Acid reflux

[Guest guest]

I understand your desire to go natural. This was a huge problem for us - son

was up between 9-12 times a night. 1 Prevacid 15mg solutab per day has

dramatically changed all of our lives. Just FYI.

I'll share my acid story with you. Our son had always been a terrible

sleeper and had always cried a lot. He is nonverbal. We finally had him

scoped by a DAN! friendly GI doc. His esophagus showed severe acid reflux.

He had burned for years and couldn't tell us. He had scar tissue in his

esophagus from it. The doc prescribed Prevacid solutabs 30mg daily. After

two doses, he was almost like a different kid. Everyone kept asking us why

he was so happy. I guess it was because he wasn't burning any more.

That was a couple of years ago. He is now off the Prevacid, but still

nonverbal.

We've had success with making a tea or gruel (depending on how thick you like

it) of

slippery elm. Hot water, slippery elm, a little cinnamon, and honey if desired.

NOW brand

slippery elm dissolves well. Dh, the kids, and I all like the way it tastes.

The slippery elm coats and heals irritated mucous membranes in the esophagus.

Have you tried giving the bedtime supplements with a snack?

My own personal opinion is to look for different types of foods that might

physically be causing abrasions and discontinue using them. For example: breads

with corn meal embedded in the crust can have a sandpaper effect and sharp edges

on French fries can scrape away on their way down the pipe.

One food additive I am concerned about is diatomaceous earth. I read that when

it's crushed and looked at through a microscope the particles resemble bits of

broken glass. D.E. powder is used as a pesticide. When insects walk across DE

powder it slices open their exoskeleton causing them to dehydrate and eventually

die. It's used for a variety of applications from fleas to parasite control in

animals also.

Does this stuff create micro-abrasions in the human digestive system I really

don't know for a fact, but if it slices and dices the way it's claimed to I

think it needs to be studied in relationship to a host of potential problems

throughout the entire human body. It may actually be a leading cause of acid

reflux and who knows maybe even colon problems?

You might only eat a scoop of ice cream or a single milkshake here and there,

but since it is in many foods as a filler DE powder could be a major factor in

health problems.

For me, ALA appears to be a cause of gastritis and erosion in the

stomach. If you are giving ALA, you may want to stop for awhile to

treat and allow things to heal and then make sure you give it with

food.

I developed gastritis on large, infrequent doses of ALA, and more

recently I seem to developed it again on a frequent, low dose of

ALA. It is very acidic stuff and people/kids who are prone to

stomach irritation should be cautious IMO.

Stomach problems are horrible.

Some other supps can irritate the stomach as well. I have had

problems with ascorbic acid (acid form of vit C), and between

meal enzymes (virastop and candidase).

Does he tolerate all the supplements? If I take something I don't

tolerate, I have really bad acid reflux.

I use digestive enzymes, which help with most of my reflux issues.

My son used to wake up screaming as well...he was having episodes of

sleep apnea along with reflux so it was hard to tell what was

causing what. I recently found out his adenoids were almost

completely blocked through a simple xray done by the ear nose and

throat...could this of caused my son's sleep problems for his first

two years of life? Absolutely...and he was on Zantac and Prevacid

almost his first two years of life...I think I should of had his

adenoids checked A long time ago and removed...just my opinion...I'd

have em checked even just to rule it out...

Hi . My son had reflux from yeast and bacterial overgrowth.

He was on large doses of Prevacid at the time. It was a viscious

cycle. As reflux got worse, dosage was increased, reflux

worsened...etc.

I started him on Grapefruitseed Extract and weaned him off of Prevacid

at the same time. It took less than 3 weeks to get him off of 45mgs a

day. And the reflux was manageable with natural yeast/bacteria

fighters, including GSE. I use it and Enzymatic Therapy Yeast Balance

for my own occasional reflux.

Enzymatic Therapy makes an Orange Oil product, I have never usd it, but

it was recommended to me some time ago.

I add a tad of baking soda to acidic foods like

tomatoes, iced tea, etc. and it sweetens it by

neutralizing the acid. But I see that you want

something that actually does something for you, rather

than just adding sodium. How about grating a calcium

pill into it?

Thanks to everyone who responded to my Acid Reflux question. I'm also

going to try Kids Digest by Enzymedica. I'm thinking it'll be gentler

on his stomach since it's geared towards children. I'm also going to

try the chewable probiotics since it doesn't have to be mixed with

juice (he only drinks milk and water). Since it's chewable maybe it

also is geared towards children and therefore also gentler on the

stomach. For anyone would like to comment about these products or

give additional advice, please feel free to do so. The more

information I can get the better, I say.

[Guest guest]

What is left to eat? I thought I was on a tough diet.lol

I take protonix twice a day and it has been a life saver. I also sleep on my

left side. I learned about that when I was pregnant what a blessing that was.

I was told the lining of my stomach had all been eaten away because of the

medicines and nerves. I also have sjorgens and have to be careful of what I take

and do.

I can't eat anything with acid more that 2x a week or my mouth gets blisters and

I will even break out in hives because my body makes to much acid.

I swear my body hates me!!!lol

Oh gotta keep laughing no sense letting it get to you.

Every day you can get up is a good day even if it stinks!

Acid Reflux aka GERD is actually quite common for us. I

myself have

had a hard time with it....mine is mostly caused by my medications

gastro gave me a list of foods allowed and Not allowed.. Food NOT

spiced dishes, coarse cereals, salad oils,salad dressings,

mayonnaise, raw fruits,fresh HOT bread, fried foods, gravies,pork,

only make it every couple weeks as opposed to weekly. I also use

Oh Joanne!!!

What a diet on top of everything else!!! I also have GERD, AIH, PBC, Sjogrens,

My major reflux problem was solved very simply. I take Nexium every day and can

Same here! I can eat anything I want as long as I take the Nexium

every day. I haven't had an episode since I started on it 2 years ago -

used to wake up choking and unable to breathe. An added plus of the

Nexium is it can repair damage already done.

Take care,

Hi Jeanette. That is more likely to happen if you eat too many carbs and/or

those not on the candida diet. Try having mostly protein and fats at supper,

with little carbs and see if that helps.

When you wake up with that feeling take 1/4 tsp. of baking soda mixed in 4-5

ounces of water (preferably warm, but don't microwave it) and slowly sip it

until your symptoms subside.

Drinking before sleep would not cause that problem.

Hi J,

Many, many people have trouble with digestion and what is often diagnosed as

acid reflux or excess stomach acid occurs because the person actually has LOW

stomach acid. Please see this article on Bee's website for some helpful tips and

hints to help your boyfriend's digestion

I don't get his point either except to eat crappy food and it will go away.

Been there done that it won't . The things that make mine better are more raw

foods and things he says are a crock. I do not know that i actually have any

heart burn but i have food in throat feeling that won't go away for hours and

hours after meals. Bending over it will will feel like it is going to back up

in mouth, etc. I wish i could make this go away. I have not found what works

really besides hardly eating and eating raw foods when i do. I tried all sorts

of digestive enzymes, pro-biotics, fermented foods. I almost feel like the

ferments make it worse. I feel the burn there instead of digesting. W/o

ferments no burn just food still there.

Can anyone tell me if this is reflux? If i go see a doc what kind of test

should i have done to determine what my issue is?

If so, I'd suggest you get your thyroid checked out.

I have heard this before but don't see how it's my thyroid as opposed to food

when if i burp food could come back up, if i bend down it feels as though the

food is going to be forced into my mouth etc. It is food, not a lump.

HCl - i was on GAPS it made this worse (and i got constipated, still am 1.5 yrs

later since going back to a low carb WAP - prior to GAPS was not and this food

issue was more rare than frequent). I t ook loads of pro b's like 20 pills a

day tec... of the BK as the book and GAPS forum say after removing fiber if this

happens you need more flora. SO i was taking laods of pro b's and daily

ferments eithre drinks or veggies - at least 2 or more cups. It advises taking

HCl which i did, plus i was taking a broad spectrum enzyme, sweedish bitters.

Drinking RAW ACV or lemon in my water, ferments, etc. Sometimes all of the

above before and after meals.

I was taking up to 6 pills of HCl per meal plus a couple or more of the broad

spectrum. Like another mentioned i was scared to take anymore cause it seemed

like this should be high enough between pills, the drinking and bitters. When

doing all this i would get burning feelings later in my throat and food not

going down was not really alleviated. So i pretty much stopped all that

supplemental stuff. Still have the food issue but no more burning and gurgling

in my throat or feel it all raising up when in bed. It seemed to me it was all

the stuff making it worse like too much acid cause i never had it creeping up at

night or gurgling in my throat you could actually even hear it, not just feel

it.

I tried the baking soda test before all of this and the result was i should not

need any digestive assistance.

I get hiccups a lot which one WAPF article indicates reflux. Sometimes as soon

as i wake hiccups. Or after my morning water. So it can be when i am not

eating, have not eaten for 14 hrs and i get hiccups from drinking water or raw

milk. I burp after almost everything i eat now including raw foods. I used to

never burp like that only after starting WAPF and taking more fats like CLO etc.

Now it is everything including water.

I have not gone to see a GP cause i figure they will blow it off say here too

much acid take this when i think there is something else going on but do not

know how to pursue it. What tests are available. How do they check for a hiatal

hernia. Is there other things it could be? Does delayed gastric emptying cause

this if so what causes that? I am not sure what direction to go.

All advice is appreciated.

[Guest guest]

Lana, Thanks for the reply. I did not know that about the thyroid. Makes sense

now. I suspect hypo as my temps have been low for a long time. Used to be

waking 94ish when i first started NT now waking is about 96.- 97. Number is

least likely although there are times i do over indulge LOL. Very rare. SO do

you think the fact that raw foods seem to stay down better would affect the flap

issue? Is the flap issue hiatal hernia or is that something entirely different?

If it were food allergy it would be a lot of them then...... please not that one

.

Does anyone know if i go in how they would DX this.

> Recently I had been making excellent progress on the programme (3 years and

counting) with new healing/detox symptoms appearing (and then disappearing

again) every month. However the past 2 months I have developed acid reflux/GERD

in my oesophagus, which isn't going away. I find this perplexing, since I have

never had it before, and for the past 6 months had really been experiencing

better digestion, as a consequence of taking HCl (between 4 and 8 tablets of

350mg each meal, depending on level of protein) and carefully chewing or

sometimes even blending foods.

+++Hi . You may not need HCl supplements any longer, so that may be

causing your reflux/GERD.
