    I have tried most of these natural remedies, but the one that I found that really does work for me is ginger juice.  You can't buy it, you have to make it using a ginger root that you buy in any grocery store. All you need is your own juicer.  Here's how to make it:

    Ginger juice is inexpensive and there are no side-effects. I found it helped to alleviate my symptoms in just a few days.  I can eat pizza with my kids again.  I have told others about it and they all report success.

    I have acid reflux as well....when I get it I just chew some candied ginger, it really ,really helps. My acid reflux usually goes away quickly. Also, another remedy that me and my daughter use is drinking grapefruit juice! My doctor of internal medecine suggested this and it always works!

    There is so much information out there to help and support this disease, but everyone wants to get paid to help. I appreciate your natural suggestion. It is a Relief to get answers that I am not getting charged for. I highly reccomend the site Free Heart Burn Relief for additional and tremendously helpful information. Thanks again for being one of the good guys.

    If you get apple cider vinager that has the mother on the label, that is the one

    that is good for balancing acid and helping with it.

    I don't remember what the herblist at the health store said about it but I remember

    using it in the past and I know it worked.I just forgot that I still have some of it on hand and I will be using it in the future.

    I also have used Peppermint and ginger together in the loose tea form and steeped it before drinking it,

    It also worked and I keep forgeting to buy more as I have been down with allergies

     from pollen.

    I am going to try the other remadies that were mentioned and also I eat small amounts of dark chocolate that don't bother the acid but the regular milk chocolate does because I can't use anything with regular milk in it and I use a combination of soy milk and allmond milk in cereal.

    If you have an underactive Thyroid becareful with anything with soy in it as soy will

    effect it.

    That is why I use half of each and the White Silk soy taste great especially the Very Vanilla flavor and also in the allmond milk.

    I buy the Diamond Allmond brand.

    White Silk brand also makes great Soy Yougert in Four flavors.

    I have severe gerd, it comes into my throat and mouth. I've tried everything. Zantac medication actually made it worse. And then someone suggested probiotic. I've been taking it and I'm feeling a lot better. Less acid, its getting better and better by the day. I feel really happy.

    My daughter has acid reflux.  We use natural HCL with pepsin and significantly decreased her gluten intake.  She has been able to get some relief with those strategies.
