Question 1

does peanut butter and jelly give you heartburn?

Accepted Answer

Not usually.: Peter butter and jelly sandwiches usually do not cause a significant amount of heartburn, although peanut butter does contain a lot of fat, which bothers some people. However, everyone is different, so if you notice that PB&amp;J's cause heartburn problems for you, you may need to avoid them. Good luck.

Accepted Answer

Who knows?: May be it was not the sandwich , may be it didn't agree with you, may be you ate too late, may be what you had eaten earlier bothered you, may be you have a stomach virus.Itshard to guess. Try some tagamet or zantac (ranitidine) and watch your diet today. If not better bu monday see your doctor.

Question 4

can i eat peanut butter jelly with indigestion/acid reflux? what about donuts?

Accepted Answer

Yes: You can eat almost anything in moderation. Be aware that fatty foods slow digestion and may lead to more symptoms. Not laying down after meals or filling your tummy before bedtime helps reduce symptoms. Reduce caffeine if you can and avoid it altogether after mid day, it aggravates reflux.

Question 5

what else causes frequent severe heartburn besides gerd?

Accepted Answer

Studies have shown: That the differential diagnosis of heartburn symptoms is quite broad, but according to Dr. Harmon and others in Therapeutic Advances in Gastroenterology,  there are five major causes:
Medications, functional dyspepsia, GERD, peptic ulcer disease, and cancer. 
GERD may have no symptoms of heartburn whatsoever. Here is a review to read: http://tinyurl.com/nqnv9qr

Question 6

i've read gerd/heartburn is often caused by low stomach acid and not too much. is this true or more of a holistic/natural type point of view?

Accepted Answer

Not true: GERD is caused by contents in the stomach coming up through the esophagus, which in turn has a poorly understood cause. We think it is probably due to too many random openings of the valve. Certain medications can also cause the valve to open, as can stress, obesity, &amp; problems with the stomach emptying to name a few. Hope this helps!

Question 7

i am experiencing  acid reflux and heartburn (gerd). i tend to get this a lot after swallowing a pill. what could cause this?

Accepted Answer

GERD: Gerd (movement of stomach contents into esophagus) can result from: 1) inappropriate relaxation of lower esophageal sphincter, gastroparesis (sluggish stomach emptying, partial gastric outlet obstruction), ineffective esophageal peristalsis, inadequate salivary production. Limit consumption of: caffeine &amp; fizzy drinks, dietary fats, tomato products, chocolate, tobacco, alcohol, bedtime snacks.

Question 8

fatigue, heartburn, don't have appetite, loss weight. what's the possible reason for all of this?diagnosed with gerd 2 years ago.

Accepted Answer

See doctor: What you described warrants a more detailed history, physical examination and may be some tests. Unintended weight loss in an adult is a cause for concern. Please see your doctor for an in-person evaluation.
Wish you good health.

Question 9

how does gerd cause dysphagia if my esophagus is normal with no scarring or narrowing?  i have no heartburn or any other gerd symptoms?

Accepted Answer

Spasms: The acid reflux can cause the muscles of the esophagus to spasm and cause a temporary blockage or narrowing.

Question 10

currently taking 40mg omeprazole 4 gerd, recently, have excessive acid (ea) which results in severe heartburn even with ppi. what can causes for ea b?

Accepted Answer

Timing : How are you taking the omeprazole? It should be taken on an empty stomach with nothing to eat or drink for at least 30 minutes after. If you aren't taking it this way that can reduce to the effectiveness. Otherwise, you may need to see your doctor or a gastroenterologist.
