Dealing with GERD and Gastritis Pain

Try Gegard

To help with the gerd/gastritis, I know this sounds weird, but drink rice water! Yup! Just the water u boiled rice in. It was the only thing I could keep down when I had bad gastritis. It coats the lining of ur esophagus and stomach, provides carbs and electrolytes, and hydrates you. It's a winner!

I'm so sorry your GERD is acting up right now. The only advice I have is 1) Talk to your doctor if this is unusual. 2) Try sleeping in a recliner or propping the head of your bed up. 3) Avoid bending over. Sit down and put your ankle on the opposite knee to tie your shoes, set your dishes in the sink instead of the dishwasher. All the above advice should work so gravity helps keep the stomach acid where it should be vs. letting it come up and wreak havoc. I've suffered from GERD for over 20 years. If you've tried my suggestions before, I won't take offense. I wish you the best.

I wanted to add, it sounds like you’re going through a hard time with not feeling well while managing your work schedule. You’re doing a good job, hang in there.

Pepcid AC can cause depressive thoughts and trouble sleeping. I prefer Nexium when I’m having a bout of heartburn. For migraines, I take Sumatriptan (Imatrex). Are you taking anything for that?
