Guest guest Posted April 28, 1999 Report Share Posted April 28, 1999 I used to have a lot of trouble with acid reflux. Now very seldom. I do not eat for 2-3 hours before laying down (bedtime, etc.) . I avoid spicy, tomato based (spaghetti, etc) chocolate (I can't give up entirely) avoid carbonated drinks, etc. Also, during the day sometimes my food doesn't go down well (hiatal hernia??) - I undo anything tight (belt, bra, etc) (sometimes at awkward times - just wear loose clothing). Also stress hurts - tightens things up. If I haven't eaten for a while It seems to help if i drink or eat a tiny bit slowly before I really dig into my meal (like priming a pump). Also I sit up very straight and take a few deep breaths if I feel it starting. I am still experimenting with different things - but this seems to help me - if you have other suggestions I would love to hear. I don't like to take medications if I can help.

Guest guest Posted April 28, 1999 Report Share Posted April 28, 1999 Phyllis, My sister has had a problem with this and my brother, who teaches at Palmer Chiropractic College, gave her an " exercise " to do that has helped her a lot. You stand facing a corner of the room. Place a hand on each wall and then lean into the corner. Hold. This should help loosen up those tight muscles and open up the chest. It isn't strenuous so it can be done as often and as long as necessary. What the heck, it's free! Hope it helps.

Guest guest Posted August 16, 2010 Report Share Posted August 16, 2010 It depends on if you're having it because you're short on stomach acid or if it is happening because the flap at the top of the stomach isn't closing properly. For the former, make sure you're getting adequate chloride (found in salt). The latter, I'd suggest eating several tiny meals a day - be very careful not to over stuff yourself as that can contribute to that flap not sealing right. (Pregnancy can also cause it, and unfortunately, in that instance it won't likely be alleviated until birth.) Chronic gassiness, to the point where your abdomen is regularly distended can also cause this issue, so if you do have gas, determining what is causing the gas would be a must. -Lana " The art of simplicity is a puzzle of complexity.

Guest guest Posted August 16, 2010 Report Share Posted August 16, 2010 I have spent my life living with GERD and acid indigestion literally since I was a small child. Having recently gone back to school to be a midwife I am taking courses like Physiology and Anatomy and I have run across this several times now that B12 or lack thereof is the reason for these issues. I personally have not stepped up my B12 but seeing as I have tried just about everything else I am considering it. Dr. Mercola also has mentioned the B12 connection. So just passing it on. Let me know if it works and I will let you know as well once I get myself to the store to buy some B12. I am also curious being a student midwife how the lack of breastfeeding we had as a children might also have affected this. I have not seen any studies on it but I do know that breastfeeding sets up the whole GI tract and a baby that is breastfed is totally different in the GI tract, small intestine, stomach, etc. from a formula fed baby. Do any of you know if you were or weren't breastfed? I know I wasn't having been born during the 50's when it was so out of vogue and bottle feeding was the " in " thing. Our bodies were so abused as our mothers even fed us cereal almost as soon as we were born and now they know a baby can't digest anything but milk until about 6 months. Had to have affected us!

Guest guest Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 Dr. Batmanghelidj (watercure.com) has a book out called " Your Body's Many Cries for Water " and says that heartburn is a symptom of dehydration in the upper digestive tract. He recommends taking a glass or two of water at least 20 minutes before a meal, and then again about an hour or two after the meal. He also recommends mixing 1/2 gallon of plain water with 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt (not table salt) and using that water. The sea salt helps replenish the electrolytes that can be depleted. If you drink a lot of caffeine or citrus juice, those are both diuretics. Also, pure water is the best diuretic there is. I haven't had heartburn or acid reflux, but I did drink lots of plain water (usually 3 quart mugs or more) every day and tended to get a sock line on my lower legs by the end of the day. It would often stay there until the next morning! But when I started drinking the water with sea salt in it, that stopped. I don't use the sea salt water all the time now, but I can tell when I'm getting dehydrated and need to drink it again for a while.

Guest guest Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 I have read about B12 too, that the same cells that make intrinsic factor make hcl. It makes me wonder though, if you increase hcl, that doesn't make you increase intrinsic factor so there's still the problem of b12 absorption. They say it's hard to get through supplements and liver if you don't have intrinsic factor.

Guest guest Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 , You may want to check out the book why Stomach acid is good for you. It's about using HCL to treat acid reflux. I did it for a while but I was nervous about taking hcl when I wasn't sure if I needed it. There's something called the heidelberg test which tests for stomach acidity http://www.healthmonthly.co.uk/health/therapy/acid-test.html He speaks of it in the book. I think the book is really interesting so it's not a waste of time to read it even if it's not the right path for you. Also there's a test using baking soda, and you wait to see how long you burp and there's one described in the above link that tests how much hcl you need by taking a little bit more every morning until you get a burning feeling but I read another article somehwere saying you could be taking too much hcl and not get the burning feeling which I never got a burning feeling. One could say well maybe I have very little hcl but when I did the baking soda test I wasn't too far off. I can't remember the baking soda test but I think it's been discussed on NN if you do a search. You time how long before you burp after taking it. Actually Idol once told me about ginger juice having an effect of healing the esophageal flap. So maybe people can have enough stomach acid and still get acid reflux. Also there's a website called earthclinic.com with all sorts of suggestions. The interesting thing is after reading the article Carolyn posted and learning about the strong connection to candida, I started taking the coconut oil again and it has helped. I also then saw on earth clinic someone saying the coconut oil was the only thing that helped their acid reflux. > > > > I have no idea what this guy is saying in this article > > > > --- In , " doublethink03 " <doublethink03@> wrote: > > > > > > Mine vanished after going raw paleo, but now I'm experimenting with Matt Stone's stuff, he has an article about it: > > > > > > http://180degreehealth.blogspot.com/search/label/heartburn > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 Did you try Hydrochloric Acid? Many times reflux is due to low acidity in the stomach, causing the stomach to churn extra hard to try and do the pancreas's job, throwing up the little bit of acid into the esophagus. Liz Lipski's book on Digestive Wellness explains it very well. I heard her talk on the Layna Berman radio show, " Your Own Health & Fitness " .

Guest guest Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 Here is a link to a page that describes several antifungal foods (good for when you think there is a connection between your heartburn and candida): http://www.candida-cure-recipes.com/treatments-for-candida-albicans.html I can see where these might be helpful because, if your esophageal flap is damaged, as long as it is not healed, it will probably play host to a fungal infection...and they can keep it from healing. --- In , " crayfishfeed " <crayfishfeed@...> wrote: > > , > > You may want to check out the book why Stomach acid is good for you.

Guest guest Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 Also in the Liz Lipski book, " Digestive Wellness " , she says it's easy to test yourself for lack of Hydrochloric Acid. On an empty stomach, just before a protein meal (ALWAYS a protein meal, be it meat or cheese or yogurt), take one tablet. If you feel a slight burn, then you don't need it. If you feel no burn, take another. Keep taking them until you feel that burn - that's how many you need to take with each protein meal. I also sprinkle enzymes from jell capsules directly on my food. You need to stop making your pancreas work so hard; that's what causes it to turn cancerous. Re: Acid reflux > >, > >You may want to check out the book why Stomach acid is good for you.

It does feel remarkably like reflux, although for me the sensation is predominantly in the neck area and does not extend into the chest cavity. Also, food feeling like it is stuck in your throat and quick to come back up if you bend down, could very well be that the food is actually stuck in your throat thanks to an enlargement of the thyroid. When combined, both sensations can feel to me as though I have bile in my throat or that I just threw up - even though the sensation does not extend below my collarbone. I've had hypothyroid symptoms for nearly 5 years now - apparently I've had a cystic cold nodule that entire time, but I've also got a smaller hot nodule and an overall warmer than usual lobe, so my blood tests always come up normal. It wasn't until a few months ago when the cyst got visible to the naked eye that my thyroid complaints were taken seriously and the appropriate scans were done to reveal the nodules and compensatory hyperfunctioning of the lobe. Anyway, once food gets to your stomach there is a flap that should be keeping it in there. So if you're feeling like food is so ready to come up, there are a few things I suspect: 1) the flap is bad 2) you possibly have a thyroid issue 3) your stomach may be trying to void a food you are allergic to and 4) (far less likely) you could be eating entirely too much in a single meal. -Lana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 22, 2010 Report Share Posted August 22, 2010 Well, I think it depends on what foods you're eating raw. It also depends on if your mineral balance is skewing with the raw foods. The vitamins/minerals/aminos you need for hypothyroidism are Iodine, Manganese, Selenium, Tyrosine, B2 and B3. It would also help to avoid Fluoride, Bromate and Goitrogens. -Lana " The art of simplicity is a puzzle of complexity.

Guest guest Posted August 22, 2010 Report Share Posted August 22, 2010 My husband had " heartburn " forEVER and it was often accompanied with acid reflux. He had tums and rolaids in EVER nook and cranny, the car, the office, the bathroom, the living room, even under his pillow. I did a little reading (at least 11yrs ago) and read that celery juice helps to restore stomach acid. I then began juicing him celery and apple juice daily. It went away 100% and has been gone ever since. Of course along the way we began to eat healthier as well. michelle --- In , " crayfishfeed " <crayfishfeed@...> wrote: > > Hi, I was wondering if anyone knows of any effective treatments, remedies for acid reflux.

Guest guest Posted August 24, 2010 Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 Saw Chiro today who highly suspected hiatal hernia. He attempted to adjust it. Said it was pretty tough may have to do it a few times. Feels like some one punched me in the gut a few times now . But the first time tonight in 3 yrs or more i had a meal that has not bothered me. I keep waiting for the symptoms to arise but so far none. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
