Unusual symptoms of acid reflux

Posted By Nycb (Ontario, Ca) on 08/21/2012

I get a very full feeling right under my rib cage and i'm very uncomfortable most of the time. I drink ACV, it does not help, unless I'm naseaus then it helps. And I get that way OFTEN as in daily.... Sometimes I just chew on a few mints and it subsides. I really don't have the typical issues of reflux so that's why I'm asking. Also when I get that full feeling it feels really jittering in my stomach. Could I have a wheat intolorance?... Sometimes I feel like i'm a mess... Someone please help!

Nycb, why don't you "follow your haunch" and try going a week or two gluten-free, or at least wheat-free and see how you do with that?

It could be gluten intolerance, or it could also be an unhealthy gall bladder with gall stones perhaps. Drink a squeezed lemon in warm water several times daily to keep your body alkaline, and also to help the bile flush through the gall bladder. Eating beets before each meal will also help.

I have tried to go vegan and I'm on my third day.... I just cheated.... But for the last two nights no problem! .... However what I just cheated on was three pieces of cake.... so I will see how I feel tonight.

Nycb, if you "cheat", from my experience it is a sign of your body missing things. For example, a doctor told me when I crave sweets, I am missing protein. Since then, a salmon steak or an egg dish is what I go for when craving hits, and it never fails to work! I sorta think cravings are the body's signal for stuff it needs. But we have to "read" it right. That's the hard part!
