Gerd & Gluten Sensitivity

Hello! I have been diagnosed with GERD and have been on acid reducer pills (prilosec, etc) for a year now. When the reflux first occured I thought I was choking and was rushed the hospital, for a few months it was very hard to get stuff down. I was not on a stirct gluten-free diet, but I was on what i thought was a wheat free diet for many years. i would go out for sushi and not realise the soy sauce had wheat in it, eat wheat free cookies that had barley in them, etc. Now I am careful and make sure everything I eat is gluten-free/raw/home made. I am still on acid reducers though and it is so frustrating to dependent on them! ! I feel like my body has become dependent on them even though i feel a alot better in general . Does anyone have experience with this? Do you know any good ways to slowely get off of them? Are there any foods, diets, supplements? I dont want to be on them forever and conidering i'm in my early 20's that would be a long time! I fasted a few weeks ago and I went off of them for three days, yet then felt that lump in my throat and sore stomach and had to take them again. I am also not expecting to be off of them tommarow, it would just be nice to not be dependent on them. Send me a note if you have any insights. . . thanks!

I also have gerd and that is the way that i got diagnosed with celiac. Once I went totally gluten free I was able to stop taking prevacid. There are times that I have reflux but most of the time it is because I have acidentally eaten something I shouldn't have. Try to really watch what you eat and make sure that all of your medicines are gluten free.

      Thank you ! Good to know I am not alone. I am currently on metformin and rybelsus for my diabetes. The last week or so my sugar has been so uncontrolled, more so than before. I am very frustrated and discouraged by all this. I have had days of 317 to a low of 64. I feel terrible. I am getting back on the gluten free wagon, just taking some time, and not seeing results and relief as fast as I had hoped. My stomach is just a mess, sometimes worse than others

      Thought was finished with this but a friend just sent email saying she takes Tirosin liquid levothyroxine which has no fillers (mentioned by Pgetha above).  Friend's doc sends script to one of Tirosin's direct-mail pharmacies.  Looking that up, government insurance (Medicare/Medicaid) doesn't cover (as Pgetha wrote above).  But if use one of their direct-mail places three month supply is $57/month.  Researching that, happened to learn Yaral also makes a generic gluten-free levothyroxine.

      Lysine is helpful for "cold sores" (oral herpes).
