Remedies Needed for Acid Mouth and Burning Chest Pain From Gerd
After the childbirth after one month I have upper abdominal pain (I believe is acid reflux). I had zantec (acid blocker) and my abdominal pain is gone, but new symptom comes up which I have constant burning chest pain, and something stuck in the throat and hard to swallow pill. The burning chest pain is better when I relax and put my arm down. As soon as I raise and moved my arm the burning chest comes back. Also when I get so upset and talk have short of breathe. I tried blended veggie and white rice only but nothing helps. It only clear the throat, but if I eat chicken or swallow pill and the feeling thing in the throat again.
Nothing found in the endoscopy and only minor inflammation. Doctor prescribed PPI drug (Omeprazole 20mg) took it for 1 day and stopped because of the side effect. After I stopped the Omeprazole for 1 day I have constant sour taste in mouth drinking water and eating the whole day with sour taste. I tried chinese herbs but nothing help only make the sour taste worst. Doctor gave me another PPI drug is Prevacid 45 mg and have it for 3 months still have sour taste in mouth and the chest pain and short of breathe got better and it gone except for the sour taste in mouth not go away. Then I took probiotic 30 billion and the next day all my sour taste is gone. After symptoms free for only 3 weeks and sour taste comes back alittle and started to get abdominal pain.
I took heartburn supplement and the abdominal pain goes away and every once and while I still have the sour taste in mouth. each time I reduced my Prevacid medicine the sour taste return more. I am not completely stopped the Prevacid and the sour taste in mouth is more even drinking water or not eating and in the morning have sour taste and the burning chest pain too.
I now have anxiety and depression cannot sleep have both burning chest pain from heartburn and chest pain for anxiety. Also for the past 6 months I can only do bowel movement every other day and sometime every 3 days even I am on prevacid. My stool color is green all the time for the past 6 months. I think it is from the green veggie that I eat. I did a stool test and everything came back normal.
Since I am still on stricted diet only eat bland chicken breast, veggie, and white rice for the past 6 months and I now very skinny losing alot of weight and losing hair. For the past 6 months I have not eat any greasy or sweet stuff and did not eat any vitamin. that is why losing weight. After I gave birth I am already anemic. Plus no nutrient from food and no vitamin just have Prevacid. I now completely stopped the Prevacid and hoping to find a cure. The prevacid only helps to stopped the symptoms but it comes back on and off, but did not cure it.
Please advise what I should do. Thanks.

One thing to consider is that you may have B12 deficiency or folate deficiency. I was treated for over a year for acid reflux because I had same symptoms as you. I had nerve damage from low B12 that gave me the symptoms you describe. Once I got enough B12 into my system, the symptoms began to leave. It took heavy dosing for several months. I have not had those symptoms since. I do have to take daily doses of B12.
Hi Cindy, may I ask what kind of symptoms you have experiencing. And do you take B complex or just B12? If it just B12 what is the dosage. I am currently taking B- complex 15mg which includes b1, b2, b3, b5, b6, b12, folic acid 800 mg with biotin 300mg.
I took b-complex vitamin for 3 days already, but my sour taste in mouth getting more stronger each day with the b vitamin. I am so scared. I tried baking soda for 5 days I have not see any improvement. I tried multivitamin for 1 day and it gave me burning chest pain. I am so afraid to eat and I look so skinny I can see my bones.
I am constipated for the last few months on and off. Some day have stomach ache my bowel movement 2x a day and most of the time is constipation every 2 days or sometime 3 days. I am thinking to drink the ensure too put on some weight, but I am afraid causing heartburn and sour taste in mouth. Please please advise me. I am feeling depressed and don't know what to do. My doctor don't know what else to do other than tell me to take Prevacid or antibiotic. The Prevacid ppl drug only stop the symptoms but as son as I stop the Prevacid it comes back. The sour taste making me crazy. while I sleep at night I could taste sour in my mouth and woke up in the morning with sour taste with empty stomach. After meal. Please advise. Thank you so much
