Bet you have good teeth though from all that saliva. Maybe see a gastro doctor.

It just started about a month ago. My gastro doc increased PPI from 40 to 80 and famotidine @ night. I'm looking for a natural treatment.

Are you taking a probiotic or a prebiotic to aid your stomach health? Might give them a try. Try a Mediterranean diet.
I am with ya on “a natural solution or remedy”who wants more meds?

Thank you so much. How much do you take of each? I'm interested.

Has anyone found that taking omeprazole or pantopozole and antacids make the GERD worse? It has been my experience and my doctors swear that is not the cause. I watch, for the most part what I eat. They want me on a FODMAP diet, but it appears to contradict a low acid diet. Meat seems to aggravate my symptoms, but FODMAP says no beans or soy, for example.

Anyone else have this experience?

Food map does not work for me all that well. I just stay away from acidic food, coffee, chocolate, high fat foods, sweets. Stick to low fat everything. I take 50 mg pepcid at nighttime. Only thing that seems to be helping my GERD attacks. Good luck

PPIs sometimes take a month to start working. Take it 1st thing in the morning on an empty stomach. Wait 30 minutes then eat something even if it's an almond. Some people's GERD really flares up after dinner so they take it 1 hor before dinner. Drink as much Alkaline water as possible. I get mine from Costco. Avoid trigger foods as much as possible.

Funny you mention enzymes. I tried them and whoa! my stomach rebelled. I do not eat meat regularly, therefore that plan will not work. I eat it if someone else is serving it and on occasion when there’s nothing left in my house to eat before grocery shopping.

Before anyone asks: My protein comes from pea protein, occasionally soy, garbanzo beans, nuts/seeds and some vegetables have protein.

I have been working at stomach issues since I was born (66 yrs). I was a colicky baby, so I’m equating that with what’s happening now.

About 8 years ago a chiropractor helped me rebuild the flora in my stomach and literally saved my life. I went on a raw vegan diet for nine months and it destroyed the good bacteria in my gut. I didn’t know that you had to take certain supplements to avoid that. So, the chiropractor is retired now and I don’t have a similar resource.

I’ve been searching for a true functional health doc ever since.

I was on Nexium for years then switched to Omeprazole before breakfast and recently was put on Famotidine 40 mg before Diner but the reflux got worse so the doctor put me on Pantoprazole . I’ve had several scopes done and the last time was by a heartburn specialist and found out the sphincter going into my stomachs not closing so it’s allowing the reflux to come back up
