Do you use the root and do you make a smoothie with it? If so do you peel it then grade it, I have read to use 1tsp a day. Or use the powder form or pill form?
I am not going to try anything else besides ginger, dgl I have already started and maybe enzymes and calcium along with the Dr Kaufman diet and the evamore water. I'm tired of trying to find all these different things that can help or heal. I have finally came to the conclusion that only diet changes and maybe these couple of natural products will help and only take advice from people who stick around and try to help with as much advice as they can. Thanks guys!

My daughter makes herself a smoothie every day with vegetables and she puts her ginger into her juicer with the rest of the stuff - uses fresh ginger root.

Here is a link you may find helpful:

I use Ginger pills, 2 in morning and 2 at night. They seem to help along with the other stuff I take.

Thanks for the responses! I am having a really hard time with all of this. I don't find many receipes in the dropping acid book I would like to eat..... Any suggestions on bland food meals with chicken or shrimp would be greatly appreciated. I have only been eating mashed potatoes, chicken, broccoli, culiflower,bananas and oatmeal no sauces or anything, its really boring and I'm really tempted to eat other foods that aren't good for me but I know this will only hurt me. To go from eating whatever I want to this is just hard for me.

Erica,
I had a question for you.... Do you take calcium because it helps with the symptoms or because you take a ppi? I'm thinking about getting back on the aciphex just because it helped my chest pain and right now that's my worse symptom and was thinking if I took calcium maybe it wouldn't have the long term effects on me and I might be ok to take it long term.

Merry5363,
Are you still having these symptoms since you have been using the betaine, calcium, bio k probiotic and dgl that you posted about in the "please share a success story" thread?

All symptoms are gone, since May 2012. Think it took about 2 months to completely settle down and again I credit all the posters here for every suggestion of things to try. I read through many, many of them looking for help.

I take the calcium because I have been on a PPI for a while. My doctor recomended citrical petites so that is what I have been using. My goal is to ecventually ween down to zantac but I see that as a long process.
