Acid Reflux?
- Thread starter mundus
- Start date
You basically have to consider cutting out or at least down on everything great in life- coffee, booze, dairy, spicy food etc etc. Or at least temporarily until it's gone, then you can slowly add stuff back in to see how you react. Cut back on portion size, especially at dinner, because laying flat 2-3 hours after big meal is a big one.That said- once you get it under control you will have better awareness about what triggers it. Now when I have reflux it is more of a signal that I overdid it in the previous 24-48 hours and need to reign it back in.
Cut out all the usual triggers. Watch out for the unusual ones. For me, nightshades was a sneaky culprit.
Enjoy them all infrequently.
FWIW when I eat more raw food (salads, apples, etc) my body seems better able to handle the triggers.
that was the first diagnosis. had terrible heartburn in general for years after that and then it all just stopped.
give apple cider vinegar a try, sounds counter productive but that stuff works.
Shor Pier......Long walk.
This ^^^^^^^. Wish I had stumbled into that tip 15 years sooner.
After decades of fighting it I finally figured out the worst offender….Yeah, it sucks

…sugar. It has been the root of all it.
I stopped eating sugar about 6 months ago.
I'm not looking scouring every label, but I'm not eating sweets, sweet sauces, etc.
I can't believe how much less plaque is forming on my teeth.
It's crazy.
Get checked for H. pylori.
My reflux went away after I got treated.
Don't go heavy on the carbs before surfing.
Just yesterday you cried about shots being taken outside of the politics forum, here you are doing it, What is it like being a complete hypocrite? Thanks for the suggestion otherwise.
For one thing, you're laying flat.
Some of my friends never would get reflux while surfing.
I would imagine anatomy plays a role, and some people have weaker esophageal sphincters. I have to give myself a few hours after breakfast and longer after lunch or I'm belching up stomach contents.
It's 4 or 5 pills taken 4 times a day for multiple weeks. It sucks.
But IMO it's important to get treated.
I waited too long, and ended up with residual issues.
Did you to antibiotic/fungal pills or the natural route (cinnamon oil, mint oil etc )
