Ultimately, this is how I relieved my Gerd without taking drug treatments

Gerd is a condition that I started fighting against when I was a little older. When I enjoyed even a single day without finding that perpetual stinging sensation in my upper body and severe swelling upon waking up in the morning, I thought of myself as very lucky. At times, I literally felt so bad that my throat area burned for 1 hour or more, as a result of gastric acid passing through the entire esophagus. Generally, I would feel so bad that it would make me vomit.

I asked my GP what I could do and he recommended taking PPIs (proton pump inhibitors). With that said, I followed his advice and started taking Prilosec. In the early stages it seemed to really treat my discomfort. Finally, I began to assume that all my reflux complications had been resolved. Oh boy, was I wrong. After several weeks, I started to feel very bad. My first symptoms of nausea started to appear frequently, in addition to the frequent migraines. I found that I was more fatigued during the day than I normally am.

Shortly after discovering through ongoing research that PPIs were indeed causing my abrupt migraines and prolonged signs of illness, I informed my healthcare provider that I really did not want to continue taking medication treatment. Shortly after I asked him if there were other remedies available, he simply suggested that he consider another type of medicine. I really didn’t want to keep using medication anymore, so once again I did my homework and found some recommendations that allowed me to help cure my signs and symptoms.

These are examples of things I tried every time I felt signs of heartburn. It’s funny how the more obvious things that most people don’t think about much can definitely help make a big difference. In some cases, the simplest of all alternatives can generate the most effective results. Let’s take a direct look at some of the things I tried to help control my signs of illness. Although I realize that each person is different and that various things work for different people, these ideas are often very easy to implement in your daily schedule. I’m sure the little tips I reveal in this content can also help most men and women dealing with acid reflux.

– Chew frozen treats and nonfat yogurt

– Stay away from carbonated drinks and spicy food products.

– Refusing to eat before going to sleep.

– Eat smaller portions, while making sure to distribute my food intake throughout the day.

– Stay hydrated during the day.

– Eliminating almost all acidic and fatty foods

– Eat ripe apples and bananas.

– Exercise 3-4 nights a week

– Reduce my salt intake

– Do yoga and meditate to relieve anxiety and stress, which also cause acid reflux.

As you have seen, I basically broke down all the vital information in great detail. I needed a determined strategy if I was likely to have a real chance of curing my signs and symptoms. Let me tell you that although my ailments really did improve, I still had them from time to time. At least I knew they were at a level where I was capable of handling them.

Sometimes I would have no problem. That in itself was a great achievement if you ask me. Although I am aware that I will likely have acid reflux disease for my entire life, at least now I have discovered easy methods to make sure it remains manageable, without the need for high-risk prescription drugs.
