Persistent Stomach Upset & Heartburn: Causes & Relief


Question
Whenever I eat anything (the type of food doesn't seem to matter) I feel sick to my stomach.  If I drink some water afterward and sit down quietly for awhile, usually about a half hour or so, then the feeling goes away.

also, I have horrible heart burn.  Well, what I believe is heart burn.  I get a really strong acidic taste in my throat and it's worse when I lie down.  Some days I am eating Tums like they are candy.  every half hour to hour so the heart burn symptoms will lessen some.  They never go away completely.  my mom thinks I might have acid reflux or something.

Answer
you may have gallstones.... so, I would take zantac 150 mg twice a day, no alcohol, light evening meals and if it doesn't get better in a week, you need to see a doctor.... also, get a bottle of liquid Gaviscon and try some of that to relieve the heartburn symptoms in addition to the zantac
