I was diagnosed with gerd years ago, and I have a hiatal hernia.
Last night my husband and I went out to dinner. We ate deep fried chicken and fried okra.
When I went to bed, I had a nasty gerdy taste in my throat. Later, I woke up feeling nauseated, and hot and cold.
Today I am burping a lot and still feel nauseated. I have also had loose stools.
I have a nasty taste in my mouth too.
I have post nasal drip from sinuses, but I wonder if this sounds mor like gerd.
I take omeprazole every day but would like to get off of it.

Anyway, can gerd cause the chills/hot and nausea like I had?

GERD can definitely cause nausea -- that is the main symptom I get!

However, I can't say that I've heard of GERD causing chills/fever or loose stools.... this makes me think you may actually have food poisoning or some sort of stomach bug.

Only thing that sounds like gerd to me is maybe? the nausea. The others sound like a stomach flu. I've never heard of gerd causing hot and cold flashes.

You mentioned post nasal drip and wanted to tell you what my doctor told me...I have yukky sinus problems too, and she said that the drainage going down into my stomach can stir up my gerd (that surprised me), and advised me to find a good OTC allergy/sinus med.

My guess would be you had a bit of gerd and tummy flu going on. Ugh, that sounds pretty miserable. Hope your feeling better now!

Sounds familiar to me. I have gerd and hiatal hernia and I get sick just like that when I overdue with the wrong foods. And when it's real bad I start vomiting and dry heaving for about 8 hours.
Hope you are feeling better today :)
