I basically get sort of a mild burning sensation in my abdomen all the time, I also get that acid like taste in my throat that is not harsh because I don’t get a big dose of it but sometimes I do. Also, after sleeping you sometimes feel like somebody punched you in the stomach and you have like a stomach ache for about an hour or so in the morning until it settles. I am supposed to get an endoscopy but that’s not until late September. In the meantime you gotta deal with the annoyances. My doctor has me taking 40 mg of Pepcid AC twice a day as well as pantoprazole. I personally don’t think it’s doing a whole lot. I should definitely try to seek some sort of eating habits that are more friendly, but sometimes even when you drink cold water that aggravates it. I haven’t been diagnosed with Gerd, but I continually keep getting treated as if I do have it and the symptoms that I have seemed to point in that direction. Other than hiatal hernia, which I don’t feel like I have all the symptoms of that, it seems more in tune with GERD.. This nurse did not mention the burning sensation you get in the stomach. I don’t feel much in my chest just sometimes a mild burning sensation. But not like typical heartburn.

There are also other surgical alternatives to the fundoplication such as the LINX procedure which I had done over 2 years ago. It has worked beautifully until recently when I had a flare-up but apparently I will have to take a PPI from time to time but that is better than being on a medication all of the time. There are also a couple of other procedures that I don't know much about like Stretta and TIF which are supposedly much less invasive than fundoplication or even LINX.

The FDA has issued an immediate market withdrawal, and there won't be any more products with ranitidine on the market in the U.S. Because of the potential for increased cancer risk, the FDA does not think it's safe to continue taking ranitidine products.

Hello, is it possible for Miss Diagnosis on the Upper GI test for Gerd? Because i have difficulty swallowing, someone's feels like food is sitting in my pit of my stomach, drinks and food constantly going down the wrong pipe and I chock, i get bad heartburn after eating many different foods, I regurgitate sometimes. I throw up, my stomach gets so bloaded and painful, if I eat one or two hours before bed.. it'll be a nightmare.. I'll wake up several times with severe bloating and pain, and I'll burp and burp and burp.. I get a burning sensation in my chest/throat, and this happens nearly every day for more than half the day off and on. I'm so tired of it. Today, i had the upper gi test, and they ruled out Gerd and said I have a little acid reflux.. and I'm sitting here thinking how can everything I go throw suffering day after day just be (a little) acid reflux. I know my body, and I highly doubt it's just a little acid reflux. Tums worked at first, and then it stopped working, and I stopped taking them because if you take too many its bad. What are your ideas and thoughts? Thank you. Pls respond..

@marleanamarlianamont5939 5 ай бұрын

I'm glad they ruled it all out, but I fear I may have something there that they might have missed. I truly hope not. But if I have to guess, I would say I have severe acid reflux.
