A friend of mine had acid reflux, and she said that she took vinegar pills, and it went away.   Hope you feel better soon. Good Luck

May sound strange.  It is possible that you have acid reflux.  Often (especially in women), the pain from any disorder will be referred to a different place in your body--such as your upper back.  Laying down almost always makes discomfort from reflux worse.  Try to notice if the pain is worse at a certain time of day, or after you eat.  \n\nIf that's not it, then I have no clue.  Sorry!  Good luck to you.

See a doctor before doing anything. Here is one idea:\n\n\nTreating acid reflux first involves medication.  Over the counter medications such as: antacids, Zantac, and Pepcid can ease the heartburn symptoms and provide temporary relief.  Prescription medications are usually the best option because they can also help your esophagus heal.  These are called Proton Pump Inhibitors (PIP).  They work to stop some of the digestive acid from being produced to stop acid reflux and give your esophagus a chance to heal.  Some of these medications are:  Prevacid, Nexium, and Prilosec.

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

You might try drinking a half-teaspoon of baking soda in a half-glass of water. That should neutralize some of the acid. But if you truly have acid reflux, you should take something like Zantac (no prescription) to help control the amount of acid in your stomach. Also prevent the reflux by eating smaller meals, by not wearing tight belts, but not lying down after a large meal, etc. \n\nIf the condition persists, you should have it checked out. Several other diseases (ulcers, stomach cancer, etc) can have similar symptoms. Also, if the reflux continues, the acid could eat a hole in your esophagus.

I began using digestive enzymes 30 min's before a meal.(you can get these at a health food store).  This should not be done as a continuing solution however.  Your stomach needs to produce more acid actually.  I take a tablespoon of vinegar in a half glass of water if I already have the heartburn and it stops very quickly because now your stomach will produce more acid to digest the food!

Try just eating one kind of food a day and then if you have gas the next day you can start to find out what foods cause it. Good Luck

No. Pepto is supposed to help those types of problems. It can feel like heartburn if you ingest it too quickly but take air with it that then gets trapped.

Well you can't do anything to treat the hiatal hernia on your own. Since you already know to go to the doctor (by the way how do you know you have a hiatal hernia?), you are probably interested in decreasing some of the symptoms related to reflux. \n\nLosing weight (if overweight but you can't do that in a weekend obviously), avoiding alcohol, chocolate, citrus juice, and tomato-based products and avoiding large meals in general. Wait 3 hours after a meal before lying down and elevate the head of the bed 8 inches when you do.\n\nCan't give you info for pharmacologic therapy (not a good idea online). But if you are really hurting, I suggest calling your physician.

First, don't panic.  Second, yes, by all means see your doctor.  These symptoms could be various things, the least of which could be gastric reflux or hiatal hernia.  It could also be something more serious.  \n\nCall your doctor's office and ask to speak directly to the physician, physician's assistant or a nurse.  Explain your symptoms in as much detail as you can.  They will get you in immediately if they feel it is urgent.  \n\nGood luck!

If you can right after you eat  try walking around for an hour or so non-stop, get to a park if you can, try it for 3 days straight.  If it helps, tell your doctor it may be a form of acid reflux.

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.

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!

I would recommend a colon cleanse. You have 'acid reflux' and other problems because your colon is not working at it's optimum with all the toxins and old fecal matter. A good cleanse will cure you of those problems and you won't have to take anything. Drugs like Prilosec, etc. only relieve the symptoms and are therefore worthless.

First what are you going thourgh at this time? are you under a lot of stress and tension that alone can put your stomach in a tailspin.\n\nSecond what are you eating a lot of fat salt dairy if eaten alot can cause heartburn, direrrah, and just makes you feel sick.\n\nThird have you gone to a dr and get some feeback on why your stomach is so sick. Try to relax and not get so upset if that is the case, worry causes harm and it is not good.\nA nice cup of hot tea, soft music, a good nap. comforting scrpiture Psalm 23 for example, deep breathing all these things can help your stomach not "be in knots" I know from past experince and please feel better.
