Increased Reflux after eating small frequent meals

[headtrap20]

Hi,
I am having LPR reflux for 4 years. My symptoms are lump in throat, chronic coughing and stomach ache. After trying out many foods and trying to rely doctor advices i realized that my symptoms are getting worse instead of relieving. Medications didnt not work. After months of experimentation, i realised that my symptoms are getting worser by eating frequently. Also, it doesn't matter what type of food i eat, small amounts, even water, when taken too often in a day instead of one time, regardless of the amount, worsens my symptoms. If i only eat one portion, my symptoms relieve significantly. The bad part is that i am starving. Can you give me any suggestions about these symptoms?

Hi .....once every 3 days is not good 4 u and the older u get it is adding the amount of toxins stored in ur body.

Do see a dr regarding this. There most likely is a reason for ur elimination issues.

Hi.
Yes it looks okay but I don't eliminate daily, i do it once in 3 days. I had chronic constipation since childhood because i was drinking lots of milk. I don't understand what has changed.

  Hi...do u eliminate solid waste daily? Is it of the right size/amount?

Many do not realize how having small or infrequent eliminations affects GERD and bloating.

Thanks.
I have tried the probotics and i felt some temporary relievement but later on the LPR symptoms came back. Probiotics is helpful for digestion and i have lactose intolerance and it is good for that. Actually, i dont want to digest milk because when i drink milk it stays in my gut and prevents reflux attacks to some degree. Biggest relievement for me is staying hungry for several hours, it is weird isn't it? I also have to mention that during reflux attacks i have some pain on the left side of my belly and at that location i can see a slight crack and also i have some pain in the left side of my waist. I don't have pain in esophagus or heartburn. I don't know if these symptoms are just caused by reflux or some bowel disease is involved. Any ideas?  

i will go to doctor very soon. :)

  Hi did u have a PH test to be sure u still have this issue? Too little acid will give the same symptoms and the meds will make u feel worse.....

I agree about probiotics,but talk 2 ur dr first.

Also make sure u have ruled netting else out.

Good luck

I've been having the same problem with gerd and the lump in my throat feeling after taking several medication for the gerd the only thing tha seems to relieve my symptoms is taking probotics which you can get from any health food store.
