That is horrid. I used to get a lot of that but since I have been on tablets from the doctor it has sorted it out. I take lansoprazole in the morning and ranitidine at night. I was diagnosed with acid reflux which is bad because it can damage the oesophagus.

thankyou for you advice think i will go to my gp as its getting worce yes i have heard of lansoprazole its a tummy protector is that correct??? and were is the oesophagus in your body as i get alot of burning in my chest to mouth ? any advice would be greatfull

[Jude65 in reply to traceyd]

The oesophagus is the tube that connects the stomach and mouth, so you feel the burning in your chest when the acid flows up. It is usually especially bad when you lie down at night. Some foods make it worse eg. acid fruit, chocolate, spicy foods etc. Also I was told not to eat anything two hours before going to bed. When you have food in your stomach it sets off the secretion of acid to digest the food.

It took me a while (with my GP) to get the correct dose to stop the acid reflux, so do persevere if its not sorted straight away.

Hope this helps.

Hi all, it is the tablets we are on, I have been suffering with acid reflux for a few weeks now, it has woken me up to the point I was being sick, I have a blister in my mouth now, guess what helped me? MILK, I swear by it, I drink milk before I go to bed and it is working, I will see my gp though but I don't want to take anymore pills. Try the milk. Warm at night with one sugar. Works wonders. X

hello .I too suffered with acid to the extent it burnt my oesophagus and its now badly scarred.. thankfully i now take lansoprazole which works so well x

[traceyd]

thankyou for all your wonderfull advice yes acid is a real problem at the moment think a nice warm cup of milk at night might help

i dont eat that often as my appetite has gone again and i never eat at night

once again thanks all xxx
