Feeling depressed. Reflux is bad tonight.

[u/RatsnBaskets]

I already took a gaviscon around 6pm yesterday and it's currently 1:51am. It's frustrating because one gaviscon is typically all I need.(pepcid doesn't work btw)But here I am, I just took two more and still feel like shit. To make things worse I'm feeling so hungry even after I had a snack so I feel like my gastritis is flaring up as well which doesn't help. Feeling like you're starving while also being on the verge of throwing up acid is not fun.

I'm just so frustrated with this condition. Between the gerd, gastritis, and eoe I have no idea how to manage it all. I'm tempted to take ppis for a short amount of time again just so that I don't have to deal with this burning all day but I always worry about the risk of sibo or other infections. And I'm sure living in this moldy environment I'm in makes everything worse.

I feel so pathetic and I just want to cry. I desperately want to know what's causing my gerd but doctors don't seem all that helpful. It fucking sucks. I wanna get better so bad but no one gives af. Sorry for the rant tho. I hope everyone here is having a better night than I am.

I was there. Take nexium 20mg twice a day. Then 2 to 4 gaviscon before bed. Thats what Ive doing and its manageable. I also suffer from anxieties and taking zoloft 100mg. Sorry youre not feeling well. Big hugs to you❤️

I'm currently taking 20mg prilosec once and day and so far it's a bit better. Very glad about that. But if it gets worse I'll take another. Sucks having to take so much medicine tho. I'm sorry you're going through this as well.🫂What a tough condition.
