Carfate

a med called carfate is used for GERD by a psych who specialises in anxiety, he sees lots of GERD in his anxiety patients

GERD is usually associated with stress and anxiety so learning how to relax should reduce the GERD

Re: Carfate

It coats the esophogus and stomach, preventing ulcers, esophogus damages, and weighing food in the stomach to prevent reflux. I'm on it as needed.

Re: Carfate

It also soaks up excess bile if you have bile reflux from your small intestine back into your stomach as I do.
