GERD/acid reflux leading to other conditions.?
Hi, for the last 2 years I have suffered through acid reflux/GERD which was originally caused by H. Pylori. The reflux symptoms have lessoned quite a bit, from very severe to mild now. I had a homeopathic doctor recommend me to take PH Balance by Pascoe, which alkalizes your body, so for the past 2 months I have been taking this and its helped out a lot. They also said to drink aloe vera juice which helps heal the damaged tissue. The problem is, now that I don’t experience the heartburn anymore(mildly), I am now always bloated, constipated, and have a weird sensation on the right side of my abdomen, it feels like theirs a lot of pressure. I was also getting a lot of red rashes around my body, but that seems to have gone away now.
I was just wondering if GERD/acid reflux can lead to any other conditions?
If anyone reads this, and wants to try out the PH Balance pills, they should know that it will take about 2 weeks for you to notice any changes. You also cannot just take the pills and eat lots of acidic foods, and expect your body to alkalize. I suggest reading more about acid and alkaline foods. Make sure your Aloe Vera juice is organic, and don’t drink it for too long, because it is also a natural laxative, and you do not want your body to adapt to needing the laxative all the time.

It can lead to other things, depends on how severe your condition is, your age, and how long you had the disease. But I think you should go see a digestive specialist in your case and talk to him about your concerns he might have an EGD done to rule out other conditions caused by GERD. I didn’t know all that stuff can calm acid reflux. Gotta buy me some aloe vera! I tried everything with GERD and nothing seems to work tremendously so the doctor is going to do that EGD test for me.
Hey, I’ve been having that GERD thing for the last few months. Supposedly it can lead to cancer by damaging the lining of the esophagus, but I think your symptoms are probably a result of the stuff you are taking. Try eating some cherries to clean you out, that should help. I’m going to try what you are taking, and the PH Balance is good because they say that cancers cannot survive in an alkaline body. Hope you are feeling better. Make sure you are drinking lots of water.
