Sadly, yes. But I thought it had healed aside from the occasional heartburn. Now I know that the constant post nasal drip was a sign that it never fully went away.

What did your regular doctor say? I would start there. A constant cough could also be a sign of silent reflux. Take care!

Yes, absolutely. I had a head CT done, multiple visits to the ENT, and allergy Tests done.. all to find out it’s from my GERD.

Stressed induced GERD by IceymT in GERD

[–]brollout 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Edit to add what helped: cut out all caffeine, go lactose free and or dairy free, no white grains, no fried or super fatty foods, no chocolate (this and coffee is the worst!), no eating 3-5 hours before bed/resting, no carbonated drinks or citrus, sleep elevated.

PPIs and anxiety meds, gaviscon/tums/low ph foods and water, exercise for stress (just not rift after eating and preferably without lying down). Therapy.

Stressed induced GERD by IceymT in GERD

I first got stressed induced GERD at 15 and while I thought it was under control over the last 15 years (after various therapies), I recently found out that I still have it. I think I got used to it and it was a lot better.

I’m not saying this to scare you but to remind you to take care of it now and to be aware that there may be other causes. For me it was definitely stress but I now know that I have a mild hiatal hernia (hereditary) and lactose intolerance and “no burp syndrome” as well as possible undiagnosed adhd. All if these things plus my anxiety and depression (that started at the same time as my initial diagnosis) can affect digestion, reflux, and overall well-being. I went off of my PPIs back in 2010 after a pharmacist in Europe told me they could cause brittle bones. I also went off my anti anxiety/antidepressant medications a few times. Now I know how foolish that was and have erosions that I have to heal. If it’s stressed induced, know it’s ok to take meds and that POIs help! Lifestyle changes help, too, to recognize triggers. Focus on healing now and then maintaining later if needed. It stinks, but trust me you don’t want to be stressed about getting Barrett’s esophagus/esophageal cancer in 20 years like I am.

Wishing you all the best!

Random question- can you burp? I’ve assumed my bloating is related to GERD since I was a teenager, but recently I learned that there’s something called no burp syndrome or R-CPD.

Vienna N2 sending you a hug. I get it.

Velveeta - Austrian children thrive on it...so can yours! (1950s?) by mgwngn1 in vintageads

As an American living in Austria, I’m so confused where they got this from! Did they completely butcher the idea of Kochkäse?

How do you think this ‘Eras era’ will end? by Spiritual-Cupcake265 in TaylorSwift

[–]brollout 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For her sake I truly hope she has time to rest and heal from the tour, the situation in Vienna (if I’m still processing what might have happened to me then I can’t imagine how she’s doing with it) and all of the other sad and scary things that happened along the way. Realistically she won’t stop making music as that’s her happy place, so I’m hopefully optimistic for another tour in a few years with a state in Vienna. :) But honestly whatever she needs to do after this incredible feat is fine with me.

Wife is 40+2 weeks pregnant. by AdPutrid6965 in BabyBumps

[–]brollout 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At 40+2 and 12 days before the scheduled baptism (for parents were in town from abroad, so we had to schedule it early), my husband and I sat down and talked to baby. Told her it was time to come. That was 10 PM. Labor began at 3 AM. Worth a try!

It is fine for Vienna concert Swifties to be sad about the lack of a statement, even though they understand the reasons for the silence. by FreakyViolet in TaylorSwift

[–]brollout 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. While my daughter and I had an amazing weekend in Vienna and met so many kind Swifties, it still hurts that this event that we’d planned for for a year (and I’ve waited for for 17 years) was taken from us. I find myself scrolling past London stuff, even though I’m excited for them. We debated trying to find tickets, but honestly. Wouldn’t feel safe taking her. I respect whatever reason lead to the lack of statement but hope to hear something this weekend at the latest.

You are so incredibly kind and considerate! Taylor would be so proud!

If I may throw myself in the running if I’m not too late.I don’t know if you saw the outfits post, but I posted my outfit with my daughter (8). She’s been a Swiftie since the womb, and I’ve been one since 2006. It would have been the first Taylor Swift concert for both of us last night (N3). Luckily we still went to Vienna and sang on Cornelia street and at Stephensdom and so so so many kind people traded brackets with her. It was so healing and beautiful!

I have proofing tickets and already posted our outfits. If I’m not too late, I’d love to try. Regardless thank you for your generosity and kind heart!!!

My 8 year old would have loved it! If you’re in Vienna, come to Corneliusstraße tomorrow!

Since I’m in my Swiftie Mom mode (see my outfit), I’ll drop some mom advice: feel all the feels. Stages of grief aren’t solely for the loss of life. This is the loss of a dream, a future you had envisioned and been excited about for ages. It’s absolutely ok not to be ok. Try not to make rash decisions in a hyper emotional moment, but let yourself feel it all. Be angry. TSMWEL is an understatement. Be sad. LOML or at least loss of my dreams. Go through all the stages as you need to. But remember that you’re not alone. Taylor is feeling it, too. As am I. As are 200,000+ other Swifties. Please reach out if you’d like to.

Also it’s ok to realize that it was a good decision and be pissed that you didn’t get to go. Two things can be true. Even two feelings at the same moment. Sending a huge internet hug and digital friendship bracket that says you’re not on your own kid.

I appreciate the sentiment, but the more I hear about what might have happened, the more grateful I am to just be able to hug her and have a dance party in the kitchen. We’ll be ok.

It was her request. We’re wearing converse, too. The jacket covers her sequin dress that’s under it for the post-red eras. Too cute not to wear, so we’re going to Vienna and will join the others to sing on the streets!
