Hi Guys,
I am sorry but this is going to be a long post so I will divide that into two.
Short Story: I got a GERD approximately 6 years back, and that too all of a sudden. Stayed with me for more than 3 years and made my life living hell.
Good new it went as well after this three years and I will feeling happy, was eating and drinking anything I like. But after this approximately 4 years of GERD free, it seems like it has attacked me again. Could someone let me know what could be root cause?
Long StoryAt the age of 25 I went to a different city for a job. I started staying with a friend of mine in a shared appartment. Everything was good for
first 2-3 months, until one day I felt the acidity in the office and throw up two times. I took the leave and went home.
After this day, I don't know what happened and things gone worst, I was throwing up once a day to couple of times a day. I did all the following tests, and nothing came positive.
- Gastroscopy for pepetic ulcer
- Blood test for any kidney stone
- Test for hernia
- took the medicine for H-Pylori Bacteria
As nothing came positive I visited
Ayurvaidic Doctor ( A different branch of medicine than allopathic)
And even she couldn't figure out. I did all the things she mentioned for more than 3 months
- Stopped smoking
- Stopped drinking
- Started eating on time
- Chewed a food lot many times while eating.
- consuming more water
I fade up with this and went back to my daily routine. Stop caring about
GERD. I was eating whatever I like, drinking and smoking and if this makes me throw up I was doing it without any complain. It was like I was married with some *****.
However, after going through this pain for more
than 3 years it stopped gradually and from vomitting couple of times a day to once a month to only once a 2-3 months.
It's still a mystery why it stopped all of a sudden. However, I am really frightened now as a guy who has already been to Hell once.
The similar situation happened two months back. For a job change I change a country and came to new country. Started staying the same friend of mine. it was all going good for 2 months and then one day morning I got too much acidity and vomited the undigested food from the night in morning.
I though it's okay as I had too much drink the other night and slept just after eating.
However, it's been more than two week and I am throwing up atleast once a day if I eat in afternoon or morning. Evening food is still okay. Whole day I can't concentrate on anything which is affecting my professional life. I feel like energy has all drained down, even can't see things clearly. it's always like some while thin plastic coming in between view.
If I see the only things in common is:
I changed the city and started drinking more than usual habit. (that's what you do when you meet old friend, right?) . And I started waking up atleast 2 hours early as compared to before.
The only good video I found on youtube for this, is as mentioned below. it makes sense of whatever he is saying. However, I tried everything he said for a week but no luck. I know GERD is not easy, it's like a real SATAN from the HELL.

Could someone suggest me something. Apart from stop drinking, which I have already done.
