Acid Reflux ?
For over 15 years I took Nexium for acid reflux. I quit eating meat about a year ago and was able to get off Nexium. The other day I made the mistake of eating a few french fries when I met a friend at a cafe. That started D problems again. I now have the MC back under control with the help of Immodium but now everything I put in my mouth turns to gas and acid reflux. I am back to eating only the foods that I was originally able to tolerate when this all happened two months ago. I was wondering if anyone else deals with this issue. Do I need to go back to the GI and get another presciption for Nexium? Over the counter stuff has never worked for me. Boy am I learning the hard way that this is going to be a life long issue. Guess I still don't have my mind wrapped around the fact that I won't just get well. Thanks for any input. Vivian
Hi Vivian,
After the inflammation settles back down and your intestines heal a bit you should be back to where you were before the French fry incident. Unless restaurants use a dedicated fryer for their french fries, the oil is cross-contaminated with gluten from the breading of other foods fried in it.
Try taking significant doses of vitamin D. Many members find that 8,000–10,000 IU of vitamin D each day helps to prevent acid reflux.

It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.
Thank you. I do need to start taking Vit. D but have been afraid to add any more stuff. I was just so upset to revert back to acid reflux and gas. I have had it so badly in the past and hate the thought of adding that to the MC and kidney issues I am having. Guess this is punishment for getting cocky. Things were starting to go well and I foolishly thought I was going to be cured. Even though I have been reading all the older posts, it is so hard to wrap my head around this. Thanks for your help.

Basic foundation for healing and maintaining is = VitD3 and Magnesium Chelated (glycinate).
I have found it doesn't matter what else you may be taking while healing those two supplements give a person the biggest healing boost ever and should always stay in the diet no matter what else looks appealing while learning to heal.
As soon as I started taking the VitD iu and Magnesium-(either external or internal) and completely went off all dairy then my gas and reflux left almost immediately. I noticed it within a week or two.
I had to have really increased amounts of VitD and Mag in the beginning stages of healing....now almost 3 years healing and I have been able to back off to a normal daily amount of 5000 iu VitD and 400-500 Mag Glycinate this is where I feel I will stay for life unless I am presented with a stressful situation or medication need that depletes these reserves.

vit d
I have tried adding Vit D. to my diet in the form of a pill and now my D is back horribly. Could this be a reaction to Vit D? I'm really glad that Vit. D worked for you and I am hoping that the acid reflux will go away for me.
Another alternative would be sublingual sprays. I am surprised that VitD would cause a reaction in you unless you may have drank or ate something near to taking it and you are reacting to that instead. Not saying that someone can't react to VitD on the market....finding one that is Gluten, Dairy, Soy and Egg free should take care of the major allergens that most react to. I get my capsules (not tablets) from Vitacost.com and I narrow my options down to mostly free of anything I might react to. So far so good I haven't noticed anything wrong with the option I chose.
Check your ingredients....if there isn't anything in it that could cause issue then I would suspect something else, a different supplement or a protein that sneaked into my food source. I would suspect my Vit D and Magnesium to be my last suspects as I worked real hard to find ones that I could trust.
Good Luck
You can do this!
