Are you also following a GERD friendly diet? It can be very helpful in many cases. Also consider any lifestyle changes that might be needed as well.View Thread
Yes, a burning esophagus can be related to acid reflux.
Medications can have side-effects so if the light headedness persists talk to your doc.View Thread
Not everyone has the problem, but we're finding that more people than we expect have food issues. Yes, it can be difficult to substitute for the food you love, but if it's part of your problem when you find out how much better you feel, most say it's more than worth it.
Consider checking it out. And if you decide to go the testing route, find a good doc with some knowledge of the problem. Most docs don't have a clue, and GI docs can be the worst.View Thread
1. 2 Glasses of plain Water(Room Temp) every day in the morning.
2. Avoid Beef,Burgers,Takeaways,Chips, Fried things and alcohol and Cigarettes
3. Have 30 mins walk daily without fail.
4. Have Breakfast like a King, Lunch like a queen and Dinner like a begger.
5. The gap between dinner and the bed should be aleast 2 hours.
6. Replace fast foods with Veggies and Fruit.
This pro gramme will immensely help to get rid of most of the diseases related to stomach. Initially you might need to take Omerprazole or Nexum 1 daily for atleast 1 month. But gradually trapper it off. Hope this will help you get relieve of these symptoms. Best of LuckView Thread
And make sure you're following a GERD-friendly diet in addition to any meds your doc may consider appropriate.View Thread
Regarding the GERD itself, I'll be seeing a GI specialist next month to get a better handle on that. Thanks.View Thread

There are also detailed articles about GERD and the research evidence for acid reflux diets. Best wishes IanView Thread
I'm just not sure what to do. I've tried changing my diet and I feel great mentally but don't feel too hot physically. I just started some mediation hoping it can help. Does anyone have suggestions or opinions? I keep dropping weight because I can't eat much and I'm getting a little concerned about it.View Thread
Good luck!!View Thread
The medicine I am taking is Sucralfate.
Did the sharp object ever pass out in your excrement? Did they do any kind of ultrasound or something to detect to see if they could see a metal object?View Thread
Did you notice any foods that were possible to eat?
I found that even the stuff that I could eat that was not an aggrivant, aggrivated me if I had eaten it even several days after a food that would aggrivate my condition. How long have you been on the acid reducers? When I first found out I was a GERD suffer I also had a candida overgrowth, and taking some Diflucan for 2 weeks really helped the swelling in my throat and saliva and heartburn. I don't know if this would be applicable to you - have you taken lots of anti-biotics previously? As for the chest pains and gas, could you take some gas-x? That was helpful for me, to make those pains pretty minimal. Despite the other acid re-flux symptoms being high.
Are even lettuce and cucumbers (and eggs, though not together) bothering you? Worst of days if I just ate lettuce with cucumbers and a little Italian spice like oregano and basil I would feel tons better clearing up the pain and acid and resuming things that I was able to eat before. Oatmeal seems to be a positive counter actor of acids too for me and a safe breakfast. Chicken without skin too...
Don't know if any of this is helpful for you.

there are many good articles about GERD and acid reflux disease.View Thread
I go to college, so I probably don't eat as much or as well as I should. I know this but it's so hard to find time. Anyway, my poop has been a olive-yellowish color since I've been back at school. I'm wondering what all this could be, is it temporary? Is it something I should worry about? My mom's a nurse so I'll talk to her about it but I just need information. Thank you for reading this longggggggg rant!View Thread
Heart test r all good. mri or the brain is good. blood work show is good. stress test is good
they have had me on 5 defent meds at once for all my problems with my gut but after a year gone by it keeps getting wrose they have tryed me on every thing under the sun still no luck.View Thread
Also discuss the possible use of the magnetic bead ring that some seem to find a decent alternative to a fundoplication. It has drawbacks just like the fundoplication, so do a lot of research if it's suggested.
Reglan side effects can be difficult for some, but in many cases it's worth a try.View Thread
I know you posted this a year ago, I hope you respond soon . Thank You!!View Thread
Also, do a web search for GERD and heart topics. This helped me a lot.View Thread
