I have been suffering from severe gastric reflux for some years now and I have to take Ranitidine 150mg every night, and frequently have to take a dose during the day, along with antacids. I have eliminated foods that are obvious causes, but I have never like spicy foods, I don’t drink alcohol as I cannot tolerate it at all, as it makes me violently ill, so that is not a factor! It is so bad sometimes I even get heartburn when I just drink water!
I was wondering if this is another condition that is associated with Lupus, as I thought I saw some mention of it on the boards a while back.
My doctor never seems to pay much attention to it. Even when I was worried at one stage that it was the Ranitidine causing my rash. I was also worried about the long term affects of reflux and wonder what damage it is doing?
I just wondered how many others suffered with it?
