Q: I have acid reflux and i cannot take any foods and i have a terrible taste in my mouth. what can I do about it so I can taste my food again
The horrible taste is a common symptom of reflux. The treatment though depends heavily on what the cause of the reflux is. For example, if you are just getting over the stomach flu then most doctors recommend using oral pro-biotics.
On the other hand, occasional reflux is generally treated with preventive action and anti-acids.
More frequent and/or severe reflux that doesn't respond to the preventive things are generally treated with H2 blockers or Proton Pump Inhibitors.
The most important thing though is that self-medicating can be dangerous and it's important to see your doctor to get a thorough exam and diagnosis.
