Reflux due to too little acid?????

Whatever.

All I can say is until you have suddenly jerked awake in the night, choking on a big shot of hydrochloric acid that has made its way up your esophagus and down your windpipe and into your lungs while you were asleep, then you have no clue how fast I will kill you if you try to take away my PPIs.

I’ll take the risk of a case of the runs in order to prevent more acid destruction to what is left of my lungs, thank you very much.

Thankfully, most people can’t even imagine how frightening this can be. Mrs. panax suffers from the same thing as you. It is a terrible affliction.

Good luck...panax

So that’s what that was. I’ve done that too. Been on Zantac for about 15 years.

been there done that... first they came for my pain medication, then they came for my anti-histimines, now they are coming for my stomach acid drugs.... what will be outlawed next?

One thing that works for mild acid reflux....a spoonful of oats. They think it’s something about the oat fiber causes the esophagal valve to close.

I had the same problem for years. I was on medication for it and following a supposedly "heart healthy" diet. I began to have many complications.

I was cured of the problem within 24hrs of going on a very low carb (VLC) diet. No more medication. When I go off the VLC diet my severe reflux comes back. When I go on it it goes away within a day. Something to consider. It does not seem to be a subject well covered on the VLC forums. Regards.

“Many times” is not an inclusive statement. You obviously have a problem that lies outside of the many.
