Hi! My name is Harmony I'm 30 year's old and I do vist some of the board's on IV mainly Q&E cooking :) .
Some history -
I have come by here 'lurking" but now I have some question's that I hope other's with the same problem might be able to help me. I do suffer from the most worst case of GERD my doctor has seen. Nothing has worked food change's diet (losing weight) you name it something always cause me to be 'sick' even while on my meds.
I also have a Hiatal hernia and a fatty liver that is enlarged so that does not help in my discomfort at all. I have good day's but the last 2 weeks have been so hard. I use to weigh 255 I have gotten down to between 211-221 but in the last 2 years it has stayed that way with no changes.
I have this full feeling with the smallest amount's of food I eat even drinking a glass of water makes me feel like I have over eaten. I have had more of my night time attacks. Those are when the acid comes up & wakes me because Im choking on well my stomach contants. It burns it hurts and it takes like blood. Only ice and crackers help a little. It feels liek I had been getting sick but in burns so bad! That is on the meds & it is too times worse when Im not or I forget to take them.
I havent had the scope done in 5 years since they found the hernia. I take a number of meds as the switch them up to see if something will work but nothing yet. I currently take Prosleic (sp) 40 mg 1 a day and Zantac 150 every other day sometimes every day. There are time's if I just assume to eat nothing but plain no seasoned food and water I have better day's I can not find any drink other then water that wont cause the acid NOTHING . So after doing my 'special' diet I do get mad and go off of it . Who wants to eat plain nasty food all the time. I love my spice stuff but I dont eat it that often.
Question (s)
Why do I get this full feeling witht he smallest amount of food or a glass of water? I feel bloated & sick to my stomach all day .
What is the taste of blood when I wake up on those bad night's? Is it really blood?
My main on is the full feeling I have I cant stand it anymore I feel so full/over eaten feeling but yet I sometimes feel hungary. My food stays at the base of my throught and if I burp YUK its one of those yukkie ones. :(((((
Thanks in advance for anything you may be able to help me with.

It sounds like your doctor isn't taking you seriously, or you aren't telling him/her what you wrote here. You have to remember to take the prescribed medications as ordered, in order for them to work properly. Staying away from the foods that you know will cause problems isn't fair, but only you can decide if it is worth the pain.
Congratulations on the weight loss, are you happy with where you are at now, or do you think that losing more weight might help your health issues? What has your doctor suggested?
I can't offer much info because I feel that you need to sit down with your doctor and be brutally honest with him/her. If you are doing everything you've been told to do with no improvement, it might be time to find a new doctor!
Please feel free to visit anytime and also let us know how you are doing.
