Acid in my stomach...help?

I use to get it since ive lost abit of weight it has disappeared.

I think it's potentially dangerous to give medical advice on here, or anywhere, but I don't it would hurt to try prilosec for a week or so. If that doesn't take care of it, see your doctor. Acid can be very destructive to the esophagus in addition to causing misery for you, so I wouldn't ignore it..

I have heard good things about apple cider vinegar, which you could try at home and it probably wouldn't hurt you. I do reccommend going to see a doctor. It could be gastroesophogeal reflux disorder (GERD) which can cause long term complications by eroding the esophagus and causing ulcers. It's easily treatable with over the counter meds or something stronger prescribed byu a physican. it may also be dietary without you realizing. Caffiene, spicy foods, greasy foods and citrus are some of the biggest culprits. Also, and this may suprise some because milk and dairy are considered "basic" when it comes to pH, but becaue the protein chains are so long in dairy foods the stomach has to work a little harder (produce more acid) to break down the food. Try cutting back on any of these foods for a week or so and see how you do. And though it's fine to try some of these things at home, remember to see your doctor! Also try to remain upright at least 30 minutes after meals. i used to suffer from reflux almost everyday no matter what I ate and when I quit eating all the junk I was eating it resolved on it's own. many people can control it with diet, but some cannot. It's really an awful feeling and I hope you find some relief soon!

I had a similar issue a while ago and saw my doc (deffo recommend you see your's btw), and my acid was caused by an issue with my gall bladder. I was advised to reduce my fat intake, and the issue has now gone! Another plus point of MFP!
