Acid reflux: Anyone out there?

Anyone out there? I have this bad. But also have been throwing up and diarrhea. Am trying to find out what causes the second situation. Thanks. T in Pinehurst NV

Many things can trigger acid reflux it’s good to try and find the source. It could be slow digestion (I have gastroparesis), certain foods or drinks, medications, etc. I was on aciphex for decades and encountered challenges from extended use. I’ve been working with natural supplements and a specialist to try and help improve my gut and colon health. I take whole leaf aloe vera juice sometimes multiple times per day. Try eating smaller more frequent meals and keep a food diary to identify triggers for elimination. Walk after eating and don’t lay down right afterwards. I also slept elevated in a recliner for years and eventually got a sleep number adjustable bed which has been amazing but very expensive. There are many other brands and options available now that are cheaper but a wedge can work as well anything to help keep the upper half of your body elevated. Good luck!

I found out I had a stricture inside between my esophagus and stomach. I had it removed and had a lot of relief
