HEARTBURN!!
ad
I don't know exactly what's causing it. I mean obviously I've had heartburn before but now it's every day. I'm taking proviron, aromasin along side all my Supps/vitamins etc. I already tried Zantac and I eat tums like candy. This isn't your run of the mill heart burn. This is stop me in my tracks, down to one knee holding my chest heartburn. Which OTC drug do you all use. Since they're fuckn $30 a box I'm taking a poll instead of rolling the dice again since Zantac doesn't do shit.

Prilosect or if you have a cool dr have him/her give you prescription strength prilosect. Also I take a spoon full of Apple cider vinegar every morning. I used to have bad acid reflux and this helped tremendously. I like the prescription prilosect because if you have ins it's cheaper. It's worth a shot
pineapple people.. you don't need a lot either.. and it tastes good
Teaspoon of baking soda and water ( bottled water lol)
Wow I just experience this and I was taking aro and provi. It got where it effected my day to day life. Wonder if there any correlation to using provi and aro that might cause heartburn
Fr me and PM me I know a fix
AnonI get the equate brand at Walmart which is really Prilosec. If I don't take one everyday I throw up. Driving down the road, I pull over go behind a store and throw up.
Anondoxycycline.........................
Anondoxy? FOR heartburn?
Doxy causes heartburn I know that one from experience
Ive found the perfect instant cure nitti!! Drop a teaspoon of bicarb soda in a glass of milk and BAM!! Instant releif! Shiit works like a charm
AnonIs that you muppet?
Nooo..
Hey... try being a little more relaxed.. I mean you always seem soo up tight to me.. or maybe it's just to me? ummm
I'm a little uptight I have to admit. And a little more stress than usual outside of eroids. So maybe an ulcer? I don't know. You used to give me heartburn! You've been good lately. What gives?
I have had a stomach ulcer when I used to drink a shit load of coke. It hurts you will know certin things seamed to set it off like caffine
Well you're posting about heartburn and hurtin n shit... I don't wanna be the cause of your old ass dying!
Old? That's pretty rude!
Buildbigger86Nitti, i have acid reflex and when i stopped my meds for a while and started taking liquid aromasin. After a few days i started to get it every time i used it. Zantac is a good over the counter though. Yeah i am the same with tum's i just munch them like nothing. It is continues go to your Doc and get some Nexium. It work's well for me.

Describe your symptoms to your doc and ask for a prescription of OMEPRAZOLE (generic Prilosec) ask for 20mg caps (a low effective dose) but let him/her know that you intend to up it to 40mg if the dose is too low. That way the doc will be prepared when the refill request comes in.
This is a common maintenance drug that can be very pricey OTC, (not to mention having to deal with those blister packs).
Persistent reflux is a cancer risk. I had an upper GI recently and he showed me pictures where the cells in the lower part of my esophagus had changed to the same type of cells that line my stomach. This type of "mutation" is good as it protects my esophagus from getting ulcers as a result of the acid reflux.
It could also be bad if that mutation became cancerous. Hence the need for occasional GI.
AnonWe have a guy at the gym who had cancer of the esophagus and they cut so much out of his neck I do t see how he holds his head up. He's done, I imagine he has to draw social security because what little bit of neck he has left probably can't hold his head up all day.
AnonI've been thinking about this thread non stop for some reason and now I too have heart burn and reflux. I feel like the Jerry Lewis in the disorderly orderly.
I'm going to eat Chinese food to see if that helps
I use nexium or prilosec. Works great for me definitely worth the 30$ for the 28 days. They also work for 24hr. I take it in the morning all day relief.
I get heartburn so bad it make me cough so hard I puke. These two meds help me a lot.
AnonHow about your water? What kind of water do you drink? Depending on where you live the water could have a low PH which wouldn't help any, I notice when I drink certain waters I get a little reflux going.
Try cutting out of acidic fruits, which is almost all fruits, bananas get a pass. Cut out spices and garlic, no tomatoes or onions. Lots of grains, fish, chicken breast, spinach, broccoli. Pretty much all the crap we force ourselves to eat anyways, minus the stuff that makes it taste good. This isn't a permanent change in diet but I've been there and anything is worth trying. If you're a protein shake junky, cut back on those too.
Go get a PH test to be safe, should be cheap and could tell a lot.
AnonAre you feeling any better yet?
Nope, still get it like clock work. It went away a few days but comes right back
AnonDammit
AnonWhat supplements are you taking?
For me, Animal flex gives me terrible heart burn/reflux.
Supps I'm only taking vitamins and protein bro. I use wheybolic-60 right now. And megamen. I am using caber and aromasin. I was popping a Cialis every now and then but it's been over a month for that now. I'm stressed the fuck out I'll tell u that. Maybe I have an ulcer?
AnonYou said Zantac isn't helping, sounds like it may be medication related. Let's hope it's not ulcers.
Both Caber and Aromasin can cause heartburn, I would try taking everything on a full stomach, since it's daily I would put my money on the Aromasin. You could also try taking aromasin out of your regimen for a few days, slowly drop one and add the other, even the megamen.
I don't think it's the caber since you're probably taking that 2x a week.
If you think it's an ulcer definitely check with a Doc.
Good luck.
BTW if you want an awesome vitamin try natures plus source of life gold, it's a liquid vitamin. Has nothing to do with this topic but there it is.
Sounds good. I'll give it a shot. The aromasin I just increased too. Dried me right out. Maybe you're right. Thanks Badger.
I have suffered with GERD all my life. There are 2 classes of drugs. Only Lansoprazole works for me. It works most often but I still need to not over eat or drink, Several small meals to keep something in my stomach and minimize the amount of dairy and spicy foods -particularly at the end of the day before lying down at night.
ranitidine (Zantac) belongs to a group of drugs called histamine-2 blockers. Zantac works by reducing the amount of acid your stomach produces.
Lansoprazole (prevacid) belongs to a group of drugs called proton pump inhibitors. Lansoprazole decreases the amount of acid produced in the stomach.
SonofaBitchThis may not work for you but it cures my heartburn everytime I get it personally. As soon as I feel it coming on I start eating dill pickles cures the shit within minutes.
After reading through this thread I'm guessing it has something to do with the acid in the vinegared pickles.
Good luck
Look for the active ingredient ranitidine and give it a shot! I don't know the name brand.
That's Zantac! It works sometimes. But I have this shit every day all day. Goes away a few days and comes back hard.
Go see the Dr then and ask for the little purple pill (Nexium) hands down best thing out there but by script only!
Thanks for all the replies. So far i'm actually doing better just by continuing the zantac without popping tums every 5 mins. I didn't know they take away from it's effectiveness
eh not sure the tums are a great idea. My buddies dad had heartburn from alcohol consumption and poor diet, used to pop'em like candy. In the end the doc said it was the tums that killed him. I wish i could remember why but I remember when it happened and that is was the excessive tums.
I dont have heartburn.. but i do get gas.. and it sucks. What's been helping me
out is protein shakes at night.. coats the stomach and I dont feel like a ballon
in the morning.I try not to use meds to solve something that I "think" can
be handled with food or something organic.
Ever try a probiotic ?.. there are a bunch of them out there.
Bro I'm in the same boat your are. Unfortunately if the OTC stuff isn't working anymore then you may have to go to the doc. The best stuff I've ever used was nexium but my insurance stopped covering it. Fucking bastards!!!! Also dexilant is good too. The upside to all this is once you get on a prescription it should get you back to where you can take OTC again eventually. I used to take nexium twice a day and over time i got to where I could take one a day. The insurance effed me and i switched to aciphex which sucked ass and then to dexilant. Then i switched jobs and now I don't have insurance anymore but im where I can take generic zantac. I honestly believe I have a hiatal hernia. I've had my gall bladder checked it's all good. Good luck bro I know how bad it sucks when you can't eat as much as you need to because of a body malfunction.
Maybe go see a Dr. if it is that bad, it could be acid reflux and that could screw you up if not in check, it could even cause ulcers, which are no fun. I know stress doesn't help it either.
Dont know the trade name but Famotedine. I get stress related heartburn on a regular basis and ive taken famotedine for weeks at a time which causes immediate relief, then after weeks of taking it the heartburn subsides entirely for a time. I take Triphala ayervedic internal cleanser once day and calcium supplement on top of my daily lqd multi. Works for me.
I had something similar. Doc called it gastritis. f'ing sucked. So painful. Prilosec eventually calmed it down!
Gastritis is on the left side of the torso where your stomach is.
i had been suffering from some bad heartburn for a little and when it suddenly had gotten unbearable and i ended up in the ER buckled crying like a baby. turned out i was having gall bladder issues. so i got a bunch of good supps for gall issues, took a ton of zantac and now im all good.
RustyhookerI take orals always with big wad of peanutbutter. Think tjis way...empty stomach gets irritating orals, produces extra acids, breaks down tjose orals into useless products in large part. Excess acids burn lining and esophagus. Same reasoning behind aspirin being coated....to avoid stomach lining Burns.
Also, some heartburn meds PROMOTE gyno so check your meds vs side effects. I know you're on ai but be safe boss!
Nitti, I have had heartburn for years and I use 300mgs of Zantac a day. Mine was so bad it would burn my esophagus. I don't know if you know this or not but tums neutralize the potency of zantac and they are not supposed to be used together. Maybe you didn't take them at the same time but I figured I would let you know
Did not know that. Maybe that's why the Zantac doesn't work. Lol. I take 150mg btw. Maybe I should leave the Tums alone. They help instantly for that "stop you dead in your tracks" heartburn pain.
I know, I did them both together for that very reason, and I told my wife that zantac doesn't do shit. I was away from home so she didn't know that I was eating tums to like skittles. She is in the medical field, so when I got home she saw me mixing them and said "that is why the zantac doesn't work". And explained why. Ever since I stopped with tums and doing 150mgs at morning and night it has been fine.
Yo nitti are you on any orals?
I noticed you said proviron. I'm also taking proviron. I do get heartburn occasionally. For some people taking on a full stomach helps. Maybe try taking your aromasin on a full stomach?
I made a similar post not too long ago about heartburn from orals, viking gave some good advice
http://www.eroids.com/forum/steroids-qa/anabolic-steroids/oral-steroids-...
but some of the things viking said was to try taking orals or pills with peanut butter. He said get a small amount of peanut butter and put the cap/tab inside it. This will cover the pill reducing the immediate acid breakdown in your stomach acid. I guess its supposed to help with heartburn.
Anyways I'm just quoting viking.
But zantac SHOULD work if you have acid reflux as zantac reduces the amount of acid in your stomach. All tums does is neutralize, it doesn't reduce acid.
Yes proviron and aromasin. I take them both on an empty stomach. Zantac hasn't helped me much. It definitely reduces it but doesn't get rid of it. I have taken both with food before. I still seem to have heartburn every day. It's not really immediately following the ingestion of the tabs. It's kinda all day and night. Some times are worse than others. I absolutely have to try the Prevacid but I'll check out the links you posted. Thanks bro
