Is morning GERD or bitter taste in the mouth an indication of the rest of ur day?

For years I suffered terrible GERD, and I was on Nexium for a good 2 + years, without much help.

Then when I was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis, and the meds didn't work for me, I had to come up with some alternatives to help myself, which worked great in putting my UC in remission.

BUT as a side effect of a few of the steps I did, my GERD went away.

So I thought I would share these with you:

1) After every meal, I would use organic slippery elm powder, about 1 1/2 teaspoons to 1 tablespoon in 1-2 oz. of room temp filtered water, wait for it to gel just a little and then drink it down. What the slippery elm powder does is: it coates the whole alimentary canal.

2) I started a food combining diet, and that made a huge difference, because if you mis-combine the wrong foods it will create havoc, gas, distension, and the acid will back up....painfully so. Here's a link that explains about the food combining: http://cureforulcerativecolitis.com/step-1-methodology-to-eating

Since doing these steps, I have ZERO GERD! What a relief! I even get to sleep through the night without that aweful chlorox-like burn that used to wake me up by choking me.

You can rest assured your doctor won't tell you about these 2 steps because he/she probably doesn't know about them, and it doesn't put money in his/her pocket (or big pharma's pocket) if you are cured and never come back for this complaint.

Anyone try these methods?

It's up to you. I don't blame you for being skeptical. I ws pretty wary myself. But the system works. You can google or do an amazon search for food combining books if you prefer.

What about the slippery elm powder?

I get mine from Pacific Botanicals in Oregon.

I used to get that "sore throat" too. It's all gone.

They have a 2 pound minimum, and @ $20/lb it will cost you, with shipping, around $50. BUT this will last you probably for a good year.

Here's the link the specific organic slippery elm bark powder.

You can also get it from: Mountain Rose.

Let me know what happens when you try it.

Do you know how to use it?

You can get some weight loss, if you stick mostly to proteins.

But if you have the other foods (properly combined of course), it might shave off maybe 1 pound or 2 initially until your body adjusts to digesting more efficiently, and then you'll be back to normal.  The biggest plus is: No More GERD!
