Try drinking more water. This may help.

I find that a tbs of raw apple cider vinegar in a glass of water helps me. I

recently started taking bromelain with meals, and I don't have the heartburn any

longer. Mine was really mild, though, so I am not sure if it would help you

much.

HCl capsules are great, too, as long as you don't have an ulcer.

by the way, i had horrible acid reflux about a year ago for several

years. as soon as i cleaned up my diet and left out coffee, alcohol,

teas....the reflux disappeared quickly! that included any heavy foods.

i'm all on veggies - mostly raw and meat (little red at this point)

however. i figured all were following such a diet for the most part so i

hadn't mentioned until now but i figured since it's still being

discussed maybe this will help someone. i was even coughing up tons of

phlem and on rarity a tiny bit of blood when i ate too much dairy! it's

been years since blood and it only happened twice but the coughing

happened up until late last year 2004. Vinegar actually gives me some

reflux so beware. Plus it isn't recommended for candida. Cheers.

Jenn,

The cure for inadequate stomach acid, hypochlorhydria, which is

behind symptoms of reflux in the vast majority, is to not

neutralize it further with TUMS or any antacid, but make MORE

acidity.

When acidity is increased, the vomit response, and the GERD, goes

away because the BOTTOM valve of the stomach opens into the

intestine instead of the TOP valve, which you note as the burping

and reflux of the vomit response.

Acidity is inceased with glutamic acid or betaine Hydrochloride

(HCl), both of which have an acid tacked onto the molecule to

make your stomach more acid.

I take a product called potassium humate. It is from ligneus (coal) and

has a profoundly alkalising effect on the system. It is black(!) and

tastes like shoe polish, but it has certainly helped me.
