Digestive Enzymes - acid reflux is most often the case of not enough acid in the stomach leading to poor food digestion.  As the food sits their, fermentation occurs increasing the gas in your stomach.  When the gas releases, the acid in the stomach goes up into the esophagus with the gas - and you get the reflux and burn.  Try taking some multipurpose digestive enzymes with your meal (about 10 min prior to eating) and you should get some good results.  Find the plant based ones - not the animal based. The animal based enzymes don't work in as wide of a pH range.

I always tell people that i am an alternative medicinal therapist. I deal a lot with this problem, so let's see if we can't sort you out.\nIs the pain a burning sensation? If so you are making to much acid, do you have heartburn? again it's over acidity?\nDO NOT take anymore antacids they will make the problem worse and they can also start the problem off in the first place.\nDoes it only start when you eat fried or spicy foods, if so you may have an ulcer.\n\nDo you have a lot of gas, is your stomach tender to the touch?\nYou could have a peptic ulcer or gastritis.\nTreatment.Herbal teas: German chamomile-thistle-betony-\nTablets: ginseng-goldenseal-\nCider vinegar=2 teaspoons in glass of water 2 to 3 times daily.\nIf my treatment fails go to your GP he will send you to the hospital for tests.Contact me if you need any more advice e-mail alternative@medicine123.wanadoo.co.uk\n\nGloria J Jones (BSYA-SEN)

It is best for your boyfriend to see a physician, if you are students, the student health center will provide you with healthcare for an affordable price and all students are required to have health insurance. For symptoms of reflux, there are OTC medications you can use such as famotidine or others which are stronger such as prilosec. But both of you should really see a physician. Your symptoms will not stop immediately - you will need to take medicines for a good 6-12months before you can consider stopping them.

Peppermint tea, ginger tea, ginger ale...the old stand-by, saltines and Sprite(although I don't recommend it...too much acid in the Sprite, but the saltines are ok), any MILD clear liquids (nothing acidic and only anything you can see through, LITERALLY).  There is also something called the BRAT diet-- B (bananas)...R (rice)...A (applesauce)...T(toast).  These are all acceptable for nausea or diarrhea, as long as it is tolerated.  For heartburn or acid reflux Pepcid or Prilosec as recommended by the label as long as it isn't contraindicated with any other prescription or over-the-countrer medications you are already taking.

You are stressing girl! I can tell by your other questions! You are just like me lol, unfortunatley I worried so much I developed acid reflux and had to take medication for an ulcer. Your body is trying to tell you something-listen to it! Don't drink milk or eat late at night to help it out, but honestly I think it is directly caused by the stress in your life.

Prilosec OTC...it's costly, but worth it. My fiance had horrible, horrible hearburn and acid reflux.  We tried EVERTYTHING and finally tried this.  He has no problems,and if he doesnt take it for a few days, his symptoms are back.  Give it a shot!!

First, you have to visit your doctor to be more sure how you are going to resolve this problem. Is very important  to take a balance diet and eat healthy food (vegetables, grill meat, fruits etc)Anyways you can try galviscon, or prilosec. Now if you still having syntoms take azantac (their have diferent values) and if its worst take Nexium the purple pill. Please!!!!!! Eat at your hours, that is too necesary. Dont' give to your stomach long lapses of time without  meals. Take care...I don't want more people like me (with acid refluxs) that is really sad...And again take care because your life is very important!

Calcium (Ca+), which is in Tums antacid tablets. I also tried calcium supplemets, and they worked quite well too. I usually feel acid reflux when I overeat at night, or have citrus fruits or fried foods at night. So simply avoiding those situations for a few days will work miracles, and you don't have to strain your body with excessive medications.

My dad used to take Gaviscon for acid reflux, it was the only one with little or no side effects and most hospitals in the uk will use this first. Dont know about the other things, tums certainly wont help much , cant speak for rolaids.

watch what you eat. Eat things that don't contain acid. Oranges Tomatos lemon Pineapple Mangos Kiwi juices coffee strong tea any red sauces and maybe you can take Pepcid complete

Different drugs work differently on differnet people.\nPrilosec may work for you but not for someone else.\nAre you a Prilosec drug rep or something?\n\nI find a better cure is using apple cider vinegar cut with some water.  It takes care of heartburn and acid reflux almost immediately.
