Last night I went to sleep and about 2 hours later, I woke up choking on acid and a burning throat!!!

I have had reflux for 8 years and have NEVER had that happen. I got up and took a chug of Gaviscon and another Nexium and it stopped burning and I was able to go back to sleep. That was scary!!

FOr the past 3 nights for dinner, I have had taco filling, I wonder if that is the reason for my suffering????

Anyone else have this? It was weird for me.

No, it's just teen talk for 'that's just so obvious, ya know, ya know' No harm meant.

What is a duh mean? That I am dumb?

I had this twice and stopped eating and taking my vitamins too close to bedtime. I moved my vitamins to after bfast and lunch and no longer eat anything an hour before bedtime. No problems ever since... The two times it happened to me were awful - I had never experienced it before and then I couldn't stop coughing either.... Hope this helps

Most beef is high in fat, including the ground beef you most likely had in your taco filling. Your stomach produces extra acid to aid in digestion and the acid was not inhibited enough by PPI, I assume you have been given. Also, not sure if this is the case, it could be there was a lot of pressure due to food, on the Cardiac Sphincter. Read more here.

I use ground turkey in my taco filling. 93/7.

I also eat dinner around 6 and go to bed around 9, so there is a lot of time inbetween eating and laying down. I just think it was the spicyness of the food and salsa. It hasn't happened since, but I haven't eaten anything like that since.

Thanks.
