So basically it hurts to eat anything spicy and alcohol. I can't even drink a glass of wine without it burning. I am on Prilosec and he gave me a liquid today that is suppose to be a stomach barrier and also coat the esophogus. Is reflux a bad sign? I am very concerned. It isn't a sign of slippage or anything is it? I don't believe I am too tight. What are your thoughts? I will omit spicy and wine from my diet.

i have had reflux for years....don't eat anything if you plan to lie down within an hour, especially dairy.

Not laying down for at least 30 mins and preferably an hour after eating does help some folks. Not all, though.

I'm guessing he gave you Carafatem it's a good medicine.

I'm not so sure you aren't tight, though. You mention eating 1/4 cup of food or a few bites and not being able to eat more, that's not enough for good nutrition so it leads me to wonder if you are a little too tight.
