Natural Cures For Acid Reflux

Q.I am having so many problems with finding natural cures for acid reflux I have tested positive for methamphetamine which I am not taking. Retest 10 weeks later still show a positive reading. I am on other medication but none are known to produce this problem. Can you help?

A.many people take vitamin supplements and natural herbal remedies without realising these are essentially medications - so they don’t mention them to their health professional. Ma Huang, for example, is a natural source of ephedrine. That said, there are many reasons for a false positive result to show up, though the marketers of tests - particularly those “try-it-at-home?tests - have every reason not to draw your attention to them. I’ve put what seem to me to be the more credible sources first. “Substances or Conditions which can cause false positives Ephedrine, pseudoephedrine, propylephedrine, phenylephrine, or desoxyephedrine (Nyquil, Contact, Sudafed, Allerest, Tavist-D, Dimetapp, etc) Phenegan-D, Robitussin Cold and Flu, Vicks Nyquil Over-the-counter diet aids with phenylpropanolamine (Dexatrim, Accutrim) Over-the-counter nasal sprays (Vicks inhaler, Afrin) Asthma medications (Marax, Bronkaid tablets, Primatine Tablets)
