Gastritis, Helicobacter and Reflux Esophagitis

[Mirjana]

I've just been diagnosed with all of the above. I have also fell in love with diving (just recently) and have no attention of stopping it due to the above. We have approx. one fresh water dive a week.
Would anyone have any particular recommendations, suggestion for Web links or good readings on diving with the above problems?

I rarely forget top take my antacids before diving, but when I do - it's hell. Pretty common in America, as overweight as many of us are. :blush: Read about one fellow who got so much stomach acid in his lungs that he was hospitalized, but usually - it's just irriitating to the point of distracting you from your dive enjoyment - and maybe safety.
