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.
Now even when I always take the pill I'm starting to feel pain and at night take a Tums, which seems to help. Why is it getting worse? Is it like a pain pill that the body gets used to and you have to take a higher dose? I'd like to stop taking the pills but am afraid. When I don't take one, I know it a few hours later, LOL.
