My family too dont understand me.. I have no one to talk to and then I saw your videos about gerd it gives me hope.. Congrats that your pregnant but stay strong we can fight this gerd soon..I got my motivation because of my son cause im a single parent so stay strong 🙏 and healthy
So sorry you're going through this. I can relate I've been on a liquid/ pureed diet for 3 1/2 years from these problems I had bad esophageal stricture and my doc thinks I may have a motility problem. I have lost so much weight. It is really hard but I try to stay positive. Hope you feel better I'll be praying for you ❤ congrats on your pregnancy!! So happy for you!
Liquid diet form almost 4 years?!!!?!! Have you asked about surgery? That’s no way to live. I also have gerd and it’s really bad in the mornings. For whatever reason, my gerd got really bad so I can barely eat, going on 4 days now ☹️ it sucks.
@@CFHDime I'm so sorry to hear that. Are you getting treatment for your problem? Yes, it hasn't been an easy journey. I'm currently going to the clevland clinic, I recently learned I have 80% ineffective esophageal motility. I'm currently waiting for my next appointment in 2 weeks to see what the next step is. I hope there is something they can do.
I feel really down when my symptoms are bad, I want to cry and my anxiety got high. I really feel you because I was there suffering with acid reflux. I also feel bad when I lose weight because I don’t like to be so thin. My family knows but they don’t know exactly how painful is this.
I forgot how awful this feels that i started eating anything and everything again.. I was good for 2 years but now the GERD came back with a vengeance😓 I'm shaking from the pain. It burns 😢🔥
Omg! Don’t feel bad. It still happens to me sometimes. I have been so good for months and the other day, I ate some spicy noodles with siracha sauce and I was hurting so bad! Had to take Prilosec for 7 days
Congratulations! You can get through this! It will get better once the baby's out. It's easier said than done, but you overcame GERD once- you'll be able to overcome it again! Stay strong!!
Congratulations my dear for the pregnancy. I have silent acid reflux also and it was hard for me at the beginning of the pregnancy but then it will be good again. Wish you all the best health for you and the baby.
Sorry to hear you are feeling bad from gerd. I struggle with lpr I have hiatus hernia.. have you ever been tested for Hpylori? Your symptoms sounds d similar to what it can cause. Congratulations on your pregnancy ❤️🥳🥳🥳
Hi Suzie is there any way to over come from lpr? Is it going to be life threatening?and do we need to be on medication and onn control food for life time? Doctor they don't say anything....they say die to lifestyle...I am giving up my current job which is night shift and looking for something else. I want to enjoy every moment of life. I feel that there is no life without food ... unfortunately I cannot have spicy food,and all now...
Hi Nicky ...I feel very bad for you...u were the one who inspired me while I was going through gerd symptoms...tried all medical things...lost around 10kgs...but today m alive only because of drinking GILOY (medicinal plant) fresh juice...I can eat and drink all that I love now...no gerd symptoms...🙏🙏💪
@@majorvont5473 I have no idea if it's available in USA...I would suggest if u know any Indian friend of yours kindly ask about the plant or try contacting people connected to the PATANJALI in your country...
@@NjckiTran take care of yourself and the baby....while you can Google about the benefits of the plant(GILOY...)...it's a creeper plant...try to have n plant it...use it and than u can thank me..😀...it does magic to boost immune system of our body....😘😘
Yes I experience that a lot if I eat bad. I turned to vegan. But I’m pregnant too so I eat regular food and it’s making me extremely out of breath like a gasp type of feeling. That’s “normal” when you have GERD just try to remain calm get up and walk a bit and no more junk food. I did vegan and I felt a whole lot better but I lost a ton of weight and I ate steamed chicken if I ever craved meats. It sucks but diet is key to this gane
I had Gerd when I was pregnant. It was hard. But you have to be extra careful as far as diet is concerned. No giving in to your cravings in pregnancy. I know it’s difficult but you have to gather courage for your health.
Hey, congrats on your pregnancy! You serve as an inspiration for me I am so sorry you’re going through this. I was wondering if your GERD symptoms would flare up when you workout? Best wishes! Xoxoxo
I feel you my friend your not alone, always keep on praying and stay healthy, avoid all food not good for us, because im also having a GERD, sleep early and take medicine I pray for you, just don't panicking when you have a GERD attacks relaxed deep breath, take care and godbless.
Have you tested for h pylori??? I have never been acidic and never had heartburn in my life then suddenly i got sour pslate last July then had dinner at a buffet at end of July then got diarrhea and all of a sudden i experienced heartburn. I tested positive for h pylori and had antibiotics plus natural supplements. Thank GOD it worked but it took 2 months to feel "normal" again. Maybe you can try Wakamoto or other probiotics. Apple Cider Vinegar helped too..i take it before meals
@@NjckiTran what test did u take? my initial stool test was negative. But i had endscopy test and blood test which both were positive. The stool test was negative maybe bec the sample i gave was the end part of my stool. The sample should be the middle part. Testing for it is kinda tricky. U need multiple test to really verify if you are indeed positive or negative
I have this problem I been having GERD since 2012 but as the years went by it’s gotten worst and I also can’t eat, also losing weight , also struggling this bad . I need a solución cause I can’t take this any longer I live on TUMS , ginger tea and tums I’ve had enough 😒🤦🏻♀️🥺
I've been getting heartburn recently and I've never had it so I've been trying to get into habit of taking omeprazole every day and having to take tums everywhere with me if I'm not at home. However the other day was probably the worst heartburn I have ever experienced. I don't know what I ate but it made my heartburn react really bad and had to take a lot of tums that day.
Have you tried writing down everything you eat in a day? It could help determine what’s causing your heartburn so you can stay away in the future. It helped me a lot
hey have you ever tryed fasting ? i have acid reflux myself but i eat everything i want ! I have followed some islamic principles and drinking warm water with manuka honey and every day once a week i fast the whole day ! i have been done that for 1 month and now i don't even know if i have if anymore ! P.S stop eating sugars and bread and enjoy your life !
@@jorgebravo8290 i used to have that too in the begin then i stopped eating bread and i always make food with 3 essential things: salt olive oil and citron because they contain sodium potasium and hcl usefull for your stomach acid after you get used to them fasting worked for me after i let him get used to it ! now i take the pil once on 3 months or something ! Also honey with warm water kills bacteria drinken in the morning on an empy stomach and aloe vera drinks should be your best friends ! if you are somehow older try betaine hcl because the older you get the lower acid you have and that can cause gerd aswel !
@@Shahruh97 I use raw honey room temperature water n aloe vera mixed it together n drink it n yes it works most of the time but good looking out in the info n another thing maybe cause I'm very impatient n hate feeling the symptoms
You can eat everything?! You are lucky!! And yes, I tried to fast before but it really makes it worse and I get low blood glucose which makes me dizzy......
@@NjckiTran yep sweet basilicum left in water 1 hour and black seeds did it for me it might not work for everybody but why not keep fighting ? by the way i respect you a lot and you are one of the strongest women i saw keep it up ! god bless you !
I take mine daily after food and it’s ok. People with gerd can’t take vitamin C, it’s too acidic. I have taken vitamin C that is “non acidic” before and it still gave me some symptoms.....unfortunately
Hang in there I’m sure the pregnancy it’s what’s causing you the nausea feeling and even the smell of foods makes you sick I had awfull nausea morning sickenss up until my 7 month then I’d throw up everyday from two of my pregnancies. But my first pregnancy and second went well only had morning sickness. Hope you feel better.
Njcki Tran I’m sure you will be better after your first trimester is over most women do I was just that un lucky one lol all my sisters were fine after their first trimester some of them were lucky to not even have any symptoms at all we are all different hope you fell better
Hi can someone please help me, I’ve had GERD since October and this path month it’s just awful! I’ve tried medicine and diet change, food journaling and even waiting hours before after eating to slowly sip water. It seems like it gets worse in the evenings and just a tiny bit of water causes acid reflux, if I eat I have burning but if I don’t eat I have burning. Does anyone have any advice for me?
Hey sky girl! Have you seen a doctor for this? I would try to eat bland food and keep a food diary to see what works. It will not work right away and you have to be patient but don’t give up. There has to be a food that works for you. Also taking the right medication when needed will help too. I hope you find a good doctor that can help you fight this disease or at least improve its symptoms

Definitely anxiety and I would also feel dizzy, weak and always tired

@@lizlaksh8579 hello liz, may I ask you. how do you use it? did you drink it every day? could you explain? thank you so much :)
Quick question... My doctors think I have GERD but, do you experience shortness of breathe or chest pains?
Yes I experience that a lot if I eat bad. I turned to vegan. But I’m pregnant too so I eat regular food and it’s making me extremely out of breath like a gasp type of feeling. That’s “normal” when you have GERD just try to remain calm get up and walk a bit and no more junk food.

Same acid reflux can make it hard to breathe
I've been feeling what you're feeling for the past one year and I'm not even pregnant. I'm so frustrated cuz I've done everything possible.
I had Gerd when I was pregnant. It was hard. But you have to be extra careful as far as diet is concerned. No giving in to your cravings in pregnancy. I know it’s difficult but you have to gather courage for your health.

Lorena Teixeira I sometimes get symptoms after I drink a lot of water after a workout but usually I don’t notice anything worse. I hope this helps

have you tried few slices of cucumber? it isalkaline and has helped ease gerd pain for me
I love cucumber! I don’t remember if it ever ease my symptoms but it doesn’t irritate my stomach or make it worse so it stay on my safe to eat list :)
I pray you feel better 💖
