If you use apple cider vinegar, be sure to use the kind with the "mother" in it - the cloudy stuff that drifts to the bottom. If I have a symptom I find it works - and I add a tsp. of honey. Also, use a good digestive enzyme with first bite of food and a probiotic each day. Don't eat fatty foods and avoid wheat and dairy. Get adequate sleep and exercise a bit. These measures can be difficult but it's absolutely worth it. I don't have to take the worthless and dangerous meds and haven't had heartburn for months. (My doc says it's okay unless my bi-annual scope tests shows further damage -- which they haven't. )Replied By Richard De (Ma.) on 05/28/2015
Hi guys, been reading all problems of acid reflux and its damage to the esophagus plus stomach problems. In my case, I was diagnosed with chrons with highly agitated esophagus. I was prescribed meds which did not work. After 1 year of constant problems and hospitalization I decided to change my diet and started taking anti inflammatory liquids and vitamins. In my case I found probiotics early a.m. plus aloe vera was the best route. After 6 years, I have not any serious problems. I hope this helps someone.
