OMG it has been almost a year since i had heartburn this bad. i didnt have any tums with me and the heartburn was so bad i had to go to t he restroom and get sick, and it was all stomach acid. i know i didnt have anything to eat since ten but this was two oclock and i have gone longer without, plus food didnt even help it. but one of my coworkers told me to take two packets of sugar and eat the sugar straight and it worked. i still had some heartburn but not that bad.

Worriedgirl,
So sorry you had such a bad episode! That's my nightmare scenerio! Even though I've had the lap nissen surgery, I still carry Tums around, just in case! You'll have to go buy yourself a package of Smoothies! Those of us with GERD experience know all about which brand, flavor and type of antacid is the best!

I've had such severe heartburn that I could feel it in my ears. OUCH. I assume you've been to a GI doc?
Hope you're feeling better, and don't go through that right away. It'll take your esophagus a little while to recover, I'm sure, so baby it a bit.

Take care and feel better!
Denise
