What to do about having anxiety to eat cuz of the gerd condition though.

I don't know what to do ya. I get anxious to eat these days since it gives me acid reflux though. I don't eat much cuz of that. I know it's not good for me to become thin though. Does anyone know what I can do to get over this anxiety though. Or has anyone here experience this kind of anxiety though. Any advice would be cool ya. Thanks.

Hi AG,

I would recommend seeing your doctor to see if your GERD can or needs to be treated with medication for relief.

In the meantime, practice coping skills and relaxation exercises...(see our Resources)

...and try drinking Ensure or Boost shakes which are easy to get down when it is hard to eat. These meal replacement shakes are also rich in nutrients and calories that you need.:)

Peace and wellness,

S.C.

AG,

Are you regularly practicing coping skills to keep your anxiety managed? That's my recommendation as far as the mental aspect of GERD...

...as far as more advice, have you visited the GERD forum? If not, I would encourage you to do so.:)

...oh, one more thing, do you take a probiotic?
