[YEA] 04/03/2007: Jorge from New York , US: "There was time when acid reflux took over my life and literally I end up sitting in the back of an ambulance rushed to a nearest hospital for breathing problems due to acid reflux. One time a friend of mine suggested aloe vera and papaya and thanks to that I in a matter of days all my symptoms entirely disappeared. If you are suffering from acid reflux on a very severe case like I did, you might want to consider this other option. So here is the magic recipe:
1 leaf aloe Vera
1 papaya (ripe)
2 cups Orange Juice
and ice.
So the whole thing is basically prepared as a really healthy smoothie. cut two inches of the aloe vera lea and scoop the gel from inside into the blender (DO NOT USE THE GREEN LEAF ONLY THE GEL) Then cut a slide or two of the beautiful ripe papaya into the blender add orange juice and enough ice so the whole mixture will take the smoothie consistency. Drink two or three times a week and the results can be seen almost immediately. If aloe Vera cures severe second degree burns imagine how great will do inside your stomach. I was reading about the properties of these two amazing "titana" yes that's how I call aloe Vera and Papaya. Papaya has a an enzyme that also helps digestion but combined with aloe vera is like having Superman and Batman at your call. Good luck"
[YEA] 01/17/2007: Ted from Los Angeles, CA: "I achieved instant relief from acid reflux and all indigestion in the Philippines. The small papayas, even a small slice, would do it. Some of the small Papayas from Hawaii are good but the Mexican variety we get in L. A. will not work."

[YEA] 09/02/2006: Joanne from Littleton, MA: "One night after being awaken by a throat full of "acid", I decided to try eating a pear to cool down my burning throat and discovered that eating just a few bits, I know longer felt any burning or pain."

[WARNING!] 03/01/2010: Priya from Perth, Wa: "Hi, Just want to let you know that peppermint does give temporary relief BUT is a DEFINITE NO NO in the long run for all people who have reflux...it will surely make things worse after few months. It over-relaxes ur muscles and gives a temp. relief...but make things much worse. So do not consume on regular basis."
[WORKED TEMPORARILY] 11/30/2008: Gregory from Royal Oak, MI: "Peppermint! I have had Acid Reflux now for 6 years and tried medicine, which doesnt work, apple cider vinegar, which made me vomit, and all sorts of remedies. I tried a lifesaver peppermint and it temporarilly helps me stomach settle! Not a cure, and not sure if it will help you, but why not give it a try?
Directions: Simply eat one or two peppermints
Peppermint cured my burning throat pain for the night, however it doesn't end acid reflux either. I carry a bag of peppermints in my room when I get attacks."

[YEA] 02/18/2009: Siong from Singapore: "For some acid reflux could be cured by chewing and eating raw "Petai" a foul smellingseed - see Net search. I chewed and eat petai for one month as advised. Now my stomach could take alcohol and hot peppers without giving me burns."

[YEA] 07/21/2011: Loretta from Ofallon, Il.: "MY HUSBAND HAD A BAD CASE OF ACID REFLUX , HE TOOK ROLAID MORNING , NOON AND NIGHT AND IN BETWEEN UNTIL THEY TOOK IT OFF THE MARKET. HE STARTED SIPPING A LITTLE PICKLE JUICE IN THE MORNING AND TOOK TWO BABY PICKLE TO WORK WITH HIM AND THEN A SIP AFTER SUPPER. IT REALLY CURED HIS PROBLEM. I'M SO GLAD I FOUND THIS WEB SITE. THANK YOU SO MUCH."
Replies[NAY] 08/08/2011: Shiran from London, England replies: "I read all the positive comments here and went straight out to get some pickles. Unfortunately, soon after eating a pickle with a few spoons of juice my symptoms got quickly and markedly worse. So I'm really glad some of you guys have had such great results from something so simple, but I guess I may have a different problem. Are there some people who actually DO have too much acid that is causing these problems? I've started on plant enzymes and priobiotics."
[YEA] 05/25/2012: Cassandra from Utopia, Canada, Ontario replies: "This really worked for me as well. Usually, I wake up with acid reflux and it continues through my day to the point that I get sick 2-3 times before I sleep. I drink Gavisgon and I chew the tums smoothies and they dont work for me. Eating plain foods like boiled broccolli and chicken breasts help the feeling of my acid reflux and sometimes it helps prevent the pain as well. This morning I woke up with really bad acid pains to the point where eating my food was making me nauseaus. I ate a pickle and drank a couple mouothfuls of pickle juice and it totally took my pain away! I definatly recommend everyone try this, because I suffer from really bad Acid Reflux pains, and this worked like a miracle! Don't spend your money on temporary relief stuff, this works way better!"
05/28/2012: Mama T from Sparks, Nv replies: "Pickle juice is an acid. Years ago I was having severe acid reflux and would not try over the counter stuff. I went to our local health store and I learned a wonderful lesson that BIG PHARMICA doesn't want you to know. When you have acid reflux it is caused because you don't have enough acid! They want to sell you the band aids, the prescriptions. The clerk told me that as we age or if we have poor diets (not enough fermented foods) our stomach does not have enough acid when we eat. So the food goes in and the body reacts by producing acid to digest the food, after the food is in the belly, so the acid goes on top of the food, causing a reflux of too much acid, too late. What he told me I needed was to increase my acid before I eat so that the acid is there under the food in the belly. This information was contrary to what we learn on TV or magazines. He was so certain, he opened a bottle and gave me a handful of HCL hydrocloric acid capsules for free to try this out. There was enough for about 8 days. He said if it works, which he assured me it would, I could come back and buy the bottle. He said take one or two before each meal. I did, and I did come back and buy the bottle because it worked! I asked him how I know when it is enough. He said you can tell when you have balanced your acid when it starts to burn after the meal. You'll know. After a couple weeks I stopped taking them for a time until I need to do it again, which was quite a while. So, you see, eating a pickle before is increasing the acid in your belly. I also drink the apple cider vinegar daily when I get up in the morning. I have done this for years. It helps with your overall ph balance.This year I got acid reflux even though I drink the vinegar. When I took the HCL it didn't work. I was burning up! I realized I had become too acidic! I quit taking the apple cider vinegar for a while, drank some club soda. I had to bear thru this for a couple weeks to balance out. I do have the saliva test strips for testing my spit first thing in the morning. I just thought that the vinegar was good. I guess it can become too much of a good thing. Now I don't drink the vinegar as often. I hope this helps turn your acid reflux upside down!"
[YEA] 12/26/2010: Courtney from Rockford, Il: "I am a 19 year old female and just found out I have acid reflux. I went to the hospital one night because I just couldnt take the pain anymore. Nothing was working. I was put on medication and it worked. Then my perscription ran out. Now my pain has come back. I just tried pickle juice and it helped a lot. I can lay in bed the way I want to. I can walk and do the normal every day things. Thank so much Eirth clinic!!!!!! "
Replies[YEA] 04/12/2011: Kim from Columbus, Oh replies: "I woke up at 3 am with awful heartburn. I never suffer from Acid Reflux so I was a bit alarmed. Tried to go back to sleep but it would not go away. At 4 am I got online and saw something about eating bananas... Tried it... It helped a bit so I could sleep... But I woke up at 7am with the reflux again... Took zantac, tums... Nothing seemed to help... Found this site about pickles and had to give it a try as I was about to call Dr. Opened a jar of Claussen dill pickles and poured a 1/2 cup... And took a pickle to nibble as I was not sure I could handle the juice. It really wasn't that bad... And it helped almost immediately... So much so that I decided I could have a second round of juice and another pickle.. I have no idea how or why this works... But hey... Whatever works! :)"
[YEA] 12/01/2010: Pye from Spokane, Washington Usa: "I can't believe how FAST and well this worked!!!! I've been on Prilosec OTC and it seems to have stopped working the last month or so. After I woke up gasping for breath after having aspirated regurgitated stomach acid while I slept (absolutely NOTHING scarier) I turned to the NET and found this site. I had no ACV and was snowed in at the time so couldn't go get any, but I DID have a couple of jars of pickles in the pantry. Incredible but true - after downing about 1 oz of the pickle juice from the jar of sweet pickles (gherkins, in about a half hour I wasn't feeling the acid coming up anymore. Last night I did the same again before bed and actually had the first restful sleep I've had in ages, with NO acid coming up into my throat. Thank you, thank you."
[YEA] 12/08/2009: Toni2201 from Detroit, Mi: "For the past three nights i have woken up at around 2am on the dot, with a burning sensation in my throat, i know something was up, so i stumbled upon this website, and the pickle juice remedy.
I love pickles and the juice that is left after they are gone, so i easily downed about half a cup, and almost immediately i felt relieved, i feel nothing in my throat right now, and i can go back to sleep now...thanks for the wonderful remedy, now im gonna go give my wife a nice big pickle juice breath remedy kiss..i hope she enjoys..."
[YEA] 11/23/2009: Josh from Los Angeles, Ca: "I have had Acid Reflux for years. One quick fix that works for me is pickle juice. I just buy a jar of pickles from the store and when I have a bad acid attack I drink the juice from the jar. About 1/2 cup should work depending on how bad your have it at the time. It's a quick temporary fix but it works very fast. Do not get the "Zesty" pickles or any that have peppers. I made that mistake by not reading that label or looking at the bottom of the jar before I bought them. The peppers make things worse. There seems to be a common trend here with vinegar based products. Remember it's the juice, not the pickles."
Replies01/16/2010: Chieko from Albuquerque, Nm replies: "First I try vinegar. If that doesn't work, then the pickle juice. I feel the salinity of the pickle juice contributes to its effectiveness. Also works for me is pickled hot pepper juice (capsaicin is a natural anti-inflammatory), and the juice from pickled ginger (another anti-inflammatory long known for its gastrointestinal benefits). If the reflux is bad, I may have to do all of the above to get relief."
[YEA] 10/10/2009: Enjoyeroflifenstuff from Martinsville, In, USA: "Hi, im 22 and have had acid reflux most of my life and have ALWAYS had to watch what i eat. But, after it clears up for a while ill slip and eat something to set it off again. So, tonight, it's 3:30 in the morning and im extremely pissed at myself for having chocolate cake and coffee earlier, first time for both in a few months. haha, now im dealing with what feels like chemical burns at the base of my throat. I've never done anything about it except sip on water while standing for a few hours, yes it's honestly terrible. but ive learned to accept it as a part of life, until now, this defining and sure to be remembered moment in my life.... pickle juice. i read it about fifteen minutes ago, paced around the house for about five, and then with a trembling hand downed 1/2 a cup of vlassic's finest. and now after my stomachs settled (somewhat), i can honestly say i do believe it worked. or at least eased it considerably. finally, something. thank you."
Replies[YEA] 05/24/2011: Asdf from Tucson, Az replies: "I completly understand what you mean by the whole "pacing for a couple of hours just drinking water" as im actually doing right now as my reflux is literally burning my throat up in flames. I took a little sip of pickle juice and it settled a little so im just gonna take my happy butt to the refrigerator and drink some more."
[YEA] 08/22/2009: Athena from Santa Fe, Nm: "My husband asked me to write to your great website to let others know what works for him. He was prescribed two Omeprazole caps per day for his long-standing acid reflux, but since he started eating one or two whole kosher dill pickles in the evening, he hasn't had to take any Omeprazole caps! I know that others have had success with pickle juice. Thanks for this extremely helpful site!"
[YEA] 07/29/2009: Hampton from Tampa, FL: "Just to let everyone know... I didn't think it would help but after suffering for almost 3 hours, I went to the deli in my work complex and they poured me about 4oz of pickle juice and it worked like a charm. I'm definitely going to buy a jar today!"
