I took protonix and at first it helped but after two weeks I started getting soreness in the solar plexus area. Turns out I was deficient in enzymes. I take probiotics, and enzymes now and feel better. You might want to try slippery elm, dgl, aloe Vera to sooth and help repair. Eat an apple after eating and no more ppi’s people.

I have GERD and Barrett’s esophagus and I have tried a lot of stuff. Am on here because I was just suffering from burning in the throat, ears and chest…bread and eggnog didn’t work, antacids and Gaviscon didn’t work, tried yogurt and milk and they didn’t work either…didn’t have anything else like bananas or apple cider vinegar nor even baking soda in the house…but I will tell you two things that do work…tagament HD or generic version and cough medicine. Works wonders. Acid reflux will also cause congestion. Take Muscinex…took Muscinex D when I took the tagament HD 200 pills (yes, mine was so severe I had to take two) and after about 20-30 mins the burning (which is so severe it brings me to tears and has me begging God to deliver me) eases and dissipates. NOW, I will chance going back to bed and sleeping in a 90 degree angle…because laying elevated doesn’t help me…have to be sitting upright. I also might add that out of the three acid reducers, cimetidine, rantadine and famotadine (please forgive spelling) only cimetidine or Tagament HD 200 will work for me. The other two is like popping candy. As for proton pump inhibitors, which are different than acid reducers, willnot help the burning.I take Prilosec OTC religiously and didn’t miss a dose and still ended up with the burning (woke me up at 2 am). Nexium quit working for me. Protonix quit working for me. Previcid stopped working for me. Eventually, Prilosec OTC will stop working as well. Anyway, hope my experiences help someone like I needed help earlier when awaken at 2 am!

Am suffering from a nasty heart burn from last couple of hours (actually from last few days) and having a cup of tea with loads of ginger right now. It has relaxed me already!

six months back i was suffering with Acid reflux so badly. At that time i was roaming hospitals like anything bcoz it was hurting me so badly. Finally i have used homeopathic medicine it was very good now im not getting that much but some times only means when i will eat masala food or spicy food. So we should try to reduce spicy foods.
as of my knowledge cold milk taking in the morning is very good remedy for acid reflux.it works very well.

Don’t wear tight clothing around the abs. Though you may like to show off your six pack;-), tight clothing puts more pressure on the stomach and can cause more acid to reflux into the esophagus.

OMG I suffer from heartburn everyday of my life take antacid pills pay a fortune and they barely work. Sometime a teaspoon of red vinegar does really work.. Well I just tried the baking soda and water it does work BUT taste terrible rather do the vinegar. I am going to try the apple cider vinegar I’ve heard about that many times.
