    Most dairy products cause reflux in my case: Most milks, pretty much all yogurts, cottage cheese and most other soft cheeses (soft young goats cheese is fine though), and lots of other things. Very specific brands of full fat milk are fine, but others again aren't. Really odd: I've lived in many different countries. All dairy in Denmark was problematic and only certain hard cheese imports were ok while I could eat and drink pretty much everything in the Middle East.

    Basically: find out what the culprit is for you and try to ignore.

    oh my god. As an American living in Copenhagen who has never ever had a problem with dairy before, me too!!! I need to know what the hell could be causing this as i've spoken to one other person who has to eat dairy-free here as well!

    I also have bad recurring acid reflux. I am currently going on an elimination diet for other digestive problems, but i never had any acid reflux or problems until i was infected with H. Pylori.

    If taking omeprazole and reducing foods known to cause reflux (like spicy foods, fried foods, mint, tomatoes, chocolate, and alcohol) doesn't help, see your doctor! It could be H. Pylori which can cause ulcers.

    Yeah, getting tested for h. pylori is a good suggestion because if she has it then taking PPI's will only mask the root problem. H. pylori feeds on stomach acid and just destroys life overall. OP only mentioned the acid reflux though so hopefully it's not that serious.

    You're still having acid reflux after treatment for h. pylori? Did you get re-tested? May god be with you because I know all too well the damage that little bugger can inflict.

    I had h pylori and still have issues with reflux. I have been tested not long ago(the second time they will do a stool sample) and it came back negative.hubby had it and has hardly any issues. it can be spread to as well by saliva,. we arent sure who had it first hubby or myself.so if you suffer from h pylori and have a significant other its best they get tested too,as it can cause severe health issues even stomach cancer if left untreated.I read something like over 50% of the worlds population has it but doesnt always know until they have symptoms. kinda odd

    Yeah, it only becomes an issue when there's an overgrowth of it. Otherwise it's a good thing to have (like many other bacteria) provided there's no symptoms.

    I actually read a study that correlated obesity with h. pylori eradication. So it's like a little bug that eats our food thus regulating our weight (if you're skinny-average)?

    The more I researched the less I wish I had. I'm over it now.
