Eliminate Acid Reflux

Recognizing the Problem 

Burning pain rising up the esophagus, lasting for hours, that is acid reflux. It has effected so many of the people I love. I am so glad I came upon a fast, easy remedy years ago. I just hate to see people in pain. This remedy is so simple, no one wants to believe it could work. But, nothing like pain relief to make a convert!

Years ago my beloved teenaged step-daughter was struck with a bout of acid reflux. (It seems to run in families.) I made her one of my famous "cocktails". "Just swallow one mouthful", I said, and watched her face as her eyes widened and the look of disbelief changed to amazement. One swallow and the pain was gone! The fire-breathing dragon in her chest had been totally quenched. I don’t think she ever doubted me again. In over thirty years of using this remedy, I have never seen it fail. 

An Alternative 

Baking Soda is a fast simple way to neutralize excess acid. Obviously, without acid your body would not be able to convert food to nutrients. However, if acid reflux is ruining your evening, give Baking Soda a chance.  

Using Baking Soda 

Use exactly one half teaspoon of Baking Soda in a glass of water. (As little as four ounces of water is enough.) You may add ice to make it taste better.

This is the important part. Stir briskly until the water is clear! Do not drink if the water is still cloudy, because the Baking Soda is not completely dissolved.

Drink. It will work immediately. 

Considerations 

Acid reflux isn’t only for adults, it can effect children and teens. You may be concerned about reports that the new acid reflux drugs can be addictive or that use of prescription acid reflux remedies may be linked to an increase in cancer. Especially with children, Baking Soda is a good place to start. It is easy to make, and costs almost nothing to try. 

Experiment with dietary changes as well. I have observed that baked potatoes and white flour can be triggers. Reducing these two diet items has almost eliminated the need to make Baking Soda "cocktails" at my house. However, these are not the triggers that conventional medicine identifies. See if you can correlate your acid reflux with certain foods. The best option is prevention, but when that fails, Baking Soda "cocktails" can be your back-up.  

The biggest concern here is that you need to know that what you are seeing is acid reflux, and not a heart attack. Know the symptoms of heart attack. This is a great example of where it is important to get checked out by a doctor. 

As a fellow acid reflux sufferer, you can believe me when I say I know firsthand the pain associated with this condition.

  • I know the feeling of food coming back up into your mouth after you eat

  • I know the burning pain in your chest and esophagus that can keep you lying awake at night

  • I know the frustration and despair that accompany acid reflux’s painful symptoms

This guide is filled with the information and tips you need to know to become an expert on acid reflux and to treat it effectively.
