How to tackle bad GERD?

Posted by januaryjane @januaryjane, Mar 20 1:10am

Last year I had a scope and it turned out everything was pretty irritated. I tried switching my medication up multiple times and still do not have a good handle on it. Diet etc helps but only to an extent. I can't handle foods or medicines like I use to do. It's been an awful battle of different symptoms. Nausea, indigestion, bloating, acid reflux, regurgitation and sometimes vomiting. I'm just wondering when this will subside and what if meds don't help anymore? I'm scared that I won't be able to stomach any new medication I might need. It's taking forever to get into the gastroenterologist.
I can't take nsaids or ibprofen anymore and I have chronic inflammation..so it's driving me a little bonkers. Please anyone with similar GERD issues chime in!

I'm fine with a brand of alkaline water, I got it from Samas club. (: I already feel a bit better by drinking this water, verse the one I was drinking. Thank you so much. I am wondering if there are any more kind of drinks that are recommended. I love fruit juices but have been told to keep away from citrus, so I am looking for alternative fruit drinks. Do you have any suggestions?

I love juice too but cannot have it ;( I can sometimes stomach a vitamin water, like the dragon fruit. I've also watered gatorade down and can manage that occasionally. Try icing down herbal teas and infuse with fruit.
