Is this GERD or something else?

Mr questioned:


Until recently, I was hungry all the time. About a month ago, I wasn’t hungry at all for a few days, and then following that, I developed GERD-like symptoms (nausea, heartburn, etc.). I now take Prisolec OTC occasionally and that makes it seem a lot better. I seem to have a harder time breathing when at rest. But, when exercising or doing any strenuous activity, I am fine. Also, I just noticed there is a pain in the center of my chest when pressed. I’m in my 20s. What could this be?
I should add: During the period when I was extremely hungry, I was drinking several cups of coffee a day (4-6). And recently, when my hunger died down, I’ve been drinking one. When I drank more coffee, I seemed to eat more junk food with ease. And when I don’t, I have to eat really healthy. Could there be a connection here?

And either way, I still have the breathing at rest thing (which could be asthma).

Any good/yummy hot drinks that DON’T give you heartburn?

nitropit68 questioned:


- Hot coffee gives me a lot of heartburn.
– Hot chocolate gives me heartburn from the chocolate.
– Hot cappuccino from the machines at local dairy marts gives me heartburn (and I like this stuff!).
– Hot tea gives me heartburn and acidy stomach.
– Steamed milk is yummy but fattening, and sometimes gives me gas and heartburn from lactic acid.

Anything out there that’s yummy and DOESN’T have acid and DOESN’T give you heartburn?

Food can make you feel like a king or it can make you feel like a prisoner. In the case of acid reflux, various foods will make you feel like a prisoner. Have you ever felt imprisoned by the symptoms of heartburn? Millions do!

Acid reflux, also called heartburn or Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD), is a disease that can affect the youngest infants to the oldest elderly people. In fact, it has been documented that over 25 million Americans suffer from acid reflux on a daily basis. And about half of those sufferers do not seek treatment for their disease and live in misery. The fortunate news is that you can naturally cure acid reflux with the right acid reflux diet plot.

Do you know what foods cause acid reflux? Do you know what foods help heal your esophagus and lower esophageal sphincter (LES) which will cure the cause of GERD? Is your reflux getting worse the longer you try to ignore that problem?

Maybe it is time you start a natural acid reflux treatment involving the foods you eat.

Should I use Acid Reflux Prescription Drugs?

Most sufferers who seek help use prescription drugs like Prilosec, Prevacid or Nexium to help combat their problem. Typically, these drugs will help treat the symptoms for two weeks but long-term use can cause the body to produce an extra amount of acid. Let me clarify.

After using these drugs for14 days, the body starts to make a gastrin. Gastrin is a hormone that tells your stomach to make more acid. While making more acid is a problem, it is a small problem compared to the risk of developing cancer in the digestive tract. If you have taken these drugs, you will notice the bold print warning; do not take for more than 14 days (2 weeks)!

And is there another option? Not really! Some seek out surgery but most of the time it is unnecessary because simple acid reflux dieting tips are usually just as effective.

Here are 5 tips that could liberate you from this disease.

5 Acid Reflux Dieting Tips

1. What not to eat! I am going to start with probably the largest causes of heartburn. Here are some of the foods that trigger it: chocolate; citrus fruits; spicy foods; fatty foods; and fried foods. I would recommend keeping a journal noting the times and the foods that could have possibly caused the flare-up. You should notice a pattern in a few weeks.

2. Soft foods! To start the acid reflux diet treatment, we recommend eating soft foods for the first few days (2-3 days) of your treatment. During this time, your esophagus and LES will be able to do the majority of the healing. Avoid all crunchy foods that could scratch the esophagus while being digested.

3. Water! You should start drinking a tall glass of water after every meal. We recommend eating 5 smaller meals per day as opposed to 3 large meals. Water will help cleanse the LES so it closes up tighter, not allowing gases and acid to leak up into your esophagus, causing the pain.

4. Chew! This is a habit you should start Now! You should chew your food as thoroughly as possible before you swallow. There are many benefits including: aid in digestion; reduces food consumption; prevents heartburn; and will eventually help you lose weight.

5. Apples! Here is a common acid reflux natural remedy that has worked for thousands of my customers. My dad also discusses this remedy on our website.
