my acid reflux has been really bad lately. doc doubled dose of protonix to 2 pills a day for two weeks. i feel like i'm choking all the time. it's aweful. food and drink have been very difficult. i'm seeing a nutritionist tomorrow cause i just don't know what to eat. in addition to ibs, now i can't have tomato, citrus, orange, lemon, chocolate, spices.... that leaves me very little to safely eat, rice, potatoe, chicken.... i'm so worried about not getting nutrients. i also read that fiber helps maintain proper acidity levels in the stomach. i've been eliminating roughage , insoluble fiber for over a year now, as told to by my doc. hmmm........... correlation to the acid reflux???????????? so, i'm gonna add a bit in each day and see what happens. i had a whole wheat tortilla last night for starters. i think it's bad not to have any fiber for so long. i have heather's book. i also eat lots of carbs first on empty stomach ,usually jmy baked potato. i'll let you all know what the nutritionist says tomorrow. i'm anxious to see. anyone have suggestions for GERD sufferers????? i'm doing all the usual, no chocolate, no citrus, no lying down for 3 hours after i eat, etc.... also , do you think swimming is good or bad for GERD, i heard mixed reviews. some say it's good others say it's bad because you're horizontal and acid can spill into esophagus. anything would help me at this point. thanks.
