I did it for a few days and no acid reflux. Now, I don\'t wake up with acid burning in my throat anymore. If I eat something acidic, I just make sure to drink my sugar tea.

Doctors did numerous endoscopy and declared that I\'ve small hiatus hernia and acid reflux. They put me on PPI medication and I used all sort of PPIs like protonix, omeparzole, esomeprazole etc. Nexium (esomeprazole) worked for me best. With this one I almost did not have any problem. But, I\'ve been taking it since 13 long years everyday!! The problem of these medications(chemicals) is it will kill you one day if you keep on taking it for so long. It prevents the body to absorbe the essential nutrients/minerals from the food you take. So, as a result, with prolonged use of these medicines you get other side effects like decreasing bone density and all other form of problems and gradually it will take you towards a silent death. But, no doctors will tell you these facts to you. The pharmacitucal companies warn you to take it not more than 4 months max. You have other options like surgery - but, no guarantee that will work for you and doctors will allow you to do it. In my case the doctors said surgery will not be effective for me. Also, the surgeries need to be repeated after some times if it works. Then...I started looking for alternative medicines as I was desparate to get rid of Nexium. I searched all the web sites like this one and tried homeopathic medicines, apple cider vinegar, apple etc. But, all these did not work for me. Then in this site I came to know about natural digestive enzymes and probiotics. Medicines like Nexium works by stopping the acid production in stomach - which ultimately harms the body as you need the acid in stomach to digest the food. Digestive enzymes and probiotics works on the root cause of the acid problem of the stomach. They help in digesting the food quickly/properly so the body is not required to produce excess acid thereby reducing the cause of acid reflux. I could not think of a single day without Nexium. But, since I\'ve been started using digestive enzymes and probiotics they helped me - I\'m not taking the Nexium currently as I\'m taking digestive enzymes and probiotics. My symptoms are not fully gone - but, definitely they are less with these. I believe if I do more research with these natural remedies it will help to keep this monster away. But, anyway you need to take them for ever as long as you live. But, it is better and safe to take it like food, as long as you live - and not like Nexium. So, my suggestion to all the trillions of sufferers worldwide to try your best to work out a natural solution which suites your body most and definitely try to get rid of PPI and other form of chemical medications. Try the digestive enzymes and probiotics - available in health food stores and also in pharmacies - in US. I\'ve one question though - does anybody know the side effects, problems (if any) of using digestive enzymes and probiotics for prolonged period or has anyone experienced any problem. Though these are natural products - we all know too much of everything is bad. So, I would be really interested to know this - as, if it works, I need to take it forever.

I saw miraculous results with unpasteurized sauerkraut on my friends and family who had GERD. Sauerkraut is made by mixing shredded cabbage with a tablespoon of sea salt, covering up with a cabbage leaf and leaving on the counter 3-5 days, until the cabbage is soured. Then refrigerate. Eat a tablespoon when you get acid reflux, or related stomach problems. They will disappear instantaneously. Your heartburn will vanish. Your bloating will vanish. Your stomachache will vanish.

However, I had to tweak the formula a bit. I cannot stand the taste of straight ACV so I added fresh lemon juice in equal amounts to the ACV. I used to drink a tall glass of water but found that too much water triggered the AR, especially before bedtime. Now I use apx. 6 ounces of filtered water and add 1 tbs. ACV, and 1 tbs. Lemon juice. If this mixture is too sour, just add a squirt of good quality honey. Some have mentioned adding baking soda. I never have, but if the acidity bothers you, it is worth a try. I drink the mixture throughout the day and never before bedtime. I\'ve even tried drinking it with my meals in place of other drinks. Another thing that has helped tremendously is not eating or drinking after the evening meal and at least 4 hours before bedtime. I also limit my intake of liquids while I am eating to aid digestion. I\'ve added more raw fruits and vegetables. Apples work really well. I find that these things work best whenever I feel the first twinge or feel the acid coming up in my throat.

It is very simple to see if this is all, or part, of the problem. Just eliminate all soy products from the diet for 2 weeks and see if symptoms improve. Please note that soybean oil, soy lecithin, and soy protein isolate are in a wide variety of foods, supplements, and vitamins, so it\'s very important to read labels carefully. For example, most brands of mayonaise are made with soybean oil, as are most products that contain vegetable oil or vegetable shortening. Factory-farmed eggs also contain a lot of soy, since soy protein is fed to the chickens; ditto for farmed fish. So many people must avoid these foods as well. After eliminating all soy from the diet for at least 2 weeks, deliberately eat something very high in soy content, preferably unfermented, such as soy milk. If your acid reflux symptoms return, you have your answer. As a bonus, several other health issues have resolved since eliminating soy, including a decrease in chronic arthritis pain, brain fog/short term memory issues, loose bowels, insomnia, and vitamin B and D deficiencies. After some study, I\'ve found that these are all common side effects of adult soy allergies.

Try going to 1%. If that doesn\'t work, go to 2%. 2% works fine for me. I used to think the episodes were a result of eating acidic foods (e. g., tomato sauce, etc. ), but found that consumption of non-fat dairy actually was the underlying cause that made my system intolerant of those foods. I can eat the other foods now with no problem. Be sure to read labels, because skim milk and skim milk powder can be found where you least expect. I rarely get reflux now, but can trace it back to accidental ingestion of non-fat dairy every time it happens. Hope this helps someone.

I\'m 17 years old and a male. When I was 11 I woke up one morning telling my mom I couldn\'t swallow. Felt like something sitting in the base of my throat. Right above the center of my collarbone. I went to the er they did tons of tests. Scoped my throat and said \"acid reflux\" handed me some horrible flavored pepcid tablets and sent me home. I\'ve had trouble ever since. For years it was just my throat problem. Often times not able to speak without trigger my gag reflex. Constantly feeling the sensation. Later on (around age 14) it started with heartburn. Keeping me up till 3 and 4 am everynight. I started taking tums. About 2 a day when heartburn started (this went on until I was 16). One night I had heartburn and took a tums, about 15 minutes later my heart rate jumped so high so rapidly I thought I was having a heart attack. I was rushed to the hospital. They did tests, checked my heart, sent me home. After 4 nights in a row this happening and going to the er they finally admitted me to the heart floor. After about a week in the er they scoped my throat with a camera to find I had gastritis(the weird heart rate and chest pain ended up being a bad abses tooth along with gastritis) The doctor spoke with my parents about having trouble getting the scope to go down. He said he had to use an infant scope and still had trouble getting it through(the sphincter in my throat was too tight) They put me on carafate for the gastritis which I took for a month. I finally stopped due to 2 weeks of constipation. Even with stool softeners and laxatives. After I stopped taking carafate my bowel movements changed. I still struggle with constipation and hemorroids. Now I\'m on nexium once a day. I have no heartburn but I\'m often holding my left side(mid ribcage) it sometimes is a pain often just a odd feeling. And constant belching. Sometimes I\'ll feel the sensation to belch but it feels stuck and I have to kinda force it out. If I don\'t take nexium I can barely breathe. No heartburn.. Just scary trouble breathing. But now every night I lie awake with trouble breathing.. And a feeling like all the blood has left my head. I describe it as a groggy feeling. The left side of the back of my neck always feels stiff and bothers me more when these symtoms are flaring up. I\'ve tried apple cider vinegar but heard it causes constipation and it doesn\'t help with the belching at all. I\'ve done everything I know to do. My quality of life is so bad I\'ve become depressed. I lie awake at night praying for God to send healing or some answer my way until I fall asleep from exhasution.

No need to for expensive medicines. Two things are necessary: take bicarbonate of soda, which is simple baking soda (not baking powder), and reduce your acid intake by cutting down on acid-rich foods such as alcohol, meats, fish, sugars, oils, fried foods. No need to cut these out completely, rather just cut down and take at least a level teaspoonful of baking soda daily (best in the morning) in a glass of water or juice. Oh, also drink plenty of water each day. Three quarts (liters) of water a day for adults. Sounds like a lot of water but once you start taking more water, you will crave it! Eat more vegetables which are alkaline-rich foods and very necessary for good health. Happy health! "
