The Water feels almost dry and not refreshing . I find I'm craving milk , I never drank straight milk before . I drunk the skinny kind and it settles that burning straight away .

gmanbat 5,889 Posted December 3, 2012 Water is tricky to get in for me. If I drink too much at the wrong time I get acid reflux. I'm not talking about a bit of burning, I'm talking about the absolute interruption of all other activities until relief is obtained while your eyes are wide with frantic pain. As a remedy, I have my loving wife with her large purse take along an emergency baggie of fire extinguishers. In the kit are anti-gas pills, tums, a Protein bar, and for my other aches and problems, a 5 Hour Energy and a vicodin. It seems sometimes an empty stomach brings on the problem. Especially in the morning, when I eat the pain goes away. Milk does give immediate help but knowing that milk contains lactic acid I question whether it doesn't cure the problem that it creates. A forumite suggested doubling up on the Prilosec type acid inhibitors and not overdoing the tums. That has proven to be good advice. I would suggest taking in Water slowly and be ready to fight back if it brings on the flames. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
almam 61 Posted December 3, 2012 It's the Water bcuz I take a sip and it starts then after a while it goes away but I have to keep drinking bcuz I'm barely getting in around 30-40 oz of Water a day. On top of that the loose bm I have daily aren't helping. I've already gone to the er for iv fluids once. My Dr said next step is iv fluids at home:-( Thanks for the suggestions!! hugs,<br />alma Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
