Reflux can be a thyroid hormone level symptom. Gastroenterologists have no clue that it is! And endos say go to a Gastroenterologist.
I had this while on a T4 thyroid med, no matter how high FT4 was in the range. PPI's (tried all) did nothing but make it worse. This is because GERD is from not enough acid and slowed digestion in many as a symptom of hypo thyroid. If you had GERD before hypo, then its from to much acid or other issues. I changed thyroid med to include T3 and it went away.
My mother has severe GERD and severe LPR. When I read acid reflux conditions are usually due to not enough stomach acid I had my mother try a simple online baking soda test. The results were good enough to ditch the nexium and start betaine HCL with pepsin supplements to increase stomach acid and digestive enzyme supplements to help with digestion.
In three days she started to feel better.
Under production and over production of stomach acid both cause acid reflux but under production of stomach acid is far more prevalent.
Correcting hypothyroidism helps increase stomach acid production. For extra help, digestive enzyme supplements for better digestion and if needed betaine HCI with pepsin supplements or apple cider vinegar (preferably with the mother added) to make up for stomach acid insufficiency.
In my case, I had minor GERD problems for years and took omeprazol off an on, but suddenly had very serious acid reflux. Acid was actually eating away the enamel on my teeth and distroying my vocal cords, and until I could have a Nissen Fundoplication procedure, I was taking six omeprazol a day; two 1/2 hour prior to breakfast, lunch and dinner. It helped, and I had no negative symptoms whatsoever from the meds.
By the way, the Nissen Fundoplication was a complete success.
This rebound effect is theorized to the result of an overproduction of the stomach acid stimulating hormone gastrin in response to acid suppression. Whether this is true is another matter. Digestive enzymes can be used for too much or not enough stomach acid so taking enzymes should help lessen the effect.
My mother stopped nexium immediately and started enzyme supplements.
GERD occurs in people with severe acidity , when the acid in the stomach rises up the food pipe or esophagus . there are many medicines for acidity that doctors prescribe for GERD also like zinetac , omez. mucaine ,ranatidine . but all these medicines make you dependent on them and you if you stop taking them the problem of acidity intensifies . there is a product available in the market Pepflux which not only prevents heartburn and acidity but also acid reflux (caused due to GERD).
Hi,
GERD patients may not go on to develop CHF. However, CHF patients are prone to GERD due to the use of the medications which can increase the acid production and reflux into the esophagus. It can also congestion in the stomach and GI tract predisposing the patient to gastric discomfort and acid reflux. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care.

Nexium is approved for the healing and maintenance of erosive esophagitis, for symptomatic gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), and for use in combination with antibiotics to eradicate Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) in patients with active or prior duodenal ulcer disease.
Protonix is a gastric proton pump inhibitor (PPI), available in oral and intravenous formulations.
I have had severe acid reflux ever since I underwent gall bladder surgery in the summer of 2012, although I don't know why my surgery would have anything to do with my GERD. I have been on a PPI (Dexilant) ever since then, and periodically have attempted to wean myself off of this drug since I understand that long term use is not recommended. I have tried apple cider vinegar, even several times a day, but every time I have been forced to go back to the Dexilant.
In addition to having been diagnosed with Acid Reflux (GERD), it was discovered that I had somehow developed the H-Polori bacteria in my upper abdomin. All of this was found during an Endoscopy procedure. The day after the procedure, my doctor put me on a once-a-day, taken orally, 40 mg Nexium capsule. I've been on this medicine for 62 days now. I hear so much about not staying on this drug beyond 8 weeks, and my doctor just prescribed an additional 90-day supply. What should I do?
