Apparently, a “gastrointestinal reflex stomach ulcer” or something.
Well, I’m taking this seriously.
Yesterday, I was at the urgent care. It felt, well, horrible. I was throwing up.
Jesus, it was quite something, but I feel better now.
But I need to take care of this issue and want to commit myself to better physical health and exercise as well as strength training.
No more NSAIDs. Frankly, I don’t want to take ever fucking again.
I’m also throwing away that dumb anti-GERD medication taht made me, well, sick.
Also, Trintellix is going out too.
Edit: The medicine that may have likely contributed, in my estimation, was definitely the Pantoprazole Sod Dr 40 Mg Tab (reading from the bottle here lol)
If you’ve got GERD you can try eating a low FODMAP diet. Worth googling, lot of stuff from the NHS in the UK about it for treating IBS.
I had to cut out Garlic, Onions and most of that family of vegetables (alliums) as after trying to cut out the foods the low FODMAP diet suggests, those were the ones that actually caused my symptoms to cease entirely. I then returned to eating whatever else really I wanted, and I transitioned to vegetarianism and then veganism afterwards with no ill-effects over a few years.
FODMAP diet?
Never heard of it, at all.
Oh, and it treats IBS.
Banger. Now I want in.
Also, cut out alliums. Gotcha.
Also, making a food diary and rating how bad your GERD is each day a little after each meal can help in working out what’s causing the worst of it. Look especially for trends: I can eat one meal in a week with onion or garlic in, but any more than that and I’ll be up at night with nausea and chest pain. It can be harder to work out by just looking at things that make it worse immediately.
Ooooohhhh
Shit, that first part is a good idea, yeah
Truth be told, I had broccoli soup and I think that may have caused a little bit of nausea but for a time.
