 pounds) and now he just put me on nexium friday, and it’s making me feel sick and a nervious weak feel. ( i also have other health problems diabetic, IBS, Lactose intollerence. i don’t know what else to do for it, I can’t eat without getting sick and it’s got my blood sugars going crazy. any suggestions please let me know.

Your doctor needs to perform a test on your esophagus. I have GERD..gestational esphagitis reflux disease. It is a form of acid reflux but it causes more problems then regular acid reflux. I did the same thing. I couldn't eat without vomiting & I also stayed sick 24/7..Here is a couple of things you can try, worked for me , lets hope it works for you:Raise the head of your bed into an elavated position, my husband put two -4×4 blocks to elavate our bed and try this OTC medicine: Maalox antacid BARRIER, when you chew them up they will make a foam in your mouth/ you have to drink at least 1/2 glass of water it will make the foam coat your esphagus & your stomach as it washes it down. I made the mistake the first time & didn't use the water & it made me sick, I actually thought I had wasted my money but now I know it didn't. I am supposed to take nexium..it cost me $100 for 30 pills. Can't afford that so I made compromises. Sorry so long but just trying to help you out. Good Luck.. : )
