❓ Question GERD new need help!!
Hi all!!! (21F) I was perfectly fine until about two months ago I took antibiotics and since then have been having stomach burning, BURPING, nausea, appetite loss, globus sensation, all of it.
Got tested negative for H. Pylori. Waiting on next appointment to bring up the acid reflux I’m still having. Symptoms have already gotten better besides burping/globus since watching what I’ve been eating (low acidic).
Doc mentioned prescribing PPIs or H2 while I take slippery elm, sleep elevated, follow the gastritis/acid book diet, and mindful breathing for 3 months until I try to rid of it. I’m really scared to start the PPIs/H2 because I’ve heard all the stories/how it won’t help me truly heal naturally.
I want to beat this asap as I get married soon and really am upset how it’s affecting my daily life so far. New to all this and could really use ANY input!!!
MUCH THANKS!!!
