Acid Reflux

Question: Acid reflux that won't go away?

(Posted by: Carla S on 2008-11-29 15:11:21)

I've had heartburn/ acid reflux since last night. I took Zantac before I went to bed, and still woke up with heartburn/ acid ref. Today, I have already taken Prevacid, Maalox, and another Zantac, and it still won't go away!! My Doctor prescribed me Losek (Sp?), and it worked for a while, then only kind of worked, now I'm on Prevacid. This sucks! What else can I try to get rid of it? I've still got some Losek left, and I haven't tried Tums or Milk of Mag. yet. It feels like I am going to throw up stomach acid. Help!!! My Doctor has already sent me for a fluroscopy and it came back saying that my duodenum (sp?) is irratable. I have an ultrasound booked for the end of next month to check my gallbladder. I just need relief in the mean time! But thanks for the suggestion!

Stir 1/ 2 tsp. of baking soda into a glass of water and drink it. This is a really tried and true remedy. If it gets worse see a doctor.

You might have a hiatus hernia. Get your doctor to do an upper GI series on you. In the meantime, take Prilosec and sleep with two or three pillows.

Try Manuka 10+ Honey a tea spoon before going to bed for a week, and see if it benefits you in anyway and since its natural it wont do u any harm.
