Re: Re: Connection between methylation and GERD/Chardale

[Guest guest]

Thanks, Chardale.

I have a couple of questions. I've been upping my probiotics and I'm taking

something by NOW called Acid Reducer plus Enzymes - it's a combo of calcium

carbonate and digestive enzymes. It seems to be helping. But if what Rich said

is true, and it's actually low stomach acid that is the problem, how does

Prilosec help? Does lowering the acid help the probiotics and colostrum take

better hold?

More questions:

I have dairy issues as well. Where can I find the Capra goat colostrum? And were

you saying that it takes 6 weeks for the probiotics/colostrum to kick in? How

much of the probiotics and colostrum do you take and how often?

Thanks again!

> hi , mine is a little different but some similarities. I was getting

nauseous and having gut pain after eating and having heartburn. I did two things

that are handling it. The nausea is caused by leaky gut syndrome which I treat

by taking bovine colostrum and a good quality refrigerated probiotic. I just

found I have dairy allergy so will be switching to goat colostrum. For the

heartburn I take 50 mg of Prilosec twice a day. It takes about 6 weeks for the

colostrum/probiotics to get the guy situation settled if I stop taking them for

awhile. I had terrible IBS before and don't have any issues at all if I stay on

it. Synertek is the brand if bovine colostrum and I use Jarrow probiotic. I'll

be getting Capra goat colostrum now.

Hi , I'm not really sure what the Prilosec is doing or how but I know it

works for me. I've read some things about Prilosec that concern me so would

eventually like to find a natural supplement to replace it but I just have to

get through this herpes in my lungs flare before I try that. If you get any

insight I'd love to hear it.

The goat colostrum I've ordered is at www.mtcapra.com. It costs $60 for two

months. I take the recommended dose of 1/4 tsp twice a day. From what I've read

the powdered kind gets absorbed better than the capsules or pills. The bovine

colostrum is at www.synertek.com and is the same price and dosage.

And yes it takes me about six weeks to get over an IBS flare if I've gone off

the stuff which I have done periodically because it's pricey. I'll usually get a

year of freedom without it then I have to go back on it.

 Thank you for all the suggestions - I'm saving them. That first answer below

seems to answer my original question. BTW - I did the baking soda test and I

burped once, in less than a minute. Now I'm all confused!!

Thank you for your responses.  

I do have discomfort now, every time I eat. Especially in the summer. I am going

to see a genetic specialist who may diagnose me with EDS (Ehlers Danlos

Syndrome) or MCAD (Mast Cell Activation Disorder) and in either case, it is

recommended that a patient take, in combination H1 and H2 inhibitors, in the

morning and the evening. H2 inhibitors are like Prilosec or Zantac and H1

inhibitors are Benadryl and Zyrtec. 

In terms of natural remedies - they kind of contradict what the doctors from

above recommend - as one of our problems is the low amount of acid in our

tummies which in turn gave us acid reflux. So, the goal, as my nutritionist

mentioned a couple of years ago and another member just listed here, would be to

up the acid for eating and then lower it in between eating in order to control

the pain of GERD. In between meals, I take aloe vera and probiotics and drink

teas with fresh ginger. With meals I'm taking enzymes and eating very

slowly. I've been trying to reduce acid between meals with that NOW enzyme/acid

reducer I told you about. I don't tolerate Zantac or Pepcid very well.  

I'm going to order the colostrum soon, so thanks for that too.

 It's all a work in progress, because the more I try to work with my stomach,

the more symptoms I'm having.

Question:  how do we know that we are balancing the serum,

tissue, stomach PH?

I thought that taking urine, serum, or digestive, tissue sample

would all differ in PH?

How to balance all those??  Confused...
