Heartburn

Re: Heartburn

I had heartburn and acid problems for a long time. At the worst times, I was in the ER, and they always just sent me home with antacids. One tried to take out my gallbladder. One thought I was making it up. One thought I was pregnant! It was ridiculous. At the end, I couldn't eat anything but pediasure for three weeks.
Then I switched docs and she suggested I get an H Pylori test for the presence of stomach ulcers. Which I did. Which I had. 2000mg of antibiotics for 2 weeks, and I haven't had heartburn since. And that was almost 4 YEARS ago. Ever since, I can eat anything I want, and I've never had heartburn since I got treated for H Pylori. So I might run that by your doc and ask about getting that blood test, its only like 15 bucks I think.
p.s. at the time, I was also drinking a LOT of coffee and sodas, which wreak havoc on your stomach. Smoking will too.

Re: Heartburn

you might want to post your menus to see if anyone can see something you aren't seeing that might be causing your heartburn. As far as your doctor is concerned, if he is right why are so many of us here and having no ill effects? My doctor talks and I see his mouth moving, but he's tall and thin and eats candy when he's coming in the door....good for him but my body doesnt work the same way his does so this is how I'm taking my health into my own hands.

My mother's oncologist is who told me about Atkins after he lost 40 pounds in a little over 3 months. I feel he is worth listening to since he's been through it and has kept the weight off for almost 5 years now.
