acid reflux
lynard7007 asked:


I was rear-ended in March of this year. A few days later, my chiropractor advised I had some soft tissue damage. Two months later, I woke up and stretched and thought I had a stiff neck but the chiropractor advised I now have grade 2 whiplash. My biggest problem is it’s worse in the morning but I have to sleep on two pillows as I also have acid reflux, which I am on medication for. Any suggestions for me?

I have like a heart burn type deal like everyday, and my stomach is always a little unsettled. I assume that it’s acid reflux, since I have been diagnosed with it before. However, I don’t have insurance right now and won’t for a little while. So, any home remedies besides taking tums?

If acid reflux may be caused by too little stomach acid, how come acid suppressors like Nexium work?

It’s been said that Apple Cider Vinegar can help with acid reflux because the stomach is actually producing too little acid. If this is the case, how come Nexium and other similar acid suppressants work? Wouldn’t they make the situation worse?

Also, can lemon juice be used in place of ACV? I cannot tolerate the stuff! Any idea?

I am currently taking an acid reflux medication for the next 6 weeks. However, I am curious if there are any beneficial foods that will also help? My throat is closing up a lot lately, and although I have eliminated my caffeine intake, it is still bothering me.
