Members BusterBuster Posted June 26, 2009 Members Share Posted June 26, 2009 Did until I started the daily purple pill. No problem since Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ultrahighgain Posted June 26, 2009 Members Share Posted June 26, 2009 Try to avoid eating less than three hours before you go to bed. I've found this helps. ...and as in anything....drink plenty of water and get enough fiber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members isvoid Posted June 26, 2009 Members Share Posted June 26, 2009 Did until I started the daily purple pill. No problem since I've been on losec for a couple years. Between that and avoiding bread / flour (except spelt) I'm normally good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members PlayboyChris Posted June 26, 2009 Members Share Posted June 26, 2009 Might be acid reflux. You should have that {censored} checked out before you {censored} up the lining of your upper digestive tract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members isvoid Posted June 26, 2009 Members Share Posted June 26, 2009 Might be acid reflux. You should have that {censored} checked out before you {censored} up the lining of your upper digestive tract. Understatement. GERD is nothing to {censored} with, it can develop into something unbearable or worse, debilitating and/or cancerous. See a doctor, maybe two. I know because I have GERD, which I wrote off as "bad heartburn". It was only because my wife insisted that I got check out. FFFFFFUUUUU, I have GERD, but luckily it was caught pre-cancerous -- I get checked every 6 months now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On Memorial Day I thought my {censored}ing chest was going to explode. Almost went to the emergency room. Was diagnosed after a battery of tests including an ultrasound. Before he put me on meds the doc told me to eliminate the 4-shot lattes I was drinking each morning before work. That alone cured it. Highly acidic {censored}, that espresso.

Members Ron Burgandy Posted June 26, 2009 Members Share Posted June 26, 2009 I used to have heartburn. Then it turned into really bad heartburn. Then it turned into knife into stomach like pain that was constant. Then I found out I had bleeding ulcers. Too much burning of the candle at both ends. Point is, like others have said above, to get that checked out like yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad you caught it in time Chris. I attribute mine to 30+ years of smoking and coffee. Quit smoking 8 years ago (coming this July 1st). I'm still hooked on the coffee, tho topping it with lots of milk seems to buffer the acidity -- a lot. Everyone's biochemistry is different, and this will sound strange, but {censored} me, white bread / pasta etc. gives me pain. Spicy food? No problem. Weird but I'm grateful, I'm a Thai/Vietnamese/Korean/Indian food junky, tho I do have to watch ginger and wasabe. Everything else (chilies, garlic, pepper etc.) is cool, so to speak. Alcohol? Out.

Members BusterBuster Posted June 26, 2009 Members Share Posted June 26, 2009 Anyone that has heartburn needs to see a doctor and have an upper GI done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members UltramegaOK Posted June 26, 2009 Members Share Posted June 26, 2009 GERD +1 Famotadine (known as Pepcid AC over the counter) is a safe drug to help control acid reflux. Up to 40mg dosage is pretty easy on the system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bluesboy Posted June 27, 2009 Author Members Share Posted June 27, 2009 Yeah, i've been trying OTC pepcid and it seems to work fairly well for me. ZANTAC didn't due crap. i have a checkup scheduled pretty soon, Ill be sure to mention it to the doc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
