is milk good for soothing the stomach with gerd present?

its supposed to be soothing for the stomach.

that might be an old home remedy but does that work for anyone?

i love milk and wouldnt mind drinking some to soothe the tummy?

I was thinking about dairy products. I like milk but some people have trouble with dairy.

i also like and drink soy or almond milk.

ill try some bannanas.

I am under medical care. In fact i say my Gi specialsit today.

He told to take some ppi's, ive done this in the past and they helped.

we'll see if it helps again. I dont want to take them long term though.

Natural remedies im also willing to try.

As far as water, i drink lots of it, however, too much seems to aggivate the gerd. My doctor me that the water will just push the reflux back into my esophagus so i drink water but dont over do it when having bad gerd.

thanks all!

What is interesting is that standard liquid milk has much more Lactose than Yogurt or Ice Cream.

Here's a good article:

The less Lactose the less acidic ash upon intial digestion.

This tends to explain why I can tolerate Yogurt and Cheese better from a reflux point-of-view.

FWIW,
