help. I'm desperate. I was diagnoised with acid reflux and gastritis. Dilexlant, Zantac, Prilosec are useless. I take anti gas heard cabbage juice helps. As awful as that sounds I will drink it if it will help. Are there other ways of making cabbage juice other than through a juicer...can afford one. I've been suffering for 10 years and it's breaking me down. I take meds for hypo thyroid. My mom is now boiling some cabbage for me and I will during the broth. Is there anything else specifically I can do. Someone please help me.
Hi Bill,
Sorry to hear that you are in pain.
Do you know what is the cause of your reflux?
I have the same problem from one year ago and I managed to make it better without PPIs and by using natural carse such as DGL, Pepsin GI, sometimes antiacids and mostly by diet.
I also drink every night one carrot and apple juice. Cabbage juice is also recommended but i havent tried it.
Some medications such as metoclopramide was recommended by my GI. It helps the stomach to empty faster, however I havent tried it.
One thing that helps is trying to manage the stress level, try to breath 5 mins before and after eating. when you exhale try to suck your stomach in, this will help your LES to be more closed.
I hope you get better soon.
I forgot to mention that I also take L-glutamine and Probiotics with my juice every night and I believe it helps.
Thank you very much for your input. Since I can't afford a juicer my mom cut up in small pieces cabbage and boiled it hard. Believe it or not it cut down my pain by 50%!!! I will look into your recommendations. Thanks.
