Embarresing problem

[Guest]

About a month ago,I had a very hard time moving my bowels,no matter

how much I strained nothing would pass,there was alot of blood and

alot of pain from allt he straining,well it happened again the day

before yesterday,but this time there was alot of pain right above my

belly button and it did not go away! I also have bad acid reflux and

htought maybe it goes hand and hand,but am not sure. We’ll I decided

to go to the low income clinic here,and the doctor told me because

you came here I really dont think you want to go thru all the testing

because of how much they are and I know you can’t afford them,so I’m

going to see if its consipation and treat you for that and see if it

gets better instead of getting worse,but if it does get worse you

will have to get tested weather you can afford it or not! He told me

I also gained 10 pounds or so I was 230 and now I weigh 248. That

made me depressed,he told me that I needed to loose the weight,he

said most of my problems can be weight related,he also told me I

needed to go on a heartburn/acid reflux diet,but he didn’t write the

diet down for me so i didn’t know if that would help me with my

weight or just my heartburn situation. He told me to eats lots of

things with fiber,and to cut spicy foods and cheeses but mainly eat

more veggies and lots of fruits and drink alot! I for one love spicy

foods,onions,peppers,garlic,lemonade and cheese. I dont know what to

do or how to begin what he is suggestioning. It made me feel awful

that I gained 10 pounds,I don’t excercise,barely get out of the house

unless it is to go swimming with my son. I don’t even know what

triggers my heartburn,or making me consipated. I’m such a mess right

now,he said he wants to see me in 3 months to see if I improved.What

can I do to just start? I cant be out in the heat else my asthma send

me to the hospital. So Im kind of stuck.What do you all suggest? He

prescribed Nexium,but i thought there was a warning/recall for that

sometime ago.What do you all suggest?
