More severe gerd maybe?

I have gerd. I've never actually went to a regular doctor but have been in and out of emergency rooms for about 6 years. About 5 years ago, one of the times I had went, the ER doctor told me he thought I had acid reflux. For the longest time I took ranitidine and it worked well. When I lost a lot of weight and was down to 118 I hardly ever had problems. But now, in the past year it seems to be worse. What is really weird to me is it seems it has gotten alot worse since I've quit smoking and drinking sodas all together. I thought that I would feel better. My chest hurts and burns at least everyday at some point. I burp alot and can feel a bubbling coming up my chest. I also feel some pain in my arms. I'm just assuming I don't have any heart problems since I had a chest x-ray done in March and the doctor didn't say anything was wrong. He did say I had a big ball of gas in my stomach. I do have anxiety so when it does get worse I tend to panic. Does anyone get the same symptoms?

Is it possible that you are lactose intolerant?? Lactose intolerance can rear it's ugly head really at any stage of our lives and symptoms of it are belching and gassiness, acid reflux, ribbony shaped and pellet shaped stools, mucousy stools, constipation and digestive troubles such as bloating and cramping, headaches and moodiness and irritability, insomnia, w*et farting (sorry no other way to put it) .......... have you been eating more milk and dairy products lately?? Maybe this is the culprit. Try cutting out milk and dairy products for a few days and pump up your intake of other foods rich in calcium such as leafy and green vegies, sardines, salmon, tofu, dried beans, kale, broccolli and collard greens and also increase your intake of foods rich in vitamin D ie ~ salmon or tuna ......... or simply get 10 - 15 minutes of safe sun exposure daily (vitamin D is known as the subnshine vitamin) .... vitamin D is essential for the effective absorption of Calcium ............ this could be just the right remedy for you, as without enough calcium you will have plenty of digestive troubles, headaches and insomnia and also achy bones .......... if you are lactose intolerant and keep eating foods such as milk and dairy then you would be inhibiting your calcium absorption and also inhibiting absorption of other vital vitamins and minerals ....... try it buddy, you've got nothing to lose by ditching the milk and dairy and pumping up your intake of lactose free calcium and vitamin D rich foods or sunshine...... except of course all the ghastly burning sensatins, tummy aches, gassiness and constipation..... 鈾?br>
Don't forget to drink loads of fresh filtered water and cut back on the coffee, tea and alcohol (if you drink any) as all these will dehydrate you terribly and rob you of your precious B complex of vitamins too........ also, take a multi B complex supplement too to bolster a healthy neural, digestive and immune sytstem 鈾?Ensure you get a B complex that includes all the B's ie ~ B1, B2, B3, B5, B6 and B12, folate etc.... as they all work best as a group鈾?br>
