Hi everyone,
I recently just joined this forum due to the comprehensive section on GERD. I'm 21 and have suffered from what I believe to be silent reflux for approx. 1.5 years. It all started with a consistent raw feeling at the bottom of my throat, which was mentioned to the doctor... this was followed up with a prescription for Omeprazole (20mg). The symptoms I suffer from now are:
Bloating, Constant Burping (swallowing, eating), a 'refluxy' feeling (e.g sipping water in the morning and it feels like I'm refluxing.), fullness under my right rib (feel like its bigger than left)... my life is starting to really be affected by it, and I'm concerned I have something more sinister going on. I don't really know what to do anymore, and with the recent research into PPI's and Liver Dysfunction I want to get off them ASAP.
Any advice would be welcomed,
Thank you guys
