I was diagnosed with Acid Reflux a few years back and have been put on medication after medication. The last year or so anytime I eat anything I get sick. Nausia, diahhria and even horrible cramps. Even something as simple as toast makes me sick. The doctor keeps giving me prescriptions for acid reflux, but I think its more than that. He refuses to refer me to a specialist so I'm left with questions but no answers. It gets so bad that I can't leave the bathroom. Lately, I've been living on Gatoraide and popcicles because everything else makes me sick.

Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this and how to fix it?
 
Hi Hunnypie:

If your doctor refuses to send you to a specialist, maybe it is time to find a new primary care doctor who will listen to you.

The symptoms you describe can be caused by other factors, such as irritable bowel syndrome, glutten intolerance, etc. PPI's can cause GI symptoms in some people.

Maybe you need a new primary care doctor.

I totally understand how you are feeling and I feel for you. I am miserable right now with my acid reflux. It is starting to act up again. I was up most of the night with stabbing pains in my stomach. I also have IBS so I have to head to the bathroom too. All I had in the evening was a ham sandwich and some carrots. I can't figure out what triggered the reflux. I am afraid to eat today. I had Tums all night and will go back on the reflux meRAB again for awhile. I hope you can get further testing if you want it but don't be alarmed at how this reflux works. It is painful and hard to find things to eat. We are limited. Good luck hun.
