Acid Reflux

My son and I both suffer from GERD, Gastro Esophageal Reflux Disease, and therefore get really horrible heartburn and indigestion due to acid reflux. It’s very painful and sometimes even causes vomiting. I currently take Prevacid for my reflux problems, but it gives my son a stomach ache, so we’ve been trying to find a good Acid Reflux Medication that will help him to be more comfortable and not have as much reflux without also making his tummy hurt. When you have reflux disease, it’s difficult to enjoy some of the foods you may really like. You have to be careful what you eat even if you are taking medication because some foods can make you very uncomfortable and even make you end up vomiting. Sometimes it hurts worse than others, but food is one of the biggest contributing factors. It’s best to avoid tomatos, tea, and tons of other stuff like oranges, and even chocolate. I also have found that drinking a little milk does help when you are feeling bad due to acid reflux.

I feel for both of you. When I was pregnant I had such bad reflux that I sometimes felt like I was about to breathe fire.

Yeah, it’s pretty bad sometimes. Thankfully they have medications now to help with the problem.
