"For every action, there is an equal opposite reaction..."
Who would guess that increasing my fiber intake by eating a heart healthy amount of Oatmeal every day would lead to my GERD acting up again? It had been years since I had dealt with GERD, and since then, I have had several mini strokes and developed dementia. I had forgotten ever having GERD!
And then, the symptoms began...
Belching. Pain under my breast. Pressure. Vomiting. Feeling full having eaten very little. Food getting stuck... One night, the pressure awakened me, and I feared I was having a heart attack. Days later, after a weekend of classes at an eating disorder where my granddaughter was being housed, I was sure--yes, SURE--I had bulimia. For a short while, I really went off the deep end with THAT thought! I even began checking our psychiatrists!!
And then, I went to my internist. Listening to my symptoms and looking back into the depths of my medical chart, he said, "Leah, you are not having a heart attack. I believe your GERD is back!" Once he began talking about it and I later went onto this site to learn once again about the symptoms, I could understand that, yes, I was NOT bulimic--only GERDic! And so, I have found this section of Health Central and look forward to learning more about this problem and finding ways to fight it and prevent it!
I didn’t know how many people suffer from Acid-reflux, I will try to help as many as I can, I’m 59 years old, 3 years ago I was suffering from Acid-reflux, I tried just about all the drugs in the market but, it didn’t help much, and the side effects were terrible, a friend of mine told me about this natural food supplement that he tried, I ordered and tried myself, it was amazing, no side effects, I didn’t have to go on a diet, I eat and drink anything any time as much as I want, and I mean anything including coffee, sodas. pizza, chocolate spicy foods (my wife is mexican),. I didn’t have to make any lifestyles changes, I don’t have to elevate my head when I sleep and it lasted for more than a year, I had to order it 2 times since for myself and 1 time for my daughter and my son, my daughter was 18 years old and 32 weeks pregnant, my son was 10, the baby is now 13 months old and my daughter and my son had forgotten about Acid-reflux, until two weeks ago my daughter ask me for the web site address because one of her friends at school have reflux, I have told many of my friend about it, try it and tell your friends too, let me know if it work for you, the web site is betasupplements.com.
