End Acid Reflux for Good!

Acid reflux is a painful and debilitating condition. Prescription and over-the-counter medicines only mask the symptoms and may even make your condition worse. Stop suffering and get your life back with proven natural remedies for acid reflux.

What is Acid Reflux? 

Acid reflux affects millions of people all over the world. It's a painful and sometimes limiting condition where stomach acid and partially digested food backs up into your esophagus, burning your throat and causing pain in your chest behind your breastbone. In really bad cases, the acid can go all the way up into your sinuses!

What Causes Acid Reflux? 

The gods have NOT chosen you and you alone to suffer!

Acid reflux is caused by a weak valve at the entrance to your stomach. This valve is called the lower esophageal sphincter, or LED for short. Normally, the LED closes nice and tightly after food enters your stomach from your esophagus. However, if the LED becomes weak, partially digested food and stomach acid can pass by it and come back up into your esophagus.

Causes of a Weak LED
There are many reasons why a person's LED can go weak:
1. Being overweight. Excess baggage is a leading cause of acid reflux.
2. Hiatal hernia. You may not even know you have one, but it's really common.
3. Overeating. Filling up your stomach too full can put stress on the LED and make it weaken. The more often you overeat, the more damage you're doing to your LED.

What Medicines Can I Take? 

There are some meds available that can help.

Over-the-Counter Medications
Most people reach for over-the-counter medications first. Some good ones are:
1. Tums
2. Pepcid
3. Maalox
4. Milk of Magnesia
Most of these last from an hour or two to half a day and can provide good relief for mild to moderate cases of acid reflux.

Prescription Meds
More chronic and severe cases can be treated with prescriptions like:
1. Prevacid
2. Protonix
3. Prilosec
These are known as proton pump inhibitors and will actually prevent your body from producing very much stomach acid at all. When you're on these meds, your stomach acid production is almost completely shut off.

One of the drawbacks of prescription meds, however, is that most of them have side effects. Prescription medications for acid reflux are no different. Any of these drugs can cause headaches, nausea, and diarrhea. However, acid reflux meds have one more unpleasant side effect when you take them for long-term use, and that's a seriously increased risk of hip fractures.

That's why looking for natural alternatives to this condition is so much safer than taking drugs. Fortunately, plenty of highly effective natural remedies exist.

Natural Remedies for Acid Reflux Work Best 

You can trust Mother Nature!

1. Lose weight. Once you're no longer overweight, your weak LED can begin to heal and end your acid reflux.

2. Stop overeating. You're just causing further damage to your LED every time you eat past feeling full. Rather than eating 3 large meals throughout the day, eat several small ones and only eat until you feel satisfied, not full.

3. Drink aloe juice. It soothes your irritated esophagus and helps it heal. You can find aloe juice in most health food stores.

4. Drink herbal teas like slippery elm, calendula, marshmallow root, and licorice several times a day. If you don't like the taste, these herbs are also available in tincture and capsule form.

Experience counts

If you want to learn more about how to end acid reflux the natural way and get rid of it for good, I recommend reading the Stop Acid Reflux Now! ebook. It was written by a woman who suffered from severe acid reflux for years and couldn't even eat out at her favorite restaurant on her birthday without being in agonizing pain. The book follows her journey from crippling disease to perfect digestive health and how she did it. She shares all of her secrets for curing acid reflux naturally, and some of them are things you won't hear about anywhere else. If you're really suffering, it's well worth the read.
