How I healed my Acid Reflux

Hi everyone,

I would like to share my experience about the Acid Reflux desease.

In September 2013 I got back pain, I went to GP and he gave me iboprufen and diclofenac. My back pain lasted up to almost June 2014. During this period I had to use the pain killers and I was under stress because I had to find a new job also. All of these things made me to get stomach pains, reflux symptoms, burping and too much gas in my troat in the start of June 2014.

I did the endoscopy in June 2014 and the doctor told me that my LES doesnt close completely, I have no acid refluc and he said I have functional dyspepsia.

I started using Pantropazol 40 m , everyday before breakfast. I started a strict diet, I could barely eat and I had terrible days and nights because of the gas in my stomach and troat.

My symptoms didnt get any better up to late October 2014. I decided to stop the Pantroprazol and start DGL and Pepzin GI which are the natural supplements.

I felt a bit better in early December and could eat a bit more. In the middle of december I started eating more, add diary product again to my diet and tried to drink fruit juice every morning as the breakfast. I felt quit better at the end of december. I continued to have the fresh homemade fruit juice every day and now at the end of January I feel quit better. I have also lost almost 15 kilos which I think it is normal. However, I have still a long way to go to be totally healthy again.

What worked for me:

- I eat small portions

- no coffee, tea (even herbal), alcohol, onion, garlic and other triggers.

- I drink fresh fruit juice two times per day, in the morning and around 17:00 before dinner. I use mostly mango, apple, carrot, banana and soya milk.

- DGL (one at night before sleep because it gives me headace during the day).

- Pepsin GI, two per day with breakfast and dinner.

- Glutamin powder, mostly 5 grams at night but sometimes 5 grams with the shake in the morning.

- Probiotics, 1 tablet before sleep.

- I do 10 minutes meditation before sleep, it helps a lot because I believe many of my problems was because of stress.

- I went to the logopedie doctor and he gave me some breathing and eating instructions. I should drink water slowly, eat slowly, and sit calm 5 minutes before and 5 minutes after dinner/lunch.

- Breathing helps, try to breath deep before eating for couple of times and exhel slowly.

- I eat almonds, and dry fruit like papaya.

- eating in a restaurant is still not possible for me.

What didnt help me:

- Pantropazol, ranitidine en omeprazol, I even felt aweful when I used them.

- Aloevera juice is to acidic for me.

Herbal teas made me feel more gas in my troat.

I hope this would help you also. I would like to mention that I had a very hard time and I was thinking I never get better. But it just needs some time. be paitient and try to stay positive.

Regards.
