Acid reflux doin me in !

[PVail]

So i was diagnosed with IBD a few months ago and guess what I havent seen or heard of the GI since , when I rang to find out results they say all of them are not back yet. So What do they do with them ?
Anyway i now have really bad acid reflux and pretty intense pain in my RLQ . Is this a normal progression of IBD ?
This is doin my head in, I thought the rest was bad enough but this is the icing on the cake. My throat is burning and it only calms down when I eat but we all know what happens when we eat, dont we ?
So im goin to try phoning my Doc for an appointment to see if he can shed some light on this as I feel like S___T.

Any advice would be much appreciated .

Milk drank in by gallon, it helps.

Nexium? I am lactose intollerant milk would do me in.
Do you have Tums there? It has alot of calcium too.

Omaprazole completely resolved my reflux.

I take somac to suppress it... I still have stupid reflux if I eat certain foods...
I could keep living pretty peacefully with reflux if everything else vanished....
But that's only a dream I shall never come to..

I agree sorts out me too

Me too...omeprazole is fab

Yep-omeprazole is a life-saver. I had to recently double my dose, so I take 40mg twice/day. Only time I get reflux is if I'm late taking it.

thats rough for you, you need some lanzaprasole / nexium your GP will give you a prescription tomo or the chemist might give u some tonight if u ask... the intense RLQ pain is not right though needs checked out.

Funny I think they put me on every thing to try and find something that helped with acid reflux..
currently taking 60 mgs of pepcid and its working

Thanks for the advice every one , doc tomorrow . Acute pain in my back for two days plus the acid and the usaal . So i guess something is happening inside . Basically if things dont improve tomorrow I m goin to hospital as I dont think I could stand another day of this. Maybe something is blocked causing the discomfort , have to waait and see.

Not meaning to hijack another person's thread, but how long does it take to work? I take omeprazole for reflux (have for just over two weeks) and it seemed to get better, but now I'm having terrible reflux again. I personally hav enot foudn any food or drink that helps it.

Ugh. I just got my acid reflux under control finally. My doc had me on protonix because it was so bad along with gastritis. Anyhow, now I'm just on aciphex. Works ok but the thing that really started to work well was making green smoothies. The alkaline properties of dark greens will help neutralize the acid and heal. I stayed away from fruits for awhile. I also ended up blending meat because every time I ate--very severe heart burn crawling up my esophagus. I find fish to really help as well.

Garlic actually killed my acid reflux but I can't try that anymore because I'm allergic. Stinks.

I'm also taking culturelle which helps too.
