Has anyone tried any over the counter natural remedies for GERD? Slippery Elm? Peppermint? Probiitics? I have extreme heartburn nightly with stopped up nasal passages and post nasal drip.

HELP

Thank you,

Pam

    Hi I have only started to see some improvement now. i have been having acid reflux symptoms since October 2019. since October I have had the following:

    probiotics

    digestive enzymes

    on and off slippery elm

    raising the bed head

    only home cooked bland diet

    avoiding the culprits

    alkaline diet.

    hope this helps

      Hi Pamela 533 yes the Alkaline diet which I was unconvinced of had helped me alot. You can pick and choose the ingredients of your choice as long as they are alkaline and have a high ph level. It helps if you like cooking. Im trying different recepies and try and eat raw and unprocessed foods. Raising the head of your bed also helps. I am not sure which bit has helped me the most as I had to make all the changes I possibly could to feel better. I am only taking gaviscon advance at night in terms of the medication. I have made my portions smaller and it has been hard reducing portion size. You can send me a private message if you have more questions.
