What are some natural remedies for acid reflux?

Answer 1

Oh, I suffer w/ Acid Reflux as well and it's awful. I am on Protium 40mg once a day and I take it about 30-40 mins before I eat and I generally have no problems once I've taken this tablet. I tried a natural remedy but it didn't do the trick for me =( Hope all is well.

Answer 2

I used to be hooked on Tums and Pepto Bismol. I had suffered badly from severe acid reflux, chest pains and bloating to the point when I begged my doctor to be hospitalized. 20 days since I started applying the dietary and cleansing principals outlined in this book, my acid reflux was completely curedhttps://tr.im/AlternativeCureAcidReflux
I was prescribed Lansoprazole which was brilliant but after two years of aching joints, extreme muscle pain which the doc gave me cortisone jags for, with some research I discovered the drug Lansoprazole was causing these rare side effects but it was I who diagnosed it NOT my doctor, I came off the drug 2 months ago, changed my diet and discovered just eating an apple stops any acid reflux, I eat an apple before bed, brilliant no acid, any time I feel the slightest sign of reflux I simply eat an apple.
Apple juice is not that good nor is anything else I have tried including honey at stopping reflux.
Apple is a god send for keeping acid at bay, brilliant.

Heartburn is usually triggered by eating large meals, fatty meals, spicy meals, alcohol, or eating close to the time when you go to bed. https://tr.im/TreatmentAcidReflux
For other people certain foods might cause a problem, tomato, onion, or citrus, for example. You can try to avoid the more common triggers or you can keep a food diary and figure out which items are your specific triggers. Once you know that you can't eat chocolate, for example, without getting heartburn you may choose to eliminate it or reduce the amount you consume. There are many notices and ways to treat your hearburn at home. Read more here:

Answer 4

More often than not , the problem is from not having enough stomach acid. Doctors get there info from Drug Reps. selling medications and push these drugs. Go to a Health Food store and get stomach acid supplements. Take the dose recommend on the label, if you get heartburn then your problem is to much acid in your stomach. Try the stomach acids first , you may correct your condition.

Answer 5

peppermint tea or peppermint oil tablets from health food store.
Avoid anything acidic ( sodas, juices, etc.)
Avoid caffeine and chocolate.
Don't lie down or go to bed within 2 hours after eating a meal.

Answer 6

sleeping with the front of the bed elevated,or putting a foam wedge under your mattress(where your head goes),dont lie down prone on a couch while watching t v. if you lie flat the acid will ride back up into your throat and cause problems.my little 2 month old niece has this condition and it hurts us to see her cry out in pain.so,try these tricks of the trade and I hope you feel better soon.

Answer 7

That depends, if you're looking to treat the disease itself, there isnt anything i know of short of perscriptions that take care of it. If you only want to treat the symptoms, any weak base, such as baking soda, will neutralize the acid. Change in diet, like avoiding sodas, spicy or acidic foods, or eating quickly may also help.

Answer 8

Prilosec seems to work the best for me - try taking 2 tablets each day instead of one if it gets really bad.
Good Luck
