Hi Kerry I would disagree with Baza slightly on the three meals a day and to tell you to eat smaller meals into maybe 5 or 6 a day. A fuller stomach causes more stress on the stomach and to eat...

Daxter, why don't you just continue on the Mirtazapine if it helps control your anxiety and gerd. Win-win, being on medicine for life is not really so bad if you can function quite normally . There...

Hi sunny, gastritis is a terrible thing, it's when your stomach is raw inside and looks like raw hamburger which I suspect is causing the nausea . You have to take the acid suppressant in order to...
