Re: Stomach troubles...trying to avoid Zantac use

[Guest guest]

Is she on any enzymes or probiotics? If so, you could possibly increase those a

bit for a short time.

Just a thought, Charlene

My daughter had some bad acid reflex last night and woke up this

morning pretty nasty. She reacted to tropicana orange juice sunday I

think this just set things off.She has dealt with acid reflex for most

of her life prior to SCD.

Does anyone know of any natural remedies I can use...I really don't

want to use zantac, I think her stomach has been upset since

sunday....I should of seen it coming but I missed it again...that is

why she ate so much roast beef last night...she wants to eat when she

hurts.

She still has some acid reflex this morning...even while sitting up.

I really don't want to mess up the balance of her stomach with Zantac,

but I don't want this acid in her lungs. she is not doing badly now

but one more night lying down .........

thanks,

Charlene,

She is just taking 1/2 caspule of scdophilus twice a day( 6 weeks

now). It took a long time for her to tolerate this amount.

More probiotic might make it worse.

thanks,

CAthy

Hi Cathy,

<< My daughter had some bad acid reflex last night and woke up this

How about these ideas from our 'old Elaines children List/Lyris file':

#1. " Would a little baking soda in water help? That is what I give my

son. It would help with acid and reflux. I put just about 1/8 and

maybe up to 1/4 teaspoon. Not much.

D. "

#2. " Visceral manipulation, for which we go to a chiropractor. Look

on the

website www.iahp.com to find someone in your area who does this. The

chiropractor says that if there is tension or pull in the thorax

area, the

esophageal valve might be closing too far down into the stomach,

causing

acid to back up into the valve. The physical technique of visceral

manipulation can help relieve the tension, causing the valve to

relax. This

website also lists people who do cranio-sacral therapy.

"

#3. " That is what stopped it earlier - water, as you and Sherry =

suggested. My son's GI doctor just called and did think it sounded

like =

reflux. So that would concur with your observation. And the alkaline

=

items like pineapple juice might help.
