Avatar f tn I have had acid reflux for quite sometime. I burn so bad sometimes i cant stand it myself so I grab a tums which helps immediately...but my question is when i eat something that has salt in it burns me it seems on the top of my stomach. One nite i was woke up out of my sleep with this liquid running out of my nose and this burning in my throat i was chocking.
822804 tn?1298226302 I was just diagnosed with acid reflux and was told to take my Prilosec on an empty stomach at 7am...however,I take my Synthroid and Cytomel at that time.Can you take them together?I asked the doctor but he didn't seem certain enough to make me feel comfortable with taking them together.To me it just doesn't seem right to take thyroid meds and acid reducers at the same time.Can anyone help please!
Avatar m tn My mom is taking Fosamax [Alendronic Acid], she is taking it exactly as directed and is still getting terriible burning in her esophagus. She is really suffering. She says there are no alternative medications she can switch to. Are there any remedys she can take to help ease the burning in her esophagus? Supplements, Vitamins, anything like that? Any help anyone can give me would be greatle appreciated, as i Said, she is really suffering Thanks in Advance!
Avatar f tn He looked at me as if I was nuts when I told him I was even on the fosamax, and recommended I stop it altogether. Having said all that, I realize many many need the med, but I guess my suggestion would be to see an Ear/Nose/Throat doctor - he may have some suggestions for you, and would be able to see if any damage is done. Best of luck to you!
Avatar m tn Food and Drug Administration raised concerns about the potential for some serious side effects in women taking bone-building drugs called bisphosphonates, specifically Fosamax, Actonel and Reclast. The published findings are not new.
Avatar f tn Do you know if the fluid in her stomach was found to be acid or bile, or? Has her gallbladder been checked. In some, there is a connection between gastroparesis and gallbladder issues. I know that water brash is typically associated with acid reflux, but I'm wondering if there might be something more going on here. What meds is she on? Is there any history of diabetes or sugar problems? Is she currently following a suggested diet for gastroparesis? And cutting way, way, way back on fats?
Avatar f tn The last 1 was flax seed, i took a capsule and instantly had a bout of acid reflux. I didnt take flax for 2 days and felt great. Just took a capsule and the acid reflux is back. Although its reported that flax is goid for acid reflux i dont think it applies to all.
Avatar n tn I think i dont have normal acid reflux since i have never experienced heartburn and usually have a feeling of a lump stuck in my throat...which makes me believe that i have LPR. I read somewhere that reglan is effective in tightening the LES valve so was curious to try it if it does not have really bad side effects.
Avatar f tn In acid reflux disease, acid from your stomach gets into your esophagus, throat and mouth. Stomach acid can irritate all of these structures.
220282 tn?1214318819 my son has acid reflux he's now 28 month and his medications for it are domperidone x4, omeprazole x2 and infant gaviscone he's due to go into hospital for a feeding peg and his doctor has recommended having another proceedure at the same time to help with his reflux does anyone know if this proceedure works and are there any draw backs?
Avatar f tn What do you ladies take for acid reflux? I'm 31 weeks and a few days and the past three weeks I've been waking up from a dead sleep vomiting from acid reflux. It gets up into my nose. The lining of my throat is burning. I have a cold right now too and asthma so vomiting and coughing is literally killing my throat. I just woke up from sleeping and threw up so badly I peed my pants. I'm so over this. I cant have Zantac because I'm super allergic.
Avatar f tn My baby girl had acid reflux and she spit up all night. If she isn't spitting up and she isn't crying like it is bothering/hurting her I wouldn't worry. Easier said than done I know but if you really are worried call your pediatrician's office and speak to a nurse. Now as far as switching your baby around from days to nights I waited until about 2 months. Then I kept her awake for longer periods of time during the day and gave her like 30 minute naps at a time.
Avatar f tn Has your mother tried a gluten and dairy free diet. If she is reacting to gluten and or dairy both can cause acid reflux and abdominal problems. If she has has the blood test for Celiacs and it came back negative, that does not mean much since the test is not very sensitive. There is also a endoscopy to look for Celiacs but sometimes even this can miss it. Also has anyone tested her thyroid? If so what were the results because the ranges are wrong.
Avatar f tn was intact and the procedure was successful as of to their expectations, however she has not had any relief for the acid reflux and to top this off she also has severe abdominal pain. She has followed thoroughly with her diet with no success.
1890554 tn?1322678048 I explained I was getting worse and that now I had an inflamed palate sore throat, and burning chest. I asked her if acid reflux could be causing most of my symptoms making them seem as an acute attack of asthma and allergies. She stopped and looked at me with huge open eyes. She said her sister had been diagnosed with asthma and treated with every med out there with no avail. Even had to carry her own nebulizer for months until somebody diagnosed her with GERD, she now lives a normal life!!!

1626225 tn?1306459118 Stress is also a major cause of ulcers and acid reflux. I have paid attention lately that when I am not aware of my condition the symptoms are not as bad. Could that be my imagination?
Avatar f tn I have been noticing changes in my voice like I can't sing or hit a different pitch without my voice changing. My voice seems "irritated". My ent dr looked down my throat with a scope and said my throat was irritates behind my vocal cords and said since I don't smoke it is acid reflux. He placed me on Prilosec and I have been on this for almost 2 months and I don't seem better. Is there something better I should try? Or could my voice changing be caused by something else?
Avatar f tn See and Internist. Ask about taking Malic Acid with your meals and taking Digestive Enzymes just after. Your gerd may really be due to a lack of acid and or enzyme production. Then ask to try to be weened off the antacids. Good Luck!
Avatar f tn That was the only thing that helped me and I had heartburn/acid reflux every day so bad I actually kept a bottle in the house and in our vehicle so I never was without it no matter where we were at! They sell it at Walmart in tabs or liquid.
