We weaned off our acid reflux meds very slowly. The possible long term side effect of taking acid reflux meds concerned us. I brought empty capsules and made our own capsules as we slowly weaned off. Now, i juice 16 ounces of celery every morning for myself and husband. . We drink it before our coffee and wait about 30 minutes. And, we drink a teaspoon of Braggs apple cider vinegar (the mother) each morning before breakfast. I hope this is helpful.

Does drinking celery juice plus Braggs ACV totally rid your stomach of acids

@joan1234

From my own personal experience the apple cider makes it worse. However, each person reacts differently. I have never tried the celery juice. Anyone tried the celery juice?

What does your Doctor say about this protocol?

Dear @destinnana , This is the first I am hearing about celery juice. I will look into this as I am on the same meds everyone else is. I hate taking medicine for every little thing because I know that good, healthy food and the proper supplements can do wonders for the body. I always tell my PCP about whatever I want to add to my regimen. He is totally open to natural solutions. Thank you for sharing this part of your story. Who knows? Maybe I will be a celery juice convert! Hugs,

I have tried celery juice. It’s very soothing.

You need stomach acid to help breakdown food before it eners intestines for absorption. The problem with antacids is it slows acid production thus making digestion difficult so you eat more antacid, becomes vicious cycle of chasing your tail!

@destinnana I never heard of celery juice either for acid reflux.
I have noticed Plan Ice cold water first thing in the morning is helping before coffee. I also found a Low Acid Coffee called Manatee Gourmet Coffee. Proceeds from the coffee help to save the manatee too. And I'm a coffee guru who typically drank in my day, 3 pots a day. It's pretty good with lower acid.
Another drink that seems to help my acid reflux is Natural Alkaline Water. I was drinking it all the time. I think the Alkaline help neutralize the acid in my stomach.

i have also tried the unsweetened apple cider with vinegar and it still bothers my throat and that is after my fundoplication, 3 dilations. my fundoplication is 1.5 years old. i still experience heartburn symptoms, with no help from antacids. I am getting an endoscopy today from my gastroenterologist today july12, 2018. I hope to know more about what is going on and why does drinking water make it seem worse.

Y celery juice???

Coffee is very excessive and it's not really good for GERD are you you are blessed that you're making any progress by taking other things and I encourage you to keep taking other things and I encourage you to use the at least use the low acid coffee with alkaline water maybe bananas I've heard Daddy and bananas that are there alkaline and they help get rid of the acid naturally also I guess there's other things that I need I have Gerd I still take Omeprazole I take a half of what my doctor had me on he said he was concerned about me taking it at my age I'm 73 I was taking omeprazole and my doctor had me cut it in half I still take 40 mg in the morning and I'm looking to quit call me it's the hardest thing in the world to do it's harder than I used to be an alcoholic I used to smoke two or three packs of cigarettes a day and the Lord Jesus Christ help me to quit on on those habits I'm still struggling with the coffee because it seems to have an effect on helping my degenerative disc my sciatica and my neuropathy it seems to help a little bit but I think in the long run it may be harming the nerves so I'm praying and seeking help on that God bless you and Trust in the great physician he's able to do anything he rose from the dead he made us he knows our bodies and he can do anything for us and he will use anything to get our attention turn to him and Trust to him as our God and savior God bless you and praying for you
