Gerd??????

10 years ago I had afundoplication when I was 4 for severe acid reflux and missing valve.

so about 4 months ago I had a checkup endoscopy and my gastro said that my esophogus was inflamed, covered in mucus and really scarred.

Recently my reflux has been really bad. A few weeks ago I had tomato soup, and was so nausous I could barely stand up. Food always gets stuck in my chest so I have to drink lots of water whenever I eat. ( I go through about 4 glasses just at dinner)
Then this morning when I had coffee and nothing else, I just started gagging over and over again. Only spit came up but it was yellowy (mucus?)

So yeaah Im not sure. Its getting really annoying especially the nausea, heartburn, food getting stuck.

Im on omeoprole daily and milanta when the heartburn is bad, but Im not getting any results. My gastro suggested I may need another funodplication. I'm booked in in 2 weeks, but wondering what to expect Could there be something else wrong? im only 14! HELP!!!!

I am going to say that it is probable but may not be. I recommend staying away from pharmaceuticals because you will need larger doses overtime to subdue the pain and symptoms. Try using alternative medications, I have taken the liberty to elaborate below.

I am not a doctor, so either way you will want to talk to them, but this is what I have to say as a long time sufferer of Acid Reflux (G.E.R.D.)!

Three part answer: information, what not to do, and what to do!

INFORMATION!!!!!!
I have a very severe case of Acid Reflux (G.E.R.D.). I have had to go to the hospital for some of the heartburn that I have had because the pain can become overwhelming or your breathing can be effected. It can be caused by Smoking, Drinking Beverages with caffeine (My case with hereditary), Drinking Beverages with Alcohol, Stress, Anxiety or can be Hereditary

The good thing about G.E.R.D. is that it can be a temporary thing and can be cured. It is never a permit thing even if you end up with it for the rest of your life it has the ability to be cured.

G.E.R.D. is caused by too much acid being created in your stomach. This can lead to or cause ulcers, esophagus damage, heartburn and/or damage in the mouth. . Other symptoms that can be found in a few cases are dizziness, tingling in limbs, numbness of Limbs, Chest/Back pain focused on the left side (in most cases), and shortness/difficulty breathing.

WHAT NOT TO DO!!!!!!!!
In most cases, stress is a factor to the reflux if you watch what you eat and reduce some of the stress it will help. If you watch what you eat for about a week you should find relief, if you do not then that is when you definitely what to listen to the doctor. Things to watch for are as follows:

Fatty Foods
Citrus Foods
Foods That Contain Grease
Fried Foods
Chocolate (including any Coco)
Caffeine
Smoking
Alcohol
Tomato Based Products
Lactose
Roughage (Berries and Nuts)
Onions

WHAT TO DO!!!!
The two foods that I recommend is Black strap Molasses and Raw honey. The apple is better for night time reflux while these will work for just about all of it. What you will do is take about a tsp. of whatever one you chose. Molasses being the better because of strength and nutrition, but must be use to the taste. What the substance will do is stick to the sides of the esophagus and do two things, one is heal and the other is protect.
On the healing end, both substances have a healing property in them, and as they sit on the walls of the esophagus they will heal it. This is also helpful if you have a sore throat in the morning from refluxing.
On the protection end, both substances are high in sugar and when acid that is refluxed comes up to that the sugar will neutralize it and it will not longer be a problem at that point.

I would also look to putting Cinnamon and Ginger in you diet, they have been know to help with digestion and will help you reduce the amount of acid needed to brake down food, therefore causing you to reflux less.

Coffee isn't good for 14 y/o's or GERD.

Certainly you may need surgery since you are not reponding to medical treatment

Oh sweetie, you can't eat anything with a tomato base, no orange juice or other acidic foods or drinks. Too much acid will have you walking the floors in pain. It sounds like you might have some infection in there. You should call the doctor back and tell them you need to be seen right away. I take Nexium for Gerd and it's a wonder drug. If I miss a single dose I am walking the floor. If I take my dose I never feel a thing. Good luck and get to the doctor asap Also, you probably have a hiatal hernia that makes food stick in your throat. My gastroenterologist told me that it is very common and about half of all people have one. So you must eat very slowly and chew your food completely. Drinking too much water only makes the acid float up and into your esophagus and causes more reflux, so limit your water, no caffeine. You should drink milk, eat yogurt, eat soft foods..remember..no acidic foods for now. And also, I almost forgot, raise the head of your bed by placing two 2" blocks under the headboard. This will keep the acid from floating up into your esophagus while you are lying in bed.

You should definitely cut the coffee. You probably just need to try a different PPI (proton pump inhibitor), like the Nexium suggested below, Protonix or Aciphex. You could also try taking your omeprazole twice daily. Often, reflux is worse at bedtime, especially when you lay down, so a bedtime dose could help. It sounds like you may also have some obstruction going on in your esophagus - you need to be sure to chew your food thoroughly and don't eat too quickly. Your MD will probably tell you all of this when you see him/her in 2 weeks.
