Hi there,

I can recommend an old chinese remedy for acid reflux........ginger juice.....
you can make it with a juicer 1/4 tsp every day. Its hot stuff, so you can drink in in hot water........Here are some alternatives:
Ginger tea
Ginger ale
Ginger cookies
Purchase fresh juiced ginger from health food store,
you can store it in the frig for up to 3 months.

First and formost, you really need to take a look at your diet. I found that it was the food I was eating that gave me the worst acid reflux.

Good luck
Barb

PS,

Regarding your arthritis, that can be another diet issue. Many people who eliminate sugar , white flour, whole wheat, and processed foods, eliminate arthritis pain. Just a suggestion

For the arthritis you can try Glucosamine. Give it a couple of months. If it's going to help it should by then.
