My Mission? Find some natural remedies so that I could help next time someone has this crap.
So off I went on the Internet and got the following treatments that anyone can use if they have a similar issue.
Apple Cider Vinegar
Fight fire with fire. Take 2 teaspoons of apple cider vinegar in a 6-ounce glass of water to stop acid reflux.
Baking Soda
Neutralize the acid with baking soda. Mix ½ teaspoon of baking soda in a glass of water and drink twice a day until acid reflux has dissipated.
Almonds
Chew on natural almonds before or after meal to reduce the likely hood of acid reflux.
Apples
Apples contain the same healthy enzymes as apple cider vinegar. Just snacking on an apple can help remedy the pain of acid reflux.
Aloe Vera
Drink 4 ounces of Aloe Vera juice each morning to prevent acid reflux. To stop heartburn once it has started, drink 8 ounces of Aloe Vera juice.
Royal Jelly
Eat 1 teaspoon of fresh or frozen royal jelly to stop the burning sensation of acid reflux within minutes.
Probiotics
Take a daily Probiotics supplement to prevent heartburn
German Chamomile
The flowers of this natural cure are known to calm the digestive system, as well as reduce inflammation within the digestive tract. Infusions are the best way to use German chamomile as a method of treatment.Fennel
Fennel seeds can be quite effective in treating the pains associated with cramping. The seeds make effective infusions and tinctures. When adding American cranesbill, acidity in the stomach is reduced. High doses of this natural cure should be avoided during pregnancy.Lemon Balm
The leaves of lemon balm provide relaxing and sedating results when taken as an infusion or tincture. To create an anti-inflammatory, mix lemon balm with chamomile or meadowsweet.Peppermint
The aerial parts of peppermint can be used to stimulate the flow of bile, as well as settle a nervous stomach. To create an infusion, you may add 15 grams of dried herb to two cups of water. Breastfeeding mothers should know that this kind of treatment might cause their milk production and flow to slow down .Meadowsweet Tea
With a cooling and soothing effect, meadowsweet tea can ease inflammation and assist in the reduction of acid in the stomach. Tea using 25 grams of meadowsweet and 500 ml of water will help with heartburn and other symptoms of GERD .To avoid GERD altogether they recommend the following:
Making changes to lifestyle habits and behaviors is a good way to prevent heartburn from becoming a constant problem. Controlling your weight is a great approach towards easing the onset of heartburn, as being overweight is a strong risk factor associated with GERD. To lessen the pressure on the lower esophageal sphincter, eating smaller meals is suggested.
After a full meal, loosening your belt or pants will help relieve some of the pressure placed on the abdomen and lower esophageal sphincter. After eating, you should refrain from stooping or bending that may come from activities, such as pulling weeds out of the yard. Lying down directly after a meal is known to increase the chances of suffering from heartburn � many people find waiting at least three to four hours before going to bed helps.
Smoking is known to increase stomach acid, which means kicking the habit helps reduce the risk of acid reflux (among other beneficial health results). Others fair well when they eliminate triggers known to cause heartburn, such as reducing their intake of fatty or fried foods, chocolate, alcohol, peppermint, garlic, and onions.
Now you are fully armed against GERD. I know you're happy to know that.
Be very well and more soon....
