Acid Reflux Symptoms

Acid Reflux Symptoms from what I've read could probably differ with different people.
Burning throat, the feeling that the meal you just eat is coming up all of a sudden. Maybe even fast than you eat it down.

Well, this is what happened to me the first time I experienced an attack with acid reflux.

I can remember plainly. It was late that evening. I wanted something to snack on after a long day at work and my wife had cooked for our regular meal time during the week, which is usually between 6:30 pm and 7 pm.

Now it's around 10:30 pm that night. I was watching TV. The Steve Harvey Show and while being entertained, I just decided to enjoy a bowl of cereal, "Frosted Flakes." I had done this hundreds of times in the past and nothing happen except a feeling of enjoyment.

I didn't even gain weight, but those were the good ole days. When I was younger I never had to worry about gaining weight, eating late at night and waking up in an unpleasant sweat. Scared to death because something had just happen to me that I didn't know why or what was going on. For a brief second I believe I had lost my breath and what I didn't want to do was go into a panic. I wanted to get back to sleep but I couldn't. Every time I laid down. I could feel the food coming back.

My throat was burning and I could taste that cereal coming up my throat faster than it had went down. The burning sensation was so unpleasant not even a quick glass of water did anything for it. I was choking and coughing. Almost all night. I know my wife had a difficult time getting back to sleep. I woke her up just to beat my back. I couldn't breath.

That was my first experience with acid reflux. Me being me, it didn't stop me from eating late at night. I just thought it was something else, I didn't know what but I was fine. At least for now. Out of stomach out of mind.

After a few times, maybe months and years of this happening. I realized I had a problem and I begin making changes to my eating habits.

My wife told me about eating "baking soda", and it worked for me, not all at once but I found if I ate enough of it and drank some water. Eventually, or sometime that night I would be able to get some sleep. All I really wanted was to get some sleep and be able to have my late night snacks. You know have my cake and eat it too.

All this time, I still didn't know what this disease was called then one day I was watching TV and a famous football player was talking about "Acid Reflux."

The illness he had described and called Acid Reflux, sounded very much like the things that were going on with me. Then and just then did I realize, I must have Acid Reflux.

Now, the funny thing about me is I hate doctors and medicine or pills. It's a personal thing. I also realize that this thing called acid reflux wasn't happening ever night. Only the evening when I was doing something I shouldn't. Like in my case drinking milk. I used to love milk growing up. But now I couldn't drink it after around 6 pm. That's what I notice for my body. I also could eat late at night anymore.

Later I was introduced to a product that I put in water to help me get energy (I was working out to lose weight) and that product did more than help me gain energy. I discovered the acid reflux symptoms were gone when I took it and this was a all natural product.

The funny thing is this, almost within months or weeks after I elected to stop taking or drinking my water with this sacket, oh I was also eating late at night again and drinking milk, guess what happen?

The acid reflux symptoms used to have came back. But this time I knew what was going on and it was a mental decision to change some habits more than anything else.

I also realize that others, my brother and some friends also experienced this thing. We had similar acid reflux symptoms but treated it different. Some worked or so they say and some were taking notes, probably looking to go back that day and try these things out for themselves.

Well, today about 5 years later and after visiting my doctor, not for acid reflux but just a regular checkup. I realize one thing. I still don't like doctors and I definitely don't like taking pills. I don't like the ideal of the different side effects you could have. Sometimes the doctors don't tell you everything. After all, the pills have got to come from something (plant or something) natural. Right?

I'm a believer that if I eat properly, it can help my body keep in decent shape. Getting older is getting older but I still must battle mentally to eat the right foods.

I notice one day watching a program on TV that acid reflux can cause certain kinds of cancer if not treated. They were trying to push some pill on you. In the fine print they were listing all the side effects this pill could bring. That sounds CRAZY to me.

Now that kind of scared me but I didn't want to alarm my wife so, I kept reading articles and books on the subject when I can across them. Not thinking about it heavily because it hardly brothers me today.

But I have realized something. You can prevent a lot of diseases just by being a little more careful about what you eat. I friend once told me, "You are what you eat."

That sounded at the time too dumb to be true after all, I was probably eating a Big Mac when they said it.

Oh, before I end let me mention a good article I found that I felt the information was valuable in learning more about Acid Reflux Symptoms and Natural Ways to Prevention and Curing.

I do want to also mention before you click on the link to read more. I'm not a doctor and if you're already taking something for your acid reflux you should consult your doctor before changing anything.
