I found a cure that works perfectly for me.

My doctor prescribed a truckload of antiacids and proton-pump inhibitors for me, until they stopped working. Then, as a new year's resolution, I decided to stop eating potato chips... after avoiding them for about 3 weeks, the acid reflux completely went away. Whether it was because of all the salt, or the oil, I don't know, but it solved it for me. Give it a try!



What kind of doctor prescribes medicine without first asking what the patient is eating?

Fries are the first thing to cut from the diet to stop reflux, along with chocolate, soda, alcohol, coffee, milk and it's derivates.


Greasy and oily foods definitely seem to make acid reflux worse for me.


It could be just that. I was at a point where I could not lie down for 5 seconds without feeling like I was choking in my own acid until I quit eating chips.
