Home Treatment For Heartburn

Q.Acid reflux and proton pump inhibitors: is there a natural remedy I could get for acid reflux? I don't have insurence to pay for the Proton Pum Inhibitor (Protonix) I need. I have bad pain in my esophagus at night without it. Yes I know all about how I could get cancer in my esophagus. I just wondered if there was a treatment I could get a the health supplement store for acid reflux. so can anyone in the group help me please?

A.start takin digestive grape bitters or just digestive bitters...my grandfather never has that problem...he says the older we get the acid in our stomach doesn't breakdown & absorb food the way it did when younger...we need the acid in our stomach.Think about it why take an anti acid?That defeats the purpose.This may help prevent future pain.But as for now I can't be of any help. btw,any good health store that sells alot of alternative medicine & herbs can usually help you with current problem...you can also get the digestive bitters there...and they can inform you of how to prevent your problem If you truly cannot afford Protonix then 1. Talk to your MD about Zantac or Pepcid 2. Many drug companies have programs to provide free meds to poor people ask your MD 3. Put the legs at the head of your bed up on 6" blocks. This will raise the head of your bed so that gravity minimizes movement of acid into your esophagus. 4. Avoid caffeine,alcohol, acidic foods 5. If appropriate use Generic Mylanta or Riopan at bedtime, ask your MD
