I've had Acid reflux for weeks! Also, uncomfortable muscle spasms in my stomach, to the point where I have to hold my hand on my stomach to manage throughout the day!  Ugh!!!

Docs just say to take Pepcid or Prilosec...this is soooo irritating!!!

Anyone else experiencing this??

Hi,

I find that ginger with tumeric , cinnamon an honey helps

Hi Vee,

I had this really bad for a while they prescribed a proton pump inhibitor. Although it cut down on the amount of attacks. It did not stop them.

After researching I tried ginger capsules 2 before meals and ginger tea made with fresh ginger sipped slowly after meals.

After about a month on this regime and no further attacks whatsoever I stopped taking it and have not had the problem since.

Hope this helps you too.

Thanks again!!!!

Hi Vee,

I forgot to say take the capsules half an hour before food. Ginger is to increase stomach acid. All medications do is reduce or neutralise it. New thinking is that gerd is actually caused by not enough stomach acid rather than too much.

Oh, yes, this makes sense!  Thank you for the additional info!

I started experiencing these issues last year. I thought I had a stomach ulcer it was so bad at times. I was on omneprazole for a while until my symptoms imprived

16

Try d ginger its natural..it help lots..

17

I have heard that eating yogurt regularly helps with acid reflux and GERD. I eat yogurt often and I don't get much of either of those conditions-don't know if that is why.  (get plenty of other symptoms though!  😊😁 

18

Greek yogurt helps but along wit ginger it helps more..

19

I love yogurt, so I will try this too! My appetite has been nonexistent lately, so I'm sure that poor eating is part of the problem as well.

Thank you for the tip!!
