This is driving me crazy!! I asked my doctor about reflux, and she told me to take Zantac 75 and that I was probably having the problem because of birth control pills!! I am so annoyed I have a mind to freeze my eggs and get my tubes tied!!! I am seriously considering going off the pill, this is ridiculous. I knew that the pill probly had something to do with this, and now I'm wondering if my most troubling symptoms are due to reflux, not IBS...but are bloating and cramping part of GERD? Probly not, huh? And I'm worried about the Zantac, is it habit forming or anything like that? Has anyone tried herbal remedies for this problem? I read about deglycyrrhizinated licorice and papaya tablets...
I cannot figure out what is going on with my body right now...my anxiety is really bad, which is probably the culprit, but I feel so confused about my symptoms. I always feel some sort of discomfort after I eat, and I am just frustrated  Does this mean I should go back to the restricted diet for awhile? That scares me, since I'm supposed to be gaining weight...  Sorry if I'm being melodramatic and for the long post. Any advice or comments would be much appreciated!!
