I haven't had that since I was last pregnant... but I'm finding more and more food groups affect my Gastric reflux problem and even though I'm on meds for heartburn , I'm getting it more frequently. Anything that's considered a " bad " food, such as chips, chocolate etc don't affect me , but good foods like veg , fruit, wholemeal bread ( or anything high fibre ) can cripple me.

Have you been checked out to see if it's a hormonal problem ? ( I know when it happens in pregnancy it's caused by changing hormone levels )

ahhh! have been wondrin bout the reflux bit, get bad ibs and am veggie, and it is all the nice yummy healthy stuff thats turning my tum tum. had blood test not long ago but nowt turned up! what meds for heartburn? i usually just get stuff from chemist, which is daft when have exemption certificate i know, but docs takes forever to see someone!xx

I have Lansoprazole which I take an hour before I eat or drink anything in the morning snowbell but I know lots of people take Omeprazole ( I think that's what it's called ) and get good results with that.

Lately though I've been topping up after meals with Gaviscon , I get that on prescription too as I have a pre-pay certificate and it's expensive stuff !

Go see your GP if you can , if you don't have to pay you may as well get your stuff on prescription and save a few pounds !

Horrible isn't it Chris ? I love veg and salad and in the summer I love fresh fruit salad but it just gives me the most awful heartburn now . ... and yet I can eat chips, chocolate etc and be fine.

They do say IBS starts from the mouth all the way down t'other end though !

Hi snowbell,

I have had problems with smells and food for a long time. My worst is butter, i cannot stand the smell of any butter but clover,dont know why. lol.

It is the most expensive too but i always have to buy it.

I cant stand smell of meats being cooked.

Also certain perfumes i cant stand neither, my sister in law gets loads of it from me lol.

The sickly feelings havent happend for a while, hope they dont come back, but i am sure they will lol.
