I think I have acid reflux. 32yrs old overweight female! I wake up with a bile tast in my mouth in the middle of the night and feel like something is coming back up my throat if I don’t sit up. During the day I burp a lot. The back of my throat feels full and sore sometimes. I have 4 children so eat quickly at meal times is this what is causing it?
Does anyone know of a natural cure for it? Any other life style changes I need to make. Please help me I am a very busy mum and need to stay on top of things!
Thanks for reading this!

stay away from: chocolates, carbonated beverages, fried food, tomato products, citrus (acid) products. Use Tums as opposed to all those fancy products.
Lose weight. Slow down. Eat slowly. Don’t eat anything for four hours before going to bed. Prop the head of your bed up by three inches. It won’t affect your sleep.
I have had the problem for 30 years. These are the things that worked for me.
Yes definitely slow down eating. Also cut out acidic food, like tomato based foods, citrus, spicy food and also deep fried foods. Also try not to eat within a couple of hours of going to bed. My husband also chews gum after each meal and this helps increases disgestive juice to aid digestion and stop the food coming back up. You can also try to prop yourself up in bed at night with a couple of pillows. Good luck.
I have acid reflux. I was prescribed a medication for this and took it with great success for years. Then I started drinking apple cider vinegar every morning. A tablespoon mixed with my veggie/fruit powder and some water. You could mix it with anything.
After three weeks of this, I stopped taking my prescription just to see if it works, it did for me. I no longer have to shell out big bucks for a pill, a cheap bottle of apple cider vinegar did the trick.
Also, most doctors reccomend you lose weight. All that excess weight and indulgent eating contribute to your reflux.
Lemon Balm tea would be a good start, at least to treat the symptoms. Diet ALWAYS plays a big part in this as well. Cut back on caffeine, it aggravates the problem, drink plenty of water, make sure your getting your fiber, constipation can cause pressure and aggravate the condition, and before meals you might try eating organic grapes (organic to avoid ingesting pesticides) the enzymes in grapes aid with digestion so your less likely to get that "urpy" feeling after eating. Avoid carbonated beverages, they will also aggravate the condition. Fennel is another herb that can help with the urpy burpy problem, it decreases gas in the digestive tract, and yes you can blend the 2 herbs in the tea, it tastes very pleasant. And lastly, increasing activity (physical) will also aid in this situation and also assist in taking off the weight ( also irritates the problem). There are several herb companies that you can purchase these herbs from on line, Mountain Rose, Frontier, San Francisco Herb are companies that I have purchased from fro years. Good Luck!!
Apple cider vinegar is supposed to help.
I agree with the people who suggested apple cider vinegar. Put a tablespoon in a cup and fill with hot water. Drink first thing in the morning.
I was recently diagnosed with mild reflux, and here are things I have learned:
1) If you can, try to lose some weight (I know, easier said than done!).
2) Soy yogurt works for me. I have it for breakfast with some granola, and it’s fairly soothing.
3) Don’t eat so fast! That accounts for the burpy feeling you get. Your husband will have to deal with the kids while you finish your food.
4) Drink lots of water.
5) Stay upright for 45 minutes to an hour after eating (i.e., don’t lie down after a meal).
6) Don’t eat within three hours of bedtime.
7) If you can’t elevate the head of your bed, at least prop your head up with pillows.
9) Try yoga or some relaxation program–tension causes reflux.
I haven’t given up the foods people say to (although I’m vegan, so I don’t eat meat, dairy, or eggs), and I do fine.
Good luck!

I have taken prevacid for several years for acid reflux and still not found total relief very frustrated I have tried to make a life change and get healthier in doing this I discovered Nikken and found all natural way to help with the great number of medical problems I have one of wich as I stated befor was acid reflux Jade green zymes (barley grass) although I don’t really care for the taste and it smells like spinich I have found great relief in fact I no longer take the medications and no longer wake up in the middle of the night with the agonizing acid reflux episodes so I guess if relief is what you are seeking anything is worth a try
Apple cider vinegar one tablespoon 2 times a day.Some people add it to a glass of water it helps me by taking the spoonful and chasing it fast with water.
