Anxiety-induced gastroesophageal reflux...
Posted , 2 users are following.
Hello, my name is Deregue, I am 20 years old, and I wanted to talk to people who have already been through this situation, hoping to satisfy some doubts (Sorry for bad English, my first language is Portuguese) ...
Anyway, due to all this Covid-19 thing, I have been having problems with my anxiety, (I was in a good phase of my life, I was managing to deal with anxiety well, however, being quarantined ended up harming me a lot), too I went through a period of terrible eating habits, eating a lot of unhealthy things ... the real problem is: for about a week, I have been feeling nauseous and heartburn (mainly during the night), on Sunday I decided to change my diet, following a menu suggested by health sites, which say they are good choices for those who have gastroesophageal reflux (I've been eating only white meat, fruits like apples, bananas and papayas when I feel hungry, also drinking lots of water)... having said all this I wanted to ask a few questions and observations:
• How long does it take for the diet to start taking effect? I already feel a slight improvement, but I still don't feel 100% (I thought that at this point i would be feeling better)
• My stools are yellow, does this have anything to do with it?
• How long can this heartburn attack last? (I want my normal stomach back!! hahaha)
• I have been having some anxiety attacks (especially when i overthink about this nausea, things like "i will never get better from this s**t") sometimes I think it is more a psychological factor than a physical one (since I haven't been vomiting, nor diarrhea ... just nausea and heartburn)
• At the moment I don't want to look for doctors, we are in a difficult period due to the pandemic in my country (I live in Brazil)
Anyway, thank you very much to those who take the time to help a brother ... Peace

hi deregue, i will try again to reply to your post i have tried 5/6 times since you posted this. right firstly i have no knowledge of what you're doing with your diet, you have changed so you have to hope that helps, how long it will take to work only a doctor or dietician will tell you. the bright yellow poo could be all the fat coming out of what you did eat before, the acid is because you have swapped diet but anxiety can cause this too. if you need your doctor phone and ask to speak to someone, you may not see someone but might be able to speak on the phone. the world are stuck at the moment but life has not stopped everything has kept going. try these things, the diet might help try it for a while..... let me know how you are doing
