espíritu del lago Posted November 2, 2018 Report Share Posted November 2, 2018 A teaspoon of baking soda (a base substance) neutralizes stomach acid so that even if it comes up, you won't feel that burning sensation. Mix 1 teaspoon of baking soda with 8 ounces of water and drink all of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barcelonaman Posted November 2, 2018 Report Share Posted November 2, 2018 Would maybe have an endoscopy just to make sure its not serious and caused esphogus damage especially if you have had the problem for a while. Speaking from personal experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComputerGuy Posted November 2, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2018 Good lord, people. Ask about Tums and get served up an endoscopy. I might as well have asked where to get a late night pizza and been told how to make one myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MtnMama Posted November 4, 2018 Report Share Posted November 4, 2018 CG, while you asked the original question, it is a topic many other people are interested in. So sit back, and stop reading the thread. You got your answer. Barcelonaman had an excellent point for those of us on long term Prilosec or similar products. I use a low daily dose for hiatal hernia. It works and nothing else I have tried does. It also often causes kidney damage so I take magnesium and calcium and drink lots of water and hope.

barcelonaman Posted November 4, 2018 Report Share Posted November 4, 2018 I only suggested it as i know have stage 4 cancer .wether it was constant use of ppi i dont know for certain,but anyone with persistent gerd or even acid should seek medical advice as to wether an endoscopy is recommended. If my advice can prevent other people going through what i have this year i will be happy. If the op got his original facts correct and is prepared to listen he might learn a thing or two.seems he is rude in most threads. I wont be bothering in the future and i know others have commented the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just assumed I didn't know what I was talking about and that I got my research all wrong. Now, that is what I call rude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
