Hello. I have horrible acid reflux everyday. And also bloating in my upper stomach that I feel like I need to puke even when I don’t eat. Lots of fullness. I don’t know what to do anymore. I do not want to take ppi for life. Any natural remedies that have helped you and have you expierenced what I have ?
I'm so sorry! There are many theories out there, of course. I'm sure you done a lot of reading. Have you changed your diet much? I posted here a few days ago about my LPR while I'd been on a low-acid diet and wasn't getting much relief, other than my throat feeling a bit better. I started a very low carb diet 3 days ago and feel a lot better already. I'm not expecting a miracle, but this approach seems promising. The theory I was reading is that some cases of reflux are caused by too many carbohydrates (sugar, fiber, etc) basically fermenting in the digestive system causing bloating/gas, which is turn puts pressure on the stomach and LES, which in turn causes reflux. I don't think I can post links here, but if you Google things like, "low carb, fermentation, reflux" you'll probably find info. You'll probably get some good advice here, so I hope you find something that works. This whole thing has been really confusing to me as well!
