is your reflux like this

I have been having reflux for the last few months, came on suddenly.  Today I have an awful taste in my mouth too, do you get that w/reflux. I Have an appt with a GI doctor in about two weeks.

I had my bloodwork done and the doctor said my eisinophil count was high at 8, he asked me about allergies and I said yes, I do have allergies. I've been on Claritin and that has helped.  Was taking prilosec, now taking Claritin and Pepcid, but it's gotten worse.  Sometimes the drugs help, some days of no help.

  Hi...if u have allergies u may want to look at the meds u r taking and be sure they r not adding to ur issues...additives known as compounds r often times over looked as causing issues more so then the med them selves.

  Talk with ur Pharmacist about ur allergies and the meds u r on to see if there could be an issue.

   Have u also modified ur diet and lifestyle to help the meds do their work?
