Anyone suffer from reflux/gerd?

Does anyone here suffer from bad refux/gerd? I was prescribed somac for 6 months. How has it been for you? Does your throat/neck get sore? Do you ever cough up anything? Do you have any other symptoms? I have all of the above and wondering how long it took to clear up? Also, did you change your diet? Any food I should be eating to help it? Thankyou

Yes treatment with somac definitely helped me I can't really remember how long it took though. I have found that eating slower and also making sure I drink plenty of water and not too much in the way of fatty foods, spicy foods or alcohol helped to reduce my symptoms - I still need to use somac every now and again but not regularly

My dr said I did yes
I said bs as low stomach acid has the exact same symptoms. Took digestive enzymes and ate well, fluid away from food and tada fixed!

It will never clear up on Somac, that just treats the symptoms and is actually pretty bad for you. Find out why you have it and fix that. For me it turned out I can’t breakdown trisacarides (so intolerant to lactose and also maltose & sucrose). No more nausea or reflux unless I eat really fast!!
