Well, that is very possible. Also if you have an empty tummy pretty much Crystal light things have some acid in them to give them the sweet-tart fruit taste. That could be aggravating you.

quote: ORIGINAL: MissImmortalPain No one brought this up but for those that do not know...if you take to much of an antacid it will have a worse effect on you than had you not taken it at all. True--and it's also important to be sure that the antacid you've taken does not interact with any other over the counter and/or prescription meds.

I would bet you have GERD. If so you really should be talking to a dr and getting medication. Mylanta, Maalox, whatever isn't going to help. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth/PMH0001311/

quote: ORIGINAL: Toppingfrmbottom I'll have to try some others out. I took tegament, and it did zero for the heart burn but we do have other kinds out there yes. and for a while there when I was 16 I did have to go on prescription stuff cause I was always having heartburn, irregardless to what I did or didn't eat, and somedays I get heart burn and the only thing I've eaten around the time of burn is a bell pepper. Somedays I haven't eaten at all and I have heart burn. I will have to mention it to her, I haven't because usually all they say is loose weight, change your eating habits and elevate the head of your bed, none of which is helpful when you're getting heart burn and you haven't eaten anything. They might have a point with the eating habits and losing weight, you know when you aggravated some internal organs (gall bladder for example) it doesn't take much to kick it off, not having eaten might result in too much acid, which can cause the heartburn. Try and eat oats first thing in the morning, don't use too much sugar, you're better off with just a spoon full of honey. The meds are a short time help - if they help (which they often don't seem to do) they will not take care of the root of the problem. When my gall bladder kicks off because I ate something that doesn't agree with it, it's weeks until everything is normal again and months later it can kick off with stuff that I usually don't have a problem with. I know that anything from Burger King or KFC will result in me not being able to eat for example bell peppers, broccoli or cheese. To change it and go back to a healthier digestion, it's not done with changing your eating habits for a day or maybe a week or two, it takes a longer time for the body to go back to normal, i.e. not producing too much acid.

At one point I was suffering from heartburn every single day no matter what I ate. I spoke with a specialist and he recommended going to a low-fat, low-carb, low-gluten/gluten-free diet. I was skeptical, but I was in so much pain I was willing to try it. Within about 2 weeks my pain was gone! Right now I am doing Weight Watchers PointsPlus and keeping with the low-gluten diet and my body has never been happier [:)]

One time I was getting bad heart burn after exercising, and I had not eaten anything or drank anything other than plain water, and the dr I had at the time told me it was going to happen because I was so fat. She was completely dismissive of my concern. I got a different dr now and she's so much better a dr than my old dr. She doesn't make me feel like I am a pest for having questions or that it's an imposition to speak to me when I have concerns like the old dr did. I've got a call into her to speak about my heart burn and the occasional acid I am spitting up. I'll have to ask her about the heart burn even when I am not eating and have only drank water. Glad to hear your body is so happy with you:) quote: ORIGINAL: siamsa24 At one point I was suffering from heartburn every single day no matter what I ate.

my ex-wife was/is fat-- she had frequent problems with reflux, gas, and occasionally, gall bladder issues. There were a number of things that she needed to do to address them--and when she didn't, the symptoms/results were noticeable. 1. Exercise exercise, but get into exercise slowly...she would sometimes get overzealous and do too much, too soon. Which usually resulted in her stopping exercise entirely. A short, leisurely walk after dinner was a good way to start. 2. Eating early. We both worked late, which meant we ate late. Terrible for digestion, and a great way to gain weight. 3. Eat the right stuff...in the right amount She often made poor food choices--and ate portions too large. She was also an emotional/binge eater. 4. Meds She was taking meds that contributed to the stomach issues. Always important with pharmaceuticals to get the balance right. I'm glad, TFB that you have a doctor that you can talk to. I know that I can't exercise on an empty stomach, so I have to eat either a small light snack (fruit, power bar, yogurt etc.) an hour or so before I work out or I get sour stomach. Drinking water is a must for me, even when swimming. Acid reflux is miserable--I have several friends who suffer from it. (I've only experienced it once or twice). Hope you can find a routine and food plan that works for you and that you can begin to get your health issues under control. My best friend lost over 140 lbs on her own--no magic--just walking, portions and healthy nutrition--and all of her weight related health problems are gone.

She wants me on prilosec 24 hr. So I'll pick some up and start it. hausboy, we live in a neighbor hood where most every neighbor on the street has dogs an they all bark like mad when I walk by an I just smile and say to them you're just jelous I'm on this side of the fence and your not.

siamsa24 -> RE: Why does mylanta sometimes agrivate indigestion, gas, bloating an cause nasia? (8/18/2011 3:53:41 AM)
Is that an excuse as to why you can't walk? Because your neighbors' dogs bark at you? I'm not trying to be mean here, but it seems like you can come up with all kinds of excuses for eating poorly and not taking care of yourself, but then you want to complain when you have pain and discomfort. Your previous doctor gave you advice, you didn't like the advice so you found a new doctor. I totally understand getting a second opinion, but at a certain point you have to take responsibility for your own health. That means eating healthy and exercising.

No, it's a cute antidote about going walking in the evening that makes me smile remembering it. quote: ORIGINAL: siamsa24 Is that an excuse as to why you can't walk? Because your neighbors' dogs bark at you?

No, it's a cute antidote about going walking in the evening that makes me smile remembering it. And I got a new dr because the other one made me feel bad every time I tried to talk to her. There'd be times I'd talk to her about a health issue I was having and she'd say ewww gross man and would embarrass me for telling her that. And it wasn't even gross stuff, I was telling her I was so congested in one nostril I had to hack and snort snot out from my my nasal passages before I could breath. She was also riding my ass all the time about loose weight, loose weight get more exercise, then when I did start exercising and what was un beknownst to us at the time was a pinched nerve caused me some serious pain, so I called and told her I am always in pain, I have leg weakness and loss of mobility to where I am falling down for no apparent reason, she said of course you're in pain, you're to fat to exercise safely, there wasjust no way I could be this fat* 300 pounds* and exercise safely with out pain. She told me to go on a very strict low calorie diet of 1 k a day do no exercise at all the weight would melt off, and then I'd be fit to exercise. Which two personal trainers and nutritionists one, of them from a gym I was going to, told me was bad advise and she was basically telling me in correct and unsafe information, Which was stupid, because you get plenty of people fatter than me, and they exercise safely . She didn't want to look beyond my weight for pain reasons, and would of completely missed the fact I have a disk bulging out in my lower spine that is pushing on a nerve AND THAT, is what was causing the severe pain. My new dr heard about my pain and my issue with loosing my balance and ordered an MRI and promptly found the slipped disk. If I had stayed with the other dr, to this day the slipped disk and pinched nerve would of gone un detected, and my pain levels wouldn't be under management when I had really bad flair ups. Which due to this dr's efficient care, when I do get really bad flair ups, or like the time I did something to the muscle that covers the hip and had to have a pain injection into the hip to be able to function, they are being managed. So, would you stick with a dr that embarrassed you, telling you that was gross don't tell me that and ignored that you were in continual constant pain to the levels of beyond a 10 and were loosing mobility and didn't take the time to listen to a patient in pain and always brushed them off? Damned strait I got a new dr, and not just cause she said I was fat and would get heart burn from exercising, because she was a bad fit for me and made me feel embarrassed and bad when I talked to her about things, she's a dr for crying out loud and saying you're so plugged up nasially you can't breath till you hack the congestion in your nose out , shouldn't make her say that's gross don't tell me that. quote: ORIGINAL: siamsa24 Is that an excuse as to why you can't walk?

hi TFB I thought the "dog-fence" story was cute! You're absolutely correct. No patient should feel belittled by their physician. I find it deplorable that any doctor would be so unprofessional and insensitive to his/her patients. But then again, bedside manner is not something that can be taught--it's like teaching compassion. Either you get it...or you don't. I swear, there are some doctors that should just stay in research because they lack people skills. look, even if you drive your doctor crazy with a bunch of questions (not saying you do--being hypothetical here)...gross him out with a festering wound....annoy him by calling him after-hours when it's "nothing".... a good doctor will understand and be patient. My own current physician has really turned out to be a good doctor for me. I ask a LOT of questions when I go to the doctor, and I will take notes...bring someone with me if it's something serious....and I do not let my doctor go until I feel comfortable I understand all of my options. I was having back pain that woke me up a few months back-- it presented in such a way that I was nervous it wasn't "nothing." I worked myself up over it because I had just turned 41, the same age as my former Medic partner (he died of a sudden coronary--his symptoms? back pain.same presentation.) So I told my doctor my symptoms--he told me that normally, he would not order an EKG and an x-ray on someone so young with no history--it was probably muscular. I told him that I couldn't stop worrying about it after what happened to my friend and partner--and to my surprise, he ordered both to be done immediately. He told me--"I don't really think you need it, but if it will make you feel and put your mind at ease, it can't hurt." Most doctors I know would have just dismissed me as neurotic. I really appreciated that he listened to me and understood that sometimes, an emotional band aid is just as important as a physical one. He's a keeper....

Hause, one time a medication I was on had made me so sick and woozy I wasn't able to get on the exam table with out worry of loosing my balance, I was on the floor in a corner leaned against a cabnit, she came in an asked if I could get on the table , I said no, this medication I am on is making me really wobbly and likely to tip over with out notice. She did the exam on the floor crouched down next to me. She's a wonderful dr, so responsive to concerns and pains. When she does stuff that hurts really bad like freeze the warts on my fingers, she talks to me to distract me from the pain, Tells me she's sorry she's hurting me,and then tells me I did a great job sitting through it.

hausboy -> RE: Why does mylanta sometimes agrivate indigestion, gas, bloating an cause nasia? (8/18/2011 8:57:45 PM)
And that's a keeper! Glad you found a good doctor to work with. The plastic surgeon who reconstructed my chest--example of an excellent, skilled surgeon, but horrible bedside manner. He was taking out my surgical drains, an experience which can range from very painful to incredibly unpleasant. Anyway, he was literally in the middle of the procedure when his cell rings. He answers it....and I realize he's talking to the dealership of his new car....WHILE he's pulling out the surgical drains. When he was done with his call...and the drains...I said to him: "What color is our car?" He looked at me and said...."it's maroon...what do you mean by "our" car? Sez me: "I just fucking paid for half of it." Says him: "plastic surgery is expensive." Says me: "compassion is free."

Toppingfrmbottom -> RE: Why does mylanta sometimes agrivate indigestion, gas, bloating an cause nasia? (8/18/2011 10:22:39 PM)
Oh wow, that's terrible bedside manner. One dr asked me about my living situation and what I do for a living when I said I'm on ssi and I live with my parents and pay them rent she said I needed to stop mooching off my parents move out get a job and make something of myself. Which wasn't her place to say or her buisness too. On top of that she was rough in her exam of the limpoma she was examining. Another dr a gyno dr was so rough my vagina hurt and walking was painful. Both times I should have made a complaint I suppose but just high tailed it out of their office as soon as I could. So I'm loving my new dr and hope she'll be my dr for a long time. The bad ones make the good ones that much more precious.

The bottom line is that you are not healthy. The commercial products out there are designed to be used when generally healthy people are experiencing an occasional bout of heartburn, indigestion, etc. and not to resolve gastrointestinal issues for someone who is unhealthy. You have made comments in past posts that you "sometimes" eat healthy. But how do you define eating healthy? I hope you will admit to yourself that the only way you're going to help your health is to lose weight and change your dietary lifestyle and physical activity level as a full-time change and not something you do part of the time.
