Forum: Reflux and GI Issues in Adults

I have way bi ger stuff on my mind right now with th RP but since I was in yesterday (and I pretty much have had it with the constipation) I asked the dr. about it. I explained that PG it is always an issues for me and I took pericolace, but that it never got better and I thought ok maybe because I was still BF but that now I'm not anymore and it still isn't any better.
