What Causes Acid Reflux Along With Heart Burn And Abdominal Bloating?
I ve had acid reflux for the past 5 days... this morning it was really bad. So bad that I threw up. There looked like small clots of blood was mixed in. A few years ago I had the same problem with acid reflux and heartburn, everyday for months. I couldn t eat much because of it and when I tried working out... it would make it worse. And I was bloated all the time and gained 30 plus pounds in less than a year and had irregular bowel movements. Not a single solid bowel movement in over a year now. The heartburn/acid reflux finally went away after awhile. When I went to my doctor about this, he couldn t figure out what was going on with the weight, bloating and everything else. His solution was to take me off my birth control pills. I ve been on the same birth control for years before this all started happening, however they did switch me to a generic around the time all this started happening. I ve been off birth control for 7 months now... I m still gaining weight (not as quickly as before) and I m still bloated (also not as much as before). Now the heartburn/Acid reflux is back and I m scared that the weight is going to pile on again. Please help.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of acid reflux along with heartburn and abdominal bloating which seems to be either infection or inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to proton pump inhibitors and antacids such as Pantoprazole along with domperidone. You should take antispasmodics as well. You should take oral rehydration solution for maintaining the hydration and electrolyte balance of the body. You should consult gastroenterologist once and get complete blood investigations done. Start treatment after proper diagnosis. also eat slowly , drink plenty of warm water , do moderate workout, and take plenty of Probiotics like Yogurt in diet.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes, Dr. Harry Maheshwari
