Do you think my Thanksgiving meal caused my heartburn/acid reflux?

July 28th, 2010
♥Special Red Girl™ asked:


I’ve had acid reflux/heartburn before, but not like I have it now. My friend told me the spicy seasoning in the food is probably the reason why I have heartburn. I still have lots of food leftover from Thanksgiving. Should I throw it away?

Acid Reflux?

July 12th, 2010
ravinraven718 asked:


I went to my dentist back in August and he told me I had damage to my teeth due to acid reflux (I have to get about 15 crowns put in. Joy.). I knew I had frequent heartburn, but it wasn’t very painful so I always ignored it. I started taking Prilosec OTC, but it doesn’t always work, even though I take it every morning.

My dentist recommended seeing an internist just to be sure. Can I go to a GP or do I have to actually go to a specialist? Would a doctor just write me a prescription or is there some sort of test/exam I’d have to have done first? If so, what is the procedure?

I have insurance, but I am away at college (probably what gave me the acid reflux - all that stress) so going to the clinic on campus would be more convenient. We have a hospital, too, but I’d prefer to avoid going there (too big and expensive).

Could this acid reflux I’m getting right now be a super early pregnancy sign?

June 29th, 2010
Andrea asked:


I have never felt this way before, but the gas in my upper chest and throat appears to be acid reflux. I was on antibiotics last week and had sex where my fiance “pulled out” on Wednesday of last week. I am 21, could I already be experiencing a pregnancy sign with this heart burn and acid reflux or is it not possible to experience signs like that one week after unprotected sex?
