I was diagnosed with GERD after having an edoscopy over a year ago and have been on omeprazole 40 mg daily. I am an active exerciser and experienced severe heartburn after eating or during exercise. For the most part the heartburn has stopped although I still have extreme nausea, upset stomach, constant bloating whenever I eat "bad" (fatty foods, alcohol, etc.) So I am trying a gluten-free diet to see if there is any way I can get off the omeprazole. I am worried about getting stress fractures associated with the new black box warnings on the Prilosec. I am also doing raw juices at lunch time for the enzyme/mineral/vitamin benefit because I feel sluggish (probably because of the Prilosec side effects not absorbing it) and always bloated. Any ideas or comments are greatly appreciated!View Thread
