Good Afternoon, I Survived

I have never had that trouble, but I have heard that ome people do and it hurts.

My son has them terrible..he does the same as you in the night sometimes. Scary. Feels like a heart attack he says sometimes. I dont get it thank goodness. Glad you have something that works for you. And glad you are fine..hope you figure out what it was.

Only when I'm pregnant, I had it bad with all of them. Now I don't thank God. I hope your feeling better now. =)

Oh, so sorry! That sounds awful. Hope you feel better now. I have no problem eating anything.

I do not. Hope it doesnt happen again

I get an upset stomach for some reason every now and then.

I used to have those sneak attacks of acid on occasion, and they were getting more frequent. I have changed some things and find it helps. Personally, I will not take an anti cholinergic or proton pump inhibitor. . . I have lots of reasons why, but I am not a doctor. At one time I had it so bad that even drinking water sometimes gave me severe heartburn. A friend recommended Papaya. Papain from papaya, or bromelain from pineapple are the major ingredients in meat tenderizer. They are enzymes that help "digest" things. I still would get heartburn and/or reflux occasionally.I learned if I went to a buffet where I used to over eat to the point of discomfort, if I started my meal with a bowl of pineapple I did not get reflux. Usually when I combined fat and sugar too close to bed I had the experience you described. (Think a big serving of ice cream or buttery pancakes with maple syrup.) What you experienced was very scary. I do not know why mine has pretty well gone away, except I did lose weight, and I have cut back on carbs, and I have convinced hubby that a small serving of ice cream is more than plenty. I also read recently that taking melatonin at bedtime also reduces reflux. I think you are probably right, though. Your issue was cream cheese quite likely. Was this also after putting pepper jelly on a brick of it?

Im sorry this happens to you. I do have problems sometimes but not much. Now my husband it was really bad but seems to be getting better. I have him take an Acidophilus every morning when I take mine. He hardly has to take his meds anymore he said.

Yes I have this problem. I take antacid syrup after having meals

Most of my life....I take Zantac every day, sometimes two a day not at the same time, one in the morning and one at night.

Glad you were alright. I haven't had such problems in ages but boy do I hate when that happens. I guess with me it is usually if I overeat spicy food.

I am so sorry to hear you are under the weather. I am lucky for now I don't get stomach aches unless I eat something that has cheese or milk in it. Then I am in real pain for hours on end. At times I have to go to the hospital for a shot to calm this down. I have been allergic to milk products since I was born. I am good at knowing what has something in it I can't eat. Take care and hope you feel better.

It happens to me sometimes.

Years ago I suffered from a really upset stomach at least twice a year - but no more since I turned vegetarian.

No. My husband has stomach acid problems. Do you sleep lying down flat or do you sleep at an angle? You know how in hospital beds you can move the bed up so you can sit up or lay the bed down so you can sleep flat? You need to sleep at angle. Don't ask me to explain the logic. All I know is if my husband falls off his pillow that keeps him propped at an angle while he's sleeping, he'll wake up the same way you woke up. That's all I know.

I do but got it under control.

It must be some kind of food causing it. Maybe if you take antacid tablets for some days it will calm your stomach down.

Hey, Niume friend! Yes, I have acid reflux, and I do believe that is all it could be. I would get it checked out though. Nice to see you here!
