Is anyone experiencing increased GERDS/Acid Reflux?

Thank you for responding. I have been on Prilosec since about 2012 and Famotidine since 2020. I was not aware of trigger rebound but that does describe my situation. Right now, just about any foods make it worse. I have scheduled an appointment with a Nutritionist. Hopefully they will be able to help with both my acid reflux and osteoporosis. I will also review the link you provided. Thank you again!!

I started out with famotidine and then moved to omeprazole. After experiencing severe acid reflux, a friend of mine told me to go see a gastroenterologist, so I did.
Had to have an EGD done and found out that my esophagus was worn out from the acid and I also have Barrett’s esophagus and hiatal hernia. A nutritionist is not who you want to see yet.
I would first go and find out how severe your Gerd is.
Basically I have had to change my entire diet. No fried foods no alcohol no chocolate no tomatoes no peppers no cucumbers. That includes anything fried like potato chips or corn chips, no orange juice no grapefruits, no salsa and no spicy anything if you want to nip it in the bud.
You do not want to take oral fosomax because it can harm the lining of your esophagus, if you don’t follow directions strictly. There aren’t a whole lot of options out there without serious side effects like stroke and heart attack so I’m double thinking the whole bone building drug thing.
