i recently was diagnosed with acid reflux after spending a day and a half in the hospital being tested for heat attack/disease.
now i have asthma which was caused by acid reflux.
yippie!!!!!
i would rather take something natural if possible.
i read about apples.
does anyone know of any natural treatments for the acid reflux??????
try ditching the milk and dairy products for a few days ……… that may alleviate the nasty pain of acid reflux for you ……. lactose intolerance will produce acid reflux, achy bones, bloating and constipation, excessive belching, excessive gas, ribbony and stringy shaped stools, wet f*arting (sorry, no other way to put it) ……. in the meantime, put a teaspoon full of baking soda into a mug full of warm water, stir up and drink up …… be prepared to belch loudly and for the pain to increase a little for a few minutes but it will realkalise your system and quell the pain for you…….. baking soda does contain an awful lot of processed salt so it wouldn’t be appropriate if you have high blood pressure …. otherwise, only use it as a temporary measure and try to pinpoint what is causing the bad digestion …… bad digestion is the source of your acid reflux……. increase the production of hydrochloric acid in your tummy by chowing down on more leafy and green vegies like broccolli, kale, chard,celery, buk choy ………. all rich in magnesium (known as the antistress mineral) and calcium so also great for brain frizz, stress and anxiety, constipation, insomnia ………. ;0)
drink loads of fresh filtered water too buddy to ensure you are properly hydrated …. your lungs need water to breath, your joints need water to lubricate them, your digestive system needs water to digest food, your brain needs it to think…….. every single cellular function your body performs needs water ……. drink up and ditch the sodas, pop and soft drinks if you drink any cos they’ll all dehydrate you terribly and keep your body in an acid condition ……… promoting bad digestion.
peace baby

all the advice you have received so far is very good but I want to add 2 things. elevate the head of your bed. Adding pillows won’t work, you need the head end of the bed raised about 3-4 inches. The elevation helps gravity keep your stomach acids from traveling up your esophagus.
Also, do not eat anything, especially spicy for at least 3-4 hours before bed.
My daughter has this and keeps it in good control with just these 2 bits of advice she received from her doctor.
Keep in mind that sometimes remedies aren’t necessarily stuff you take to help heal but stuff you can do.
