I was suspected to have GERD last Monday after visiting the ER doctor and will be referred to a Gastroenterology next Monday for confirmation.
It was all quite sudden, i started experiencing minor acid reflux symptoms about 2 weeks ago and it does not seem to go away. Went to a normal clinic and was diagnosed with "indigestion" and was given antacid and charcoal pill. On that night itself, the symptoms got worst so I went to the ER in Sunway Hospital and then the bad news came
Is anyone here suffering from GERD and for how long already? What steps are you taking to manage the symptoms so they do not interfere with normal lifestyle?
I have been doing some article reading regarding GERD and it appears to be a very grim condition in the sense that there is no permanent cure.
I have not been able to focus since I was told that I may have GERD.
Help =(
Believe it or not, if you're suffering from GERD, it is NOT because you have too much acid in your stomach.It was all quite sudden, i started experiencing minor acid reflux symptoms about 2 weeks ago and it does not seem to go away.

Rather, you do not have enough acidity. The esophageal sphincter that prevents the reflux going up your throat, is triggered by lower ph in the stomach source.
Antacids will typically make the reflux worse as you progress over time. I used to have some minor heartburns which went away after I changed my diet and removed carbs and vegetable oils, i.e keto diet. You can try and see if it helps.
HOWEVER, I suggest you try it for at least 14-21 days to see a difference. Don't expect change over night because you didn't get GERD overnight either. Note the frequency of how often you get the reflux now, and again after you change the diet. If you see the reflux frequency reduce after 14-21 days, you can consider that it helped, and can choose to continue leaving carbs and vegetable oils out of your diet. If there is no change then it probably didn't help.
