Okay, I’ve had my first bout of heartburn/acid reflux. I’ve had it for 3 days now & it is very annoying.

I’ve been avoiding spicy, hot foods, soft drinks & dairy products as well. I’ve been drinking hot peppermint tea & room temp. water.

I don’t like taking medicine, but I have been taking Alka-Seltzer plus to relieve the discomfort.

My son recently got perscribed Zantac. They just said he has “acid reflux.” Hes been on it for two weeks now. He is under the 3rd percentile. and can still fit in 3 month clothing. How long did it take ur child to gain some weight from it? I think something else is wrong. He still spits up the same amount and is still around the same weight. Hes 10 months and 16lbs.

I have a lot of excess saliva that I swallow at least every minute and that causes me to burp a lot. The burps are very small and mainly gassy. Any help?

I started to have acid reflux symptoms about 2 months ago.

I went to see my medical doctor and then a gastroenterologist.

I have tried more then one medication.

My doctor started me on Axciphex on 1/9 to take in the morning. I am also taking Omeprazole at night.

The Omeprazole was causing sleep disturbances on me. The doctor now is having me try Pepcid AC.

Lately I had a mild case of acid reflux. After a few days I was put on some medicine (Rezhest and aciphex, apologies if I spelled one of the names wrong) and I am feeling better. My symptoms *were* chest pain, feeling like I need to vomit, and some other symptoms. Most of these symptoms went away except the very very mild chest pain which seems to come and go every now and then, and a very mild soar throat. How long will the soar throat and chest pain last? My doctor says about a few weeks for the throat, but I forgot to ask them about the chest pain.
Sorry forgot to add some stuff.
I am 16, and I only started having this chest pain when I got acid reflux, it’s only been about 3-4 days now with the mild chest pain.

My baby is almost 5 months old and has been diagnosed with Acid Reflux. He’s exclusively breast fed, and after trying lots of different things we had to start him on Zantac because he is refusing to eat very much (he will only take about 2-2.5 oz is my guess each feeding). We have tried expressed milk in a bottle, and formula…all with the same result – refusal. The doctor started him on Zantac last week and it’s only been 5 days he’s been taking the medication but he is still refusing to eat and we have to top him up with expressed milk after every feeding using a syringe.

I am not looking to be judged on giving my baby medicine, you would too your child was not eating enough and gaining weight well. I am looking to find other people that had similiar experiences and how long it took until their baby began to breastfeed (or drink formula normally again).

I’m a poor college kid, plus it’s quick and convenient i’m not overweight and it’s really annoying having this nasty stomach acid taste in my mouth every day.

My husband has been a lifelong sufferer and has been on just about everything for his reflux. Over the past few years, he has developed recurring pain in his left side/chest area, just below and inside the ribcage. He has seen his regular doctor, his gastroenterologist, the cardiologist and had CT scans, ultrasounds, x-rays, upper GI’s, stress/treadmill tests, everything. All the doctors say there is nothing wrong with him. So why the pain? We’re wondering if it’s possible that the combination of meds that he’s been on for the past 15-20 years might be having some effect and causing the pain. Anyone else with this experience?
