GERD?

Hi Everyone,
My bf is 28 and he was diagnosed with GERD and put on Nexium by his Dr.It really hasn't helped him much,when he overeats at all,has a certain type of sweet food,I can only describe this as a "hacking" sound that he makes,actually it sounds as if he is throwing up.He has also been doing this lately when he firsts gets up in the morning,on an empty stomach.I was wondering if anyone has experienced anything like this and might have an idea what exactly is causing it?Any advice/suggestions/help will be greatly appreciated.Thanks so much and "Happy Memorial Day" to everyone.

Hi Stayinhealthy!


I think it's wonderful that you are concerned about your boyfriend.

Thank you for the most informative post. I learned so much. I've been having multiple problems and cannot discern whether they are from allergies, IBS or a sluggish digestion. I was recently prescribed a medication called ULTRASE, but cannot take it because I am allergic to PORK and ULTRASE is a pancreatic enzyme combination produced with PORK and the warnings on the Pharmacy printout says if you are allergic to pork Do Not Take This Medicine. Here I thought I would get some relief; they say that all the pancreatic enzyme medications are made with pork. Can you believe that? Prevacid doesn't seem to help much. My problems are minor compared to some on this board and I do feel guilty complaining, but they are very real to me and sometimes frustrating and painful. Anyway, thanks for the valuable information. I will save your post. Eastcote
