cabosnoopy:God bless you, am staying away right away from those food u mentioned for like a month has suggested. No wonder my symptoms kept coming back like crazy. The new symptoms now is heavy stomach without eating like my tommy want to explode, blocking my throat, shucking me and heartburn. I noticed constant belching and once I belched i feel relief a bit. Reason one doctor I called told me my stomach is suffering from too much gas. Please elite me more, go deeper please. The gas in my stomach is making me uncomfortable and killing me. Heavy stomach in there like baby inside. Tell me more of what i should stay away from. What of that red apple? Green apple? Please go deeper, I will follow your instruction so well. I don't have this crazy heavy stomach before, i noticed it first started when i used ulcer kit Please what did you mean by PH of 5 and below? Full meaning of that PH so I can always Google before i put anything in my mouth |

cabosnoopy:Thanks, so like what from what PH to what PH should i stick to? So I can always check before eating honestly am scared... Does that mean forever i won't be able to eat what i like? Or just for few months. |
| Re: GERD Is Really Dealing With Me Help by Nobody: 5:31pm On May 01, 2020 |
cabosnoopy:Mine too started last year and i was still eating all the foods you mentioned. I used omoprazole last year and it works like miracle but this year omrprazole has refused to work. Probably because i kept eating acidic food. If i want to use omeprazole again, i will have to give it 4months break before using it because have taking enough but i kept eating what am not supposed to eat. My lump sign in the throat started last year but the heartburn started this year. Now i don't have that crazy heartburn again, i can say rulox worked for me on that but the lump sign in my throat is the problem and my full tommy |

| Re: GERD Is Really Dealing With Me Help by Nobody: 9:42pm On May 01, 2020 |
Zino89:Good evening. Have not started using it, my plan was to start tomorrow evening. I think the problem is not the combo not working but we eating the wrong food while on treatment. According to someone here, we need to stay away from some certain food |

NaijaRoyalty:You are not the one to tell me this, for your information have tried 2 different big hospital. I see nothing wrong in seeking solution from someone has passed through it. |
| Re: GERD Is Really Dealing With Me Help by cabosnoopy(m): 10:11am On May 02, 2020 |
Ladykiss:jus ignore.... na who wear shoe no were e dey pain am... he tot gerd is like malaria... even in most of d developed countries doctor find it difficult to treat gerd patients, all dey do is keep prescribing drugs dat has no impact not to talk of nigeria doctors.. let him go to quora and reddit and c pple dat has gerd for close to 30yrs and above worsened by doctors prescription. d only effective medical solutions to gerd is surgery dat one even comes with complications.. gerd is effectively treated and maintain by lifestyle and diet change. |

Ladykiss:.goodmorning to eat your food.. eat green vegetables ,okro, no egusi but u can try it and c if u ll react cus, sumtimes what trigger u may differ frm somone else triggers, no jollof rice except u not using tomatoes/paste white rice yes,spag are mostly made out of wheat flour which contains gluten which can worsen gerd though you can try it and after few minutes c aw ur body react,irish potatoe has a high GI index meaning it will spike up ur blood sugar level quickly and in treating gerd stay away from simple carb, sweet potato is better, u can eat ponmo, assorted meat shouldn't trigger u but c aw u react to it after intake. u can take ginger, clove and tumeric but garlic no itz a known triggers of gerd... i told u earlier on to always chew ginger every nite dont no if u av started.. and every morning always mix 2 teaspoon of original honey and half teaspoon of cinnamon in warm water.. jus follow my advice, u ll c massive changes.. |
| Re: GERD Is Really Dealing With Me Help by Nobody: 11:24am On May 02, 2020 |

For more than a month I've been having this feelings like something is stocked in my throatI can relate to what u are going tru, I had this GERD too while still in school, I was given esomega tablet, I used it but it kept coming back, I'll always be in serious pain cos of heartburn until I went to FMC in Abeokuta and a female doctor attendee to me, she assured me if I can follow the prescription it won't happen to me again, I was given Tab Elicorid, Gaviscon syrup and Tab Rabikol, I can't remember the dosage o cos its over 5years now and I haven't had it again since then, I was also advises not to take oily foods, and also not to lie down to sleep immediately after eating n reduced fried foods but I eat anything now cos I'm perfectly fine |

| Re: GERD Is Really Dealing With Me Help by Nobody: 1:25pm On May 03, 2020 |
cutewifey:Please your symptoms then do you have anything like something big stuck in your throat? Crazy heartburn that can last for 24 - 48hrs non stop? Difficulty to breath at night? |
| Re: GERD Is Really Dealing With Me Help by cutewifey: 4:31pm On May 03, 2020 |
Ladykiss:I don't have symptoms like something is being stuck in my throat or difficulty breathing, but serious chest pain and heartburn, I always hold my chest in pains and the duration isn't up to a whole day, anytime I take Esomega tablet it relieves me but comes back after a few days until I went to FMC and got a lasting solution |
| Re: GERD Is Really Dealing With Me Help by Nobody: 6:36pm On May 03, 2020 |
cutewifey:Pharmacy said no drug called Rabikol Please did you do H.plori test then? |
| Re: GERD Is Really Dealing With Me Help by cutewifey: 7:54pm On May 03, 2020 |
Ladykiss:Sorry for the spelling, its rabezol tablet, I didn't do any test, I just told the doctor my symptoms and I was prescribed the drugs. |
| Re: GERD Is Really Dealing With Me Help by Nobody: 5:40am On May 04, 2020 |
cutewifey:Good morning, please which of these rabezol did you used?
|
| Re: GERD Is Really Dealing With Me Help by cabosnoopy(m): 10:12am On May 04, 2020 |
Ladykiss:not to discourage u or fault cutewifey claim... this rabezol is a proton pump inhibitors just like omeprazole.. so no difference and moreover from what cutewifey wrote u can deduce her symptom was "only" heartburn occasionally which is normal cause u can have heartburn without gerd d reason dose drugs were effective for her but when u av heart chronic heartburn more dan twice a week and "other" symptoms dat is gerd which is more complicated.. however u can give drug a try and hope it works for u... |
| Re: GERD Is Really Dealing With Me Help by Nobody: 10:27am On May 04, 2020 |
cabosnoopy:Why omeprazole didn't work was eating the wrong food while on treatment, moreso i already sent to my doctor and he said is fine but i have to work on my diet too |
| Re: GERD Is Really Dealing With Me Help by cabosnoopy(m): 11:47am On May 04, 2020 |
Ladykiss:okies |
| Re: GERD Is Really Dealing With Me Help by cutewifey: 12:27pm On May 04, 2020 |
Ladykiss:I can't remember the exact type o, it has a green case sha its been abt 5years now, sorry u can ask abt the drugs b4 using them, it works for me I hope it works for u too |
