For the past few months, I've had terrible heart burn and just this last few weeks, once in a while, if I eat something, it will burn going down. I'm sure its acid reflux, after to several friends. Does anyone know of any natural cures? I've been told there out there. I don't want to take medication, because all I hear is negative comments. I really want to take care of this naturally.

Hi, I too have GERd or acid reflux. I got it 24 years ago trying to have a baby and pushing for 9 hours straight. I am not a dr., and can only tell you that when I had it bad, I was told to raise the head of my bed on bricks or blocks, not eat after 7 p.m., stay away fgrom spicy foods, nicotine, alcohol, caffeine, etc. Also no tight restricting clothing. there are some good barrier type antacids out there, and avoid foods that trigger the problem. Also try to slow down and chew when you eat. Hope this helps.

I too have reflux...in the throat. It's called Laryngopharyngeal Reflux (LPR).

Here's a very good website on reflux.

Natural cure:
1/4 teespoon baking soda
2 Table spoons Apple Cider Vinegar (natural unfiltered)
8 Oz of water

Take between meals 2 times a day.

ALSO, do not eat anything 3 hours before bedtime.
Same diet restrictions as ulcer.
Reduce stress in your life.
God Bless and peace be with you.
