Starting December of 2016, my reflux got so bad the back of my throat was constantly burned. I could go a week without using the bathroom... I was taking double doze of nexium and couldn't get any relief. I knew that nexium was bad for your heart. So I finally made a radical change.
I started forcing myself to drink at least 50oz of water a day. I was never thirsty so I wouldn't think to drink.
Then I started buying fruits and vegetables at the grocery store every week and making sure I was getting big daily doses of each. I immediately stopped taking nexium and it got worst for 3 days, then slowly got better. I've been without serious reflux or heartburn for one year. I'm a believer of the importance of the right diet for our age, our body and our lifestyle. I don't think there is a one diet fits all. A little bit of exercise, lots of water and plenty of fruits and vegetables were the magic that fixed me.
Great article. Thanks for sharing.
I'm glad you got better. Plants are the best for health. Water and exercise help too ;)
