ACID REFLUX AND HEARTBURN

ACID REFLUX AND HEARTBURN

anyone have this shit? what the fuck and where did it come from? i have it all the time now, why

pic related

I had it until I was 12ish
I was born with it nigga

don't eat late in the evening and especially peanuts. Drink milk or take gaviscon

i get it in the middle of the afternoon, doesnt matter what i eat it makes no sense. even plain bread or rice gives me it

howd u get rid of it

Same here. Sometimes it gets to the point where the pain is fucking lacerating and unbearable. Went to the hospital 2 times in the past month, but been told that im ok. This thing always comes back. Im 20 years old, and ive been working out for about 3 months and have lost 14 kilos so far -- is this relevant?

i dont know, but im a gym nut too and i think i caught something from the gym. this shit is bullshit!!

bump to see if anyone has answers on how they got rid of theirs

Sip water and swallow saliva. I used to get it bad but after dropping 60 lbs
I don't get it unless I over eat.

I had that shit really bad a few years ago. Every morning at around 10 it would hit. So bad I would curl up on the bathroom floor. Turns out I also had an ulcer. After a couple years of taking the wrong mix of medications, I had to go on an all liquid diet for 8 months so my stomach could heal. The correct medicine for acid reflux: Prilosec.

No one here has heard of Prilosec? I've been taking it once a day for like 11 years. no heartburn at all. But I can tell if i miss taking it for a day.

how did you know you had an ulcer? can they scan for that shit?

user youre not supposed to take it long term its bad for your bones

Thanks man, will try to get it tomorrow morning

Okay, so, don't eat less than 4 hours before you go to sleep. While you are digesting, you create stomach acid, which stays in your stomach (or is supposed to, anyway). One of the problems is that when you lie down, the sphincter that is supposed to close the stomach off from the throat is not closing completely. This lets acid seep back up your throat (especially if you sleep lying down, and who doesn't?) where it sits on the lining of your throat and begins to eat pits in your throat.

In order to give your body time to heal, you need to sleep sitting up, to stop that from happening. Once your throat starts to heal, you're going to want to regulate how much you are eating, and when.

You can also drop a tablespoon of baking soda in a cup of hot water and drink it. it will neutralize the acid in your throat, and in your stomach, and it will help.

Even the gastro specialist told me prilosec would be the easiest and cheapest way to stop it cause it comes back immediately

and I'm a healthy 32 aged man with no bone problems. calcium, fam

Learned I had an ulcer because my stool was black (means blood is present) . I was also vomiting blood.

My doctor also told me I would be taking it for the rest of my life

drink some milk, nigga

just get used to OP. I work in a kitchen at stupid overrated italian/pizza place. I am always snagging boneless wings and pizza bc im there all fucking morning and day. I also get half off dinners. Anyways, all that fucking sauce is fucking brutal. I wake up in the middle of the night and have to sit up. Sometimes I gotta walk around for 10 minutes. Miserable cycle.

Eat better. Dont overrat. Dont lie down within 2 hours of eating. Drink milk or take antacids.

Could be your normal diet finally kicking you in the throat like mine did. Control that shit and change habits or be damned to a life of a bad time especially if you dont take stuff to manage it.

That has an obviously cause. some of us get it for no reason and daily.

shit

Also I was getting really winded at the gym. I had a blood test and it said I had close to no iron in my body. Because men dont have periods, that means there is bleeding internally

+ Lose weight.

take prilosec and limit spicy foods and red sauces

prilosec and less spicy shit

And op, if you're having a difficult time swallowing, you should ask your doctor for a endoscopy (Sorry If my english is broken. Medfag here, but english isnt my natural Language)

does drinking carbonated beverages or milk help anyone? never had these issues so i don't know.

+ Dont eat fats, menthol, and chocolate. These foods would make it worse

That depends. Milk can neutralize the acid, but because of the fats in it, the reflux would get worse. And carbonated beverages dont help either

>Prilosec
that reduces stomach acid. Low stomach acid could be the problem. An all liquid diet sounds okay though. what did you drink?

1/2 to 1 teaspoon baking soda in a glass of water will do the trick if you dont want to take or dont have prilosec or other meds. Its like drinking salt water, but itll work

you sound pretty hopless b so im gunna help you

there is too much ACID in your stomic (this should be obvious)

you will need to neutralize the ACID with somthing. (nothing stupid like pepto bizmo)
Water with a ph of 9 for example

then you have to figure out whats causeing the acid overload, and stop overloading on it
you worthless glutton.

should clear up in a week

so Alka-Seltzer?

its actually not so much spicy food as greasy shit that causes heartburn

For me I noticed being full of liquids causes it. So cut down on the amount of beverage you drink at a time
