Who here has actually recovered from GERD? - Acid Reflux / GERD Message Board

Who has been able to make recovery from GERD completely (i.e....been able to get back to Indian food, Mexican food, etc.). Officially I've only had GERD in my life for 6 months now. I am 24 years old and weigh 150 lbs, 5'10 male. This all just came about so randomly. I was in Japan eating sushi and eating other risky food, but I had no problem with that. I was doing exercise 1 day and all of a sudden after the work-out my right-side started hating. I've been this way ever since.

Any success stories?

I had HORRIBLE acid reflux for a couple of years and was on medication twice a day. Found out that the medication only numbed me for a short time and then the symptoms would come back. I had to go off all coffee, which I LOVE. Went on the Internet and found Digestinol tablets, which consist of a very strong aloe vera content. I can now drink coffee and am much better. I will warn you that it may seem expensive, but, in the long run, it will be worth the money. You do not have to start out with the schedule that the company recommends, if you don't want to. Good luck. It is all NATURAL.

Keep in mind that folks who recovered have probably left the board.

A friend of mine who had the same exact symptoms as me has been acid reflux free for the past two years. He told me he exercised and also he's the type that never worries. I think the last one is the big acid reflux fixer.

My family dr. told me that some people just need to allow their esophagus and the LES (sphincter) to heal and have a break from the acid. Then they can slowly wean off and maybe only need to take OTC drugs, or a stronger drug once a week.

Good point made by JaneWhite1---most people on this board are probably not here because they feel good. Rest assured, if I find something that cures me, I will never forget to MAKE A BIG ANNOUNCEMENT on this board! If not for the knowledge, then for the hope for others. I keep thinking, like other minor ailments I have had, that THIS TOO SHALL PASS. But who knows..........
