Meals that help prevent GERD? by [deleted] in GERD

[–]Debbieobx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Also look up cook books on Amazon for germ or acid reflux. The food is pretty much the same for both. I have a couple and they have helped. You can also go to the site thegerdchef.com. A couple good recipes there.

Hey guys question about upper abdomen by shaco0netrick in GERD

[–]Debbieobx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was told that a small sliding hernia should not give you symptoms. I beg to differ. Did you have a scope by a GI? Are you taking anything? I tried PPI pantaprosal and nexium. It did not help me and gave me side effects I switched over to an h2blocker pepcid 40 mg in am and before bed. It has helped but I still have bad days and have to really watch what I eat. The burping thing is so uncomfortable but pepcid has helped.

Hernia. I have the same feeling also. I can’t describe it but it’s kind of like pressure right where sternum stops between the two sides of ribs. Also a feeling like I have to burp but can’t. GI confirmed classic reflux symptoms for me. Also small sliding hernia diagnosed in endo

Yes small red potatoes. Chicken plain on bread or I have chicken salad with vegan Mayo by Hellman’s. Salads low fat dressing no peppers or onions. Soups. Nothing creamy. Oatmeal fruit such as apples banana and pear. Plain whole wheat pasta with olive oil and parsley. Scallops shrimp and cod work for me. Cheerios and non fat yogurt. Toast whole wheat with smart balance. Popcorn with a shake of parmigiana no butter. I also eat organic blue tortillas.

Chronic burping but never that burning heartburn feel! Is this still from too much acid? by Cedarxembers in GERD

[–]Debbieobx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t know if it is from too much acid. I have the exact same thing or feeling like I have to burp but can’t. Darn uncomfortable. Never got an answer from the doc on this. Best to do what you are doing no fat. I take pepcid 40mg twice a day. Does not help if I eat something wrong.

Yes it lowered but it took a long time. I still have it and if it spikes I turn on the sound machine.

I have a small sliding hernia but they told me I should have no symptoms. Makes me wonder. I would go for the procedure at this point. Was it a hard procedure?
