Ive recently been on a large dose of antibiotics and steroids. I have recently had issues with gerd. Is there a link. I never had gerd before this to my knowledge. There was a small hernia located in a ct scan recently that I wasn t even aware of until this.
Hi, Yes, antibiotics and steroids can cause gastritis and reflux symptoms and can also aggravate peptic ulcer. Acid secretion should be reduced with proton pump inhibitors like omeprazole. These Chat Doctor.  Continue to sleep on left since it is the appropriate for reflux problems. Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
