Could a person fix Acid Reflux without taking medicine.?

Answer 1

I dont know that you can 'fix' it , but you could look up some causes to it and avoid those causes - such as spicy food (tomato or pizza sauce) and greasy foods (popcorn oil or fast food). Find out as much as you can about it, then follow what they have to say. Maybe you can help yourself. But at some point, you may have to take medicine if nothing else works.

If alkaline foods weren't enough to help (and I assume that means you've also tried antacids), then it might not be acid reflux... it could be some other problem near the same area. If it is too much acidity in your stomach, then you could try a Calcium Carbonate pill shortly before the "bad time of day" for you, or you could try Ginger, Chamomile, Licorice (preferably DGL), Slippery Elm Bark, and/or Horehound leaf. The combination of those can help to balance out the pH in your stomach. Aside from that, of course, just changing your diet to remove most acidic foods.... but that's more of a long term preventative, not a recovery thing. However, if none of that helps, I would definitely suggest talking to a good doctor to make sure it's not some other problem. Good luck!

Answer 4

I certainly wouldn't recommend it, because in time you could injure your esophagus from the acid reflux. There are things you can get OTC, such as Prilosec. I've used it and it really works by shutting off the acid production. It's the acid that gives you heartburn. Your doctor can prescribe stronger meds like Nexium or Prevacid. There are certain foods you should avoid if they bother you, like citrus fruits or spicy foods, and chocolate or peppermint are also culprits. Don't lie down shortly after eating, and use two pillows at night to keep you from lying flat. But these last few suggestions are not cures. You need to see your doc.

Answer 5

Chronic heartburn is usually from acid reflux - stomach acid is getting past the little valve and into your esophagus. You also should know some natural ways to treat your heartburn. Learn them here https://bitly.im/aMGsE

The most immediate thing you can do is to stop drinking coffee and cola. Smoking is not good either, but that might be harder to stop. Don't over-eat. Don't lie down too soon after eating. Don't burp too much - this carries acid up with the burp.

heartburn the most common symptom of acid reflux disease (also known as gastroespohageal reflux disease, or GERD). Heartburn feels like a burning pain in the center of the chest. It is caused by acid from the stomach backing up into the esophagus. is a symptom of acid reflux disease (GERD) Also known as Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease

Answer 6

I suffered for more than 30 years. Even the best medicine stopped working.

My doctor referred me to a surgeon, who recommended a procedure called laproscopic fundoplycation, I may have spelled it incorrectly.

It was minimally invasive, I had to spend one night in the hospital, and was off work for two weeks. The good news is I could tell the difference the minute I woke up from the procedure. I have been symptom free for over 6 years now.

This was a treatment of last resort and insurance companies are not really keen on paying for it unless there is strong medical evidence that it is the only cure. I also had go through many tests to ensure my body could withstand the procedure as it involves wrapping the upper part of your stomach around your lower esophagus.

Good luck.

Answer 7

For the most part, GERD is something made up by a drug company so the company could resell Nexium. Plus, esophogeal procedures are very easily done. Nexium is a good drug, but you will got rebound heartburn hardcore.

Absolutely. I haven't read the other replies but you should raise your bed at night.

Avoid honey, caffeine, chocolate, coffee, and alcohol like the plague.

All the fun stuff. ;)

Increase calcium intake and avoid acidic foods (tomatoes, oj etc)
It is possible that milk will fend it off.

You still should take tums, but not too often if you are male because of prostate.

Answer 8

You can help it by what you eat and what time you eat don't eat at least three hours before you go to bed, alcohol, red foods, spicy foods, food high in acid, and greasy fried foods are all bad for you and can trigger your acid reflux, so basically if you want to eat green foods for the rest of your life than you can cure it without medicine

Answer 9

Yes. The first thing you need to do is to stop eating after 6 PM. Once it gets regulated you should be able to eat light meals in the evening. Meanwhile, if natural regulation does not work, don't avoid getting medical treatment for it. You can severely damage your esophagus with GERD.

Answer 10

A baking soda and water solution always worked for me. (Doesn't taste great though.) But, I wouldn't go long without medicine...all that acid can erode away the lining of your esophagus.
