  1. Liquid chlorophyll and pineapple every day will help as they both promote a healthy digestive environment.


  2. you can get prilosec.. take one a day and you can eat any thing..they keep your stomach protected,,its the acids in your stomach which causes it,,that is the way i started,,but the other day at wall-mart they had these generic ones out and believe me the are good and alot cheaper,,been on them for a week now and no heart burn at all,,they are called omeprazole,,the same ingredients as the others,,you will save 4 or so dollars..hope you feel better soon,,i know how it feels,,you probably got acid reflux...

  3. Lactose intolerance can cause acid reflux, alternating bouts of constipation & diahorrea and will also lead to a compromised digestive system thus laying the groundwork for a body which is extremely susceptible to developing nose, throat, sinus, ear, bronchial, bladder and other infections as well....... Other symptoms you may be suffering from are mucous in the stools, bloating and cramping, digestive troubles such as constipation, belching and burping, gassiness and wet f*arting (sorry, no other way to say it), ribbony and stringy shaped bowel movements or rabbit pellet shaped movements are all symptoms of lactose intolerance.

    Basically allergies to certain foods such as milk and dairy will produce all these symptoms because your digestive system has been compromised by it's inability to digest that food .......... You need to pinpoint the culprit here and eliminate all dairy milk products for a couple of days and note how youthen feel ............. this includes foods such as milk, yoghurt, ice cream, cheese (although cheese is extremely low in lactose and you may still be able to tolerate it), cream etc.etc.etc.

    please ensure that you take a calcium supplement containing vitamin D3 as they both rely on each other for effective absorption and increase your intake of non dairy calcium rich foods as calcium is essential for healthy bones, teeth and for heart health and also for a healthy digestive and neural system............... do you also have problems with headaches and migraines, insomnia and irritability and moodiness and even achy bones ?? If so, this is because your calcium intake is being hindered by the lactose intolerance ♥

    foods rich in calcium are ~ leafy and green vegies, sardines, salmon, tofu, organic nuts and seeds, peanuts, walnuts and sunflower seeds (ensure all nuts and seeds are organic to avoid pesticides, preservatives & sulfites which may disrupt effective digestion) kale, broccoli and collard greens.

    Also ensure that you are drinking loads of fresh filtered water on a daily basis as being a bit dehydrated would only further stress an already compromised system ............. ;0)

    Antacids such as Omeoprazole & Gaviscon will only at best bandaid the situation by temporarily resolving your symptoms ~ their main function is to alleviate the reflux by neutralising ALL the acid in your stomach, that's a Bad thing because you need stomach acids such as hydrochloric acid to Digest your food .......... hence, the next time you eat your symptoms recurr because your stomach acids are diluted and useless and the source of the problem ....... Low Stomach Acid has not been addressed.......... Increase your stomach's production of hydrochloric acid by eating more foods rich in magnesium ie ~ leafy and green vegies, fresh fishes such as tuna, sardines and salmon and by pinpointing foods to which you are allergic....... you really do need to try to resolve this problem from the source as acid reflux is NoT an ongoing problem if you deal with it at its root cause ie ~ effective digestion.

    hope this helps u a  bit

    peace 2 u

  4. daft as it sounds cider vinegar...not particularly nice to take but it does work and quickly

  5. Enzymes are the way to go  our bodies need them to keep the acid regular in our diets  give it a try find them in the health store believe me if you start on a drug to stop heart burn you will ALWAYS have to take them the body starts to depend on them........one other thing make sure it is not your heart

  6. Pepcid

  7. Try PASTEURIZED Aloe Vera Juice. You can mix it half/half with apple juice(also pasteurized) and it won't taste bad.Drink it twice a day to start and then when you start feeling better you can back off to once a day until you are confident you are better.I do recommend getting checked out by a Doctor though.It could be something serious if it happens to you often.You can find the Aloe Vera Juice at most health food stores.Make sure it is pasteurized though.

  8. Start with Zantac 75.

  9. My biggest concern is that you may have full fledged reflux disease. If that's the case then I'd recommend going to the doctor and talking about it. Dietary modification has fairly limited evidence, though certainly there's no harm in trying most of the suggestions are they are healthy enough anyway. There are also some definate risk factors for reflux that you can modify - losing weight for example if you are overweight.

    There are two reasons that i'd suggest taking it to a pro. Firstly, constant reflux may have an underlying, treatable condition such as a hernia. Secondly, long term reflux disease can cause pathological, irreversible changes in the oesophagus which in turn are a risk factor for cancer (DON'T freak out, this occurs at a very low rate and requires a long period of disease).
