Acid Reflux

I just wanted to share with you. I have been reading some of the posts and notice quite a few of you with GERD. I was diagnose quite a few years back. I went though all the different RX's , nothing helped. My DR suggested a Nissan Fondopulation surgery where they tie your stomach around your asphages. Since none of RX's where working and I had such nausea I thought I would take his advice. Wrong thing to do!!!!! I don't have the acid reflux anymore but when your sick and have to throw -up you can't. You will still go though the motions of throwing -up and believe me it's worse on your head. So PLEASE if a DR. suggests this to you don't do it!!!
Gail

HI Gail...U r so right the nissan procedure can cause more problems than what it may solve.
And it is very important to modify diet and lifestyle to aid the meds in helping.

Plus, not all meds work for everyone....PPI's stopped working for me.......so I use H2 inhibitors....and I watch my diet...I can feel when I must stay away from the foods I know will trigger my reflux. And it is possible to go yrs with out needing meds.

We do have a forum here on MH for GERD and the Health Pages has helpful lists of foods to avoid.

FYI- the meds and drugs we take for this condition ( chiari) can aggravate the reflux.
