Hi everyone,
Okay. So. I have bursitis that I was taking a lot of Aleve for... and I developed an ulcer/hyperacidic stomach from it. For that, my doctor put me on Prilosec. I took the Prilosec for about a week and then when I stopped taking it I developed GERD (self diagnosis; I understand it's a common rebound effect of the Prilosec?). During this time I was also taking Tramadol as needed for the bursitis, and I was also prescribed Celebrex, which made me bleed (bloody stools), "perhaps from an ulcer" according to my doctor.

I am not visibly bleeding anymore but I am in PAIN.

Symptoms: stomach pain and cramps, burping, shortness of breath, yawning, flatulence, sore throat, coughing. Your classic case of GERD - I assume.

My questions are as follows:
1. Can Marijuana use cause/exacerbate GERD?
2. Does anybody know of home remedies for GERD that are both safe for ulcers AND safe for GERD as I probably have both?
3. Is eating MJ better than smoking MJ for this condition?

Anybody with personal experience, please advise! I don't want to tell my doctor about my use due to the laws in my state.
