Hello Everyone,
It is wonderful to see this message board mostly just to know I am not the only one who is affected by GERD. I am 31 years old, female and in good shape. About a year ago I noticed that I had a yucky taste in my mouth quite often. Shortly after my mouth was white inside and very painful. After dealing with my doctor for months and finally having endoscopy it was determined that I have GERD. I take PREVACID every day now but still have really bad days. I do also suffer from heartburn but really the mouth thing is the worst part for me. I usually take the PREVACID first thing in the morning about thirty minutes before my first cup of coffee (yikes I know I am not supposed to do that but I only have two cups a day...) I honestly thought that I wouldn't have to take the PREVACID for very long nevermind the rest of my life. I am starting to think it will be forever. I am so frustrated that I have to deal with this. Not to mention that even having an occasional drink isn't good either. Gimme a break. Anybody else ever have mouth issues from the acid sitting there? Please tell me how you deal with the bad breath and gross taste.
Thanks. It really is great to know I am not alone.
God Bless...
