So im 30 male 170 lbs and in fairly decent shape. I eat pretty healthy and i had an upper GI procudure due ti some gastrointestinal issues (primarily just lack of hunger).
Now I've never gotten GERD once in my life for any reason. But about a week and a half after the procedure I developed pretty bad Gerd. I then went to a GI specialist who is seeing me for my hunger issues but i mentioned to him thr GERD. I stressed pretty strongly that ive never had it before even once and now all of a sudden i have it every day pretty badly eben when jsut drinking water or not eating.
He prescribed me Zantac twice a day. I feel like thats a bandage and not addressing my concern or the reason it started now after 30 years right after a GI endoscopy. ( He wasn't the Dr that performed the procedure either). So he said and mentioned nothing else about it.
Its been about a month or a month and a half of taking the Zantac..and while admittedly its alot better, its still present daily.
Does anyone have any suggestions or similar experiences? I really am not liking the idea of this being with me fir life after ONE GI endoscopy..
Any help is appreciated thanks.
