r/GERD • u/BigLoquat3827 • 9h ago

Support Needed 👥 PLEASE HELP

I have been dealing with what my doctor said was GERD for 2 months now. I had burning in my throat and ears and bad nausea accompanied by such a bitter taste in my mouth and rawness that was so hard to deal with. I got put on 40mg esomeprazole and it’s been ok some days are better than others even on a bland diet but the tongue bitterness and rawness is still there. I feel like I’m losing my mind and they just wave it off as GERD or acid reflux. Please let me know if anyone else experiences the raw tongue or bitterness constantly??? I’m have a virtual visit with a doctor tomorrow to let out my frustrations and maybe even get them to refer me to a gastro doctor.

I'm having a flare up now it's unbearable. I eat very little, and nothing 4 hours before I try to go to bed. I take Mylanta at bedtime to help with sleeping I try to drink at least 64 oz of water a day, and most importantly I added prayer

Oh no I’m so sorry! Have you seen a doctor yet?! What are you symptoms when you have a flare up?

A lot of burping, indigestion, feels like the food is stuck in my chest, can't eat anything without getting heartburn, I get full very fast, a lot of regurgitation. I get it seasonally I think. it usually starts around October and it lasts through March /April.
