Natural Ways To Cure Acid Reflux

Q.My husband has had a sour stomach for about 2 weeks off and on. He has a lot of stomach problems (acid reflux and ulcers) and has had a sour stomach before. But after treatment it usually goes away. He has vomiting, diarrhea and belching. It's the most god awful smell. Like rotton eggs or something. We don't currently have insurance so it's not feasible to go to the Dr. unless we go to the ER. and that will cost a fortune. He is also lactose intalerant and thinks, that might be what is causing it. He has never had this bad of a reaction to dairy before. Does he show the symptoms of acid reflux.? If so, can you find natural ways to cure acid reflux for him please?

A.I would definitely cut out dairy first and see if that helps. I've known people whose lactose intolerance suddenly got much worse as adults, so it could definitely be that. If that doesn't do it, start with an acid reducer pill like Pepcid. I would assume that he's already tried that, though, if he's had treatment for ulcers and acid reflux before. If the pills aren't working, try mixing a teaspoon of baking soda with about 4 ounces of water and drinking it. Sometimes that helps me when the pills don't (I have an ulcer and acid reflux also). There is no subsitute for a dr.. he really needs to get into see one. Check your local county health care they go on sliding scale and can take payments as well (aka free health clinic).. Does he have any pain? If he is lactose intolerant then he needs to stay away from milk products! Get lactaid, they have it in milk form and it tastes the same..
