Acid Reflux and its Symptoms: Are they chronic?

Posted by mwarenski @mwarenski, Feb 13, 2017

Does anyone have a variety of symptoms associated with Acid Reflux that are chronic? Such as chest pain, back pain, weird tastes, etc.? Please tell me your symptoms. A little worried here...thinking it may be something more serious.

Hi @karen44, @dandl48 poses an excellent question. How is your primary physician addressing this? Are you seeing a GI specialist? Can you tell us about some of your other symptoms?

I can have a MRI under 0.7 Tesla, whatever that is. And I haven't had to vomit since having the LINX but my Mayo surgeon said I could, although I would rather not test that! I can burp but don't have the need as much anymore. I thought they could remove the hernia. I had a small one they removed. I went to Dr. Harold at Mayo Phoenix.

Yes, try the Paleo Diet and cut out all the carbs! Even watch the fruit. It worked miracles for me. I was still taking Zantac twice a day after my LINX surgery, after stopping all carbs and fruit I lost the bloating, gas, burning, weight and no longer have to take anything!

Hello @karen44,

Welcome to Connect. Thank you for taking the time to share your symptoms and frustrations with the bloating, and distended stomach.

@karen44, have you spoken to your doctor about this? What did they say? Have they been able to rule anything out?
