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.
