Help us by sharing your experience with GERD/heartburn
Hi B-better fam!This question is specially for everyone with GERD (heartburn or similar symptoms).
To give better advice I am trying to find out what are the biggest problems you run into.
Like:
– How does it affect you socially? For example: is having dinner still a ‘pleasurable’ experience? Or do you avoid eating with friends?– Does heartburn influence your sleep quality a lot? And if so, what personal remedies do you use?
– Does it influence your work life? For example: when heartburn happens, are you able to do your job like you want to?
What problems (besides the symptoms) do you run into? The more details, the better!
Sharing your experience will not only help us, but by sharing your personal experiences & tips you will directly help everyone who suffers the same on the platform as well!
Happy Monday
Daniel

OH GOSH
– How does it affect you socially? For example: is having dinner still a ‘pleasurable’ experience? Or do you avoid eating with friends? – For a long time , I avoided going out and just being in public spaces with ANYONE. Eating out was out of the question because of this.– Does heartburn influence your sleep quality a lot? And if so, what personal remedies do you use? – Not anymore but I’m sure it did. Back in the day I used to ..chew…gum to sleep. I dont recommend it. Now I recommend eating 3 hours before going to sleep and carbs so you can last at night 😀
– Does it influence your work life? For example: when heartburn happens, are you able to do your job like you want to? Same as going out answer.
What problems (besides the symptoms) do you run into? The more details, the better!
I couldn’t make friends or have a good social life for a very long time and not just becoming a first time mom. <,< So it impacted my life for quite some time and I had no idea until it all changed and I worked on it. -
Thank you for sharing your experience I hope you by now could reduce the heartburn symptoms!
Sharing the social obstacles is very insightful and could help us share better tailored tips and advices!
Is there by the way any help right now you need on reducing your heartburn symptoms?
