Hi there,
go see your doc he can give some meds to help heal that.
It can be worse if you lay down b/c of obvious reasons. Also, what you eat can trigger it. Chocolate, soda, spicey foods, etc. I know for me a big trigger is soda. :-(
Yeah, well i mean my diet hasn't changed alot really, if anything i eat alot more veg and fruit than before. I am a BIG ketchup fan and put it on alot of stuff which i know is high in acidy substances.
I will go to see the doc as soon as i can, although its a bit hard for me because the practice is an hour away and i dont have a car!
Does anyone know if its treatable? Or am i going to be on Antacid tablets and prescription tablets for the rest of my life?
NEXIUM (A rx) will help heal the esphogal tissue- it takes about 8 weeks. From what I read some say it can be healed others say you'll always have it.
Try to keep a food diary for a little while, note what you eat, then write when you had some reflux or heartburn. Hopefully this can help your sort through things.
Also, stress/worry can play a big part in it.
Do taking tums help at all? I would try to buy a little pill over the counter and see if that works better until you see your doc. YOu should probably get it check as soon as possible as all that acid coming up isn't the best thing for you. IF its happening that frequently it could be pretty bad.
