When I turned 40, I had to back off of my beloved coffee. I have since learned to enjoy substituting decaf drinks. I also have to stay away from dinners with a lot of tomatoes in the foods cause it will give me heebyjeebies and wake me up with heart burn.
I figure if this is all that I have probs with at 52..I am damned lucky!..I have tried these natural ways to feel good and not rely on meds.

I suffered from acid reflux for aobut 20 years.
I started out eating 100 rolaids a week. Then it got worse and I went on Prilosec. And then Pepsid AC cause my insurance company wouldn't pay for the Prilosec. Finally the pain went from my chest to my back. Finally I got some decent insurance and had my hiatal hernia fixed. This cured the problem.
But I had let it go for so many years that there was lots of scar tissue and the surgery took 3 hours instead of 45 minutes....
but here I am 10 years after and I can eat anything I want without acid reflux.

I have acid reflux. I take a prescription called Ranitidine, and it works really well. Things that trigger me most are red wines, tomato sauces, orange juice... anything slight on the acidic side. If I eat less and keep active and rested it also seems to be better.

acid reflux, and yes...i have a severe case of it, which is dumb because i am only 14 and i thought only older people get it. when i eat too much spicy and greasy food, i get really sick. i took this medicine though, its called prevacid (for a month), the acidity problem just stopped, and now I can eat normally.

Greasy of spicy foods. Also don't go to bed for 2-3 hours after eating. I take Nexium and it works well. Losing weight also helps.

mANY REFLUX SUFFERERS ALL WITH DIFFERENT FOODS THEY NEED TO AVOID THE MOST IMPORTANT THING TO KNOW IS THAT PROLONGED EXPOSURE OF THE ESAPHAGUS TO ACID THE MORE DAMAGE TO THE LINING WHICH NOT ALWAYS BUT AT TIMES MAY LEAD TO CANCER TAKE THIS CONDITION VERY SERIUOSLY. TELL YOUR Dr.IF RX IS NOT ALWAYS EFFECTIVE THIS TYPE OF CANCER IS ON THE RISE AND USUALLY DETECTED TOO LATE TO CURE
