acid reflux

[buselmo]

My wife made some fettuccini alfredo and i ate around 3 plates... then i raped a jar of nutella...
I couldn't sleep last night from the damn acid reflux... this is the first time it gets this bad (guess i'm starting to get old )... everytime i swallow i'd wake up in pain!

any remedies for this?

Annoying...

AR can be SO uncomfortable. I'm sure there are several remedies but just a couple...

1) Don't eat two hours before bed (I know you're bulking right now, but just mentioning)

2) Put a brick or two under the head legs of your bed, inclining the head 5-10 degree's. The incline helps keep the acid from leaking up.

3) A TBSP or 2 of Apple Cider Vinegar with a glass of water.

4) If you have to eat late at night- keep a good record of what foods affect you the most, the least, not at all, etc.

Prevacid works for me. Peace.

hey buselmo, i agree with everyone on here about the prevacid. ive been on it for 3 years now, and no acid reflux (i had it so bad i started getting ulcurs) i have it prescription. they now sell it over the counter, but its only 15mg a pill. my scrip is 30mg pills. in my opinion i would 1. take 2 pills a day, 2. get the doc to get you a scrip for 30mg pills. it takes a few days to kick in, but it works great. good luck

(i say 30mg, because this is prescription strength)

I use the drug Rantidine (Zantac) when I have problems.
A pinch or two of baking soda mixed in water will help too.

 

[icecap]

pineapple works good too, but Zantac is my choice an hour before eating.

 

[VTliftVT]

My high carb days have been torturous for some time. I tried the prevacid mentioned above and it does work. I stopped though as you suppose to cycle it and I honestly wanted to find a better means of controlling my AR problems. I started taking Coral Calcium 3 times per day and I have not had any issues since. Maybe try that out before you go for something stronger?

 

[New_Mass]

also watch those onions in your food as onions with me use to stimulate acid reflux

 

[JETHRO TULL]

Buselmo, my mom got that.

Vinegar works. No kidding.

 

[buselmo]

thanks guys!
but i was looking for something in the lines of what JT, VTliftVT, icecap, alin and myosin had in mind... NATURAL remedies...
i'm all for pharma stuff, but i'd always like to try and cure it naturally first.

but what's the major cause? decrease in stomach pH? I hear a lot about vinegar, but isn't it acidic and would contribute to the problem?
one thing that helped yesterday was i ate a bunch of cucumbers and lettuce... the baking soda idea sounds good...

i'll try them one by one... and if it doesn't work, i guess i'll go with zantac (it's the most widely used medication for AR here... that and Gavicon)

thanks guys

The problem actually is that the stomach does not produce enough acid, I get it so bad, that I Verp in the middle of the night and choke on it as it goes into the lungs and I can't breath and I fling myself out of the bed (lol) because I can not get a breath in or out, and then choke up the acid that went into my lungs for the next hour or two. Not eating a couple of hours before you go to bed is the best remedy, I use Prevacid which works well, and if you eat before you go to bed you need to figure out what you can eat and can not eat, I am at a point that I just take some LBA's and Tblsp of peanut butter, I am to scared to eat a real meal, waking up not able to breath is nothing nice..you can try to take a shot glass full of Balsamic vinager once in the morning and once in the evening helps to regulate the acid. works well for me and I can stop taking the Prevacid for a time hope to stop all together, good luck it can be a bitch..

My wife had me try this JT, But don't forget to tell him how much it burns going down.....

I wouldn't worry about that... drinking water at the moment feels like drinking acid...

btw, how'd that work for you?

 

[rhinofight]

Well I guess you can take drugs for it, but that's just treating the symptoms rather than the problem. I'd say proper food combining would most likely prevent it. For example, don't eat heavy starch/carbs with protein. Eat protein and veggies or carbs and veggies together. carbs and protein at separate meals. Worked for me. Also prevents gas and food coma.

if you try the baking soda, and after you take it, you feel ill, or a burning in your stomach, then id get checked out for a ulcer. the prevacid will do both prevent acid indigestion, and heal ulcers. i have had stomach(digestive tract) problems for years, at one point i was getting sharp pains in my left side of my chest. turns out it was due to the acid reflux. all of the remedies mentioned above do work, but do not help cure anything if you keep having it. (vinegar does work great in a pinch. i used apple cider vinegar) good luck bro........
