Heartburn... PLEASE BE CAREFUL.

in an earlier post i saw a few girls complaining about heart burn. Girls i know this is something very common and we all know certain foods can aggrivate ur tummy so if you eat those food and u get heartburn then no worries...
BUT
If it is something constant for you and it is something that occurs on a daily basis pleeeeeeeeease get urself checked out. Go to a gasto. and tell him ur symptoms.

My hubby has been having heartburn issues for a while and i finally made him go to the doc. I thought that it was a terrible sign when he would wake up inthe middle of the night (numerous times) to take tums or something to sooth his burning. So the results of his endoscopy were nto that great. His stomach is fine but his esophagus is not so great. he has about 15 ulcers around his esoph. Now he is a strict diet and meds and we have to go back in 6 months to see if it has improved at all. My poor hubby is ok physically but his mood has been very blah since Sat. I mean it just takes getting used to but it still stinks that his esoph. looks like it went to war and back and that it can only get worse if he is not careful.

Anyhoo.. i just wanted to give u girls a headsup if it is something that u suffer from.
Also although tums are considered harmless taking them in excess can be bad for u..... somethign about the calcium and stuff.( the doc said this not me)
