My daughter has a very bad case of acid reflux and I’m trying to find her the very best doctor, no matter where he or she is. She throws up after every single feed and shes very fussy. None of the medicines or milks that they have given her is working. We are in the doctor every week because her case is so bad, and no one is doing a thing. We’ve seen 1 GI Specialist and all he did was change her milk and told me to call him if it doesn’t work. Of course it doesn’t work and now I can’t even get in touch with him. I’ve been trying for a week now and I’m tired. She’s been going through this since birth and she’s now 2 months old. I can’t stand for another month to go by and I have to see my child in so much agony and pain. So if anyone out there can help me please do so because I really need it right now. Thanks!

I HAVE HEARD IT ALL FROM ALLERGIES TO ASTHMA AND FROM ACID REFLUX TO HERNIA. WHAT EVER THE DIAGNOSIS I’M STILL FEELING ILL.
THIS IS THE PROBLEM THAT I HAVE COME TO UNDERSTAND OVER TIME: I SPIT A LOT AND IT’S NOT REGULAR SALIVA FROM MY MOUTH, IT’S THICK SALIVA OR ACID(?) FROM MY STOMACH, SO FAR I CAN DEAL WITH THIS. THE RARE PROBLEM ABOUT THIS IS THAT NOT ALL THINGS THAT ARE SUPPOSED TO BE BAD FOR ACID REFLUX SUFFERERS ARE BAD FOR ME. I HAVE NOTICE THAT I CAN DRINK PURE ORANGE JUICE WITH HARDLY ANY SPITTING SAME AS HOME MADE SALSA OR REGULAR TOMMATOES WHICH I DID NOT EAT FOR A LONG TIME THINKING THEY WERE BAD. INSTEAD SUGAR IN DRINKS MAKES ME SPIT RIGHT AWAY. AND IF IT’S CARBONATED IS EVEN WORSE. ANOTHER THING IS REGULAR DISTILLED VINEGAR IT MAKES ME SPIT TOO. WHEN I’M SPITTING IT USUALLY LASTS FOR 20 MINUTES TO AN HOUR. THE WORST IS IN THE MORNING AFTER A DINNER THAT WAS NOT GOOD FOR MY STOMACH. ALSO FRIED FOODS MAKE ME SPIT. NOW, MOST PEOPLE THINK IT’S JUST TOO MUCH ACID BUT ANTIACIDS DON’T WORK I’VE TRIED THEM ALL FROM NEXIUM TO PRILOSEC YOU NAME IT. WHAT THEY DO THEY MAKE MY STOMACH REALLY TIGHT THAT I FEEL VERY UNCOMFORTABLE. THIS IS THE OTHER PROBLEM WHEN EVERYBODY TELLS ME IT’S THE ACID REFLUX THEN I GO INTO EXTREME DIET THINKING IT WOULD GO AWAY. THE SPITTING STOPS FOR A WHILE BUT IF I EAT OR DRINK SOMETHING SWEET IT COMES BACK. AND I START ALL OVER AGAIN. OTHER TIMES I’M TAKING ANTIACIDS AT NIGHT AND IN THE MORNING I CAN HARDLY BREATH FROM A LOT OF PRESURE IN MY STOMACH. I THINK MY PROBLEM LIES WITHIN TWO THINGS A PART OF MY BODY THAT REJECTS SUGAR OR FRUCTOSE AND PERHAPS A LACK OF SUFFICIENT LEVELS OF STOMACH ACID, CONTRARY TO TOO MUCH ACID, AS MOST DOCTORS HAVE SUGGESTED. IT’S NOT EVEN THE H-PILLORI BACTERIA. ANYONE OUTHERE WHO COULD HELP, PEASE I’M DESPERATE AND TIRED OF DOCTORS GUESSING ON MY CONDITION AND GETTING IT WRONG.

Acid reflux is mainly caused due to regurgitation or refluxing of partly digested food back to esophagus. This reflux causes inflammation in food tube leading to burning sensations and pain in stomach and digestive tract. Once food has reached stomach, the lid of sphincter muscle should close properly and prevent food from refluxing back. But when due to some reason sphincter muscle fails to do so it results in acid reflux.

Though the root causes are often unclear, perhaps the most prevalent acid reflux cause is a poor diet. Acid reflux occurs during digestion, when the stomach churns up acid or refluxes it into the esophagus, causing a burning sensation in the chest or throat. So if you eat too many highly acidic foods like tomato sauces and/or fatty, fried foods, the stomach has to process an overabundance of acid. Too much acid can push back through a valve between the stomach and the esophagus called the lower esophageal sphincter (LES). Acid reflux culprits include but are not limited to tomato based sauces, fried and fatty foods, chocolate, alcohol, citrus fruits, peppers, and caffeinated beverages

I am 20 weeks pregnant, and I have acid reflux (before pregnancy) the medication that I took, I cannot take while pregnant. I have been using tums, but everything I eat causes it, and at times it gets so bad the tums have no affect. Any suggestions?

P.S: Already took Prilosec, and that doesn’t work.

recipe for natural remedy for acid reflux calls for 1/4 teaspoon baking soda, 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar, and 250 mg water. need to know how much water that is in ounces or cups.

Or do you take a medication for arthritis pain that does not cause your reflux to flair.
