Is too much liquid antacid bad for you??

What's that and how does it work? 

Its a natural extract from a three.... some people swear by it and for some it does nothing. There are no proven beneficial effects but yet it sometimes help.... btw i used it and it did nothing for me but for you it may work. Its inexpensive.

Thanks. I will have to be careful and try to limit the amount I take. What about proton pump inhibitors? Any long term effects?

Before you take any medications try apple cider vinegar with the mother. Natural remedy for acid reflux.

Thanks. 

I have an aluminum free antacid. Thanks for the advice. 

Thank you. I am on PPI - Prilosec. 

Pippa, milk stimulates acid production!!!! 

Milk stops my acid production and cured my grandad’s ulcer! It stops my dad’s acid reflux too. Milk is known for reducing acid because it is alkaline.  It is a great stomach soother!   I get immediate relief of reflux from drinking milk. However, everyone is different.

I just made comment due to the research I've read: This is not the only one that state this.  I'm no expert but assume the facts are gathered based on fact but one never knows nowadays, anyway have a read of this, its from the BBC: http://www.bbc.com/future/story/20130904-does-milk-calm-an-upset-stomach

This research is not black and white and does not apply to everyone because everyone is different.  Newspapers are full of this sort of thing. One day one thing is good for you and the next day it is bad. Advice changes like the British weather!

Researchers make money out of writing contradictory information like this and all it does is cause confusion.  Research can be skewed to fit the purposes of the person writing the paper.  

I think, if a particular remedy works for you, you should stick with it.   In my family, milk most certainly has helped three of us.  The best research you can do is to try the remedy to see if it works for you. 

Well I will say my Mum had an ulcer for years and never went to bed without a glass of milk - and lived to 84 and passed but not ulcer related.

My grandad was a GP and cured his duodenal ulcer by drinking milk.  It really helps me and my dad to get rid of our acid reflux.

Well I'm lost then, just do a search and view the facts on the many sites from leading professionals that state milk causers acid rebound effect.  Its not me, its the professionals that state this. It would be nice to be able to cheery pick which research we care to accept or decline, yet we find ourselves dong just that. One piece of research is put as an example on this forum as gospel, yet others should they go against what we believe is discarded.  I believe some say PPIs can cause cancer due to the extremely limited 'tests/research' conducted, yet some choose to accept this as gospel!!  Funny world. Now, lets take statins, research on both sides of the camp and experts from both side disagree, so where does this lead research papers in general then???  Maybe we should go back to seeing the witchdoctor??  Oh, I've just read back thought this and please don't anyone take my comments in a negative way I'm just stating how 'silly' research seems, yet what else do we have as a grounding? And, no doubt all of us will post the same research findings from another topic on here at some point 

pippa has acid reflux and swears by milk - I, after reading up on it told him it would make it worse and not to do it.  He won't have it, it makes him feel loads better.  And with my Mum swearing by it - I am going down this route - like you say, we are all different.  But hey it is sooooo soothing.

The best research is to try the remedy out and see if it works for you.

Provided you are not intolerant to it, milk works a treat.

Thanks. I never exceed the recommended dosage.
