gerd with no mood and depression

HI friend .i also suffer from a bad GERD with simptoms like bloating nausea after eating no mood depression .i also lift weight for 3 years now and i think the main cause gerd started is body building.

the only food i can tolerate is goat yoghurt some fish with steamed vegetables and that's about it.as for suplements DGL is good and some calcium and magnesium lactate with some b6.

i made a endoscopy and the doctor prescribed me protonix with sucralfate and claritromicine(antibiotic for H.P.) but it didn't help at all.
my quality of life is verry bad i almost cannot eat anything....

my biggest problem and i want to ask you is what food should i eat.what do u eat in how much quantity???everybody says eat small meals but they don't give some examples.for example if i eat 250 gr of yoghurt i get gerd and if i eat 150 gr yoghurt is ok.

also do bodybuilding makes gerd worse??what should i do??is there anybody who trains with weights that can tell me what exercises should i do ??maybe not all exercises are good if u have gerd....

what combination of food should i try...my gerd gets really bad when i ingest protein meals(meat eggs etc).after a protein meal i feel verry bad nausea bloating and depression....

i hope the doctors hurry up with a treatment because gerd is messing my life real good...

TKS SO MUCH for the good advices.yes i did made a endoscopy and the dr said i have gerd but not said anything about hiatal hernia.

i feel so bad as we speak also i am a type that gain fat verry easy so aprox all my life a staied lean because i followed a diet.now because i cannot eat protein because i feel so sick i must survive by eating various carbs(brown rice lentils yoghurt some vegetables)and because i train i must get the calories and in the last year i gained verry much fat.i am so deperate someone adviced me to stop training for 3 months and follow a gerd diet but i am afraid not to gain fat (i hate to be fat).....

also i have trouble with sleep sometimes in the night i wake up and can't breath...i read that it's adviceble not eat and drink 3 hours before bedtime.also i must say water makes me gerd.i do not know if it's hipochlorhidrya or too much acid...the dr didn't said anything about hipochlorhidrya but i said to him whenever i try to eat meat or eggs i feel bad with nausea.he said just to avoid the list u all know(peppermint chocolate ec)
methyl b12 helped me with sleep but i feel drowsy from it next day.

i thought i had low cortisol levels but i don't think that is it...

also my phenotype is skynny fat ectomorph with A2 blood type(i read the type A diet) pointless...

i tried various natural remedies but didn't work...maybe here i will lealn some other home remedies or suplements that helped you...

the way i fell is IT"S NOT FAIR WHAT IS HAPPENING TO US!!!!
tks so much!!

Good Morning,

Sometimes you can buy used copies of these books through Amazon.com or perhaps order them through your library.

I have not read either.

Welcome to HealingWell,

i feel for u as i have gerd/lpr and about 2 years ago it got bad. i was only eating rice bananas oatmeal. i then was so thin. I opted for the surgery on 8/31/2010. since then the surgeon told me i could run lift weights etc. my problem is i have depression too and dont feel like doing much of anything. i thought by now id be feeling better but no the symptoms are the same. now i have ate chocolate, had margaritas and even had pizza. i dont get heartburn just bad throat clearing and globus. it feels like im always gagging. maybe try another med like aciphex or take 1 in am and 1 in pm. if that controls it then id workout or do whatever. i was working out until feb 10. now i run the treadmill. it doesnt help or improve symptoms. my friend also had a fundo and a year later he had it redone but this time there was surgeon and a chest surgeon. this was much tougher that the lap method. i had the lap but i wonder how well they can really see in there. some surgeons will only do the open method for this reason so they can see everything. another mistake i made was going to a good surgeon, but he had little experience with wraps. I chose him over a more skilled surgeon because i became angry when they called me a baby and said a lap fundo is an outpatient procedure that i would be recovered in 1 week. long story short there are no easy answers. get a second and third opinion if needed. ask how your les works and if there are other options. Baclofen is being used by some with good results and some report reglan helps a lot too..but that is a drug with lots of bad side effects so most docs only keep u on it for 3 months max. i was put on it after surgery for a couple months and it helped a little but not as much as i hoped for. find a good dr. and ask questions. my experience with gi docs is they do not take gerd serious and many do not keep up on new procedure. i saw 3 ents all saying i had 1 lpr but the first 2 never ordered tests and just said carry on. the third one said i needed surgery. I consulted 4 surgeons. 2 said i needed surgery 2 said they did not know what lpr was and despite barium swalloew, 24 hr probe and all the other tests showing gerd they questioned the tests. one even doubted i had a hernia which i did have and was fixed during surgery. again, sorry for being long but get lots of opinions and if your les is wide open like mine surgery can fix it but may not either. it is tough treating this condition

TKS Droper....

the only weird thing i'm stuck with is why i cannot digest protein.for example if i eat a goat yoghurt in 20 minutes(sip every 2 3 minutes) it's ok also calcium lactate and magnesium lactate it's good on me...and if i eat some chicken with some vegetables it's hell(i get hypoglicemia and reflux bloating and burps with taste like meat..you know for a body builder meat comes first as a protein necessary....all whey protein shakes gives me real bad reflux.also i thing i have GERD with hypochlorhydria but Betaine Hcl gived me reflux it is verry weird..

but i think u are right droper..maybe if u can give me some smoothies examples or some good recipies of puree i mean i do not understand how do u make puree out of beans because u said the skyn is hurting u...that's the same think is happening to me....what other foods do u make them puree...give me some of you're meal examples pls.....
also i feel i must say this..i sympathized with all of you out there who are suffering from this terrible 21st century illness!!
TKS VERRY MUCH!!!

How old are you?

If you being doing body building for a while and are maybe older you could have low stomach acid...

They have the same symptons as the overproducing acid...look it up...
Maybe you need digestive enzymes or HCL...Consult with your dr and research before you take anything....

Maybe the protein is sitting in your stomach for a while....fyi it takes more acid to break down meats....Carbs are a little easier....Chooses good carbs though not white, white rice, potatoes...etc..

Consider eating high calorie and fat foods that are healthy...

Eat nuts, mixed ones BUT blend them since your irritating for energy
Avocados also
Bananas
Olive Oil

Some of this you might know already but is worth a try....

If your older it could be low acid...talk to your dr. about measuring your acid levels....

Let me know what works...I also have GERD it sucks...I am treating naturally...so far mixed results...but some tihngs work for some for others they dont.

Hey Mockturtle what do you take for medication if any? Do you also take alternative medicine?

Tks guys for the good reposnses..I am 28 years old and i weight traing for about six years..the first 3 were super no problens but in my last 3 years i got this stupid weird gerd thing with protein maldigestion type..

at first 3 years ago i went to a GI dr and got the endoscopy ..the result was reflux esophagitis b grade with hyperchlorhydria..i took 3 months medication pantoprazole ,claritromicine amoxiciline,(h pylori) ,sucralfate,domperidone(motility) but nothing....also when i was on treatment i got the same symptoms gerd after protein meals and and delayed stomach emptying time...the food just sits there and rots..also i think that H2 really messed up my testosterone levels(they tend lower testo and increase in Estadiol)

Now i talked to some and they recommend me alkaline diet also i try juice fasting for 2 days and i felt a little better but it's not healthy...
Now i am not a drinker nor i was or a smoker but the stress in my life had the last word in this gerd thing....also the what's really bothering me is the lack of energy...i feel that i am too young that this crap could happen to me and basically ruin everything...

the people i talked said that gerd is not associated with lack of energy but some i read they also are tired and fatique....i think i will try for a week 6 mg melatonin on empty stomach and some glutamine before bedtime...also after that i will try also baclofenum...
