Kumbucha For GERD?

Yes. You're on the right track with balancing your gut bacteria. Kombucha was a bit too harsh for me, but water Kefir was amazing.

You'd also want to treat yourself for H.Pylori as you recolonize your gut with good bacteria.

It's been a challenge, to say the least. Some days are better than others, however, and I'm thankful for the good days! It's amazing the things that help and don't help. For instance, drinking plain water sets me on fire. Feels as if I've swallowed hot coals, best way I can describe it. But, drinking vinegar and water seems to soothe the burn! Who would've thunk? And a few (4-6) raw unsalted almonds, chewed slowly and completely, seems to help with the milder heartburn. But Tums makes it worse ... I do have an appointment with a new Gastro Dr. in August. Half way afraid he's gonna yell at me for going off the PPIs.
