Hi Annakalia, have just seen your post. What meds are you taking? I am alternating 50mg and 100mg Tramadol at the moment and find if I keep a pint of water on the go and keep drinking until early evening it helps with acid reflux. I have stopped GERD medication because of RLS. Also there are some foods I cannot tolerate, onion is the worst. Even banana is causing problems unless squashed on toast. So it can be hard to work out if it is caused by meds and how you take them or you have begun to have problems with some food. Hope you find some relief.

Yes annakalia...me. Since x'mas I have had terrible acid reflux and as I just wrote in another post, it could be connected to meds. Apparently the dopamine ones relax something in your stomach and allow the acid to rise ?? I am going to have to go to the docs as have tried all the antiacids and Zantac and it is not helping.

But it started with food at x'mas,. Looking it up seems that for me oranges and chocolate and lying down after eating are the worst triggers....good luck

eating crisps seems to do it for me so im staying off the food that seems to be the cause of it and hoping that it will stop i hope you have some luck in the docters.
