Do you get acid reflux with Crohn’s Disease?

As of about a year now, I’ve had this awkward problem that keeps coming up. It’s not exactly acid reflux in that I eat and then it burns my esophagus, but it’s more that my upper upper stomach area gets VERY tight and tense.

It’s not even all that painful, just really tight and I get massive indigestion (get bloated and all). And, yes, when I burp I do get reflux…

SOMETIMES, I also get a slight “pin” type pain in the upper right or left region.

This pay May when I got it again, I had a new GI at that time and he was the one that pointed out it was most likely gastric reflux, he had me start over-the-counter Prilosec. Guess what? It took care of it!

And, I’ve been on it since, however, recently it all came back (and a bit worst than before). So, now the doc also added Zantac 75 at night…

Do any of you get this?
