Acid Reflux And Symptoms
Q: Does anyone have any problems with Acid Reflux?
I have pain, burning, gas and an unpleasant feeling in my chest. I have had an
upper GI which showed acid reflux but the med's just are not working I am not
eating tomato based products, caffiene, chocolate, soda or alcohol. All the
symptoms started around the same time as the bad back pains that my doctor says
are from endo. It makes me wonder. If anyone has these symptoms, can anyone help me please?
A:I too have acid reflux AND endo AND ibs. I was only diagnosed with endo 6 mos
ago and had a lap and stage 3 endo. But, previous to my having the lap, I went
to the doctor with reflux and nauseaed stomach plus abdomen etc. I was put on
prevacid and propulsid and used to eat a large bottle of tums a week.
This went on for 2 years or so. I had all the tests done, upper gi,
colonoscopy (which actually found my endo) and all the other lovely ones.
I was always told from docs before knowing of my endo that it was my nerves but
after reading a lot about endo within the last six months, I am beginning to
see a link.
My stomach is always "mildly inflamed" but nothing serious.
