I have been so sick for months and Prilosec has worsened conditions. I need help but can’ t help when trying to talk with PCP. My doctors can’t listen to side effects. Lost well over 30 lbs because I cannot Sleep or eat. I also am told this is all in my head. Two years ago, same doctor tells me I have MAC but reaction to meds was very bad. I saw someone made up list of foods she has played around with but can’t find her. I have had achalasia but told before surgery this was all in my head.

@macjane So sorry it is miserable to be sick like that. I understand when I had that H-Pylori I was like that. Have you gone for second opinions from another GI Dr? I might recommend you do that.
Here is the an article about eating a Gerd Diet I posted somewhere in this feed. And some drinks I drink to help heal my throat. Natural Alkaline water helps too.
The Healthy Gerd Diet? https://www.gerd-diet.com/
I also find that drinking Aloe and Coconut Water helps settle my stomach.
Can you post how your feeling after trying this?
Thank You
Jackie

I'm really sorry to hear about your suffering. I'm not qualified to advise you about your complex medical condition but I do have a list of foods that I avoid for the hyper acidity that I experience. I take Zantac 150 once in the morning before breakfast and then another one of the same before an early dinner.The foods I avoid are those that are spicy, tomatoes, garlic and pepper of all kinds.No citrus fruit or any tart tasting ones. Apples and bananas are fine for me.Unfortunately I have to limit eating mangoes that I love,to one a day at lunch only. I'm a vegetarian so no meat but skim milk with muesli- no added sugar- I use stevia as sweetener. By the way sugar is very bad for acidity ..so all desserts,chocolate, and coffee have to be avoided or drastically reduced.Deep fried foods are a no-no.Full fat cheeses should be replaced by low fat cottage cheese- this helps a lot when I take it last thing at night.However late night snacking is discouraged. You should leave a three hour period between dinner and going to bed,but I have occasionally eaten a banana/cottage cheese before going to bed if I'm hungry.Giving up coffee has been very difficult for me and I love sweet foods so that's also tough!I hope this will be of some help.Bless you
