That was how I found I had GERDS was with the acid coming right up......horrible! After using pepcid for awhile, I went for endoscopy (same as gastrophy) and they diagnosed GERDS.

Actually I can get away w/some.....chocolate .....as long as I'm doing well w/IBS! I stary away from perrermint, citrus, actually almost all fruits and NO FRUIT JUICE as has so much fructose. Now I wonder if fructose is another intolerance!!!???

I can get away w/some tomato & lettuce on sandwich, esp. lettuce. BUT...NOTHING SPICY!!!!!!!!!!

I stay away from soy as made fr. beans which I can't tolerate AT ALL......GAS and sends me right to JOHN!!! Love rice milk tho and so happy I found that. All I drink besides that is hot or cold tea.......no lemon or artificial sweeteners.

If IBS is good, I eat some ice cream or pudding w/reg. milk but take a Lactose tablet!!!!!!!!!!

FINALLY got presc. fr. GI yest. for Librax 3/x day!!!!!! I used to take it 4/x and did good and then the Prevacid for the GERDS also seemed to help more. I actually DID get away w/drinking a bit of orange juice in FL last winter. Had it 1 or 2x.

I KNOW it's just sooooooooo hard, but find the better IBS is the more no no Gerds food I can tolerate. Do you find it to be the same?????
