OMG, grossest thing happened to me last night (maybe TMI)

I started Prilosec OTC (SP?) over the weekend for my raging acid reflux.  It has been working well.  So, last night I made turkey chili for dinner.  Probably not the best thing for someone with reflux.  Anyway, I ate a normal sized bowl and was fine.  A couple hours later I was laying in bed reading and I could feel it coming back up, but it just didn't burn like it would have before the meds.  I didn't think a lot of it.  I went to sleep a little later.  Shortly after, I woke up choking on stomach acid (I assume).  It was in my nose and everything, but not throw up.  So weird...as GROSS.  I could not get the taste out of my mouth.  I finally found a mint and that curbed it a little. 

Needless to say I had to rethink my plan of bringing leftovers for lunch.  But seriously, have you ever heard of such a thing?  MH thought I was dying or something b/c of how hard I was choking.

Oh you poor thing! ?I had that once (when I was pg with Gracie) and it was awful. ?So much worse than throwing up. ?

No more chili for you!?

Oh my.  That sucks.  I would much rather throw up than have that happen. 

And yeah, I would rethink those leftovers.  I don't know if I could ever look at chili again after that.  LOL

Wow that must have been scary.  Something similar happened to me when I was pregnant with Paige, I had heartburn when I was laying in bed and then I had to get up and puke it was definitely a weird experience.

Yes!  It's awful, isn't it??  That started happening to me when I was pg w/ Matthew, and unfortunately it still continues.  I take prilosec by prescription now, which has greatly helped it, but it still happens from time to time if I eat something spicy even hours before bed.  It sucks!

Crazy girl! Isn't pg fun? I have been getting a little reflux this time around too and have never had it in my life. Counting down the weeks...

That happened to me several times during my last month or so. I ended up sleeping sitting up in a recliner every night, it was so bad.

Hopefully the Prilosec will prevent it from happening again. Hope you feel better!

Ewww...I remember before I took Zantac I would gag on the acid and throw up.  I finally had to have DH call the dr on call (because it was night time)and tell him my acid reflux was making me throw up......at least I did not get it up my nose!  I remember how horrible it was.....stay away from the chili!
