Besides having IBS I also have GERD. I guess with the pressure of trying to find a job and the blahs of the holiday season my stomach has been on edge a bit.But yesterday morning really scared me. I woke up in a standing position gagging on vomit that I guess I quickly swallowed down again. I know acid reflux can do this to you but this has never happened to me before and I have been off my pills for so long since my GERD has been better. I quickly filled a prescription of Prilosec that I had and started the taking them again today. But to wake out of a dead sleep gagging and choking is enough to scare any one to death. But the funny thing is my stomach felt perfect the moment I realized what had happened to me. So I guess the acid just came up my esophogus and I gagged on it.Wow, what a feeling?Have a great holiday everyone.Mark
