I am having a horrible gerd flare up and it's hard to keep any weight on due to not being able to eat as much or often. I'm down to 97 lbs from 101. I don't wanna lose any more. And suggestions?

    and what are you and your doctor doing about the flares?
    until I was under a dr's care, it didn't matter what I ate during a flare. I was miserable

    best bet, search nutrient dense foods and fit as many of those in your diet as possible
    reduce stress
    consider ginger to help manage some of the stomach acid

    I'm on Zantac twice a day and she put me on align once a day. I'm able to eat a little more than I was but still not to much at one time. Lost my appetite for a week or so but that's starting to come back slowly as well. I get burning in my stomach after eating and horrible burping. I'm thinking about maybe switching to pepcid and seeing if that helps. Could the burning be from stomach inflammation?
