Today is a horrid day. I dont even know If I can eat. I am on prilosec and if I dont take it I get bloated and have intense pain and its hard even sitting. It literally makes me sick. My doc decided to double my prescription. and I am all out so I went to get more and they say its to soon to give you another. he forgot to change it at the pharmacy and he is out of the office and didnt change it in my chart. I am all out. I know there is prilosec otc but that doesnt help.My prescription pepcid isnt even helping. I am on phase 1 second week.
I havent had it since yesterday and I am already hurting! I ate eggs tomatoes, ham and cheese today with milk and yes I had two sips of coffee, which is fine when I am on prilosec.
I am just bummed I feel like this is a set back as I gained 10 lbs before they figured out what it was:(
Does anyone else have gerd/ acid reflux? Any suggestions?
Thanks~ Shannon |

Shannon,
I hope you are feeling better. I noticed no one responded to you. I don't know what to tell you and by now you might have fixed the situation. If it had been me, I would have called the pharmacy and asked if I could double my dose of prilosec otc to make it as strong as the behind the counter drug.
I have dealt with reflux since I started having babies but it really got bad last Sept. I got a cough and thought it was fall allergies. I was taking Tums like crazy. Then in December I got bronchitus. I know now that it was from the acid reflux. I have had bronchitus 2 more times and now I have a little asthma because of it. Had all the tests. I am normal. Doc has me on a some med I haven't heard of. I came to the conclusion that I just have to lose some weight and get the belly off me for the acid reflux alone. I am scared to eat chocolate or drink coffee because so the caffeine. I am careful of spicy foods and keep a bottle of Mylanta next to the bed.
Anyway, I hope you doing well. Keep in touch. |

| I did have another "attack" when I added wheat in from Phase 2. Took that out after two days and then had popcorn last night and it hurt me badly. I am now on protonix and it seems to be helping. I now think I have food allergies and go to an allergist on Tuesday. Its hard living with Gerd and acid reflux. I hope you get better soon, too. |
