A tip from an acid reflux sufferer. Try Gaviscon Canadian or English version, it contains 250 -1000 mg of Sodium Alginate which forms a gel raft when taken which floats on top of stomach contents. This raft prevents stomach acid from leaving the stomach, it works for about 4 hours a dose. The United States Gaviscon uses Aluminum hydroxide instead which doesn't work.

How can you say that PPIs are "so safe"? Is there not a host of problems that arise from lowering an already too low level of stomach acid? Osteoporosis, SIBO, pneumonia, increased risk of heart attack to name a few.

[@bluepsiongamer4909]

They are generally safe when used short term up to six months. At least this is what my doctor told me. You don't want to take these drugs long term.

[@jeanmackie1331]

Excellent presentation. So easy to follow

[@seblinatilahun1266]

I don’t respond to PPI’s but my doctor isn’t really looking for other diagnoses and it makes me so sad, wish I had this guy as my doctor

[@tinac9212]

Try to get another opinion and more tests. PPIs are over-prescribed and can have many side-effects if taken long-term.

A natural remedy for acid reflux is by eating a red (delicious) apples. The more ripe the better. Make sure you remove the skin before eating. It worked for me and my family, friends and co-workers. Apples has alkaline effects which neutralizes acids.

[@RetroWitch1970]

I was diagnosed with acid reflux years ago yet I never have any symptoms other than nausea which I was told is from gastritis. It makes no sense

[@CavalierNSN]

See, this is confusing. If a PPI stops stomach acid production (albeit for a while) and must be taken before I eat, what happens when you need it? Like when it's time to break down the vitamins I take? This presentation gives me no confidence that I'd be absorbing things properly or even breaking down the food I eat properly. Isn't that what indigestion is? We are talking about the second step of the digestive process. If you don't have the acid to destroy pathogens and breakdown what you ate what good will it be in your small intestine? Your colon? There's got to be something else I can do.

[@randydueck6870]

Youre absolutely correct. While this presentation has some useful facts, it dances around the very serious issue you just stated. You know why? Because PPIs are the #3 top grossing drug in America. Anyone who fails to mention the serious side effects of PPIs is either mislead or bought and paid for by pharmaceutical money. Watch more Eric Berg and Ken D Berry type videos and research the heck out of alternative treatments. There is hope. My doctor friend who actually cares says that 50% of his GERD patients get better with just apple cider vinegar. Its worth trying everything before bowing to PPI pill pushers.

[@maggiegarber246]

I never felt heartburn. I was at the physician’s office and said I had difficulty in swallowing sometimes. She sent me to a gastroenterologist who performed a “scope”, and I was diagnosed with Barrett’s esophagus. Been taking omeprazole for more than a decade, and I wish I was allowed to stop.

[@tinac9212]

Get another test for your condition. Look for new treatments for Barrett's esophagus. Look up side effects of taking PPIs for so many years. Get your magnesium level tested periodically if you really have to continue taking PPIs.

Hello, i see this comment was posted 3 years ago, i was wondering if there was any update on your condition as i have similar symptoms. I feel mucus in my left lung, however, i can never cough it up but the 2 instances a year ago in which i did cough something up it was this white, very sticky mucus, it was like glue.

What is your treatment Please ?

[@KimberleyBianca]

Thank you. I'm currently experiencing dysphagia, pain along my sternum when eating, slowly moving food, mucous in stool and other symptoms. I saw an ENT 3 weeks ago who said I have LPR and prescribed PPIs, but so far no effect and I still cannot eat solids. Due to COVID precautions, I'm having trouble getting appointments to get swallow study and GI testing. I didn't know the connection with progesterone. I had a new Mirena IUD inserted for my endometriosis about 6 weeks before this all started. I tried eliminating the suggested foods to puree but that also hasn't done anything and I've recently resumed those foods and feel better stress-wise. I was slim but am now underweight so I can't do the low fat diet.

Try removing gluten from your diet for a few weeks. That's what I'm doing now, eventhough I'm not diagnosed with celiac disease. At least I can narrow down the culprit for this food triggers.

@@serapiopena2776 Gluten sensitivity can have many symptoms. Children have different symptoms than adults. For me, when I was having an episode, I had heart palpitations and my pulse went up to over 100 rpm. It's worrying and that also trigger my anxiety which makes the symptoms feels worse. It makes me dizzy and I have to lie down. But eventually it will pass and know that you will be okay.

[@colmercer3315]

I'm now several days without gluten and so far I only experience mild symptoms after eating. Also for the acid reflux, elevate your been in an angle. I placed two books on the head part of the bed post. Raising the head part of the bed about 2 inches. In that angle, the acid stomach will stay down while I'm sleeping. So far, no reflux at night.

I have the same issue having shortness of breath. Had a scope done and found no Hernia they said bad reflux. So I started changing what I put in my body. No spicy, sugar, grease, No alcohol or smoking. Basically a keto diet and I fast for 12hours and my symptoms have gone down a lot. I watched videos of doctors talk about how you need to relax the diaphragm and let the sphincter heal so it will close better because it is irritated from the acid.
