is acetaminophen really bad for GERD? I am trying to figure out why I'm getting stomach aches and heartburn after taking medication, and why I got the severe stomach pain last october I believe? I realized at the time i was sick I had a really bad cold, and I was taking medicine tylenol and comtrex for my cold symptoms which do help, I was wondering if this ingredient is bad for GERD? I have read that this acetaminophen is really bad for the liver, but haven't found anything for GERD? Any thoughts????

Hey Jess,
I would say it was probably the comtrex that did a number on you.
I haven't called him at all, I have an appt for March 10th to be seen and I am waiting because if I call now, I will get that nurse practitioner I don't like. He is no help with anything. Okay so it can affect some people. I ask because it seemed every month from Sept. to Nov. I was getting sick once a week on those months with colds, and I was taking comtrex because unfortunately it's the only thing that helps!!! I would take it for a week and then be fine and again next month take it for another week, and be fine, and so on!
Thanks for replying, and no need to worry about me I'll be fine!!
