GERD & Heartburn Support Group
Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) is defined as chronic symptoms or mucosal damage produced by the abnormal reflux of gastric contents into the esophagus. This is commonly due to transient or permanent changes in the barrier between the esophagus and the stomach. If you are afflicted with GERD or heartburn, join the group and find support.
Hello all,
I have had a weird experience with DLG. I have acid reflux and gastritis caused by aspirin and some prescription drugs. I took five DGL tablets over a period of about 8 hours on Monday.(first time I ever took DGL) I had been taking Pepcid, 20 mg 2x a day, but hadn't taken it in a couple days. Monday evening and Yesterday (Tuesdy) morning I felt fantastic--like I was cured. So, thinking that was the case, I took 1/2 of a chldren's multi vitamin w/ minerals. In the past few weeks these kids vitamins (which smell very strange and strong by the way,) just played havoc with my conditions. Lots of burning, referred pain to the back,, burning stomach, etc. I had taken my last DGL tablet on Monday at 5pm. I took the multi yesterday morning at 9AM. By noon my symptoms were coming back big time. I then over a period of 10 hours, starting at 1:00 pm took 7 DGL and it didn't help. Today my symptoms are worse; in fact it seems that when I take the DGL I start with the acid reflux and stomach burning.
Does this make any sense? Could I be allergic to the DGL...or has the vitamin caused some inflammation? I had to take 10 mg of Pepcid this a.m. just so I wouldn't go crazy. Help!
Any advice would be appreciate.
Thanx.

i found that while healing from stomach erosion, i could not tolerate vitamins, they irritated my stomach way too much and caused nausea and acid, and i also have GERD. so you might try to give them a rest, try to eat healthy, ....and see. i found that i could take magnesium and vit D . i'm not familar with DLG. hope you feel better today and in days to come.
Good luck, KristineB
