GERD is unbearable and nothing works
So I’ve had GERD my whole life since I was 13, and it was pretty manageable until I became pregnant. I’m now 25 weeks and I take pantoprazole, famotidine, and gaviscon and have removed almost everything enjoyable from my diet. I eat very bland and plain foods and it doesn’t matter what I eat or drink I get lava in my throat all day, I’m coughing all day and have so much mucus it gags me and sometimes I throw up a little bit. It is impossible to lay down at night even though I’ve tried sleeping sitting up or elevated and I don’t lay down after eating. I had my last meal at 4pm and it’s now 9 and it’s just getting worse. I feel like I can’t eat anything at all and nothing is working. My Obgyn just says it’s normal and to keep taking my meds. Is there anything else I can do? Has anyone else dealt with this? I feel absolutely miserable.
