Reflux and Awful Taste

bchildrn

Anyone have any suggestions for curbing this awful reflux I'm experiencing. It's so bad and makes me want to vomit a lot of the time. I tried tums and they did nothing so I switched to Pepcid but I am still suffering. I also am getting this awful taste in my mouth when I eat, mostly when I eat carbs or sugar based foods. It is so nauseating. Anyone else experiencing this and ideas to get it to go away permanently? Any suggestions greatly appreciated =]

I had really bad acid reflux last night. I took a Pepcid and chewed a Rolaid. It made me feel better today. I'm staying away from acidic foods for now and drinking lots of water. Hope you feel better!

I used to have really bad gerd and ice cream helped a lot. Just a simple vanilla. If you like drinking milk straight that'll help too, I just can't stand plain milk. You need basic foods to help counteract the acids in your stomach. Also, simple to digest, so stay away from fatty, oily, spicy foods.

Sleep elevated when you sleep (a couple extra pillows), it'll help. And lay on your left side to help prevent the acid from seeping up into your esophagus.

The bad taste is likely from the reflux. Maalox is amazing and gas ex strips are my current fav. They are peppermint flavored and dissolve on your tongue so you don't have to stomach chalky tablets.

Try some calming yoga before bed too! One thing that'll make your reflux worse instantly is stress. Keep as stress free as possible.

Heartburn and reflux is the worst!!!! I hope it gets better for you!!!

I've got the nasty taste in my mouth too. Haven't really figured anything out to deal with it other than drinking way more water than I need to try to dilute it down which still doesn't really work...

Last pregnancy, my OB had me taking a zantac everyday, I couldn't even drink water without getting reflux. It helped a lot.
