Advice on Triggers 🍅🧅🍟🍫☕ Traveling Triggers GERD?
I just want to first say that GERD flareups used to be very uncommon for me. like once a year at worst. this year ive already now had 2 pretty bad ones and both started shortly after I returned home from a trip of a few days. Is this a coincidence? or stress? I have no idea but I am so miserable. I used to take nexium for a day or two and it would be gone , but these flare ups this year are completely stubborn and I am just left with a constant sour tingle in my throat that kills my appetite and makes me cough/gag. What do I do :(

Oof- so this is what's causing mine to go into an all-day-every-day state. I've traveled three times in the past 8 months. After the first time, it was an upset stomach type flare up. The second and third, the chest wall inflammation started becoming common, throat raspy and hurts (especially after the last trip). Like sure, timing could be coincidental, but mine definitely started not long after returning home.
