I had a colonoscopy today and an endoscopy and the Dr told me that the APV and all the lemon in my water is causing this. I told him that lemon is an acid that turns alkaline in your body and he said that he was a chemist and that APC and lemon are no good.
All the natural drs don't agree.
Any opinions?

I know this will sound strange, but when I have acid reflux I go and take an aspirn.
I know that aspirn is asycalic acid (sic), but aspire is buffered to keep the acid in the aspirn from hurting your stomach. It calms the acid reflux down pretty quickly.

Ha! Yeah, it's a battle of the different docs is all. Do what you know is right for you. I have had every single Western Medicine doc tell me I was going to kill myself with the herbs I'm on - yet they have no answers or pills that can help me with the things the herbs do for me.

They aren't taught about natural meds, so they are simply against them.

And as for acid reflux - did you know that to little acid in the stomach actually causes many of the same symptoms as too much acid in the stomach. So if you have tried everything for acid reflux, you might want to try a little at home test (because you won't likely find a doc willing to test for too little acid):

D-Limonine could be your answer.

I fixed my acid reflux five years ago. They said I needed surgery or get throat cancer. I said no way!

Tried alkalizing my body- nothing. ACvinager- nothing. Acid Rx Meds made it worse.

Whet gluten free, limited sugar, took candida herbs, and found a natural supp that was icing on the cake- D-Limonine from Jarrow.

D-Limonine is a great unknown suppliment and works for many with reflux using one per day. Its a form of citrus peel extract oil.Yep.

After everything settled down for several months, I re-introduced bread again with no issues, although some will scold me for doing so.

Acid reflux is a cycle your body gets stuck in, once the cycle is broke, it goes away. When I feel it coming back, I take one D-limonine gell caplets and I'm fine for months.

Also-

I might have had low stomach acid from undertreated Hashimoto, I tyr to keep my throid levels up to par now. And take Magnesium glycinate so I'm regular in the AM - all this helps too.

Astro - I looked up the Limonine - I have phlegm in the bottom of my throat again...I wonder if it's acid reflux...although I don't feel any burning.
But, I've read about 'silent' acid reflux...and it can produce cancer...so here I go worrying again.

I read that it "stimulats the liver's Phase I and Phase II detoxifying enzyme systems and supports normal immune function" - BONUS!!

Girlie-

"it stimulats the liver's Phase I and Phase II detoxifying enzyme" - WHAT? Really? D-lomonine does that to? Thats what I need. Do you have a link with this info? Those are some of the mutations that I have a lot of and sam-E does nothing for my liver that I can tell.

I only take D-limonine every few months now- just when reflux tries to come back. I had no idea it had positive results for liver detox.

Phlem can be the bodies way a protecting against reflux. When I had reflux, it burnt at night and went into my mouth, it was bad. I would gag for air sleeping and abruptly wake.

The Jarrow brand is WAYYY more affordable than Enzymatic therapy brand - for the same stuff, and it works.

Girlie-

Guess I'm not too observant, it mention's liver detox phase I and II right on my Jarrow bottle that I dug out of the back of the cabinet..

Since I started taking this years ago for acid reflux, before I knew about my liver methaltion issues, it didnt seem important at the time! I didnt re-read it till now. Funny.

I'll have to bring this to my Drs attention.

So i wonder how this detox's the liver? Not much info on it.

Wow, it does a lot, even has anti fungal properties, clears gall bladder sludge.

Hear I thought I was just helping my reflux with D-limonine.

I had horrible acid reflux from steroids. I couldn't even drink water without acid reflux. I was taking two nexium a day, zantac before bed and gaviscon in the night. I was referred for surgery. I ended up getting it under control with ACV and baking soda. Look on the Earth Clinic site for testimonials about this. I went through hell before finding ACV and baking soda. This was several years ago and now I rarely need anything for reflux.

For me, it came back when I started the minocycline...and now with the Rifampin it's even worse...
I have to take the rifampin on an empty stomach, so that doesn't help.
i don't know if I have acid reflux - as I said - I don't have burning...but I also have read that your body can produce phlegm in response to the reflux.

I would think it takes years before it would cause cancer...???

Girlie-

If / when it burns up to your mouth/ teeth / lips in a horizonal position during sleep,(its an actual startling event) its eating away at the esofigil (spl) lining - thats what causes the cancer. The burning is very obvious, so you probably have nothing to worry about. Like I said, its a startling event, that can occur nightly.

I have the head side legs of my bed blocked up 5 " for the last 6 years. That helped too. I slept in a recliner for one month in the past.

It just never seems to end - one thing gets better, and then something else pops up ...or returns.

It's depressing!

The Jarrow D-limonine was like magic for my reflux. Glad that is under control no thanks to modern medicine at all! Try it out even if you have a light case of reflux. Like you found its good for the liver too. A few citrus burps in the first hour, thats it. Take at night and you wont even know.

Clara- Well, reasons for reflux are different for different people. Thats why what works for us is different. D-limonine was life saver for me.

All the RX anti-acid meds made me worse.

If nothing work for you, it may be a diagram muscle issue at the top of your stomach, or H Pylori.
