GERD question
| Tue, 06-01-2004 - 12:35pm |
OK well it looks like I have made the jump from IBS to IBS & GERD.
I have HORRID heartburn, which I have never had before. It woke me up at 1 this morning and has been there ever since. I also have this horrid taste in my mouth, so...
Anyone out there in message board land have GERD? I have done some looking up of it and it looks like I might be in the early stages of it, but I would love from first hand knowledge of it.

I don't ever have heartburn so this is surprising to me. There are other symptoms that I have but I am not going to share here since it would be GROSS. ewwwww
I was hoping I would be one of the few people that don't have both. I am also hoping you might be right that it may not be it...nasty thing. I don't want to go thru all the tests again.
i hate that thing.
Karri, sorry to hear you aren' feeling well. :( Have you had this type of heartburn before?
Again something to discuss with your doctor. There are lots of prescription meds out there too. Good Luck! Hugs, Brenda

I have IBS and it looks to be that GERD and IBS go hand in hand. This is the second time in a month that I have had heartburn and the first to have it last a full 16 hours with an after taste.
What they are going to do is have me take ptilosec and see if that helps. She (the doc) is hoping this is a one time thing and will go away. if not then I go in for the blood work and get scoped...AT BOTH ENDS!!!!!
I hate the burping most of all though...never burped so much in my life. :)
I am hoping this is going to be gone this next day.

so far the prilosec is working. i still feel a bit icky but it is not like it was. i didn't go walking yesterday cause it just burned so bad. telling you it was like i sunburned my tummy on the inside.
i am hoping this is a one time thing and i won't get scoped. ....on both ends :)
Just a question...is this something you have had for a while or did it just start? I ask because I have been having heartburn issues for a little over six months now.
