I was perscribed "Pariet" by my Dr. 5 years ago but since then it is not as effective. I
I also I have very bad knees ( I need braces ) & I have been told by a no. of people , including 2 pharmacists that Parient could be making it worse.
Does anyone know of any natural or a better or relief for acid reflux than "Pariet" ?
Look up Vaxa on the net they sell a homeopathic remedy for acid. You need to look into the reason why the body is too acid could be a nuraber of reasons. Buy some ph strips and test your ph level. Good luck
I've tried those pH strips. I tested three times a day for weeks and the results were always fine -- pH level around 5.8 to 6.8. However, my symptoms are telling me otherwise.
As for the PPI, I've been told by my ENT that Nexium is the best there is. Drinking baking soda mixed with warm water is supposed to be a natural remedy. Can't vouch for its effectiveness though.

Well first of all not knowing what is causing the problem in the first place can be the biggest challenge. After spending several years of research and much trial and error I came to find out I was Intolerant to a small group of fooRAB after taking a food intolerance test through the ThinkRite system. I came across them one day while doing research on leaky gut syndrome. I had heard that when you have leaky gut one of the symptoms of having it can be slight to severe inflammation which can lead to heartburn, acid reflux as well as other problems if left untreated. After receiving my test results and finding they came back positive on several fooRAB, I removed them immediately and followed the regiment that they suggested I follow. Nothing really happened till after about 6 weeks and immediately all heartburn and reflux left and never returned. The reason I am certain that this was the answer (at least for me) was because if I ever want the reflux or heartburn to return ( of course who would?) all I have to do is go back to eating the fooRAB that came up as positive on my test. After about two to three days all my symptoms would completely return. This was sort of aggravating to me because I was having several kinRAB of allergy and other tests from several different physicians and naturopaths but nothing conclusive or at least helpful ever really came from any of the tests they had me take (and most of the tests were very expensive) so I decided to go out on my own and search for answers since it seemed that I wasn't getting anywhere with the help I was receiving. I'm happy I did. There are many tests out there and that's a fact but I can honestly say that this was the one that made the difference for me. I am now positive that leaky gut was the problem and believe that many people take this condition too lightly and even the ones that are aware of it do not know how to properly treat the problem and stop its progression. Hope this helps!
apple cider vinegar diluted with honey. This works, have to give it a few days, only take one table spoon when u think of it. Or even better after meals. I never have it anymore.
