GERD help

[Francesca-H]

Does anyone else have GERD and what are your symptoms...ive recently change meds to lansoprazole about 4 weeks ago and although it has helped a great deal there are still days where I get symptoms...is this normal? I know stress and anxiety doesn't help...

Hello

Yes I have suffered with it years and taken the meds you are on which helped but after a few years I stopped them as I felt they stopped helping me as much

It is very normal even when it has settled for it to come back and try keeping a dairy of the foods you have been eating because after years of suffering I have found certain foods trigger or make mine worse so I have to avoid them

Obviously if you get anxious this will make it flare up to but I would not worry because what you have said sounds normal and the fact you have only been taking the tablets a short while I would not go in a panic yet they seem to be doing there job

I only get GERD flareups when my anxiety is high. Lately I have hardly any reflux at all. But I will get it to where it goes all the way up to my nose and I’ve had to have my esophagus widened from the inflammation causing constriction.
