Pickle Juice for Acid Reflux

In desperation I came looking at this site, like so many of us. I've not had any digestive problems ever.. and then suddenly this horrible reflux pain that lasted for hours and exhausted me at night. I was afraid to eat. I was afraid to not eat. I had a particularly bad night and then went to the doc and am on omeprazol right now. I've still had symptoms on this medication, which was very discouraging and scary. I tried the acv and it did not work..it made my stomach burn terribly. After alot of burning that wouldn't go away I went to the doc..again..and I am being treated for an ulcer. The burning has stopped, however last night out of the blue I began to have reflux pain again. I tried baking soda and water..which has helped before..and does seem to help the ulcer burn. Last night it seemed to work initially and I fell back to sleep, only to be awoken again from the reflux. I then drank some pickle juice and ate a pickle and the pain was instantly gone. It's tricky trying to balance what will work for the reflux and not aggravate the ulcer,but I just cannot tell you how relieved I am that the pickle juice worked. I know I have very little acid in my stomach right now because of the omeprazol. So, after the antibiotic treatment I plan on weaning myself of the meds slowly and doing the pickle thing. I'm not sure if I should take it with my evening meal or just treat the symptoms of reflux when they happen. I'll just have to try things out. So..give it a try. Keep trying things until you find something that will work. It's scary and exhausting and I felt discouraged from hearing stories of things that never worked for people. But today I feel much more positive. I just have to take this one day at a time. Thank you for the site and the ideas.

Just stumbled on your site tonight. So encouraged to see a site that is offering possible answers from others without hawking a product or book! Thank you! Tried Protonix, antacids, etc., wound up in ER last week w/serious pain, vomiting for days (w/no food being taken in out of fear), BP elevated, feared heart attack if pain persisted (lump in throat, intense burning in upper gut, "sinus or ear infection and drainage" feeling, rt. side of neck, throat sore...) Am trying the above and will report the results. Easy to do since I already love kosher pickles and juice and willing to do the AVC. Encouraged for first time in months...thanks again...Riley

Pickle Juice cured my Acid Reflux.

Down the hatch! Hey, I just had a case of acid reflux because I ate too much last night. This is only the third time I've had this problem in my life, and I hate it! Anyway, I tried the pickle-juice remedy and it worked! Within 2 minutes its as if I never had a problem. Highly recommend the remedy and I highly recommend the website for its usefullness. Thanks!

I have reflux and I am not a fan of Apple Cider Vinegar. I drink Dill Pickle juice and it has the same effect for me. So if you don't like ACV and like dill pickles. Try that.
