A member asked:
Can the estrogen in birth control upset my previous digestive issues? i was previously diagnosed w/gerd & gastritis.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Although the estrogen in the oral contraceptive pill is extremely low dosage, taking them on a empty stomach can aggravate the GERD/gastritis. You also must not take the pill when you are using antacids or other local anti GERD Rx's.
