This sounds kind of stupid but I'm wondering what you people think. I had numerous GERD associated problems (I've described them a lot on this board, won't get into that again). On Aug 2 I started taking Prevacid and it helped a great deal. I can't remember exactly how I felt but for one week I felt so much improved that any symptoms I did still have were negligible. Then, thinking the problem had cleared up, I ate some Taco Bell one day. Minutes after I finished it, my symptoms flared up again - and have not returned to normal since. At most, I thought maybe the Taco Bell would give me some slight indigestion - I've eaten it MANY times before with no problems, no heartburn, whatsoever. Is it possible that ONE MEAL could cause an irreversible change in the course of my symptoms? These symptoms are causing a lot of problems for me now and if the rest of my life hinges on the decision of one meal,I could kill myself. I mean the way I see it, once the food passes through your system, that should be it, right? Any problem should be temporary. I wouldn't even be considering this except for the fact that my symptoms returned within just minutes of eating the meal. And before that very meal, eating anything, even Taco Bell, had not made any change in my symptoms. Very frustrated. Thanks.
