Question by rgh_argh: Acid reflux or GERD help?
I have had the worst acid reflux. It all happened at night when i was lying down on my bed and my stomach was bloated. Then some kind of liquid went up all the way up to my throat and nose which I think was caused by stomache acid. I have it untreated for 3 months and my doctor diagnose that I have acid reflux now or is it (GERD)? The doctor is telling me to take (omeprazole) 20 mg 2 tablets a day, which is a generic medication for Prilosec. I have taken it for 3 days and I have these tingling side effects and i stopped taking them. The acid has left burning and itchy sensation in my throat for months now and I was sure my esophagus might be damaged without knowing. I am scared of stomach ulcers and cancer someday if it is untreated early. Please tell me if this has happened to anyone and what PPIs or antacids work for you and cure you from GERD and acid reflux? Do you think what I have is GERD and not Acid reflux now since it has been months now and hasn’t gone away? Thanks. I wished Prilosec has worked for me but it caused side effects, do you think Prevacid or other brands will help? I am willing to try if it helps reduce stomach acid from coming up into my esophagus as well as healing it. Was there OTC medicines you tried that helped cured it? How long did it take if so?

I should avoid spicy, vinegar, citrus, fried foods. I am going to start a diet for my GERD or acid reflux now so I can heal my burnt tissues. I was told not to drink carbonated, caffeinated, coffee, tea. I should also drink more water and eat more vegetables and less meat because meat causes more acid in stomach. I have to avoid orange, lemon, lime, garlic, onion, tomato too. I heard ginger is good for stomach so I bought some capsules to take. I was also told not to eat a heavy meal at night before going to bed. Tell me what foods to avoid and what foods to put into my diet that will help promote faster healing. What are some alkaline foods to help neutralize the acid in my stomach? What are other acidic foods i need to avoid too?

Question by Crystal D: Please help- period one week late, two negative at-home tests.?
I haven’t gotten much help with my concerns, I’m pretty sure that no one is really reading it, so please read through and try to help me figure out what may be happening! My period is a week late, I have been having heart-burn and acid reflux, minor discomfort that feels like slight menstrual cramps, but no spotting or bleeding. I have also been occassionally dizzy, unusually clumsy, and somewhat disoriented/confused easily. I am not on birth control, we use the “pull-out” method (which we know is not the most effective. we aren’t going to “try” to get pregnant yet, but if it happens, we will not be unhappy at all) I have not had any unusual stress, no changes in diet or weight, there are no signs of infection I can see. I took 2 at-home First Response tests, one about 3 days ago in the evening, and one first thing yesterday morning. I have one daughter, who is 4. She was an emergency c-section. With her I had my period til the 3rd month, no morning sickness or discomfort. I am not upset if I am pregnant, I am just concerned and confused because this is not acting like a pregnancy. I don’t have health insurance, and since I’m not in pain or testing positive, I don’t want to go to the Doctor yet and waste a hundred bucks to hear “you’re a hypochondriac, chill out.” If you have any idea _f what might be going on, please help!

My girlfriend has been having strange stomach and chest pains for about 9 months now. They’re sharp pains that don’t always come in the same place. She rarely has heartburn. About two months ago she started having stomach spasms that’ll list anywhere from a few seconds to a few minutes. She’s never drank alcohol, smoked, or taken illegal drugs of any kind.

She’s been seeing doctors for a few months now. She saw a specialist and had a camera put down her throat, a CAT scan, an ultrasound and a bunch of blood tests. The doctors are saying that it’s acid reflux with esophageal spasms, but prilosec only helps when she takes two pills a day, and even then it just helps the pain, doesn’t eliminate it. Narcotic painkillers don’t do much for the pain.

I already take Zantac and am also on medications for other health issues, so I’m not looking to add on to that list with yet another drug. I’ve tried drinking milk, and it sometimes helps, but never for very long, and I can only drink so much milk in day. So, any tips or suggestions would be much appreciated and helpful.

I have acid reflux. I was diagnosed about a month ago. I have been feeling nausea, and burping a lot, heartburn, and the acid taste in my mouth, regurgitation, and feels like a lump in my throat. I also have been having stomach pains. Now my mom, and doctor told me that acid reflux causes pain around the gall bladder area(my gall bladder is fine, i got that checked already). and that’s where some pain is…so would the nausea and the feeling icky cause the stomach pains? because my mom has acid reflux, and she gets stomach pains also (i had my blood checked and it came back just fine so nothing is wrong with me). My mom thinks, and is pretty sure that my acid reflux is just acting up badly…ok thanks!
I take omeprazole daily for acid reflux.
