Feeling Acidy

My stomach is just having SO many problems today. I feel like I have so much acid coming up even though I'm taking prevacid. Today I had Cream of Rice, Unsweetened Ice Tea and Some pureed refried beans. I was thinking maybe beans were the culprit but I've had beans the last three days and it was fine. I also had unsweetened iced tea from a cafe that he poured from a jug. Could this be causing me problems? It deff didn't have sugar in it but maybe it had too much caffeine or something. Could caffeine be making me feel this way? Cream of Rice is also something I didn't have until today.

Thoughts?

Hello,

I can tell you my experience since I'm dealing with GERDS.... caffeine triggers my episodes but I love coffee. I can't have anything peppery, no spicy food, no oranges/orange juice. Just put it like this, it seems like I can't have anything.

I was just getting on to post the same thing!  My acid reflux makes me feel like I have a pill stuck on my throat all day!  I am not sure why one day I am fine and the next I feel bad...it makes me feel as though I don't want to really eat.  I was on Zantac, then went to Prevacid and it helped a lot.  AFter a while, my reflux started again, so I went back to Zantac and I was fine.  I am wondering if I should go back on Prevacid again.  Grrr!!!  I'm with you!  It is freaking frustrating!  I sure hope it gets better because I can't live my life like this!

You might want to change the PPI you are taking. I take protonix and it works great. They are improving them all the time. It may be worth a try.

Could it be bile reflux instead of acid reflux? I was recently diagnosed with that, and from what I have read, PPIs may actually make it worse.
