GERD treatment?

1

Did anyone else develop GERD after giving birth??? I started to get bad pains around 3 months post, I was also sick at the time and thought maybe pneumonia, but when I went to the walk in they told me I have GERD and to just take zantac daily…

my question is to those of you who have it … what do you take?? How often?? And does it ever go away??

Some of the flare ups i get feel like I’m having a heart attack, it is hard to breathe and i cant find a comfortable position. I’m slowly figuring out which things trigger it which of course are some of my favorite foods. But I’ve been trying to cut items that make it flare up out of my diet.

Yep. And gastritis. Medicine doesn’t work for me. I did have my esophagus dilated which helped some. But when I experience the pain, I drink pickle juice and it soothes it.

Yes! Well, I had it before my first pregnancy, and I took nexium for 2 years and it went away, but by my 3rd pregnancy it came back mildly (10 years later). I recently started zantac, so we’ll see how it goes, but the nexium was awesome. My dad took nexium for a few years too and now he says he’s healed.

Sounds like gallbladder! I had the exact symptoms after my son and after I had my gallbladder removed, it helped so much!
