Hi, I would like to know how long after eating “forbidden” food do you experience acid reflux. Is there any difference between gerd and intolerance in time leap between eating and experiencing reflux? If I eat tomato and bread for example and get heartburn 5-10 hours later - is it more probable that I got it because of gerd related reflux caused by ...

the problem is that i am on gerd diet, and abide all suggested instructions for gerd but ppi doesn’t work in my case. Not even double daily dose. and doctors suspect that I could have intolerance.

Cyclinglady, thank you for your response. I tried everything that could be connected to LES. I am very thin, sleeping on elevated bed, with 3 pillows, eating only permitted food, no alcohol... But daily dose of lansoprazol isn’t enough... it lasts only 12 hours. As I have many signs of celiac disease or intolerance to gluten, I though that t...

How long after starting gluten free diet did you need to get rid of heartburn. Today it’s my 7th day without gluten, but the heartburn stays the same. Am I too impatient or this diet isn’t right for me? How long did it take in your case? Please share with me your experience, since I don’t know what to expect. Do I need more patience or do...

Dear Cyclinglady, thank you for your help. Yes, I am trying to find out what my underlying condition is. But the doctors don’t help at all (insurance can’t be an issu since I have ful insurance). But they closed my case with the diagnosis: nonfunctional LES with constant taking of ppis for a lifetime. But ppis are making my problems even big...

Posterboy, thank you sooooo much. I can’t tell you how greatful I am for your long and detailed answer. I have many additional questions (I asked you few more additional questions in my other post about celiac and reflux) I am just trying to find my underlying condition. I am afraid I’ll have to stay with ppi for two additional months, sin...

Thank you all for your help!!! It’s a bit clearer now. I had problems with gases and bloating and reflux a year ago and doc prescribed Lansoprazol. He said my lower esophageal sphiincter doesn’ t work properly. I was taking lansoprazol 30mg for half a year with huge problems with nausea and even more bloating. Than I lowered the dose to 15 fo...

Hi, how fast after starting with gluten free diet did you notice any improvement with heartburn or reflux? I am 4th day of diet and reflux seams to be worse than earlier. So I am a bit concerned. Please, help!!! Aya

Thank you!!! I am trying to convince my doctor to make genetic test too, but he is telling me that it would make no sense, since blood test was negative. Yes, I have low iron and ferritina with no reason for years now and nobody seems to bother. I had iron low long before I started taking ppi, so can’t blame ppi for this. Best, Aya

Thank you so much for your answer. Yes, he did endoscopy last year and this year. Last year everything was fine except LES, this year it was again nonfunctional LES and esophagitis grade B. Stomach and duodenum are fine. I am not sure if he took also biopsy. I was trying to convince him to take it, but not sure if he did. I have appointment...

I am almost completely lost in my symptoms and tests. Do you think these symptoms are enougt to say that I am celiac? I have the same weight since I was 16 yo, now I am 45 and I have 47 kg - I can’t gain or lose weight. I have huge problems for last one year and half with reflux which is my primary symptom. Heartburn actually with numb t...

Tigercat17, I would appreciate if you could tell us how you are going? I am in a quite same position, desperately searching what could be the reason for my reflux. So I would love to know what was causing tour reflux and how did you solve it. Thank you, Aya
