Chronic Heartburn Causes
Heartburn questions- personal experience? Dr’s Office experience?
I have Chronic Heartburn. I have had it for years and know what foods to avoid. I have been taking Zantac 150′s like candy (sometimes 4 or 5 a day) and recently was put back on Nexium. I am concerned that Heartburn Is what caused my tonsils to become cryptic. I had to have them removed earlier this year. I have had several episodes where my Dr has told me that my throat appears to have been burned, yet she has never ordered an EGD or any other tests. I now have developed a wheeze and seem to be very prone to pneumonia the past few years, where I never was before- I have had it once a year for the past three years. I am only 27. Could this all be related? It seems pretty scary to think I could have avoided all of this if she would have only taken me seriously years ago…
I am making an appointment with a GI Dr to discuss these problems but I was just curious if anyone else has dealt with similar issues.
My heartburn goes away when I drink Kefir. It’s a cultured milk. The grocery store like Giant or Whole Foods Market sells this. I like the plain whole milk kefir. Drink about 5 ounces with each meal. The enzymes and good bacteria in the Kefir will help with digestion.
