Lightbulb Scared to eat??

Ive been snakebitten the last 3 years when my Aciphex quit working ive played the PPI,game since than nothing really helping.
Anyways I have a question does anyone get in a groove of just eating the same stuff everyday,I mean,im so bad its even the Brand's have to be right otherwise it throws me off.After ahwile that particular food will cause me acid bad a few times,and im scared to eat that again.Over the years ive gone through this right now even canned pears give me heartburn yet i ate them daily for months.Now I cant touch them,in a way I feel like im making the Gerd worse yet i dont want to start a flareup,plus i have bad anxiety..
Anybody else ever gone through this its horrible I have like 5 things im eating right now,and its a cycle...I want to break it..i eat very very bland i wonder if thats bad over time to??
Sorry for long post had to get that out lol..

Re: Scared to eat??

I am scared to eat anything thats not runny because I feel like I am choking after I eat anything solid! I have lost over 2 stones in four and a half months!
I have now got a problem with fear of choking because of the huge amount of mucous stuck in my throat...where do I go with that problem?? If it werent for supplemt drinks from the dietician I'd be on about 400 calories a day!

Re: Scared to eat??

I worry about my diet because I cannot eat any fruits or juice. I cannot eat most veggies. I eat only a few things over & over again. I know I am not healthy. I do drink a nutritional drink everyday sometimes twice a day. My reflux is always with me 24/7. I do know if I eat bad food I would be in much worse shape. You know I don't even care about giving up junk food anymore I just want to be able to eat healthy!

I ate boiled chix the other day and my reflux went out of control.

Question Re: Scared to eat??

Thats how I am,eating the same stuff over and over,its a vicous cycle.Lots of toast,turkey breast in oven.oatmeal,and cram of wheat..water is the only drink I take,than it changes up,usually pears in a can are great for people with Gerd.Now I cant eat them anymore,I walk into a grocery store its like the most horrible feeling can't eat anything.I an't use trial and error,because it set's off bad Gerd..Its bad enough now..

Re: Scared to eat??

I have had Gerd for over 6 years. I take Prevacid once a day and a Motility Drug 4 times a day. I eat pretty much what I want but my secret is that I only eat small amounts. I never eat past 7 p.m. because I will experience reflux while sleeping if I do.

I know what you mean about certain foods creating problems. Don't you find that most of the foods that precipitate reflux are usually full of starch or are sugar based? Chocolate and caffiene are bad for me if I overdo it. Even foods like corn on the cob, baked potato and fresh bread bring on reflux . Sugar. Starch. I'm ok if I eat a bit of each. Perhaps you could try eating more small meals and slowly increase the variety of foods you've been missing.

Being overweight is a definite contributor to GERD. I lost 34 lbs last year and I was able to use less medication. Now I've gained back about 10 lbs and notice an increase in reflux. Of course I gain in my belly area. So now I'm back up on meds. Got to loose that weight!!

Hope all this helps.
