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??

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! ????

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!!

I've also had this over the last four weeks. Ginger works for me also slippery elm as it costs the stomach lining. Been given Imeprazole and gaviscon by doctor. Prefer ginger and slippery elm much better.

Hi Vee, I must SHOUT the benefit of figs! I read once that figs contain an enzyme that helps digestion. I have had digestive troubles often over the years and since I read about figs I just chew on one maybe three or four times spread through the day and almost immediately I get relief. My stomach settles and all those 'snooker balls' bashing around inside me go away. The pain in my side gets relief and goes away. Give it a try, perhaps this won't help everyone but yes, better than tabs. I buy the ready to eat kind from any supermarket.

Hello
Yes I had this and my dr put me on proto pump inhibitor which is a horribly strong med and should only be used in the very short term.
I sent to see a nutrionalist who suggested I was gluten/wheat intollerant. I was very surprised but this was confirmed by a blood test and since cutting out wheat I have had no issues. Adapting to a gluten free diet takes some perseverance but for me was worth if it lets me follow be kind to my body.
I didn't try ginger , tumeric, honey for reflex but do use it for colds. It works wonders.
Slippery elm I did try for reflex, it helped but was not a 100% cure in my case.

I never thought about food allergies or intolerability. I'll have to look into this!
Thank you!
