I read on the Internet all over that apple cider vinegar is a good remedy for acid reflux. My question is, how is this possible? They say the acid in the vinegar mimics the acid in your stomach and therefore it helps. But acid reflux is a result off TOO MUCH acid already…that has to be the case, since every medication they sell for it says ‘Acid Reducer.’ If acid reflux resulted from too little acid, you would certainly not need to reduce it. So how would taking anything acidic, like apple cider vinegar, help acid reflux at all? Wouldn’t it just make it even worse? I’m confused.

What foods should I eat and not eat? Any vitamins to take ?
I want to try this out before going to the Dr’s. I have diarrhea every day and I take prevacid for my acid reflux.

Acid reflux.
Coming out of acid reflux. My story may be able to help some of you.
They say that acid reflux is caused by poor eating habits and or bacteria in your stomach.
Right before my episode with acid reflux I was eating healthy, in perfect shape and had my perfect work hard.

Once day, I stared having all the symptom of acid reflux and no one knew what I had. This went on for months. I forced my doctor to check for Helicobacter pylori. which I ended up testing positive.

I got omeprazole (Prilosex) plus 2 antibiotics. 4 pills a day for 14 days.
After the treatment my stomach was hitching and I still had a hard time eating. I was still creating too much acid so my doctor give me again omeprazole (Prilosex). I refused to be on any drug and I knew that the omeprazole (Prilosex) was not the answer it was just a bandage without dealing with the root of the problem.

This is what I did:
I knew the Key out of this was: I need to keep the body alkaline, the bad bacteria don’t like an alkaline environment.
I stop take the omeprazole (Prilosex) and starting taking a of Jarro Dophilus EPS (can find it in health store). The 3rd day I started to feel the difference. I was able to eat more verity of food.
Aloe vera juice before every meal
Eating every 3 hrs small meal. No row vegetable – fresh steam vegetable only and protein. No oily or greasy food at all, not black chocolate , not alcohol, no caffeine, no soda and not spices in your food. Avoid hot water, somehow my system does quite down with colder drink and food.
I eat protein and green 3 time a day and a lot of low fat low sugar organic yogurt as snack and all day.
I take 4 pills a day of Jarro Dophilus EPS . One pill 45 min before every meal to help my stomach and intestines get their natural bacteria back while controlling the excess of acid the stomach is creating. Drink the pills with hot water It makes swallowing the pills easier.
I drink Apple Cider Vinegar (2 table spoons in 0.5l drink of water) throughout the day with a lot of water.
I don’t mix the protein & green vegetable with fruits.
Sugar create more acid so I am very careful with the fruits I eat (low sugar index fruits only) and I don’t eat any carbohydrate for the same reason.
I recommend: Cranberry juice-Prune juice (the sugar free type mix with H2O)
2 tea spoons of honey mix with water before eating.
Avocado-apples-banana-melon-walnuts-almonds-tofu-sweet potato-fish-Grilled chicken (legs grilled) easier on your stomach. Not red meat at the beginning it is too hard on the stomach. Camomile tea help digestion process.
Stop eating 3hrs before bedtime. I sleep with your upper body higher than the bed level almost in a semi sitting position.
I don’t lift weight or jog because I was creating too much acid and it was giving me some palpitation. (yes, the doctor said that the palpitation have nothing to do with acid reflux-there not connected-well doctor have news for you everything is connected and how can a super athlete with no hard problem get some palpitation every time his stomach create too much acid).
To avoid the palpitation, I ride my bike slowly without too much effort, and also walk. I make sure I space out my workout throughout the day.
Now I am getting better and I know you can be acid reflux free..it take time and patience.
I am almost certain that a lot of us will test negative for every test on the planet regarding stomach bacteria but small bacteria such as Escherichia coli-E-coli and other don’t really have a test for them and you could have something in your system putting your stomach out of balance. So fight back by drinking Apple Cider Vinegar to clean your system and work on increasing the growth of the good bacteria your body need. Mediation is a must in the healing process
Good luck to you all.

My 1 month is being given Zantac for her acid reflux. Just wondering how well/fast it worked for your baby? My doctor said it could take up to two weeks to really have an effect, which sucks. Did you use anything else with it that worked as well?

I take Prevacid on a daily basis but I woke up about a half hour ago and the burning is just unbelievably bad. So I’ve already taken two Prevacid and nothing has helped. I’ve got some heavy duty pain killers and could take a couple of those if I need to, but does anybody have any other suggestions for something that would be an immediate help for me…I mean as opposed to the life long changes in diet and exercise. I just need something that can help me RIGHT NOW. This is just killing me……………….

do any of you suffer from it and/or know a natural cure for it?

Hey guys. I have acid reflux and I don’t so much have heartburn but I have sharp pains in my chest after I eat. The doc, however says this is still caused by acid reflux. She had me have my heart ultrasound and a halter monitor just to make sure and those both came back ok. So, anyone else experience chest pains with their acid reflux…cause it freaks me out a little bit…

In the middle of night the past couple of nights i have been having a feeling in my throat, kinda burns, starts at the bottom of my throat. can it be acid reflex or heart burn? and can it make my ears hurt?
