does anyone have dull chest pain with this anoying desease
yvonne which probiotics do u use and where did brougth
thanks
Hi Yvonne, I have tried probiotics which hurt my, ACV is a no no now as that hurts as does lemon which for some helps. Just started Mastic Gum, Slippery Elm hurt also. What a pain this is.
Yes I do and it moves into the throat and back also.
Jonathan - I was going to try this until read about the HH which I have. My doc gave me PPI which I have not yet taken due to side effect concerns. I am holding off them. So she also gave me Zantac to try 300mg daily with Gaviscon if needed dfuring the day. I have read quite a lot about Nissen Fondoplication and how some have no reflux at all after it. So am bearing that in mind. Have you ever been on a PPI? Is this what happened with aspiration. I didn't know that PPI allowed liquid from the stomach to slosh up - I thought it stopped the acid. I know Zantac neutralises it but can the same thing happen. If that is the case how can you stop the acid from getting up there. Is this down to diet?
Let me know your thoughts.
Yvonne, where can I get chickory from? Apart from in the veg isle is it bottled and you mix it with your milk? Thanks.
forgot u cant send link lol sent u private message
sent u a private message
Sorry, I have not tried either.
Hi Gwen: I have used PPi drugs. Some of them like Nexium can cause random sharp pains in chest. Once you take them, it's hard to get off of them.
They did a study and put healthy people on PPi drugs then abruptly stopped the drugs. Most of the people then complained that they now had heartburn and acid reflux problems.
If you can, stick to antacids like Maalox or Tums. You MUST raise the head of your bed 7 or 8 inches or sleep on a wedge to reduce reflux while sleeping. Anyone with a weak esophageal sphincter needs to prevent acid aspiration. Anything coming up from the stomach and being inhaled can stop breathing. It's very dangerous.
I'm not a fan of the Nissen Fundoplication because of the side effects and lifetime of issues. If it were me I would only do the HH repair. The reflux may resolve by itself afterward.
acid reflux does cause heart fluttering and weirdness drs hate to admit it but its true, part of the misery suffered by acid reflux/gerd...i use spray oil magnesium and it cured my heart palps ,our food is no longer filled with magnesium,as the soil is depleted of this mineral,so spray on mag is totally a must!
It's really very simple. Just drink 10oz of carbonated water or seltzer, and sit down and relax. You need to be focused because we naturally will burp, but don't burp. It may feel uncomfortable at first, because the sphincter muscle is getting a workout. Do this 4 times a day and once before bed for 5 minutes. Work up to 20 minutes per session. You will notice a difference in a few days, but it may take 30 days before the sphincter is back to normal. When you can lay flat without any reflux then you can reduce down to one session per week.
Some doctors recommend to not drink fizzy drinks with acid reflux, but they mean soda pop, because it causes alot of burping which can spash acid upward. But we are using carbonated water as an exercise regimine, so this is completely different. It is the only way to conquer acid reflux.
Yvonne - daft question but where do you spray it ?
Dont laff lol.

Hi gwen45436. Chicory of course is a slightly bitter vegetable that tasetes nicer with a little mayonnaise spread on it or cut into small pieces and mixed with salad and vinaigrette made with white cider vinegar and extra virgin olive oil. The easy to get form of chicory is Camp coffee, which is chicory essence and not really coffee. If you also have a mucus problem, which can exacerbate the reflux problem, use soy or almond milk in place of cow's milk.
That should of course have read 'tastes'.
awesome advice and true
Hi johnathan
Do you not burp at all whilst doing these exercise or do a massive burp after holding it in for a few minutes
\of course camp coffee - I used to drink it years ago. Another way I could use chickory is put some leaves into my blender. I read about payapa, pineapple and kiwi are full of enzymes and are acid nutralisers. It sure eases a funny tum. I will add some chickory to this blend.
How coffees do you drink in a day?Thanx
Hi Gwen and thanks for the reply. I start the day with a fairly strong coffee to kick start the mechanism and probably have another three or four during the day, interspersed with a tea or two. Sometimes I have a large espresso in my daughter's cafe in Newport and follow it with a tea to take the taste away! As thistles are growing again after their hibernation I shall make another couple of bottles which keep perfectly well and still work fine even after being kept for two years. The cost? About tuppence worth of electricity!
