Natural Solutions for Acid Reflux 

For everyone reading this, finding the banned book called “the hidden herbs” by anette ray should be your top priority

who else has heatburn now!!

Some people dont understand the mental side affects of acid reflux, especially when you have it for weeks. It makes you want to die, anything is better than burning from the inside out. And before I get the bitchy comment "stop complaining its not cancer" Ive broken bones before, and acid reflux, is both physically and mentally painful.

acid reflux is caused by stomach ph being more alkaline than acidic... to be blunt acid reflux is actually caused by NOT HAVING ENOUGH stomach acid, since there is not enough acid the food is not broken down properly and the esophagus fails to close completely causing acid reflux... and what do doctors perscribe for it?? ..... antiacids..... think about that for a minute... you're experiencing all of this pain due to low stomach acid and now on top of that you're taking stomach acid reducing medication... well now u feel better because the medication basically brought your stomach acid content down to zero, and obviously acid reflux can not occur unless there is atleast some acid. the problem is you're only patching the tire instead of changing it... it will come back again and again guaranteed. so now that you've sat and read all that, how do you fix it? well first it's important to figure out weather its acid reflux forsure because it could actually be an ulcer... to test this eat something. if you feel worse after eating its acid reflux, if eating makes you feel better u may actually have an ulcer. back to the acid reflux, heres what to do. 1. drink 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar with some water 10 minutes BEFORE EATING... the acid in the acv will help break down the food and the esophagus will be more likely to close properly... make sure to do this before eating! taking a shot of acv by itself with no food could actually make it worse... remember your symptoms are caused by LOW stomach acid, the purpose of the acv is to give your stomach acids a boost in the process of breaking down food so if you're not going to eat anything it defeats the purpose of drinking the acv... 2. lower your carbohydrate intake!! one of the main causes of acid reflux is the built up pressure in the stomach due to partially digested CARBOHYDRATES... stop eating sweets for a while, give your stomach time to rebulid and renew itself before u go shoveling donuts and cookies back into it... try a low carb diet just for a few days, maybe even just through the weekend. treat your stomach right and your stomach might just fix itself! 3. INTERMITTENT FASTING why fasting? because fasting actually puts your body into rebuild mode... it improves brain cognitivity, recycles and rebulids damaged cells in the body, lowers grelin (hunger hormone) and raises hgh (growth hormone)... intermittent fasting basically gives your whole body a cleansing inside and out... and also the most common sense reason out of all of the reasons, eating less. less food = less irritation on your stomach... I myself had bad acid reflux after every meal. i corrected my acid reflux in 1 week by doing the keto diet and intermittent fasting along with drinking apple cider vinegar before each meal... while i was doing the keto/fasting i noticed there was no heartburn at all, even after a huge meal... this was because i cut the carbs out and gave my stomach time to renew itself! today i can eat pasta, cake, burgers, pizza, and even spicy food with no heartburn... of course i eat all this junk in moderation, too much of it can easily put your stomach back on the path of destruction... i recommend watching some of dr. eric berg's videos on this subject.

acied reflex is horrible

Acid reflux can also give shortness of breath because so of the gas gets stuck in your lungs and it takes long for it to leave your chest area

It destroyed my normal life. I mean before I was just a happy person doing anything i wanted,now, I feel so sick always cause it literally happens to me multiple times in a day.

For those of you who suffer from acid reflux- does it ever cause you to throw up? I have randomly vomited every few months for a couple of years now but the last couple of days I have thrown up multiple times- hours after eating and is accompanied by heart burn/indigestion. Has anyone had the same experience?

This video helped me out so much years ago. I’m starting to cry from the painful memories I had, before I found this video. It would be a great honor to tell you personally how you gave me my life back. Thank you ❤

I’m glad he demonstrated with a big ass pink tube rather than just showing a showing a small model. If it wasn’t for that big pink tube I would’ve never got it

You guys need to drink at least 2 litters of water everyday, stop carbs and gluten and you’ll feel better.

Im 21 and I had this I hate Acid reflux this is so depressing 😭😭😭😭 😭

I'm currently crying. When it flares up. It never goes away for days

I get shortness of breath from reflux. So scary! Been to the ER four times in one year because of it. Thought I had asthma but my lung function test said otherwise.

I never knew acid reflux can make you feel like you're about to die, i layed down for a second immediately after eating and the i felt the acid get to my vocal cord and it started burning. I immediately got up and it felt like a knot was in my throat. Soon there after i felt pressure on my chest and got a little light headed, thought i was having a heart attack, but my esophagus was inflamed and it was making it hard for me to breath. The whole situation was scary, im not very old, but see i need to make some changes now.

When I eat right I don't suffer from reflux but when I eat what I want oh my God sometimes death sounds sweet

I have acid reflux for almost 7 8 years now...and according to my exprience best way to fight it is to keep stomach dry and full all the time with healthy food and remove triggers

I’m only 34 and I got this in my system because I was drinking liquor and a unhealthy diet I’m so glad I found this video

I have acid reflux it seems, I do get the burning sensation in my throat and warm stomach but what affects me the most is my chest, usually burns and can't really breath unless I'm laying down. Anyone else have this type of feeling?

I have it all day everyday and I'm only 18.

Dr. Berg says reflux is caused by lack of enough HCL in your stomach ..baking soda is not the answer to the cause ...low HCL ...

Oh my god I've been reading the comments and I just have to say it feels good that I'm not alone. I mean young 20 year old and my gerd/ stomach issues.... has completely changed my life. Thank you everyone for commenting and sharing your experience.

Hi Dr Oz. There is another natural common food item that is very effective and very fast and gets rid of acid reflux... yellow mustard. It works because in my research we need a certain of acid to digest our food. If don't have enough, the food sits too long in the stomach. I have done this many times and it works every time and in seconds. Mustard is tumeric, vinegar and low level of sodium that's it. Next time you get acid reflux, take one teaspoon of yellow mustard and see.

Great presentation, I have chronic acid reflux and I wouldn't wish it on anyone. Defiantly gonna try this...

Shortness of breath, something sticky stuck in my throat, and cough sometimes, but nothing comes out. Due to shortness of breath I get panic attacks. Please help

I have read many reports that say that in most cases acid reflux is caused by low stomach acid hypo chlorhydria , so taking any kind of antacid is a very bad idea . People should research this , it's a major scandal in my opinion .

Just been diagnosed with it myself. The feeling is awful. Nothing seems to work and night times are unbearable trying to find a comfortable position to sleep

Does anyone else get acid reflux where you have difficulty swallowing? I need some home remedies for that, it’s the worse!

Started Licorice a week ago and it really helps the heartburn, also baking soda for real bad attack.

I started eating healthy, cut back the coffee, cut out soda, and my acid reflux went away completely after 1 - 2 days. I used to have a burning sensation in my throat and stomach all day, everyday, but now it is total relief. The solutions in this video are only really for people with chronic non diet related acid reflux, or those who just want to keep their current diet and cover the symptoms up

🤗 Tips for my fellow acid refluxers 🤗 • Avoid the bad food & drink list for AR • Don’t sleep flat keep your chest and head elevated somehow • Keep an empty stomach 2 hrs before bed • Try to get off the medication unless necessary most OTC pills make it worse overtime and suppress the problem • Drink ACV occasionally • Try water fasting • Small meals - keep your stomach less full so that there is no “overflow” • If things don’t get better make an appointment for an endoscopy from your doctor. Best of luck peeps we got this 👍🏻🤗

For stomach problems just boil some potatoes. Potatoes work as a sponge that gets the extra acid and calms the stomach. There are pills made of coil, are black and work to reduce acidity. Very good if you have diarhea too. The coil and boil potato are the two best options I can think of when comes to stomach problems.

Apple Cider Vinegar works well. It balances the pH levels. Only needed because of crap diet.

Only one thing that stopped it for me, after decades of suffering. Keto. Can't believe it's now gone and I'm losing weight and feel great.

Is acid reflux caused by too much acid in the stomach or too little acid in the stomach? To me it seems like the too little acid explanation makes more sense. The sphincter closes tighter when it senses acid but food will sit in the stomach fermenting without enough acid so the sphincter will relax and then whatever acid is there will flow up the esophagus. This isn't too much acid for the stomach but is definitely too much acid for the esophagus. Or is some acid reflux is caused by too much acid in the stomach and some caused by too little acid in the stomach? So how can you tell which one it is to take the right remedy?

I recently developed acid reflux and I have been having it for 3 months already. My doctor did the whole camera surgery and told me the same thing that nothing is wrong. He prescribed me protonix 40mg tablet. They were working ok for a month but I still couldn’t drink or eat the way I wanted. And now I feel like the prescription is not working at all because I began to vomit a little bit again after I eat. I stopped taking them and began taking Dramamine which is just a medicine you can get at any drugstore to prevent vomiting . It’s been working ok but I know it’s not going to help me get better.I really feel helpless at this point. Iv been eating healthy for about a month and a half but I don’t feel like I’m getting better

He’s right about the asthma being misdiagnosed. I always had trouble breathing during sports when I was younger and it would feel like I couldn’t get a breath in. Everyone always thought I was just overweight and out of shape but I would tell them that it feels like I’m breathing through a straw and if I didn’t take a break I would get very light headed and even lose vision. We went to an asthma specialist and he diagnosed me with reflux and said I didn’t have asthma at all. Apparently when acid starts coming up, your airway will close so you don’t get stomach contents into your lungs and therefore you can’t get a breath in. I’m looking for natural remedies now as the omeprazole I’ve been taking for years seems to be causing hair thinning issues.

I've found success for LPR with using melatonin and DGL licorice as suggested, although taking the melatonin at bedtime instead of 2 hours before worked better for me. The baking soda I've had to be careful about as it's very high in sodium and may have caused or contributed to heart palpitations for me. Dr. Oz is recommending 1 tablespoon of baking soda dissolved in water. 1 tablespoon of baking soda is far too much due to it's incredible sodium content!!! The back of my baking soda box (Bob's Red Mill premium quality) says that 1/4 teaspoon has 280 mg of sodium or 12% of your daily intake. That would mean that 1 teaspoon has 4 times that amount, 1.120 mg sodium, equal to 48% of your daily sodium intake. Since there are 3 teaspoons to a tablespoon, you will consume 3,360 mg of sodium, 144% of your daily sodium intake, if you follow the advice in this video....and that's for one serving!!! Conventional baking soda like Arm and Hammer has even more sodium!! A google search of the sodium level of 1 tablespoon baking soda listed 3, 777 mg!!! This could seriously impact your health. Please be careful!!! God bless you all, reflux sufferers. I have been in your shoes!!! All my best!!!

A had bad acid reflux.nausea tighten in my throat headache..am praying it goes away

I hate to break it to you.. but ive been taking Melitonin nightly to help me sleep. Still have Acid Reflux.

Tips that worked for me - eat papaya, milk, hibiscus drink, oatmeal in water, avoid tomatoes with seeds, breads, sodas, onion, reduce saturated fats like cheeses, fried foods.

I have Acid Reflux, and I already have some damage done to my esophagus! From what my Doctor says taking a lot of antacid tablets can cause kidney stones! Put I do take an off brand of Nexium and it works for me! I try to be careful of what I eat! It’s not easy but it’s part of life!

i suffer acid reflux every day I have a lot of symptoms Heart palps, weak body, dizziness, sleep apnea, cant sleep easily, anxiety, vomiting acid, loss weight , breathing problems, brain fog, dizzines, allergy rhinitis etc 😭😭😭😭 they say that acid reflux is gonna be forever 💔💔💔💔 I dont enjoy life yet huhuhu

Drink a cup of water ( as warm as is tolerable) & 1 level tspn of baking soda. I guarantee it works .. cheap & easy

Thank God some all natural remedies I can try at home to help my LPR/ silent reflux! Anyone know what mg to take for the Melatonin?

The problem with taking antacids is that our stomach needs to be acidic to dissolve and take in the vitamins and minerals in our food, our stomach is supposed to be acidic

I am suffering with severe acid problems after suffering with H pylori I am currently taking gastromend HP, manuka honey , slippery elm, magstic gum and pro bio, ginger been taking for a week now, still getting the dizzyness blurry vision tiredness shakes burning feeling in my stomach. Been suffering for a year or so now with this. I live a hectic life so I do eat my food fast but I eat a correct diet.

n i thought they r showing med free solution

It worked for me!!!! I noticed the difference in about a month.

Everytime i start to suffer I go back to keto diet and it fixes it completely

The main reason why people have acid reflux is because they have low stomach acid. Why are you trying to make it less acid with baking soda? It is going to ease the pain temporarily, but the burning sensation will eventually come back again next time you eat. Apple cider vinegar or betaine HCL is the real solution to the problem.

I keep a jar of dill pickles same effect as the baking soda. I only eat fish and chicken as my meats. Plenty of green vegetables and salads to tie up the acid. My reflux goes through my naval cavities which makes me a little dizzy. Awful. Trip after trip to the doc. Same answers. All the different melons, pineapples, apples and Bananas really helps me. I've learned I have to stay consistent. No sugar ginger ale as well.

So now I understand the complete exhaustion and anaemia.

Its mainly a change of diet. Eat very clean, even no legumes or dairy and eat SMALL meals. Dont drink with your meals either. When I do that I feel great ! Im not doing it now lol

I ate lentils rice without oil so i dont have chest pain today.maybe that is what i have continue fr months

I'm 16 & I refuse to take my medication for a reason I should try One of this methods

I sit in the office for hours on end for the last 10 years... I now have a horrible case of GERD. I am convinced that sitting was the cause of it.

It's literally killing me. I can barely breath. It used to get Bad at night but Now it's hard to breath all day long. I"m scared. Starting today I"ll eat only fresh greens. My quality of life has gone down. l can"t bend over or clean my house. My little kids need me. When they cry and want to be picked up, l simply can't. They just cry alott longer, l can"t sooth them.

Dr Eric Berg suggests Betaine Hydrochloride Acid because of the deficiency of acidity in the stomach as a result of the PPI medication (proton pump inhibitors) which causes the sphincter to malfunction.

can we use baking powder instead of baking soda plz tell me ?

Who else has lump in throat feeling and hard to breath

It always happens to me when I’m sleeping and I can’t go back to sleep cuz my esophagus burns

I remember the Chocolate Factory episode on I Love Lucy where they come home after eating all those chocolates and Ethel asks Lucy if she has sodium bicarbonate and so I started trying that out. It works. I really just need to stop eating so much at night though. That's my weakness.

Well that's not how my body reacts to Melatonin. I'm taking it for 2 years for sleep, hasn't improved that much either. Since November '22 the acid reflux has gotten worse. When I swallow food it feels like there's a blockage and food has a hurdle to climb over. Last week has an endoscopy into the stomach. Nothing suspicious but have to wait for biopsy results. Hopefully changing diet will help.

Will anyone suffering with acid reflux also let me know if they also have horrible allergies?? I have terrible environmental allergies that get more triggered every year and I also have seborrhea dermatitis. Please let me know if you all have similar symptoms.

Thank God I did a research, cause I can't take it no more of Acid reflux

I cannot sleep this pain hurts like hell and I'm only 15 years old

Coconut oil helps, too. I put it in my hot drinks.

yellow mustard works best. The vinegar kills off the acid immediately. It burns but it's effective.

Thank God for Doctor Oz all this good information. I watch his show on Pluto tv all day.

I know he is an actual practicing doctor, but is anyone else hesitant to believe Dr. Oz after those hearings?

Mind doesn’t burn its just something is stacked in mu throat😐😭

best naturall remedy is half a cup of loose parsley flakes and a cup of water let it dilute for a minute and then spoon small amounts into your mouth (you have to take take small bits because dense) by time parsley is gone, so is the heartburn and taste in mouth. try it at least once! amazing

I used to get it a lot because of unhealthy foods. I tried a table spoon mustard which was supposed to K'Od it in seconds. I believe it made it worse. I use the baking soda. Took an hour or so. But I'm just changing my diet. Best remedy. Careful what you put in your temple.

I had the worst acid reflux, I wondered if I was having a heart attack, so much PRESSURE in my chest and pain like I've never felt. I took my pepcid as usual, it didn't work. I literally wasn't able to do anything as it felt like my chest was going to explode. The BAKING SODA water helped! If you hare having severe reflux/heartburn. Try the 1-2 T baking soda in cold water. It tastes DISGUSTING! I had a small cup of strong tasting grape juice right after to sip (not drink) to get rid of the horrible taste. I am amazed that so many youtube videos suggesting baking soda was right. I hope all those in pain right now, try this! It works FAST! Good Luck everyone.

Jesus Christ cures everything.

Dr Oz, you are not showing the reall cause for acid reflux. Educate these people isntead of all the false hopes

I feel like eating small portions of food should decrease heartburn

I drank water with 1/4 teaspoon baking soda and lime and I got headache 🤕 It’s suppose to be safe and to give you energy

I've smoked cigarettes 18 years and was a heavy liquor alcoholic. 3 years sober and now a month ago stopped cigarettes but now vaping to get nicotine and keep lowering it. Every time I vape or drink a carbonated drink I gagg. My Dr just says you have gerd and deal with it. Do you think that's what I'm dealing with.

My sister pukes when she gets it because she coughs a lot when it happens

I've had acid reflux for a year now it's a very painful burning I hate it but I take alka seltzer it's the only thing that works for me but I want it gone completely

I’ve been burping every 3-5 minutes for the past 3 days and been feeling like if I have a lump on my throat. I finally grew tired of it. I was never a burping type of person so it’s been weird.

Baking soda is any better than meds?! Doubtful long term

I recently discovered alginate, which is derived from seaweed, to prevent acid reflux. Its helped so much with my GERD. Alginate has long been used in Europe but not many options in the US. Alginate reacts with stomach acid to form a temporary physical barrier against acid reflux at the GE junction. I like this new alginate product called Nutritist Refluxter, which is all natural and preservative free. I take 2 capsules at night just before going to bed to prevent reflux while I sleep, which is when reflux and GERD hit me the hardest.

It makes me cough all the time I’m so unhappy

we need an update on her. if she is taking any of that...

I have bad acid reflex, it started about 5 months ago. At the beginning I was throwing up and felt like I couldn't breathe. I went to a GERD specialist and he gave me a list of thing to avoid (food wise and activity wise) and it went down. Yes I still get the feeling like i cant breathe but its not as bad. I know it sucks to do this, but if u cant solve your problem, go on a diet. Ive been eating healthy ever since this started happening to me. I practically eat the same things everyday but it seems to help. (I even lost weight from doing this.) The only time I get acid reflex now is when I eat something I haven't ate in awhile.

Good information sir

Has any one try it? Does it work?

I have ignored my acid reflux, and just the thought it is no big deal. Now I am dealing with barrett's esophagus. As a warning, please don't think is just a simple problem because it is not and. Imagine everything you love to eat such as fried food, fatty, sweet can now hurt you and make you miserable. Treat this asap and change your eating habits.

In this video there are lacking informations. The digestive system is on of the most complex systems in the body. If one has GERD, this may be caused from a variety of factors. The more common one is low stomach acid. If one burps frequently and has reflux this is mainly caused by low stomach acid. If the stomach acid is low (normally should be 1 - 3 pH), then the food eaten will stay more than necessary in the stomach and gets fermented. This will produce lot of gas in the stomach and cause burping attacks. And also because of the low acidity the sphincter will not get the proper signals to close and let the stomach content flow up to the esofagus, throat and even mouth. Note that burping may be caused for swallowed air while eating or drinking, but this doesn't occur as attack and is not a huge amount. So in case of low acidity one should not try to alkaline the stomach acid because it will worsen the disase and allow a lot of bacterias to pass through the gut and then the gut will suffer from bacteria overgrowth. And finally this will lead a lot of health issues in the body.

Thank you so much I'm 15 and this is why I can't fall to sleep

I was thinking of adding more to my ppi but i am scared of more side effects because nothing is without it. But The ginger helps coz i tried it now. and later my turmeric. I am not sure if I have gastritis or esopahigitis. I think I got this from too much sour foods and drinks. I have too much acid and it burnt my stomach. If I read the signs and symptoms I don't fit in any. I don't have bad breath or bleeding. I only have this non stop painful gas coming up my esophagus and upto my throat. It gets stock in it and swalloing is painful on throat and middle of the chest i think bcoz the gas is blocking it. Sometimes when I poop it also hurts on my left because there is gas going up my left. The bloating i and painful stomach gas i had it for a long time, but this esophagus burning is something new that happened a few days ago. I remember the other month I had this terrible stomach pain because of a very sour juice. I thought it was my period.

Alovera tea with cactuses with organic Manukau honey first thing morning, at night chamomile tea. Also concentrated alovera

i had acid reflex for years, I used to drink really cold water or buy supplements to help me deal with it. Until i did some research and took the 1/2 spoon baking soda with water, works like a charm in less than a minute. I couldn't believe it.

Baking soda and water!! Best thing ever!

I drank some strawberry lemonade that messed me up. I just drank some baking soda water and feel much better. I forget the simple stuff sometimes.

It damaged my voice box and now I’m really struggling when I’m speaking and lost confidence because of how I sound

Hi, Goodnight everybody!
