Question:
Are there any home remedies for acid reflux?

I HAVE HAD ACID REFLUX IN THE PAST AND NOW IT SEEMS TO BE HARRASING ME AND TRYING TO CALL ME CHEST A WOSE. WHAT ARE SOME HOME CURES THAT COULD KEEP THESE TERRIBLE ATTACKS FROM OCCURING OR ANYTHING THAT MAY TAKE AWAY THE BURNING SENSATION IN THERE?

Answer: Acid reflux sucks. I would know, as I have it all the time too!

Home remedies include drinking cold milk and eating plain, untoasted bread. The milk can help neutralize your stomach acid somewhat and I've heard that the bread can sop up some of the excess acid. These are temporary fixes though.

GERD, or gastroesophageal reflux disease irritates and inflames the lining of your esophagus, so that these bouts of heartburn hurt even worse. Sucks, I know!

Other stuff that helps, but isn't a home remedy:Antacids like Tums, Rolaids and MaaloxMeds like Pepcid, Prilosec and Zantac

If this is bothering you a lot, you should see a doctor and let him/her decide how you should treat your frequent heartburn.

Oh yeah, two other home remedies that are said to help:Elevate the head of your bed. This keeps acid from washing back up into your esophagus while you sleep.Lose weight. Some folks (myself included) get heartburn because they could stand to lose a few!
