Hi. I am hoping someone here can give me some advice. I woke up choking on acid about 3 weeks ago. I have been clear from heartburn for about 5 months before this incident. It may be also important to point out that I am not over weight and am 34 years old. I also suffer general anxiety and am very worried of going for endocopy etc. Ever since then I have taken prob about a 3rd of a Zantac every night to try and calm it down. The reason I tak so little is that in the past I find that I have to come off tablets gradually or I get rebound reflux. It seemed to be working but for the last week or so I have had bouts of heartburn everyday and suffer especially in bed and when I get up first thing. Since Friday I have stopped all caffeine drinks but am still suffering. Could somebody give me an example of what I can eat to stop this acid reflux. I have tried taking dgl liquorice tablets before meals and slippery elm tablets also. I am hoping somebody can tell me what to eat (don’t mind it being a strict diet) so that I can get it under control and allow my esophagus to heal. My other question is if I should take maybe a full zantac every night for a few days to allow healing.
