Reflux

Hi Labrador11 

Sorry to read you’ve been up all night with acid reflux. That sounds really tough.

I just wanted to let you know we have an Awake and Up All Night forum. If anyone is looking for support in the night then posting in the Awake and Up All Night forum may lead to more replies from other members compared to the cancer type forums.

Hope that is helpful. Take care,

Morning 

I’ve been awake for most of last night with acid reflux it’s  something that I’ve just got used too

Do you take anything for it? I’m on emeprazole 40mg every night with the added bonus of some gaviscon but I find sipping some cool milk helps to relieve 

I had my opp in May 2024 so I’m nearly 2years down the line and still going strong albite a few bits missing, but look on the bright side, it’s certainly better than the alternative

Best wishes

Hi I know how u feel is not nice at all I’m 4 yrs down the line and I suffer with reflux is horrible I sit up at night my diwn fall is I snack at night and sometimes I suffer with reflux and dome times I don’t  it makes me feel so ill the day after sore chest horrid taste and just yukky I and going to stop eating after 9 and take gaviscon before I go to bed see how that goes  can I ask you do u still suffer with the dumping it horrible word I call  them my moment it sound better 

Hi Gin

Unfortunately Dumping is my nemesis I don’t no if its early or late dumping but yes I do suffer with it especially after eating too late or fatty foods 

I think I probably one of the only long distance lorry drivers that has to carry a portapoti in the cab  because as you probably know when you have to go there’s no stopping it. Luckily I’ve got a very understanding boss

The acid reflux isn’t as bad at the moment but I have to sleep propped up in my bed so I never get a good nights sleep anymore, sometimes I think I’m suffering from insomnia but I’ll just add that to my list of ailments 

I’ve got to start work in a little over four hours and I’ve been lying here for hours 

can you sleep ok or is it something we all suffer with

Best wishes

Hi Vonn 

Its nice to hear from you I’m really pleased that Andy is coping ok my only problem is I can’t lie down At all especially after eating, but as I say to everyone else it’s certainly better than the alternative 

Best wishes to you both

Hi Paly it’s nice to know that people have the same symptoms sometimes I think after 4 yrs u should be over the symptoms but no I sleep sitting  and no if I’m honest don’t sleep alnightt  and always in the back of my mind the reflux I had a attack 3 wks ago and them on Monday had to have the day of work had a upset stomach for 2 days now so hopefully tomorrow I will. Be back to normal it does take it out of me thank u for replying 

Hi Gin 

I had my 6 monthly review to with the upper GI CNS Team and I hate to be the bearer of bad news but I was told the cough/acid reflux and not being able to lie down to sleep is for the rest of our lives so I’m afraid it’s something else to deal with oh and the dumping

Best wishes
