Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | What a strange connection...

Hey Ruthie,
I was so surprised when I read your post...that is the strangest connection. I think you and me have some things i common, I too have chronic sinusitis and GERD, and I never thought about a possible connection for me.
My doctor just prescribed Nexxium for me, and at first I was skeptical because I don't personally have a lot of trouble with my GERD, I just stay away from trouble foods and it doesn't really both me (that I've noticed)...but OMG, if that could be causing my sinus infections...wouldn't that be something?
Anyways, I really hope it works for you, and I think I'm going to bite the bullet and try it too, I'll let you know how it works for me.
As for foods, I'm just learning my way around the kitchen, so I don't think I can suggest much, although I also have to stay away from tomatoes so I can sympathize with you there. I find some of the best things for me when it's really bothering me are just plain bread or pasta, it sometimes even soothes the GERD. Sometimes I'll put a little olive oil and garlic powder in the pasta to spice it up a little...don't know if that might help?
I really hope you feel better soon!
Take care!
Kelly
