OT - Acid Reflux

[Chronicles]

Hi. If you've read some of my previous threads, you would know that im going through a rough period of Acid reflux right now with a symptom being Nausea. I seriously cannot take the constant nausea anymore and just want one day of relief from it. Do you guys have any tips on how to completely get rid of acid reflux?

Hi, I wish I did!! I have silent reflux, which is basically reflux without the heartburn...it messes up my voice. I REFUSE to take any PPI's (Prilosec, etc) and am trying the natural route. My naturopath has given me zinc carnosine, which is supposed to protect and heal the lining. I have tried slippery elm lozenges, different teas with honey, almonds before bed (they are supposed to neutralize the acid), and raising my bed. I do well for a while and then it returns. Now last week I had a gnawing hungry feeling in my stomach...consistent with gastritis or ulcer!! Great!!! SO worried about all this. I really think I'm going to need another endoscopy.
You could try the above remedies, and also the acid free diet and book by Jamie Koufman is supposed to be good. Hard to keep to the diet though. Good luck, let me know how it's going....

I'm so sorry I had this same problem as a teen for years, there wasn't much I could do except take my acid reducers, eat things that I knew wouldn't bother me and try to sleep sitting up. If it makes you feel better I never v* from it.
