How do u deal with your heartburn I know my heartburn be getting the best of me. And im only 24week.

Neutralizing stomach acid means you ability to absorb nutrients is impaired. Warning in particular for nexium is magnesium deficiency on the FDA website - seen within 3 months but on average about a year after starting. Magnesium deficiency causes so many symptoms including acid reflux ironically. Magnesium is essential for proper heart rhythm. Calcium contracts the muscles, magnesium relaxes the muscle. The most important muscle in the body is the heart.

If patients come back with the complaint that the diet is no longer effective and their heartburn has returned, a closer look usually reveals that some carbohydrates have again crept into the diet. Or a gastrointestinal infection cam be suspected - and treated." I'm a biochemist, and I don't know enough gastroenterology to figure out why this happens.

Hello. I have had severe heartburn and difficulty with swallowing for many years and finally went to a GI doctor who did an EGD. During the scope, my esophagus was torn and the MD was unable to view my entire esophagus. I went in for a second scope after my esophagus rested and a biopsy was taken (and I recieved another small tear). It was determined that I have Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EE).

I'm suffereing from heartburn n gas and sometimes acidity too for d last months, I 'v taken ayurvedic medicine but no relief from heartburn gets worse after breakfst.

for the past few months I have been getting severe heartburn, no matter what I eat I seem to get heartburn daily. I tried anti-acids but they dont really work. Now I'm starting to have a lot of bloating & not only am I always burping but also passing a lot of gas.. I dont know if these two are related, I dont know if this is a serious problem. I did go see my doctor and she gave me pills that dont seem to do much either.

I tried some trigger foods, and it didn't bother me but 24 hours later, I had a bit of heartburn. That wouldn't be from the trigger food, would it?

I have recently begun a healthier diet where I concentrate on vegetables and fruits and avoid spicy, fatty foods as much as possible. I feel much better and am more energetic (I'm a runner) and have lost weight. How is your diet?

When I eat a lot of hummus (especially black bean hummus) have shapeless stools, gas, heartburn and a LOT of discomfort. And I pooh a lot. If I KEEP eating it, I end up bleeding on the back end because I keep wiping. Track your diet/intake and your bowel movements (shape, amount, color, size, characteristics (ribbon-like, grainy, sandy, spotty, mucousy), frequency). You may find your own correlation.... If you don't, it is as least extremely good documentation to bring to your doctor.

I have been on low fat low fiber and very small meals and meds but the heartburn does not ever go away.....I am at the end of my rope with this....

I had really bad heartburn my entire preg. I could drink water and somehow have heartburn lol he was born with tons of hair! Milk is only thing tht helped me.

Also of concern is a weight loss from 198 to 192 in a week and a half. The vomiting and diet change might be the main reason, but I am still watching it, and concerned with how fast it changed. I am also still exercising regularly. I am wondering at what point I should consider seeing my GI doctor for an endoscopy or other tests. I understand this is probably GERD, hiatal hernia, gastritis or gastroparesis.

For the past few days I have been feeling very nauseous after eating, sometimes with heartburn and sometimes without heartburn. What scares me is that a few years ago I had experience some blood on my toilet paper, sometimes it was a decent amount. I am also lactose intolerant. After switching to a plant based diet i haven't seen any blood, it's been about 2 years.

i have been taking pepcid and tums... ok by my dr. eat smaller meals and drink lemon water before a meal its been said to help i have yet to try it i really need to try the lemon water.

i just went threw a ph test and motlity test. have been waiting for results. i am told that the gall bladder and heartburn are not related. Both symptoms started last year at the same time and have been suffering with stomach pain, nausea so bad i got dehydrated because i could not eat, i feel weak and tired all the time, loose stools that look yellowish in color, and still having heartburn despite the 4 times a day i take omperzole. I have tried changing my diet.

Its annoying... A lot of people say that it means that the baby has a lot of hair and others say it's from the diet, but my sister experienced a lot of heartburn and my niece is extremely hairy. You can see the hair on her arms legs and back. I didn't get much heartburn with my daughter and she wasn't hairy.

Pregnancy heartburn !!!

I did some research and I now think I might possibly have GERD (which you can have and not have heartburn btw). People with Gerd tend to have a congested feeling and those who suffer from pvcs find they are worse when they have GERD. It's worth researching as it might help you come to some conclusions. People with GERD also tend to have a frequent cough, chest tightness, chest pain, neck pain, etc, because stomach acid is actually getting into your lungs.

And just in case you switch back to vegetarian one day, be prepared for heartburn. With a red meat diet, there is a lot more gastric acid around that tends to irritate the stomach lining once you stop eating the meat.

Papaya is awesome also. They sell Papaya pills u can chew up. I get heartburn soooo bad. It makes me want to cry and takes my breath. It hurts so bad.

s thyroiditis but I am having an endoscopy soon (my annual one) and an ultrasound of my thyroid also so hopefully they will be able to determine more. As for my diet, no I am not good at watching my diet but heartburn has never been much of an issue for me. However, I am going to start the Nutrisystem diet this week because I know that getting this weight off will be very good for me.

lactose free diet (no dairy) for two days, and low-fructose diet (no fruits or any fruit product, no artificially sweetened food which contains sorbitol or high fructose corn syrup) for 3-4 days.

I'm 20wks and I've experienced heartburn before but never like this, I mean this is horrible it's so painful I'm just wondering if it's even normal for it to be this bad!?!?

After two months of mononucleosis, I got symptoms suggestive of indigestion (after heavy meals, pain moving around my stomach). I noticed increased burping throughout the previous month. I did an abdominal ultrasound - nothing out of the ordinary. After 10 days of stomach pain/gas/bloating/burping despite a GERD-compliant diet, my GP prescribed PPIs (once daily) and enzymes.
