  • I, myself got acid reflux since i was 18 in 2008. I'd been off & on. I eat pepcid, prliosec & tums like candy. Then when ive tried the organic food diet for two months. I started feeling better. Yet, I couldn't afford the organic diet anymore in 2010. Then it had came back worser than it is. I felt like i'm dying at 22...

  • THE NAUSEA KILLS ME....!

  • I got acid reflex for two months feels like im dying and burning my lungs and chest

  • be relax dont panic i have acid reflux too and i cant breath huhuhuhu everytym every minutes but relax

  • Great video. Acid reflux can be treated with natural methods. You don't have to depend on medications for life.

  • @davidsmithhealth what can i do? the medicine the doctors give me im sure has an ingreaident called gelatin in them. im a vegetarian and gelatin is ground up dead animal skin and bones........what do i do? is thier an alterniitve?

  • @nerdymom2 That's a tough one. Ask your doctor about that. Otherwise, you can try a more natural approach that involves diet and lifestyle changes instead of medication. There's a book called The Reflux Solution. Go ahead and Google it. It helps you treat your reflux with natural diet and remedy methods.  Best of luck. Let me know how it goes.

  • @davidsmithhealth thanks bro.

  • I hate acid reflux :(

  • I have this.

  • I suffer with bad heartburn and sometimes I be sick :(

  • If you wanna fix Acid Reflux (if you really have it) message me I am a sufferer who has fixed it (almost).

  • im 25 and i have an extreme case of this shit. ive been dealing with it ever since i was 19. it all started when i worked for fedex and had minute maid lemonade with my lunch. i fell out in someones yard an hour later because of chest pain and have been belching and doing exactly what this video gave an example of all day every day

  • @23swaggerking

I also received a blood and breathe test about 3 weeks ago, and still have not heard a single thing, It's seriously effecting my lifestyle.. :(

  • if you have acid reflux and want to prevent it from reacurring you need to do the following:

    eat several banana's after a meal (some people do both before & after)

    If you decide to go to sleep, do not eat for at least 2 to 3 hours before sleeping

    eat raw vegetables/nuts a few days a week to prevent your stomach from spilling to much acid OR just eat a lemon once a day to neutralize the stomach acid

    lower your meat intake and try eating meat in smaller chunks

  • I think i have reflux... :(

  • I had acid reflux for 10 years, was a real nightmare and had a real effect on my quality of life. Last month I had a new procedure called the linx, that and with a changed diet I feel a new person. If anyone in the UK wants to know about this procedure or wants any advice about what I did then feel free to drop me a message.

  • @benbmx1 please give an advised

  • I had Acid Reflux a few months ago .. It hurt sooo bad -_____-

  • i hate youtube ads before the video starts....

  • Hi I'm 16years old and I was off school for a few days with a sore throat last week. The pain was very weird and did not feel like a cold so after looking on the Internet I found out I was having acid reflux. The pain went and now 2 days after, I'm felling a burn at the back of my throat mostly at night when I lie down.

    I have never had this problem before but I think it has started as I was eating twice as much as usual for 3 weeks as I was bulking up for basketball. I'm not sure weather eati

  • @harris0n5 u might wanna go to the doctor and see if they can prescribe u some aciphex 20 mg that's what helps me.

  • If you suffer from gerd,acid reflux,heartburn, you should eat a lot of watermelon or drink watermelon juice. it is the thing that soothes my stomach the most

  • @TLiberator Thank you!!!

  • Even if this helps one person,i had acid reflux about 2 years ago,after 10 visits to the doctor and every antacid under the sun plus had the camera down etc,mine came down to simple,well not so simple,id had crazy stressfull couple of years,family members with cancer,2 children and the threat of loss of job,i ended up with,I.B.S(irritable bowel syndrome) which only you can cure by whatever means necessary that work for you...if anybody needs help only happy to share..

  • häha_gebt_mÀl_béî_goÖglÉ:_geld­easy_ÈïÑ_vóll_krÅss

  • i got it from eating spicy chips at night....

  • Poor posture is now considered a culprit of GERD. Why not. Poor posture is physically compressing the digestive system. It is depressing as well. Both the emotional and physical problems cause GERD. I've lengthened my spine and whole body. An offshoot to this is that my GERD has become nearly none existent

  • Very important. Don't just think you have acid reflux, please get your doctor to do a blood test for H-Pylori bacteria. In my case, I was Mis-Diagnosed with Acid Reflux's disease and was given so many powerful Antacids that screwed up my insides. Lost 20 pounds. Then I asked my Doctor to do the H-Pylori blood test. It was positive. So, folks go do this H-Pylori blood test. Some may be cured.

  • @computermech This whole weekend i had dry coughs+and deep heart burns. Reading on the internet-it seems like i do have this Acid Reflux, and i intend to tell the doctor i think i have it when i go see him.

    Could u please tell me what is that H-Pylori test?

    What is this thing, and what does it cause u?

    Does it have the same symptoms as Acid Reflux, so thats why people\doctors make the mistake?

    thank you for helping..

  • @eladbari H-Pylori test is done through a blood test first. If they find the bacteria they will prescribe you some anti-biotics and antacids. Complete as prescribed. Then NATRUALLY try to heal your reflux by lowering fatty foods, spicy foods, chocolates, etc. BUT PLEASE don't continue with the powerful antacids, they will just make your condition worse in the long run. Message me on Youtube and I will reply to you with personal advise. The doctors do not care what happens to you.

  • @computermech thank u very much for the reply. i dont trust doctors these days. everything is about selling medicine they must be getting some precentage off them.

    im writing u a pm right now :]

  • @computermech Hey, btw! I already wrote u something, but i cannot send it to you via PM, cause youve enabled "freind lock" or something. so ive sent u a youtube's friend request.

    Please approve it, and comment back here so i know i can re-send you my full email message.

    thank you! :]

  • @eladbari Sorry for the belated reply. H-Pylori test is simple. Just a blood test. I have added you as a friend. You can message me if you like. Since I am a huge sufferer and have improved a lot I can advise you better than a doctor. Please don't take power antacids! Remember All. There is a simple power called ENO. It is natural fruit salt it CURES acid reflux, but there are also alot more to if you wanna fix it. You have to quit smoking, drinking, fatty foods and spicy foods for a while.

  • @computermech Tnx for coming back & replying! I had questions for you, but time passed & I had to take care of things.find out what I had.

    You WONT Believe this!Went to TWO doctors.Told 'em my symptoms+asked them for the H-Pylori test. They Denied me of it,Claiming I Dont have it! Being stubborn I went to a 3rd doctor-who Gave me the test [via breath\not blood] & we found that I DO HAVE H-Pylori!

    Im taking triple Antibiotics treatment & I got no side effects.

    What harm will it do?im fine now

  • @eladbari If your doctor gave you 7 days medications, ask him if you can have 2 weeks as many times these bugs don't want to die. Even talk with your pharmacist. You will see that a lot of people came back for 2 set of medications. Anyways. Once you have completed them. Go "off" of any strong antacids. If you need to use ENO powder 2 hours after eating. Or you can take 10mg Pepcid AC or generic version "Acid Control" 2 hours after food and only once before bedtime. Message me if you need advise

  • The cure? Don't over eat, don't drink alcohol, eat more dried fruits like figs and dates and have 1oz of wheatgrass juice in the morning and one at night. Cured me fast and I tried all the pills and different cures. Acid reflux seems to be caused by the body not being in acid balance. The alkalinity of the foods I mentioned fix that.

  • (see first two posts)

    One more post! I just had to emphasis the "Screaming" because that is what your stomach wants you to do. It is like a child that is not getting its way. All you have to do is listen to it. I had the back aces the body tremors (scared the crap out of my family) This can simply be emotions (especially if the doctors can't explain it).

    So, command your body to surface your anger, grief, frustration what ever it is. Do this over and over again until it comes up, then vent it.

  • I Found that post about lactic instead of hydrochloric acid. Good to know.

  • @kton555 please share the lactic acid post with me, i'd like to see it? My baby has acid reflux and I'm researching all sorts of natural remedies.... much appreciated!

  • (see first post)

    Last year, I was in so much pain I couldn’t walk. I had what felt like the beginnings of an ulcer and GERD symptoms, with no medical coverage, and nowhere to turn. I would probably be on prilosec right now if I hadn’t gotten a handle on my repressed anger. I only rarely get reflux now (when I am nervous) and have no GERD symptoms, no ulcer like pain. Venting anger brought me rapid relief.

  • I have to throw this out there! There is a good chance that you’re GERD and or acid reflux is completely caused by your emotions (or your inability to address them). I believe that stress in the body, which is created by repressed anger, can cause the overproduction of acid, underproduction of mucus and LES malfunction.

    You should: -ask yourself if and why you are angry (journal your answers)

    -Scream/cry, listen to recordings of screaming, or ask your kids for their Metalcore albums.

  • i think i have it but it only stays in tummy think its a ulsar?

  • I have acid reflux sometimes and I burp and fill bad why is that sometimes I feel like I'm full in side u y'all now?

  • @spirit172 how much apple cider vinegar???

  • I take Nexium 40mg every day LEFT side chest pain .. lower not upper sometimes upper when i get that acidic taste in mouth Im going under surgery to perm fix my Flinter... its working great.. BUT DO NOT take more then 40 a day because you will produce TO little acid and BAM more stomach problems <<<hypocondriac 4 years running

  • I have acid reflux ( I dont like to say acid reflux disease because I don't want to think of myself having a disease). It's really painful, when I go out with my friends to restraunts its hard for me to not eat the same foods that they have. It's so tempting.

  • is also hard to go to sleep -.-

  • @spidy05 witht his problem? Are you sure?

  • for normal patients omeprazole or esomeprazole given with motillium nice cure i feel better by the grace of ALLAH

  • can i do sit ups?

  • @spirit172 The cure for most people with acid reflux is a banana. it works in 2min. bananas provide heartburn relief by stimulating the stomach lining’s production of mucus. The mucus creates a natural barrier between your stomach lining and gastric acids that cause the burning of heartburn. Bananas are the fruit of an herb – the world’s largest herb, “Musa sapientium”. Herbs often recommended for heartburn relief include chamomile, fresh basil, and ginger.

  • Comment removed

  • I have it often and then I drink 1-2 glasses of cold milk, instant relief

  • eat a bit of fresh ginger root every day guys,it helped me greatly!

  • I might have this on around 10 to 15 occasions I have been in hospital because acid from my stomach keeps throwing up and i lose heaps of bile its like hydrochloric acid and it burns so bad tht it feels like your dying ,cold sweats and nothing will stay down not even a sip of water then after 2 - 6 days with no sleep and constant nausea to the point where at least several litres of acid has been thrown up I get better usually from anasetic to numb my stomach but it feels like cheating death

  • Dr this is nonsence!!

    the osophagas colapses after eating,there is no treatment for a weak LES.

    al

  • all i get from acid reflux is heart burn and belching

  • I have a contant cough, difficulty yawning, difficulty in taking deep breaths, tightness in my neck (sometimes chest) . anyone know anythiing about these symptoms? i have been to two different DRs and both sent me home without any kind of explanation. i have looked online and some say Asthma, some say anxiety, some say Acid reflux its rediculous. untill these symptoms i have always been as strong as bull PLEASE HELP!!!

  • @Michael117american this winter I had the same symptoms as you and the people in the emergency room all said it was stress later on I went to and Ears, Nose and Eye doctor who told me it was acid reflux. I now take prilosec every morning and it helps

  • want him

  • I've been waking up coughing for the past week or so. I have acid reflex

  • @simsfan2183 try some appple cider with some vinegar mixed it should help in 30 seconds...if u want something more soothing and not too salty drink some juice (NO CITRUS ACID JUST MAKES IT WORSE) and add a small break in each sip if ur a girl sip 8 times if ur a boy sip 7 times and adult or teenager should be alwasy 10 sips

  • how does the LES become weak and open?

  • Acid Reflux has nothing to do with structure or form. It is caused by a lack of Hydrochloric Acid which causes food to rot and ferment in stomach because it can't be digested. The acid that flows up into esophagus is not hyrdrochloric acid but lactic acid

  • I have a question though. I had the endoscopy done and I was diagnosed with Acid Reflux....I was put on Nexium for a long time and many other acid pills, and it got better and yes everything feels good :) But every once in awhile I get tiny mild burns in the middle of my esophagus...is that bad?I mean it's just mild and tiny burns nothing big big big and I don't feel dizzy or lose my breath, it's just a small burn...could that still cause cancer?

  • it really sucks to have it! for some reason mine are very often associated with burping. i try to suppress it sometimes by tightening my stomach/diaphragm but that only delays it for a moment. and for some reason, it hurts more going down than it does coming up. uhhh! i don't even really understand why i have it either! i know i haven't had it all me life!

  • I have reflux disease :/

  • i get it from drinking cider, i know its not good..

  • hahh i have acid reluxxxx(:

  • i drink a glass of milk and take 3 tums everyday after dinner when my stomache starts to burn . is that bad

  • @lacore1988 No it isnt bad. Milk in a way tends to neutralize HCl thats the reason why the pain passes but if u ve been having this for a long time u should check it out maybe it needs to be treated by medicine.

  • Very informative video. A lot of people do not realize how serious stomach acid reflux really can be. Knowing the cause of the condition brings us closer to solutions and relief.

  • i get really bad heartburn by eating pizza and apple juice

  • Check this video out;

    How to correct Acid Reflux GERD Indegestion naturally for good

  • I eat and get heartburn ALL the time really bad, even on a cold Ham and Cheese and Mayo Sammich. When I eat the food doesnt burn my mouth or throat going down if its hot food, but as soon as it gets down OOOH the pain. Then after I eat I feel nauseous. And like Im full and want to regurgitate. but then later I get hungry again.

  • @ColinMeloy91 greasy food = the bad.. mayo = greasy.. pork = greasy, and most dairy is high in saturated fat.. aka.. greasy.. reguardless if its "cold" doesnt matter.. it isnt a fire burn.. its acid burn.. try poitery its less greasy.. not kfc but baked or boiled.. less mayo.. more mustard.. or try a diffrent type of spread with low saturated fat.. and goat cheese is more nicer then moo cheese for your tummy.. but id say diet change is for you along with other stuff

  • god i hate it every morning my stomach feels like it could throw up and i get bad heart burn at night meds havent helped really and i only weigh 110lbs so my doc doesnt want to up the doseage

  • im 13 and have had this my whole life everyday its always worse even after surgerys! i hate this i wish that Acid reflux never EVER was created!!!!!

  • I am 12 and my docter told me i have acid reflex and sooo bad in the morning i want to cut it out and i have TMJ ware my jaw dosent line up right and artrites in my ankle.

  • Ha ha. I was looking for Acid Music and found this...

  • @BeNNzuFG ha i was looking at slc! punk

  • @BeNNzuFG Me too :D

  • @BeNNzuFG

    that's funny

  • i went to the hospitol for this and the only med that barley took the pain away was morphine is there any other med that helps besides morphine for the pain?

  • Omeprazole 20mg tablets and it's gone in less then a day. Thats what my doctor gave me. I get the back pains as well as the acid reflux every time.

  • how bad is the back pain, my doc said i have this and im waiting to take my omeprazole tomoz morning (hating the wait) but my back pains so bad i dunno if gerd can cause this much pain...

  • It's not nice thats for sure. I have had it in various pain levels. Today it has come back but only kind of mild so the back pain is small. Sometimes it can be worse and be like a back pain from lifting a huge weight or something. What made me go to the Doctor was one night before bed I had extremely bad stomach ache and bad back pain like someone continuously thumping me all round the body. I was really close to phoning an ambulance because I did not know what was happening.

  • What I read on a website is that whats happening in your stomach and aesophogeous, those pains come out through your back and cause the pains in your back. Unfortunately certain foods set it off, so it's best to not eat anything with tomatos, spirit vinegar, curries, spices, pickles. I had to give up heinz tomato sauce and salad cream and I used to eat lots of that. Check out food labels for the above foods and avoid anything acidy or sour tasting is what my doctor said.

  • @mindmagition morphine? I dont think they know what there dealing with you need medication like omeprazole, or lansoprazole I had the latter because omeprazole was too weak.

  • I took prilosec OTC and it rally helpe

    u can also drink aloe vera juice. that really helps

    and when ur sleeping slep on an angle so ur uprite

  • ive been suffering from acid for years it was a big pain in the arse for me every day i would just get up and have a cup of tea in the morning and that would do it anything really then i went to the doctors (uk) and he prescribed me with omeprozole 10 mg then i went onto one called lansoprazole 15 mg then went to 30mg and they work for me it improved my life a hell of a lot taking anybody who suffers this is wot u want trust me even when i drink cider it can come so i just pop 2 of em sometimes

  • I suffer terribly also, only had the endoscopy done and they couldnt find a thing wrong with me even though i suffer every day from heart burn,Point im making is its not healthy to beep taking drugs like losec etc. thats just covering up the problem.

  • no i agree u shouldnt have to take a tablet every day for ever to stop the pain but what else can i do i had a blood test for this and the doctor said im fine prescribed me these and i just keep getting them on repeat prescription i also have a family history of these symptoms and apart from taking these tablets i dont know wot else to do i mean are they bad for you or something?

  • we have a lot in common , i also have family history and a cup of can also trigger it , simply put i have to have some form of tablet with me constantly regardless of what i eat. Doctors cant find a proplem so i am going the natural remedy route instead of constanly putting chemicals through my blood all the time .i have been on losec long term and admit they are a wonder drug but very expensive,yesterday i start taking ACV will keep you posted how i get on but miraculously i think im feeling ok

  • i fucking hate this shit

  • How was this a tip?

  • Fucking hell... I thought this was just some citrus reaction and now I know that it's a "disease"?

    FML

  • i have had this horrible disease since i was 13 years old, but back in the 80's there was no real medical term for it. then all of a sudden it stopped in my 20's. now im 34, and since my 30's it's returned. it's horrible. it stops my breathing, it causes severe pain in my neck arms shoulders, it causes a terrible burning pain in my esophagas that makes me cough out of control. i am now on a medication called kapidex, a cheaper version of nexium. it's excellent. i am now symptom free. it works.

  • @deedee75able

    yeah but you wanna cure the cause not just the stmptom - this stuff is serious and can cause terminal cancer of the esophegus.

  • I've had acid reflux about 6 times over the last year. I never had it until about a year ago. I just had it two days ago and felt absolutely horrible. I felt nausea, dizziness, chest & neck heaviness, burning down my neck, and it kept me up nearly all night.

  • it stops me breathing :( ruining my life!!!!

  • I dont usually have this problem or upset stomach even if im sick. If you really want to know eat YOGURT, cause yogurt has probiotic and that helps the stomach problems.

  • I have acid reflux, and it REALLY hurts :P

  • yeh it really fucking does.

  • i've had acid reflux from the foods i ate,lacking on excercise and heavy smooking.what i did was every morning i walk for 1 hours then head home.watch my diet by avoid fatty foods.and eat less than i normally do every night jag for 1 hour then take shower before bed time dont stay late at night get a good sleep.

  • best cure for acid reflux is excercise.maintain diet avoid fat foods.anything that upset or activate your acid reflux avoid maintain excercise.soon will be gone forever plus improve your lifetyle.say no to medication

  • All I know is tomato food like italian does not mix with whiskey and that's when I get problems.... sleep up right and have a glass of milk! No Acid and minimal hangover lol

  • I dont have the disease..I just got it when i took a pill without water..how long will it take to heal?

  • You can't get acid reflux in just one day, zoa1011.

  • @zoa1011 It is a Disease.....You can't get it and then just cure it in a matter of days.....

  • i have it different , it feels as the acid flowing in the back of my neck, and i feel like my Ears are smoking with fire.........

    terrible..

  • icyhasssan, my heartburn feels like that too, I mostly feel the acid in my throat and even in my ears. I have been taking omeprazol or prilosec for over 2 years. I quit taking it and I have been having reflux again I am going to make an appt. with my doc. and go from there but I don't want to use prilosec anymore, I know there are side efects if used for a long time. What do you use?

  • Nothing, actually the effect is so peppery that if it were up to me i wud run and cannon ball into a pool, cuz of the heat , but luckily it happens once or twice a year.

    no medical prescription for that , but my mom and elders tell me to put a table spoon of sugar in my mouth and slowly suck in the juice...

    you can do that too, but if only sugar isnt bad for u?

  • what is the sugar suppossed 2do?

  • well it kinda shortens the refluxes span , and u loose the heat ( peppery sensation ) within seconds.

  • red gravy AHHHHHHHHHH

  • i got that & ulcercolitis, any cures

  • i get reflux like 3 times a day its not good an is having a bad impact on my life and job

  • all with acid reflux just take a tums the dryness absorbs the acid. my mother has it bad and she also has a heart condition her cardiologist told her this trick

  • tums ???

  • Tums did not do anything for me. My doctor told me they are not strong enough and gave me Omeprazole 20mg tablets and it's gone in less then a day.

  • I never get pain or burning in my chest, but i do have a constant burning sensation in the throat (at the bottom behind the trachea), especially when i drink coffee or eat dark chocolate.

    Is it acid? or bacteria?

  • is there another term for having acid reflux but only when u eat acids? aka, ketchup

    Because i had 3 slice of pizzas yesterday, and im feeling it today, HORIRBLY

  • WOAH.

    i just had a slice of pizza and i had the worst acid reflux ever.

  • it sucks huh? mine comes usually the day after.. but it SUCKS.

  • tums works

  • I have acid reflux and it gives me sharp pains in my chest and sometimes it scares me cuz I also have a heart condition....God I wish there was a cure v.v

  • I have the same problem like you.

    Go to a doctor and ask for nexium.

    Nexium is an anti-acid it will protect you 24hrs from every acid food like pineapple,coffe,alcool,soda,or­ange fruit etc.

  • Thanks, but I already take Previcid....and beano xD I had a horrible "Acid Attack" the other day....God it was horrible! I wish there was a cure for this God forsaken disease!

  • Maybe you have the H. Pylori Bacteria

    This is bacteria cause problem to your proton pump.

    It can be cured with anti-biotic.

    If you dont have this bacteria maybe your body produce to many acid and need anti-acid.

    Hope you find your problem cause its hell to have these problem.

  • I'm pretty sure my doctor said I make too much acid. I've had this since I was little and tomatoes used to be my worst enemy, but now they don't bother me as much.

  • UGGHHHH! I have it bag right now! It feels like my heck is going to cetch on fire

  • Non treatment can lead to Throat Cancer. Throat Cancer has a 15% survival rate after just 5 years of diagnosis. So go to the Dr and get a script that shuts off the acid pumps. If not for yourself for someone you love.

  • I have this problem but it affects my breath for some reason. My breath smells acidy and really bad and i brush twice a day, floss, etc......

  • I cured my acid reflux with aloe vera juice.

    These doctors are so dramatic. How else are they going to get your attention. Doctors are not healers. Find a healer and heal yourself.

  • Eugh, I have had mine for 8 years and it's never calmed down. I always have the lump feeling in my throat and I find it hard to eat or drink. It's so annoying but it's something i have just got used to now =/ lol

  • i'm an acupressure therapist, the last patient i treated, we found that her reflux was caused by a once a day multi-vitamin. keep in mind, pills are probably not the answer. you most likely need to find out what it is in your daily diet that is causing it. fasting may be a solution to let the stomach lining heal and resume it's capabilities to produce the appropriate acid

  • Actually,It is the muscle that shuts off the reverse flow of acid. Some foods might make more of a burning sensation but not the cause of acid reflux. Don't listen to hippies for medical advice. The reason the human lifespan increases more and more is because of modern medicine, not hippies!

  • well i totally disagree with the modern medicine statement. medicine has a key role in treatments, repairs, and fixing things that are broken, but certainly not longevity.

  • i have hiccups and my shest and throat hurt after eating and im 11 so is this like normal for my age

  • Comment removed

  • 3 years ago I displayed symptoms of acid reflux. I couldnt eat or sleep because it was so bad. I was given Lansoprazole and it worked. I was back at school but I knew that I wasnt right. One night I woke up and I was cold and I thought the acid reflux had returned. As the week went on I turned yellow and was then put into hospital for 5 days. The doctors said it was due to a virus. Now I have been getting mucus in the back of my throat. Ive tried nasal sprays but it doesnt help...

  • Maybe its acid reflux that goes into the back of the throat. I dont have heartburn and I dont feel nauseous. Also I think that I may have turned yellow due to the Lansoprazole. Im convinced that the acid reflux, Lansoprazole and turning yellow are connected. Im going to try to change my diet and try honey and apples and apple cider vinegar and see if that stops the mucus. If not Ill have to go back on meds :(

  • Forgive the lack of apostrophise, that's what you get when you spell check in Word before posting.

  • I developed Laryngopharyngeal Reflux. Acid travels further up the esophagus to the back of your throat & feels like there is constant phlegm there, but no heart burn like with GERD. The worse part is I have horrible salty/bitter taste & I can hardly taste anything! Sympthoms of LPR are a tight, lumpy/phegmyy feel in the throat, choking on crumbly foods, coughing, post nasal drip & in my case - major salty/bitter taste. Two doctors suspected thyroid @ first, but tests showed LPR.

  • i take zantac every morning and i often take nauzene throught the day because my nausea due to the acid reflux is so severe. no matter what i do though i wake up every morning sick and i only feel better after i take a zantac. does anyone have any ideas on getting rid of the nausea all together?

  • You see, stomach acid is used to break down food, but when you don't have enough acid, the food sits in the stomach longer and begins to release toxins throughout the body. Those toxins are what's causing the burning sensation. What you could try, and I am not a doctor by any means, but I've been told that this works, but take about 2 teaspoons of apple cider vinegar, and withing a couple of days, the acid reflux will be gone. Now again, this is what I was told, so it may or may not work.

  • continued...so technicly i cud be payin and taken tablets 4sumin i might even need..sympthoms are same tho..what tabs are yous taken 4it?

  • think i have this aswell.had constant heartburn no matter what i ate even cornflakes!used to drive me potty at night time i cudnt sleep flat cuz of the burnin and den my neck wud hurt nxt day from sleeping with my head raised on pillows..im now on PARIET GASTRO-RESISTANT TABLETS..they are helping alot! very expensive..76euro for a months dosage!!! my doc didnt tell me if i had gastric reflux diease or an ulcer..

  • I tell you Alex Chiu's Immortality Rings cured my acid reflux. Don't know why but after wearing these rings for just a day my acid reflux never occured.

  • i got a bd chest and a constant tense in my eyebrow muscles or the muscles that connect to my eyes, the muscle that is in between both your eyes nd your forehead. the centre piece. i think we just smoke too mutch weed. its not acid influx. my m8 has had botox in his face to mend it. it didnt work. trapped nerve? fuk knows lol

  • my doctor thinks i have acid reflux,

    my throat feels tight constantly and tickles,

    i feel like a have a turtle neck on

    i feel like i have mucus in my bronchi

    its been happening for about 3 years now

    and its at a point where its driving me INSANE

  • I have GERD. Gastro Esophogeal Reflux Disease. If you think you have it.... keep ice cold water nearby at all times. The ice cold water "shocks" the esophogeal muscle into immediate contraction... PLUS water washes acids back to the stomach. Repeated bouts can lead to Barrett's Esopogus, a cancerous problem. After repeated shocks with the ice cold water, the muscle tone comes back. Also, avoid chocolate, coffee, caffinated beverages, nuts, etc. DYOR. I am not a doctor.... (thank God).

  • I started this a few years ago. Until recently I had a "choking" sensation, like I had choked on my saliva. I couldn't breather for 10-20 seconds and it scared me to death. Went to my doctor and was told it was GERD. This can be a serious problem and if anyone thinks they have it, please see a doctor! :D

  • I've had it since i was 11, but i can live with it, even though its rough as.

  • hmm... lets see.

    could an abundance of stomach acid from ingesting large amounts cause a reflux?

    can this condition by repeated almost daily until it compromises the esophegus?

    should people that suffer from this limit the amount of food and thus amount of acid to heal tissue?

    acidity of foods should also be known to help lower acidity and improve healing.

    may work in some cases.

    p.s coke,pepsi etc is more acidic than your stomach acid.

  • It's really annoying. I frequently have trouble breathing and sometimes it feels like my throat is constricting. I want to know what causes it, because it just started happening like 5 months ago. My doctor diagnosed me with reflux and i think dyspepsia or something like that, and he gave me omeprazole.

  • the cause is unknow even tho it's so comment

  • it's so hard to breathe right now, my heartburn worsen after i ate chocolates T_T.

  • Most physicians will tell you to limit your consumption of these key food groups: citrus fruits (oranges, lemons, limes), chocolate, caffeinate drinks, fatty foods or deep-fried foods, garlic, onions, spicy foods like curry and hot wings, and any kind of tomato-based food (pizza, spaghetti, ravioli, the entirety of your favorite Italian diners menu, etc). As a rule of thumb, leave those foods out........ Glad im not you MVAHAHA
