No thankfully, it was just the regular flu. I told him that I had heartburn and that I can't eat anything and he just kept going. I have another apointment with a different dr today hopefully I'll get some better answers
Hi and welcome to the GERD forum.
I am not sure y , but soooooo many after having the flu have been saying exactly the same thing.
Did he listen to the account of heartburn??
Make an appt with a GI dr and in the meantime ask ur Pharmacist about OTC meds like prilosec, or pepcid.
Please also read the lists of foods to avoid and lifestyle changes that aid the meds.......
The flu can be very devestating to our bodies......and I feel u need to be checked by a GI dr.
Was it the swine flu strain H1N1??
