Q: How long does the nausea/sour stomach last with acid reflux?
The Dr told me I had heartburn with nausea. She prescribed me Zantac. It’s been 4 days, my nausea is still present, though better. Should I be taking mylanta more often? Or between meals? How long does it take before I feel myself? At what point do I say this isn’t working?

A: If it’s been 4 days already, I would only wait another 1-2 days to see if the nausea subsides. It will last until the acid is under control for a few days and any damage that it has done the the stomach lining has healed (unless you have an ulcer, like me. In that case it can come and go until the ulcer has healed, which can take years to never!)

Have you tried taking a motion sickness tablet? If it doesn’t put you to sleep, that is. That’s what I take when I get nausea from my ulcer acting up. It works for me, but I only take it before I’m going to bed…it seems to help into the next day too.

Q: What to do for a sour stomach?
My husband has had a sour stomach for about 2 weeks off and on. He has a lot of stomach problems (acid reflux and ulcers) and has had a sour stomach before. But after treatment it usually goes away. He has vomiting, diarrhea and belching. It’s the most god awful smell. Like rotton eggs or something. We don’t currently have insurance so it’s not feasible to go to the Dr. unless we go to the ER. and that will cost a fortune. He is also lactose intalerant and thinks, that might be what is causing it. He has never had this bad of a reaction to dairy before.
He has tried acid reducers and the baking soda trick. He has had problems with ulcers since he was 2 and has had 2 surgeries for them, one when he was 2 and the other when he was 18. He know that he is supposed to take his lactose pills but he didn’t this time. I think he has learned his lesson. I am needing to know what to do with him now that what’s done is done. He is in sever pain , intermitently.

A: I would definitely cut out dairy first and see if that helps. I’ve known people whose lactose intolerance suddenly got much worse as adults, so it could definitely be that. If that doesn’t do it, start with an acid reducer pill like Pepcid. I would assume that he’s already tried that, though, if he’s had treatment for ulcers and acid reflux before. If the pills aren’t working, try mixing a teaspoon of baking soda with about 4 ounces of water and drinking it. Sometimes that helps me when the pills don’t (I have an ulcer and acid reflux also).

Definitely start with the dairy. Good luck and feel better!

Q: Are faint hunger pangs a sign of acid reflux/general stomach acid problems?
For about 2 weeks now I’ve been having something odd happen, I get hungry, eat and shortly after feeling full I get these hunger pangs, and during these hunger pangs i feel all gassy, like I have to burp and then not being able to, like a muffled burp that comes out as a hiccup. Or it feels like a sour liquid briefly runs up my throat, then back down.
It feels like hunger, but at the same time it feels like nausea. I figured at first maybe i was still hungry, but even after trying to overeat to sea if it goes away, it eventually comes back, and tends to fade the longer I go without eating. It only happens after i eat. Is this some sort of acid problem?
There’s no real pain, but it doesn’t feel like ordinary hunger.
If i keep eating, then i start to feel sick to my stomach WHILE feeling the hunger pangs, which is just nauseating
This isn’t a major issue, it’s just kind of a nuisance to go out to dinner, only to walk out of the restaurant with very faint hunger pangs that takes an hour to go away.

A: It sounds like indigestion sort of…well the sour part up and down your throat. It could also just be gas moving around.

Q: Can anyone help me determine why I’ve had stomach problems for the past 5 years
I have had stomach problems for 5 years now. These will very often prevent me from being able to go out anywhere. It ranges from sudden nausea to a gas bubble feeling to sour stomach and acid reflux. I also, for the past month have had semi-consistant diarhea. My doctor keeps saying its probably just stress, but I don’t believe that. We have ruled out galstones. please help. All I can think of is a super resiliant bug, stomach cancer, ulcers, or an alien incubating in my stomach.

A: Hi, so sorry to hear this, my mom is suffering from this too, she cant go anywhere with out worry of accidents. I got her some probiotics, and hope they get her back on track. I have attached a link for you to read about them. They are what is in yogurt, and is really needed to put good bacterias back in a persons gut. GOOD LUCK

So I keep getting a feeling like im gonna hurl, then I get hiccups where throwup comes up and goes back down, then my stomach rumbles like gasy bubbles or something and when they ‘pop’ its sharp pains.

P.S. I’m not pregnant to whoever commented that, I’m 14 and I’m still a virgin.. lol

A: Hey hun,
sure sounds like it’s not good. You need to get a scope done. It doesnt hurt. I am 14 and just had it done! The “pop” is the acid in your stomach.

Q: Do i have acid reflux disease?
ok, the the past few days, ive been getting sick after eating, so i start to look into it, and i see that i have other symptoms(no in the two day period but more of a constant thing)(sour stomach indigestion minor heart burn(only last a few minutes)) so im not sure if its acid reflux or have i just been getting sick cause of stress or nerves or something?

A: There are tests your doctor can do however if you are under 35 its unlikely acid reflux. Here’s a good way to check if you eat say dinner and have a soda with it go lay down right after wards. If you start to get heartburn stand up and walk around and drink a little water. If it goes away then chances are you do have acid-reflux go to your doctor he will put you on some meds.

Q: Acid Reflux if i miss a dose?
Prilosec Problem 3 more pills?
I am In Poland I Dont Know What To Do
I Forgot To Get An RX From My Doctor In American
If I Miss A Dose, Acid Lining Is Insane and i Feel Dizzy and Sour Stomach

A: they have an generic prilosec its called omeprazole 20mg and those people out there that cant get there nexium because it cost to much get this generic medicine and 2 pilles will equal 20 mg of nexium its alot less or just get the prilosec 20mg take 2 pills will again equal 20mg of nexium and etc….. prilosec is otc in america order some from a internet site and or get some pepto-bismol.

Q: Day 20 stomach problems, if i go to hospital..?
Hunger pains 24/7 even when I eat, bloating so bad I can’t sit because it bothers my breathing, acid reflux, throat irritation, a sour acidic stomach, constipation..

I keep going back to the doctors, and its like a 2 week wait between each specialist and nothings getting done.

If I go to the hospital, will they be able to do anything for me there? Like ultrasound, or endoscope, or anything of use?

A: I suggest you increase your water intake, water can help prevent various stomach problems. In the hospital, exams include an abdominal X-ray that looks for obstructions in the stomach area and an upper gastrointestinal series, or UGI, which looks at the entire small intestine.

Q: SOUR nauseas stomach…zantac?
so i have been gettin a “sour” nauseas stomach,no heart burn,just nausea and indigestion….is prolosac,or zantac good for this? is this gerd or acid reflux?

A: Seriously consider trying Prilosec…it does work well for any GERD sufferers…I found that Zantac really isn’t worth the $$ spent, & did nothing for me…You may be pleasantly surprised at the relief PRILOSEC offers..try it…I did! I hope you feel better soon!

Q: Every time I eat I have a sour stomach and I have no energy.?
I think I have an ulcer. Every time I eat my stomach It burns Don’t think it’s acid reflux, because it doesn’t go up to my throat. Does anyone know any home remedies? I know one but I’m just wondering if people will confirm what I know. So I don’t want to give it away right now. Just to know if it actually works. I think I destoryed my stomach by drinking too much pop. I have to drink pepsi all day or I feel like a zombie. I’ve had my thyroid check and my blood checked. Does anyone else know an energy booster besides cocaine or Caffefine? Ha, ha. 5 hour energy DOESN’T work.

A: go to ask dr oz..http://www.doctoroz.com/

Q: has anyone ever heard of this?
i have this condition where i am constantly burping to relieve pressure built up in my stomach. its always accompanied by acid reflux or sour stomach. and when i say constantly burping that is what i mean. has any one heard of this or experienced it. its been going on for a little over two years now. its not heart burn or bad indegestion. ive been to the doctor for both and they gave me something called nexium to help releive it. any thoughts of rememdy’s that any of you out there with experience with this can help me with? thanks
My wife told me it might have something to do wiht a stomach fungus called H. pylori (dont know the spelling) and that its a fungus that usually resides in the stomach that is only cured by strong atibiotics. but ive never heard of this. i have heard of gerd though. has any one else head of GERD?

A: Lactose intolerance will generally produce constant belching, burping, gassiness, bloating and indigestion and wet f*arting (sorry, no other way to say it)……… before i realised that i was lactose intolerant i used to have a horrible time with the belching and acid reflux coming back up my throat, particularly when i laid flat on the bed to go to sleep at night. Simply put, you need to eliminate all lactose containing foods and ingredients from your diet for a week and see if this improves your condition……. please ensure that you increase your intake of calcium rich foods to maintain healthy bones, teeth, digestion and neural functioning though. ie: leafy and green vegies, salmon, sardines, peanuts, walnuts and sunflower seeds. also ensure that you are getting enough vitamin D on a daily basis ie: tuna, salmon or just plain old sunshine, as calcium needs sufficient supplies of vitamin D in the body to be properly assimilated (absorbed).

in the meantime, go get yourself a bottle of organic apple cider vinegar …… Bragg’s is an excellent brand. when you get an attack such as the one you mention simply put two tablespoons full of ACV (don’t get the commercial brands – only organic will do- as they have had so much goodness taken out of them they’re really only usefull for cleaning the floors!!) into a glass of warm water and sip from a straw. Have 2 glasses if you need to. The apple cider vinegar will realkalise the contents of your tummy and eliminate the ghastly belching and burping urges and any acid reflux you may have.

good health to you♥

Q: Yellow diarrhea, vomiting and acid reflux? Can anyone give me a quick diagnosise?
I’ve been sick for 5 days, and I can’t see a doctor…bc I don’t have healthcare at the moment and it’s too expensive.

Day 1: Feeling dizzy, weak, left work early. Had normal looking Diarrhea, almost threw up.

Day 2: Ate a hotdog, vomited it several hours later. Diarrhea was liquid. Ate crackers..only thing I could eat. Tried Kaopectate; not sure if it did anything. Trouble sleeping kept running to bathroom all night, weird nightmares

Day 3: Ate a bowl of noodle soup, stomach felt better. No more throwing up. But had yellowish brown diarrhea. Able to digest food now but stool is abnormal. Still, up almost all night

Day 4: Ate some sweet n’ sour chicken(I figured it was light enough) and kept it down. Nausiea feeling never comes back but stool is soft loose yellow mostly diarrhea. Seems as if half of it is stomach acids. Slept normally
Day 5: Today, haven’t eaten anything yet but very hungry=as I lay in my bed my stomach makes weird noises. I pushed down on it and I hear
gassy noises.

I’ve definitely improved from being curled up in a fetal position on my couch or bed-to now just having yellowish brown diarrhea stool..

I still am out of work and I’m confined to my house.

I wonder if peptobismol will do anything?
Another thing… could I eat fiber? I really miss my morning bowl of raisin bran. Not a big fan of noodle soup, tea and toast

A: there is a reason the body has diarrhea. it helps rid the body of what is toxic to it. immodium and pepto help stop diarrhea but then the substance your body is getting rid of stays. your urine is yellow because you are dehydrated. drink a lot of water or gatorade to replenish your system. this may take several days. diarrhea dehydrates the body very quickly.the best advice is to try to keep your diet simple. broth, jello, lots of clear liquids. add saltine and club crackers because they act as a binder in the colon and will mae your poop less runny. if your poop doesn’t start to harden back up in 3 to 4 days, start taking immodium. just get the over the counter brand and follow the directions. but be careful to stop before you’re completely well as it may cause constipation. the noises in your stomach are air. as your system evacuated the nasty thing making it sick, it filled with air. nothing to worry about unless your in public alot and worried about the farting. this is virus season as i’m sure you already know, a virus has to just run it’s course. nothing you can do about it. takes about 10 days. if you start to run a fever and it gets above 101.5, take tylenol 500mg every 4 hours and ibuprofen 400 mg every 6 hors. you’ll be fine in time.

Q: Why would everything I eat taste sour?
Are there any conditions that would make everything sour? Anything common or really serious?
Even water and spoons taste sour. I dont have any particular illnesses but I may have acid reflux (there’s serious stomach pain, acidic fluid coming up to the throat and half-burping whenever I dont eat for a period of time.) Would acid reflux cause this (when i dont have acid in my mouth)?
thx.

A: Sounds plausible, I have GERD along with some more stomach problems and when untreated stuff does taste different. Make sure you see a doctor about your acid reflux because if it is left untreated it can cause diseases like Barrett’s esophagus and esophagus cancer

Q: No Hlth Ins: Am I Pregnant, Acid Reflux, Ulcers, WTF??
I’ve been sick for more than a week. My whole body aches, especially my stomach right beneath the rib cage.
I’ve vomited everyday but 2 days– it’s always watery, yellow and sour flavored.
I havent’ been able to stomach food, just soup, crackers & water.
I feel like putting pressure on my stomach, like a pillow on top, sort of aleaviates the pain, but not really.

I cannot afford to go to ER or hospital or whatever.

If anyone has any opinions or knowledge of either of these possibilities PLEASE HELP ME.

I am in constant nauseuous pain and I don’t know what to spend my $ on: preg.test? alkaseltzer or the like? or what?

Help? Am I Pregnant? Do I have Acid Reflux? Or Ulcers?
Thanks.

A: Aren’t there free clinics that people can go to? Why don’t you try to locate something like that in your area?
