anybody here knows GERD firsthand?

Question

Anybody here have acid and bloating that bother them? Any advice on how to if not altogether get rid of it, how to minimize symptoms? I've been feeling like I'm alone in this and it's good to discover a community of open minded and kind women on here. I'm open to any advice.😽

Answer

I have severe GERD. Currently talking 40 mg nexium twice a day, which is prescribed and double the normal dose which only helps a little. I was also prescribed carafate which is a liquid you take an hour before eating. tastes awful but doesn't definitely help. You also need to tilt your bed up. I was told to put the top of the bed where your head is up on blocks to help the acid from flowing into your esophagus while you lay down, because that causes a lot of damage. Ginger tea is also my savior. When the acid reflux gets so bad and it turns into nausea, drinking hot ginger tea really helps. Currently still seeing doctors to try and help. Hope this helps :)

Answer

I have really bad acid problems I don't exactly know what is wrong with me doctors don't help me anymore. I just completely changed my diet I hardly eat out anymore. I take an acid reducer every day. I usually work out everyday. I make home cooked meals that seems to keep my attacks down.. 😫
