Is my GERD chronic? |
Hi, recently I was under a lot of stress. I knew I had urine acid due to drinking too much cranberry that could contribute to GERD. I was also recently diagnosed with constipation. I am taking Gelusil for my Antacid, some Famotidine medicine and Traditional Chinese Medicine. I also have taken Aciphex for three and a half weeks. This is my 6th week of treatment and so far these has help, but how much longer will GERD go away? Do you know if its permanent or temporary for people with stress? not really related to stress, so to speak. But related to behaviors of stressed out people: caffeine, smoking, alcohol all makes the lower-esophageal-sphincter (LES) weak/loose. Avoid the above, and mints/licorice... few other things. Could also be anatomic, that is your stomach may be sliding into your chest, rendering the LES useless. There are surgical cures to the latter. However, unless you're quite young, it is likely to be a chronic issue. |
