Does anyone else experience heartburn flare ups right before and or during their periods? It seems like my usual methods of taking antacids is not really doing the trick. I am on prescription Zantac. But it seems like during this period it is a bit much! Anyone get this? And what have you tried that actually works to relieve it. It seems to me that when I get heartburn during my cycle it is different from just getting heartburn after something I've eaten. I don't know if I'm making any sense but it's like it'll start leading up to my period and no matter what I eat I'll still feel the burn. But when I am not on my cycle, and I eat something that could trigge it, it is easily squelched by an antacid. Ugh! Another peri symptom to wrrestle with!
Yes I had that for 4 continuous months. It has eased now. I think it just takes it time then disappears. It's really horrible I know. Take care
Thanks Michelle!
Yes, food sensitivies is a big one to deal with. I had a similar situation but I found the culprit, I couldn't eat anything with pepper or heavy spices in my food. So I eliminated the pepper/spices and m heartburn was gone but it took me about a year to get over not having spice in my food.
OMG yes! I just started on medication yesterday for it. That combined with regular menstrual cramping, sore breasts, and gas pain from the acid reflux have left me feeling like I'm falling apart. I am worrying about every thing I'm feeling and becoming a bit of a hypochondriac. I am hating every minute of this.
