Hi,
Just looking for some support here. I have had GERD since 2005 and have been ok. I took a turn for the worse this year when I started having bronchiospasms and asthma attacks and repeated lung infections. I have been on constant antibiotics because of this. I admit I was eating and drinking all the prohibited GERD foods (grease, coffee, pizza, soda etc.) My anxiety is real bad from all this and got me down. I am considering surgery as well and have an appt at the VA for a Stretta consult. Anyone having the same experience? Thanks and prayers.

I don't believe in the "prohibited" foods list. Keep a food journal and find your own food triggers. When you get a list of foods that bother you, look them up online with "food allergies."

I am fine with coffee, tomato sauce, etc, but don't tolerate gelatin, maple syrup, corn starch, molasses, pork, and more. Pizza (unless it's home made crust) and sodas can be a problem.

Finding your food triggers isn't going to cure your infections and asthma, but it can stop some of the stomach heaving.

Don't demand a specific procedure if you need surgery. Get whatever is right for your condition. If you have a large hernia, that needs a different surgery.

Thanks, I will keep that in mind. If I can make some modifications I think I can mitigate some.ofnthis aspiration. I will look at a procedure that fits me. I didn't think of that. Thank you
