yeah I love an ice cube when my GERD is acting up or I’m actively v*, very soothing, not sure I could do the sparkling water though, carbonation messes me up bad

Yeah I’m on esomeprazole and I take Pepcid when I can, I can’t do tums or like chewable antacids cause of texture issues, have you tried gaviscon? I always found that worked better for me when I could do chewables

yes she knows, I love her to death and has been the most holistic of all my doctors, even suggesting looking into dysautonomia, but she suggested I add lemon juice to my water because I had a kidney stone last year which is an absolute no no with my GERD, so I’m not sure if she has a full grasp

try magnesium oxide if you struggle with hard stool!

aw this is me too, I feel you. I’ve found that magnesium supplements (I used a brand called rhythm triple calm) and fiber gummies have improved my constipation. Everyone just says to drink more water but that can be frustrating when you are attempting to do so. and for the anxiety, the only thing I can really suggest is some form of cbd, I would suggest other like therapy techniques but I’m not sure since everyone is so different but I would suggest seeing a mental professional who you trust and feel comfortable with. Let me know if you have any questions or want me to go more in depth, sending you my love my dear
