sudden acid reflux won't go away
Hi all,
I did not have acid reflux before, now suddenly I have it. It seems cough triggers it. I know Dr. Huitt's GERD RULES. It is not working for me. I would appreciate it if you share your experience how you stop it.
Thanks thanks!

Many have success with Acid Watcher Diet by Dr Aviv.
Thank you scoop. That is good to know. I hope it helps me too.

After a few months on the big 3 antibiotics, I suddenly developed heartburn. It mysteriously went away after about a month. Maybe it was related to the antibiotics and digestion. It’s a mystery to me. I used an alginate called refluxRaft, which helped a lot.

2 Reactions@ling... I also had sudden onset of acid reflux. My pulmonologist referred me to a upper GI doctor who performed a number of procedures, including an EGD (upper endoscopy) with EndoFLIP (Functional Lumen Imaging Probe). I was diagnosed with a sliding hiatal hernia. Just a thought...
Please reach out if you have any questions.

1 Reaction@jbix, @debinutah , Thank you for sharing your experience. I was thinking it might be related to azithromycin I took for almost a year to prevent the flare ups. I stopped it a few weeks ago. I hope the reflux goes away like yours. Because my diet has been pretty much on the alkaline side.

@ling, when you have reflux, it is best to avoid albuterol if you can.
Best wishes of great health to all of us!
@gigiv, ah, thank you so much. It is good to know.

@gigiv & @wangling I think the acid reflux cautions are true for some people with nebulized albuterol, but this topic is best discussed with you pulmonologist before making any medication changes.
@sueinmn, thanks Sue. Good point.
