Oh god so much this. I have had acid reflux since childhood and the doctors keep telling me to stop eating spicy food because it's destroying my insides
I choose to pay the blood price
i never leave the house without my Gelusil antacid anti-gas. i'll have two after any greasy/spicy meal. it helps a lot with heartburn and acid reflux. and an omeprazole cycle every once or twice a year.
I tried some of those things as a kid and they always made it worse. Maybe I should try them again as an adult and see how it goes. Mostly if I'm having heartburn I just pop some Gaviscon and that helps. I DO try to minimize my spice intake most of the time but sometimes I deserve little a spice as a treat and then I go all out. I can survive heartburn once a week or so probably.
How does that cycle work? I thought omeprazole just 'lined'. Does it repair as well?
tbh i'm not sure, but i can usually tell when i feel a little acidy lingering for a few days, so i do a 14 day cycle of that, and it sets me back to feelin fine
