GERD and alcohol consumption?This is kind of two questions..
First of all.. do you think I have GERD? I had an endoscopy done about 2 years ago and they said I had erosions in my stomach. They told me to take OTC Prilosec, and it has worked for the most part. It recently started getting terrible though, and taking antacids or pepto feels like it makes it worse. Did my erosions turn into GERD?.. Anything I eat lately causes heartburn.. it's terrible.. even drinking water. Thoughts?
My next question relates the the first. The morning after I have a few drinks, I am sick alllll day. Literally. It doesn't really matter how many drinks.. it does seem to be worse with tap beer though.. but I throw up from 3 a.m. until about 5 p.m. the next day.. probably like 2 times an hour.. and by the end of it all I am so dehydrated I dont know what to do with myself becuase I cant keep ANYTHING down. I have gone to the doctor numerous times because of this, but they just give me an IV with fluids and a medication to help with the nausea. They just seem to think I am dehydrated. I drink water before I drink and inbetween so I dont think it starts with dehydration. Do you think GERD is the cause of this sickness after drinking alcohol? Any thoughts would be appreciated.. this is getting out of control! :S

Quit drinking. Full stop.
I was an alcoholic with IBS. I quit - the pain isn't worth it.
You need to take s/thing to line your stomach.
