salicylic acid facial scrub
- Using a facial scrub regularly over the course of about 10 years is what initially caused me to have acid reflux. Now I have it chronically.

avoid Fermented products
- Eat fresh food, avoid spicy, sour and fermented food products. Take tea without milk, do not keep your stomach emputy for long, do not eat pickle. Do not drink much water after lunch or dinner you but take little in mid while taking lkunch or dinner. Do not sleep during day time after heavy lunch similarly do not sleep in night immediately after dinner.Try to take fibrous food more, This will help a lot.

Himalayan salt
- My biggest triggers are chocolate, coffee, tea, tomato products, and curry. I heard on a TV show that Himalayan salt is suppose to help. I am ready to try anything natural as my meds for the acid reflex have given me bacterial overgrowth and I have stomach pain now with the acid reflex. Hope to receive it soon and try it.

Burning throat

GERD is interrupting my life
- I have had acid reflux for many years but it has become worse in the past year and a half after a major anxiety attack. I have a problem with coughing, breathing and excess phlegm. I have started to try to eat as little as possible so I dont give my stomach reason to flare up. I have tried PPIs, but they either make it worse, do too little or have undesireable side effects. I'm looking to my specialist for more choices. This is interrupting my life. I drank alot of coffee in the past and ate bad - now Im paying for it.

spaghetti sauce
- I had trouble with spaghetti sauce all the time. i heard that adding a small amount of sugar (white or brown) to the sauce helps cut down the acidic properties. It has worked for me very much.

Burning throat
- I used to have a bad cough for 6 months or more and been on and off to doc why my cough never disappear until I was diagnosed with Acid Reflux. Since then I know already how to make it slow down with food, what to eat or not, but still then I still have a burning throat even though I am so choosy already of what to eat. It is really depressing sometimes not to be able to eat such a wonderful delicious meal, but I guess we just need to take extra care also for what we eat and should it be good for our body. I am still seeking what to help to ease my burning throat but as of now am so thankful now as my cough was gone already. But hopefully my sore throat as well. I guess the best thing to avoid acid is Just Try to eat at the right time, avoid too much alcohol and keep stress away.

Acid Relux and Vomitting
- I have been vomiting for months now. I finally went to the doctor and he gave me some pills for acid reflux. I would have to say that my problem is still there just a little less frequent. It comes out of both ends after I eat anything. I've been eating Crackers and Watermelon for two months and that seems to be the only thing that really helps. Maybe because there is nothing in my stomach. I'm going to a GI specialist and hopefully he can figure out what is wrong with me. I'm still pretty young I should be healthy. This problem affects my everyday life and I can't take it anymore.

Heartburn
- I get heartburn from hell, but recently I had to visit my Doctor for another matter and he told me to cut down on sugar and salt. I have and its made a remarkable difference. I no longer get heartburn, but if I do, its very mild.

white bread
- I can't eat anything like a sandwich or baking at night. Also potato chip and coke give me major heartburn. One can only take so many Tums and other over the counter meds. Even fruit will sometimes trigger a nighttime attack.The best solution for me is to stick to meat of any kind as a night time snack. It's not surprising really. We ate meat and fruit for probably one hundred thousand years up to the Neolithic Revolution when all of a sudden in the last 5000 years we ask our bodies to adapt to grains.

Bell Peppers

tomatoes and heavy meal
- My heartburn occurs when I eat food w/ tomatoes.& after eating a heavy meal. I try not to go to bed.
