Causes/treatments for CONSTANT severe heartburn and indigestion?
I am an otherwise healthy 31 year old woman who suffers from persistent heartburn and horrible indigestion. If I don't take some sort of acid reducer daily (like Prilosec or Prevacid) I will be in utter hell within 24 hours. As soon as the medication wears off, my stomach and throat are on fire and I have a terrible case of diarrhea! UGH!
- I am not overweight (in fact I am now underweight due to this problem)
- I eat plenty of whole grains and vegetables
- I avoid common triggers like caffeine, greasy food, garlic, etc.
- I exercize regularly
No matter what I eat or don't eat, the problem is always there. Every doctor I go to just wants to give me another kind of pill or acts like I am overreacting. It is so bad that I have actually fainted from the pain and had to go to the ER, and I am a really tough girl, so that's saying a lot. Anybody ever had this problem and found a cure? What could be causing this??
