GERD ACID REFLUX

Hi,

Well it does pretty much come down to drugs or surgery (if you are found to be suitable). But . . If you are willing to work hard with your diet you may want to take a look at Sunbeam's thread on the Koufman diet. Other members feel better for going vegetarian, others make some progress with supplements or herbal products. It's a question of how much exploration you are able to do. You should of course follow the advice recommended by your PCP and GI consultant, but you may find there are things you can add on that give some relief. For most people it's a compromise between how much medication they can tolerate, how much discomfort they can live with and what else is on offer e.g. Surgery.

Have a read of Sunbeam's thread and see what you think.

Hi thanks for the replies, I would like to get out of the medication they don't seem to work, I have just given up all medication 2 days again and having rebound a plenty. This is not the first time I have done this though so know what to expect. My symptoms are Sore thoat, chest pain, and stomach pain quite severe at times but as of now have never had severe symptoms of more than one at a time. 2 day ago had very acidy mouth is now better but getting chest pains instead these will go and I will be left with just stomach pains strange eh. I take my meds and the pain gradually moves back up again to my throat and mouth. I have thought at times my body is going from very acid to very alkaline does that make sense?  I need a happy medium.
