What Leads To Acidity,nausea And Weight Loss?
I have very bad acid that I am bringing up on my mouth. I am constantly naseaued and losing weight. I had an Upper Endocoscy recently that showed a mild irritation. Waiting for biopsy results but concerned that it could be Barretts or something else. I need some type of temporary relief because none ove the prescription meds or over the counter GERD meds have worked. Can you help?

Hello dear,
The acid reflux in the mouth is caused due to relaxation of the sphincter at the lower part of esophagus, which is characteristic of GERD.
Since you are waiting for the biopsy results, you can achieve symptomatic relief with medical measures, which consists of intake of Proton pump inhibitors like Esomeprazole (which prevent acid formation in stomach)+ Domperidone preparations (strengthens the sphincter & prevents reflux)
In addition, you needs to follow certain diet & lifestyle measures, such as:
1. Dietary modification- avoid consuming irritating substances such as acidic & rich foods, caffeine, nicotine, and alcohol.
2. Lifestyle modification- like weight reduction, sleeping on the left side, or with upper body raised.
If symptoms still persist, it will be better to consult your treating Doctor/ Gastroenterologist.
Wishing you a good health.
Take care.
