Started last night, kept me awake most of the night. Has anyone else experienced this or am I just unlucky and have acid reflux on top of my liver problems?!

I experience your symptoms every day any time. Get your doctor to prescribe Lansaparazole. This definitely helps, also you can buy Remegel again from Boots.. Do not take the two at the same time. Hope this helps.

If you still have your gallbladder it could be stones or infection there, they cause the symptoms you describe. I would say speak to your doctor as you may need antibiotics

Again it could be the longterm meds you take that contribute to this:

Quote from the National Digestive Diseases Information Clearinghouse (NDDIC) website:

"factors that can contribute to GERD include

•certain medications, such as pain killers, sedatives, and antidepressants"

Hi Kat, definitely sounds like reflux. Go to the docs and tell him. They will put you on omeprazole or lansaprazole. My doc explained it as "when your spleen and liver are swollen there's not enough room for your food" lol so it comes back up. There can also be problems with varices in the gut sphincter meaning it doesn't seal properly. They might recommend a gastroscopy to see what's going on down there. Not very pleasant but it gives them a good idea what they're dealing with. Bottom line: Go see the doc. Don't try self medication. Good luck Ph1ldad
