Acid Reflux / GERD

[Tattoo85]

I just started taking Omeprazole with my meds at night, and it seems to be working. I'm already on anabolics that tend to give me a little bit of acid reflux so I've been chewing a Pepcid complete once in a while, but switching to Omeprazole I haven't needed any Pepcid so far.

Yeah, my EP really wants me to sleep on my right side to minimize stroke risks from AFib, but everytime I do, I get heartburn because of the ultra slow stomach emptying from GLP-1s.

yeh i can only sleep on my left side because of the heartburn...

Vonoprazan is a lifesaver. I rely on peptobismol, omeprazole, esmeprazole, pantoprazole, Gelusil due to bad acidity since sleeve surgery.. But when I have vonoprazan, nothing else matters: sleeping on side, fatty food, even being tricked by disgustingly spicy food [heck, capsaicin is a neurotoxin]

I actually try and do this too, but i try and get up earlier in the morning so that i can get my meals in. Smaller meals makes a difference too.

Can definitely second the omeprazole solving the issue for me. Also supposedly one thing that brings it on or makes it worse is lying down soon after eating, in case anyone has a habit of doing that, I know I did lol
