Experience with curcumin as PPI alternative?

Posted by ctrout @ctrout, Mar 17 8:27pm

Hi, all. I am 67 and have recently been diagnosed with Achalasia, metaplasic Barrett's Esophagus, and likely silent GERD. I am trying to avoid long-term use of PPIs and am wondering if others have gotten guidance on use of curcumin or other alternatives. Re curcumin, I'm especially looking g for guidance on dosage, timing of doses, etc. BTW, I have already made diet changes, lost 30 pounds, am using a mattress wedge at night, and have switched to sleeping on my left side. Thanks!

There are slippery elm capsules, but I never ended up having to go that route because we found a resolution for my dad before we tried it.

That’s interesting about the aloe vera juice. My dietician suggested it to me, but for constipation.

I can’t help to reply because I noticed your last name. That is my last name.
I hope the aloe vera juice is working for you
