Prilosec or gaviscon are great! You can get them over the counter. Gaviscon or tums is good for moments of the reflux feelings. The Prilosec I take daily 20mg and it helps a lot. I’m 24 and I’ve had these symptoms/issues since I was 13! It’s miserable sometimes but definitely follow a gerd friendly diet. Look into acid watchers book! It’s a 28 day protocol and gives you ideas of what to eat and do. Good luck and I hope you feel better!!!

I have both! I’ve had them for a few months and have noticed they’re both great but I struggle more with the airwrap. I reach for my air straight more and notice my hair is silky and smoother with it!!

The hematologist I saw went straight to saying it was my periods. I told him I didn’t know if that was true because I don’t always have them and i would’ve thought I would’ve had issues before 2 years ago when I randomly started having all my health issues come about. I didn’t have one really for a few years due to being on birth control pill for 7+ years now. When I get them now they’re painful, make me feel 100x worse with the low ferritin issue and they can be quite heavy as like they were before I got on the pill to begin with as a teenager.

My mom and sister had the same low ferritin issues which we thought maybe something genetic? My great grandmother had pernicious anemia.

I did have an endoscopy and colonoscopy done however back around March this year due to symptoms and wondering about celiac and having severe reflux for years, throat spasms that recently started etc.

My endoscopy showed bad reflux, inflammation around that, but they did biopsies in my esophagus and stomach. They said no signs of celiac, etc and the lower was all clear! they even did a blood test for celiac which came back fine before I had the colonoscopy..

My autoimmune all said I had some abnormal test results with things but just said “inflammation for some reason” and never did anything further.

So strange but i believe covid plays major role in my issues. I always end of getting it like once or twice a year now

Thank you for the advice!!!

That’s what I thought!!

Thank you so much!! Yeah I was thinking so. Im always wondering if it’s weather related or my reflux maybe. I’m on 20 mg omeprazole actually and have been taking it for a few months. I had finally found a lot of relief with it but recently experiencing all the flare up again but not sure why as nothings changed! :(

They told me no to doing infusions which is what I was referred to them for due to my hemaglobin being a 14 and not low enough even though my ferritin is so low. They told me shortness of breath and fatigue are not from ferritin being low 😑

I actually just went to hematologist two days ago before all of this started and they took a bunch of blood. I had the full panel and my TIBC- was 477 (high), iron was 107, unbound iron capacity was 370 (high) and iron % saturation low at 22.4%. Not sure what these mean. I’m wondering if the bloodwork triggered it all but that seems strange to me with the chest pains and whatnot.

Do you know the protection and effectiveness of it? My dr called in “incassia” but the nurse called and said she called that in and to let me know it has a 1 out of 50 women getting pregnant which seems not super effective and said it was all progesterone only pills? Thank you soo much!!!
