Hi Garce,
The only valid way that I'm aware of to test for low acid is the Heidelberg Capsule Swallow Test.
Here's a link:

You swallow a capsule which has a thread attached to it and they tape the thread to your cheek...

I never wrote about that brand (I'm not familiar with it) but I did write about using Cal Mag.
The brand I've been using more recently is Solgar. It tastes really good. It's called Solgar Liquid Calcium Magnesium Citrate with Vitamin D3. It comes in Blueberry and also in Orange-Vanilla and...

Mita,
Go to www.naturopathic.org to do a search for a Naturopath in your area. You can find one in Ohio, it's just that only 16 states allow for full licensing and you can actually get reimbursed by insurance. So the one in Ohio can be just as good but he/she is more limited in what they can...

Hi Mita,


Please read through this entire thread from the beginning and you will find ALL of my recommendations. The main things I recommend (in addition to avoiding the foods that may be triggers) are Digestive Enzymes with every meal (my favorite is AbsorbAid) and chewing DGL...

Stomach acid. Ouch.

Hi All!
It's been a while since I've posted. I see that this thread has had 116,613 hits since I started it. Wow! Obviously there are a LOT of people who need help with their reflux issues and the standard drugs that too many doctors prescribe simply do...

Something nice during this freezing weather:
Chocolate is a trigger for a lot of people here. I've noticed that a few drops of liquid chocolate stevia isn't a problem for me. So I've been adding liquid chocolate stevia (like 6 drops) to my cup of Pero and a little half and half. It's not quite...

Nice Hot Drink

Hey All!
I tried a new hot beverage that I like. It's called "Pero". Since we cannot drink coffee or decaf coffee, this is a nice option. I drink herbal tea every day but sometimes I want something with the consistency of coffee - thicker than tea. ...

Good DGL

Hi All,
I've tried a new product that I'm happy with so I want to recommend it.

As you know, I take DGL before every meal. For years, I've been taking the Enzymatic Therapy sugar-free/fructose-free DGL. I even learned to kind of like the taste of black...

Hi Leon,
Welcome!
That's very interesting. I've never tried it. I do remember someone else on another thread on here tried Melatonin. He said it seemed to help his GERD but he had some negative side effects. Here is a link to his thread:

As I said just said just three posts ago, in reply to your first post in this thread...


You have yourself so stressed out that you aren't actually paying attention to what you're reading here.
I will tell you again, READ THIS ENTIRE THREAD. It answers all of your questions....

Well there is no harm in eating smaller meals more often. That's actually a good thing on many levels - everyone should actually always eat that way. But NOT THAT small. And And they don't have to be bland. Just not spicy or acidic. And you have to get nutrition, girl. You need protein and a full...

Yes, you are eating too little and that's why you're losing weight. I don't know what you read that made you think you need to eat tiny amounts of food. Nor do you need to eat "bland" food. But I'm actually surprised that you need to ask if that's why you're losing weight. Read what you...

Hi EllJay!
I'm so sorry to hear about what you're going through. I was able to relate to everything you talked about (um, except the pregnancy part ). The good news is that I relate to this because it happened to me 6 years ago - not because I'm currently dealing with it. So that's...

Me? Run???? BWAHHH HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Um no. If they had a SITTING marathon maybe.
I'd eat the pasta, though

Hey Hayley!
I can't believe it's been 13 weeks. Wow. I'm glad to hear that you've graduated to partial weight bearing. I'm looking forward to seeing you in the New York Marathon! : )
