Hi there, been having problems with food related reflux and gas right after eating. pretty painful on both ends.
Have been using wheatgrass powder with supplemented probiotics which only calmed the issue up until now. Just today I've taken several capsules of coconut oil, and have had no reflux from eating food+ hardly no gas or flatulation today, yea!
I will continue to drink wheat grass powder and supplement probiotics since I consider them to be a part of the cornerstone of my improving health, just wanted to throw my new personal discovery out there, try it... see if it helps.
Thanks.

I started taking coconut oil after reading all the great health benefits about it. One of the first things it cured was acid reflux! I recommended it to my friend with GERD and she found it very helpful too.

Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO) takes some getting used to for a lot of people. It feels a little odd going down. I had no problem. See how it goes first and perhaps work up from a small amount. For a theraputic dose, I take 3 tablespoons per day. I spread it out to three doses of 1 tablespoon - morning, afternoon and night.

Extra virgin coconut oil is the only thing that cured my acid reflux. I tried everything including tums and apple cider vinegar. The only side effect is that you will drop about 10 pounds in a month and I think the majority of people might like that. It's been about three weeks since I've taken the coconut oil and so far no sign of the acid reflux.

I started using Coconut oil about three days ago for my heartburn. I did my own test by specifically eating the foods that causes me heartburn and to my amazement I can honestly say it really works! Next I am going to try it for weight loss and see how that works out.

I'd been having terrible heartburn for over a week. So bad that that my kids and husband were very worried. A few years ago I had six ulcers! But didn't want to start the standard gastro treatments lansoprazole or purple pills - I'm well aware of the downsides to them. My gastric problem was probably caused by my ADHD, I frequently forget to eat because I get so hyperfocused I don't notice I'm hungry!So, I went looking for a homeopathic cure and found your website. I read a whole bunch of stuff and probably confused one thing with another nevertheless this is what happened: I made the ACV mixture adding the Baking Soda also 2 tbsp Aloe juice; 1 tbsp of organic honey; 1 tbsp of Virgin Coconut Oil (using warm water, which melts the honey and VCO). I tried with and without the VCO and for those who find the ACV drink unpalatable the VCO helps alot! The heartburn stopped in 24 hours! Major miracle. I felt focused, relaxed, energetic and pain free. The only side effect of note was/is gas. Is this from the Virgin Coconut Oil? Is there anything I can do about that? And is it OK to blend all this together? Should I be drinking it before or after or with a meal? I don't know about the other magical effects of Virgin Coconut Oil its only been 2 days! Thanks for this great site, its already helped me a lot!

I am still observing its effect: Taking Virgin Coconut Oil after meal (1TB after every meal = 3x daily) appears to relieve the production of phlegm associated with gastric reflux. I take my last one an hour before going to bed, and wakes up in better condition than when not taking it. Please note that the coconut oil has to be cold-pressed process, hence, it's called Virgin Coconut Oil, which also lowers cholesterol and boosts immunity. DO NOT consume non-virgin coco oil--that will clog your arteries!
