1 2gerd?
since the asker is entitled twit who can't be arsed to inform people of what basic information we need to answer his question, it's this: "Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) occurs when stomach acid repeatedly flows back into the tube connecting your mouth and stomach (esophagus). This backwash (acid reflux) can irritate the lining of your esophagus. Many people experience acid reflux from time to time.".
Thanks but no gold.
That is correct. It can also cause esophageal cancer. I have to constantly tested by E-G-Ds every year. All the sores inside my esophagus get biopsied.
What's a gerd?
google it
I did. Why would that affect your sex life?
Google it and then read it. I have this condition, I just want serious responders.
Because heartburn sucks. Feels like a blowtorch burning out of chest or throat. Eventually you'll vomit the stomach acid. Thats the last thing you need to do during sex.
Right. 20% of people have it. They manage to still have sex. F'ing heartburn isn't leprosy. "The treatments for GERD may include food choices, lifestyle changes, medications, and possibly surgery. Initial treatment is frequently with a proton-pump inhibitor such as omeprazole. In some cases, a person with GERD symptoms can manage them by taking over-the-counter drugs. This is often safer and less expensive than taking prescription drugs." If the primary treatment is "lifestyle changes" you're not really looking at time to update your will. So since yours is obviously the atypical case, unlike the other 20% of the population that has it, what is it about GERD that inhibits YOUR sex life?
I dont want to starfish during sx. I want to actively engage. Why is everyone in chat so hostile? I didn't say I have cancer I just wanted to know how Gerd has affected your sex life. Because I have this, and its extremly annoying. and Asthma as well.
So you take heartburn meds, prescription if you want, and don't eat spicy food.
Bro its a bit more then that. There is a reason why I said google it because I said all the symptoms it go beyond the character limit. Heartburn meds have there side effects as well and dont work as well as you would think. Dont eat spicy food is merely the begining. Cheese chocalte fried high fat and tomatoes onions, acids and spicy food must be removed. If not , enjoy seering nausea in the morning, and the fact that it will just get worse.
It also leads to cancers, you cannot workout without seering throat pain, asthma flairs up from it as well. Just to name a few Do you see now why it may affect your sex life?
Asthma with it sux. It doesn't help when acid comes up and goes into lungs and wake up coughing it up. I know you didn't say you have cancer. Its me who gets checked. You got to go to a gastroenterologist to get both sides checked every year. Yes an EGD and Colonoscopy.
@Mansearching Colonoscopies is just the fing worst that friggen prep drink, is just horrible, the friggen nausea can't take any medication to stop it either. God Help us all.
Can you see now how it would affect your sex life?
I know the prep is horrible. But it all comes out in the end... lol
It sucks. I've got gerd. Sometimes just have to deal. Drink milk. You can get omeprazole at pharmacy. It says use 2 a day. 1 in morning and 1 at night. I use 2 every morning. I'm good for rest of day. Depending on the meal at night. Mexican or TEX-MEX food kills me.
Milk is terrible for you. Unless its non fat milk or protien shake isolates (i prefer by the way) Like does it get in the way of intercourse? any recommeneded positions or tips? I eat way cleaner now.
Fried food and tomatoes and Chocalate kills me.
Milk isn't terrible for you or me. It neutralizes the stomach acid that causes the heart burn. It has in past. Just felt like not wanting it bc of it. Plus didn't want to vomit on her. That's the only way to stop it. Cleaner eating and bland bland bland food.
Sat fats and lactose would say otherwise, but to each there own.
Yes fried food and tomatoes will have to taken in moderation or cut it out all together. But if you cook tomato sauce at home add sugar to the sauce. It'll cut the acid in sauce that makes you have the burn. Emeril Lagasse taught me that.
That is just for taste. It doesn't change the underlying symptoms. BAAMMmm!!!
Milk always has helped me. But I'm not lactose intolerant. Yes saturated fats are bad. I still eat fried foods. Not as much.
Since I've started putting sugar in my sauce, no heart burn... BAAAMMM... lol
Isopure Isolate natural helps with spicy foods. Bananas super helpful. Sewing clips to hold pillows in place helps.
Sitting up against head board does too. But it's hard to sleep
Raisins helps cinnamon helps. Sleeping at night is just annoying.
Don't have to tell me twice
