Thanks for the recs the other day on how to deal with my acid reflux! I tried generic CVS brand Prilosec, and now in day 4 I'm feeling a TON better. IT's like night and day.

I can eat real foods again! Salsa! Ketchup! Coffee! BEER!!!

    UGH I'm asking my doc about Prilosec tomorrow.  I almost can't function even when drinking...wait for it... water.

    I'm glad it's working for you, Lauren!

    Acid reflux is awful!  My practice likes pepcid AC, or at my visit today he also said zantac is safe.

    Water seemed to make mine worse. It was terrible.

    Susie - I've already been using those and NOTHING is working.  Ugh, annoying.

    I think if I could even avoid it with bland foods, on top of the GD diet, I'd be less annoyed, but water gives me heartburn/reflux.  That's the other thing, it's not just heartburn, I'm vomiting from the reflux.

    Pregnancy hates me.

    Ugh, it probably is, but it's all I can freaking drink due to this stupid GD diet.  I try to avoid diet drinks/aspartame while pregnant, and everything else is a no no because of the carb content.  Hopefully my doctor will okay trying one of the PPIs like Prilosec.  From what I've read some do, some don't.

    Oh Beth, I hope you get relief soon!

    Heartburn/reflux seems like such a common thing that it almost has a "no big deal" reputation. Until you have it. And then it suuuuuucks.

    And I really feel for y'all that have it during pregnancy because you're limited. I mean, I had a mild case when I was pregnant but it was nothing that some Tums didn't help!

    Beth, I vomited almost every day with my pregnancy and looking back, I think it was because of hte reflux, not real nausea.  I really wish that I'd taken some better medicine to control it so I hope that your doctor is cool with it!  After I delivered, I ate and didn't want to puke and I was the happiest girl alive.
