I am a 14 year old boy, I'm pretty sure I have acid reflux. I have not seen any doctor in maybe 5 years. I'm afraid. What happens if I miss this treaty? Thanks, 10 points for best answer.

My son has had really bad acid reflux since birth. Now at 5 months I would have to introduce a sippy cup for him. Only with a little water you can try to get out of it nothing major, but just to familiarize yourself with the idea of a cup instead of the bottle. Any suggestions on what training cup is the best there is. Like the one that has little loops that you can grab a. Thanks!

I just said that my baby has 11 days from Acid Reflux. What kind of medication is usually given to babies and how they give them?

I’ve had a few people tell me that my mom might have gallstones instead of acid reflux. She’s 45 years old and her symptoms are very bad stomach pain, back pain, feeling very hot for a while and then cold, sometimes even vomiting. How do i know what it is? I don’t know what to do. . . we’ve been to many doctors! PLEASE HELP! I’m very worried about her!

What is acid reflux and why does it hurt so badly? You might be asking this question if you suffer from heartburn or other symptoms of acid reflux. Acid reflux is sometimes referred to as GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease). The symptoms of acid reflux can be confused with gas or even a heart attack. The symptoms can be mild to quite painful, and sometimes difficult to recognize.
Acid reflux is not gas. Gas, when it feels like it is in the chest, is actually excess air that has been swallowed and is trapped in the esophagus. Excess air can be swallowed while eating, drinking, or smoking. Some people with loose dentures will swallow excess air as well. This type of gas, as opposed to gas caused from food in the stomach and intestines, is released when you burp, or belch.
Heartburn is the most common symptoms of acid reflux. Heartburn feels like a burning sensation in the chest and can be mild or it can be very painful. Some other common symptoms of acid reflux are nausea and vomiting, and regurgitation. Some more serious symptoms of acid reflux can include coughing and wheezing, the feeling like something is caught in the throat or a choking feeling, ulcers in the esophagus that can lead to strictures (scar tissue), inflammation of the esophagus and throat, and even inflammation of the lungs.
What is acid reflux caused by? Acid and pepsin is produced in the stomach to digest food. With acid reflux, these acids will be forced up (reflux) into the esophagus. Acid reflux has several causes. Often the stomach is just too slow to digest the foods we eat. When this happens, the stomach makes more acid to try to digest what is left. Soon there is too much acid in the stomach and there is no place for the acid to go except back up into the esophagus, causing symptoms like heartburn.
Another common cause is when the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) does not close as it should in order to hold down the liquids in the stomach. The LES is a muscle that surrounds the lower portion of the esophagus where it meets up with the stomach. The LES, when functioning properly, will contract and relax. It relaxes when we swallow something, like food, drink or saliva, and then contracts immediately to keep it down. When it is not working properly and the liquid refluxes, this causes symptoms of acid reflux.
A hiatal hernia can be the cause of acid reflux, or it may be the result of acid reflux. This is not known for sure. A hiatal hernia happens when the stomach muscle weakens and pushes up into the esophagus, resulting in the LES being pushed up into the esophagus and becoming unable to do its job
What is acid reflux and how can I stop it? Acid reflux is a very common occurrence and most people will get it at some point in their lives. An antacid should take care of mild symptoms, but if your acid reflux is chronic and cannot be taken care of with antacid, speak to your physician about your symptoms of acid reflux.

My little girl is 5 weeks old and is gassy. She is a pretty good baby otherwise but sometimes when she spits up it comes out of her nose. Sometimes she regurgatates the bottle but very unfreqently. She also sometimes sounds like she is gurgling? She is such a good trooper though, she rarely cries at all and easts about every 3 hours. I have tried the mylicon drops and they seem to work only for a short period of time. My baby”s doctor has put her on medicaine for acid reflux and told me to switch the formula to Nutramingin. When I did this after 2 days she seemed worse than ever. I put her back on Good start but have keep her on meds. I dont know what to do with her now. Is there a better formula anyone has tried with a baby with these symptoms. Can you really go by what the formula says it is for on the label. Why wouldnt Soy be recommended for gas/fussiness by doctors instead of putting them on meds and saying its acid reflux. Help!!

What are good foods / drinks to have when you have acid reflux / heartburn?
Also are there natural cures, instead of meds?

I have acid reflux, and am currently taking Prilosec OTC.
  It seems to help, as I am getting a lot of fluid in the mouth (even after taking the drug).
  So what is the best medicine or how to help my acid reflux?

No matter how many you have belching, my daughter is still spitting out long after some foods. Pediatrician diagnosed with acid reflux and said that to maintain its upright position. It seems to bother, especially the really big ones. Any advice appreciated.
