I seem to be on a merry go round, not a fun one eitheršŸ˜£

It starts with food getting stuck and having to belch my way through then turned to indigestion,belly ache, feeling sick and dizzy after eating then horrendous heartburn!

Went to doc's prescribed omeprazole(didn't take them as the bad press they get and I also started feeling a lot better) and did a sample.

I've tried eating minimal and slowly and that seemed to help for a while.

Yesterday I must of ate too fast or something because I'm back to square 1 again.

Any tips please. šŸ‘

You can no longer eat big meals or eat anything of which u are intolerant. Itā€™s not possible ever again. If u want your body to be kind to u, u have to be kind to it.

Do try. Omeprazole 20mg tablets about 30 minutes before a meal. It may help as long as the meal is small and of foods u tolerate.

Eat slowly small amounts at a time. Avoid so much food it gets stuck. Have axā€™small sip of water if anything gets stuck. Wait. Then try another small bite. Make a note of what caused the problem. U may need to avoid this in future or cook it another way.

This condition doesnā€™t go away , but will improve if u allow it to small steps at a time.
