Hello, I've Had PD For Almost 2 Years. Is Anyone Suffering From Digestive Issues? I Have What Feels Like Pain In My Chest And Back.

A MyParkinsonsTeam Member asked a question đź’­

I am on meds for my Gerd, but it is not effective anymore. I had my heart checked and an upper endoscopy and the results were fine. I have very little appetite and get severe heart burn and back pain especially after eating. Also, have the same symptoms even if I don't eat. Please share if you have experienced this type of condition. Thanks very much!

ChristinaHughesRie, you just put it in your belly button? You don't eat a teaspoon? Sounds interesting.
