Has anyone cured their acid reflux?

My grandson had very bad acid reflux. He started taking 2 tsp of Bragg's vinegar (health food store or some markets) He puts one tsp in a large glass of water and drinks it twice a day. His reflux is gone. I have also read comments on my fitness pal that people are also taking Bragg's before meals to loose weight. Kill 2 birds with one stone. Hope this helps

YES! It really works! It was the only thing that would stop the horrible heartburn I had when pregnant. I drank it every night. You can also add baking soda to it to make it taste way better. Google Apple cider vinegar and baking soda and the recipe will show up on the earth clinic website. Hope it helps you!!

I used to take Nexium for mine but once I cut out soda, tomatoes, citrus, fried food, and red meat I don't need the Nexium any more.

I used to take two Zantec (150mg) a day. One in the morning and one at night. I have lost roughly 40 pounds (from 238 to 199) in just over a year and have cut out a lot of pop that I used to drink. Along with the better eating and elimination of pop, I have not taken a pill in almost two months. Even spicier foods don't seem to bother me as much now. Hope it works out for you as well!

Since I quit drinking, smoking, and following the SAD diet, I no longer have acid reflex. Eating healthy and exercising has done the trick.

I'm another one who's reflux has diminished since losing weight. I wont say I'm 'cured' though, excess fat and certain spices can get niggly.

Mine is not cured, but a lot better. I have the HH, so a lifetime of a proton-pump inhibitor is likely. However, I suffer a lot less than before, and feel fantastic.

I had it really bad for years. I even ended up in the emergency room because it was causing me so much pain. Ended up they diagnosed me with GERD and said the acid had eroded part of the flapper thing in my esophogus that goes to the stomach. That was the pain. I was on prilosec and tums and everything else in between for years, the pills made me feel awful and I still had problems. My dad introduced me to Papaya enzymes. I started out taking about 6-8 at a time every time I felt heartburn, they are chewables.. then I would take a few in between if I felt it coming back I know I took them at least 3-5 times a day like that for a while, then the heartburn became less and less frequent, so I took less and less... I took what I needed to get by. Now, I only take them once every blue moon! No heartburn, no pain, and no pills! I swear by it! It helps build digestive enzymes, and is just plain good and healing for the digestive system. You can get them at walmart or walgreen for sure. They are in a green bottle with a yellow label in the Vitamin section. Good luck! And you definitely have to take them in high doses in the beginning to see a difference and for them to build up in your system!

Bump (i think this is a interesting topic)

Hey brandalee ......i had severe acid reflux too. And I took meds. Meds might make u dependent or make the condition worse. It's good for short term. And the best cure is red apple . Take two red apple a day and u will definitely see results within weeks. As Apple is alkali and it neutralises the acid in the stomach. Also add a little weight loss with it for a permanent cure

Zombie thread!

Losing weight and changing my eating habits definitely got rid of the acid reflux. Missjulesdid's post actually made me think that part of this may have had to do with my dairy intolerance since I was drinking coffee brandy with milk on almost nightly basis. But my food choices and amount of food had a lot to do with it as well. I still get it once in a great while but usually after having something spicy and/or greasy like pizza with meat toppings (pepperoni, sausage)
