My mom and i have such an unstable relationship. Today is one of the stressful days. I've been having bad acid reflux the past few days. It hurts to touch my esophagus and I can't even take a deep breath. Every time I burp my throat burns and it tastes terrible. Any advice ?

Hi Katie

I've suffered from this for some time and mine is on and off. Some foods kick it off and sometimes I know my anxiety makes it worse. Since I have had my Gallbladder removed I find it's even worse. However that's not the point. My Dr prescribed me with omeprazole which some people take every day but I am fortunate to only take it when I get a bad attack if you like. I found these to be the best thing for it. Now you can, well in the UK, buy these over the counter but the prescribed ones are a bit stronger. Personally I don't like taking tablets so I only take them when it flares up. Might be worth checking in with the Dr as there are other options.

I can vouch for omeprazole too. Had them for a different thing. Mine was stomach ulcer. Jeez my stomach and up to my ribs burnt like mad. Felt like it was on fire. Finally couldn't stand anymore of it and went to seek help. The omeprazole worked from the 1st one. It was such relief xx
