I read once about the enteric nervous system and how we have 90% of our serotonin receptors in the digestive system, so by cutting down on Paxil can cause an increase of acid reflux and stomach problems/ nervouseness etc. Today I took Vit B Complex 100's capsule and a vegan digestive enzyme tablet with my meal and my drugs in the morning (Seroxat 3mg and Losec 20mg) I read alesewhere that Calcium Citrate tightens the LES - surely this is all I need - to tighten the LES Please advise me, I will be forever grateful if I could be cured, I am grateful that you have listened and read my letter. And slightly jealous that others are getting some success with their GERD but I am back to square one as they say, f course I am pleased of others success as well. You can use my letter if you want on the site, Thanks again Ted, Gerald, London and Beijing.

With 110 kilo weight the body is quite acid, especially the sugar which fuels the acid reflux. Therefore, a better remedy appears that the body needs twice the bicarbonate based on the person's weight of 100 kilo. In which case the remedy appears to be closer to using a lime and baking soda remedy since it uses more bicarbonate. In which case 2 tablespoons of lime juice plus 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, in 1/2 glass of water, perhaps taken 3 times a day on an empty stomach. The reason why it's not working however appears that the body's magnesium level is already low and I would likely take (assuming I weigh 110 kilogram) at 500 mg of magnesium citrate taken 5 days out of a week, plus the lime and baking soda three times a day and a vitamin B complex taken twice a week, where 100 mg of B1, B2, B3, B5, B8 while B12 is 100 mg).
The body seems to have a low tolerance for anything acid, if it does not respond to the usual remedies, I would likely try in addition to magnesium citrate plus b complex as mentioned, the 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda plus 1/4 teaspoon of potassium bicarbonate in 1/2 glass of water taken two times a day would likely to help me. In addition 1/2 teaspoon of magnesium hydroxide mixed would further help kill the organism yet to be identified RESPONSIBLE for the acid reflux.
Sugar and high fats, high oily food diets should be completely avoided during the treatment period so that the body can be cured of acid reflux.

How can you tell if you have acid reflux or bile reflux Symptoms of acid reflux and bile reflux in your esophagus are virtually the same. If your symptoms include vomit, check the color. Bile has a tell-tale yellow tint. If you also have symptoms of bile reflux in your stomach, such as abdominal pain and indigestion, that might be an important clue. In general, acid reflux is considered more common and more likely than bile reflux. But if medications to treat acid reflux don't relieve your symptoms, let your healthcare provider know. They can test the reflux fluid in your esophagus to detect the presence of bile.
