Hi,

I have a bloated stomach almost every time after a meal, even a small meal and difficulty in burping due to the bloated stomach. Don't have most of the other symptoms of GERD though occasionally antacids can solve my problems. Tried to make dietary and life style changes but the problem still persists. May I know if anyone else face similar problems?

Thank you.

I'm a very serious gerd sufferer for at least 3 years. Was on nexium 40mg or pariet 40mg with ganaton daily.

My gerd was so bad until I would suddenly vomit and have to be admitted for few days. It happen few months once.

I went through surgery and the reason because it starts affecting my throat. It was so severe that I was attended by a respiratory specialist that couldn't do much as the acid kept coming up. I was on double maximum dose of nexium but it still couldn't help.

I even went to Singapore to seek treatment as my uncle is a doctor in SGH but yet I still suffered

Luckily my doctor doesn't give up on me. Few gastro that I've consulted already giving up. Just lucky that its been fully cure and I'm happy that at least its a year now I'm still gerd free. However, I still see my Dr at least few months once to follow up.

Do you mind to recommend which doctor you went ?

Just wanna share that my girlfriend has the same issue for many years affecting her studies. Saw many GPs/gastro dr and given various medications but didn’t help much. It is only until recently she saw a very patient and nice gastro dr and was informed to have hiatus hernia as the root cause of her bad gerd. He was very thorough with his explanation after the gastroscopy and was given a medication which i have never seen before. It’s been one month and she has never felt better.

I had same problem, then started taking Yakult regularly. My gastritis improved a lot after a month or so. No more pain, no more bloated, no more burping, no more nauseous. Not cured, but very much improved, just like 1-2 mild attacks per year. Used to be like every other day also got symptoms.

Have you gone for an endoscopy? Sometimes it could be something sinister sitting in there that contributed to all these symptoms.

just curious, are you feeling now since your surgery? is it linx or fundoplication. would you mind sharing more info?
