Strong acid reflux

[Against_the_current]

Especially when i sleep. I wake up and i feel like my stomach is on fire. I can't eat or sleep, i do it out of tiredness or because im made to do it. Scared of vomiting or a stomach hole(forgot the word for it) but i would have noticed it? For the first time in my life i have no insurance as i graduated recently and wonder if i will need medical help or if docs would just tell me to take anti acid meds.

Took Omeprazol but i didn't notice change. Famotidine helps but only for short time. Been really stressed recently too and it got worse

I'm so sorry you are suffering. I would suggest surgery but you have no health care. It would be worth you reading Dr.Jamie Kaufman's book Acid Reflux Diet.She's a world expert and explains acid reflux disease. . Eating an alkaline diet can help.It takes time.I was as ill as you are and now I am much better.Good luck.

That sounds like a solid advice. It's great to know there's hope for our AtC!

[Jumpey in reply to SoporRose]

There is hope.Hang on in there.

Thank you. I need to check it

[SoporRose]

I wrote you in another post about lifting the head of your bed just a few inches to help tame the reflux at night. It's not a cure, but should help alleviate the agony at night. I remembered after I responded to that earlier post that my doctors also recommended a tablespoon of heavy cream to coat the lining of my piping. That helped and had no side effects.

Thank you

Thanks. I actually think it's poisoning not reflux

[SoporRose in reply to Against_the_current]

Food poisoning?

[Against_the_current in reply to SoporRose]

Yeah. Here the hygiene rules get casually broken after the pandemic rules got off and the water is also casually poisoned especially in my accommodation which i struggle to clean. In this poverty and bad management and nobody caring about people's health, not wearing gloves, selling expired stuff, paying the fee and continuing to sell expired stuff, i got poisoned. I got poisoned. And everyone blamed my symptoms including puking till passing out on anxiety. What a gasligher country. I can differ anxiety and poisoning. I mistook poisoning for acid reflux but i can never mistake it for anxiety. Like doctors tried to gaslight me. Even dad and grandpa knew it's food poisoning. The symptoms were food poisoning. From anxiety i can throw up like twice and without spasms. This thing was throwing up non-stop with spasms, diarrhea and everything. Really different. It's not caused by anxiety, it caused anxiety

[SoporRose]

Geez. Did the doctors give you anything to help?

I was on systems after a horrible night and begging for systems

[SoporRose]

I don’t know what you mean by “systems.” Would you explain that? I’m very curious what they are.

Like you get a thing in your vein and get liquids in your veins

watch Dr Eric Berg on youtube. Type in acid reflux and GERD, he got several videos. He will cure you. No anti acids. You are low on stomach acid, you need more acid to cure yourself. Famotidine, tums, any anti acids, they making you worse and worse. Get HCL, Hydrochloric acid.
