Goodbye Gaviscon for good! I used to get really terrible acid reflux & found an easy way to cure it with no meds at all & I'm gonna share it with you here.
No medication required at all ! Dead simple. When you eat food it must be allowed to digest properly & after chomping through your food thorougly & swallowing it, this is done by stomach acids, enzymes & bacteria in your gut. If you drink fluid during a meal or wash food down directly after a meal with fluids, you create an acid soup in your gut. This gut soup contains undigested food & diluted stomach acids that produce a response that causes this gut soup to splash your throat & burns your throat!
For years my Doctor prescribed ant-acids & eventually Gaviscon but found out that none of it is necessary.
The cure: Simple lifestyle change/good habit: Just don't drink fluids during a meal or for up to an hour after a meal !!! Best to get into a habit of drinking a glass of water BEFORE your meal & then not drinking for at least an hour after your meal. If you follow this religiously there will be NO MORE gut soup splash backs burning your throat! Get into this habit for life & teach it to others - it really works! 100%
The best other advice I can give you if you still have a problem is to eat a banana. Banana's have a natural ant-acid built in & they taste good & are good for you! ;)
Thank you for the info!
Your very welcome Dralex - it worked for me. Heard recently that the Gaviscon stuff contains Aluminium too. Not sure wether that's true but I'm glad to be shot of the stuff ;)
Interesting. I haven't heard this one. I will give it a try. Thanks!
I used to have the same problem. Stop drinking while eating and also stop laying down right after eating. (need at least a hour before going to bed) Also there are some foods and drinks that can help or get it worse. Basically sugar makes me worse and lemon helps. Every morning I drink a glass of water with lemon before eating anything. That helps a lot. If you have alkaline water that helps too since it reduces the acid from your body overall.
Thank you for this useful information.
