Acid reflux???

My throat keeps hurting like it burns and feels like I'm gonna throw up. Is this reflux??? Do you know a quick and easy remedy to help the pain???!!! Thanx!

It could be acid reflux and a simple antacid may work. Besides medication, try to avoid a lot of soda, chocolate and spicy foods. (Spicy foods do not cause reflux, but they can make it worse) When mine gets really bad I find that following a bland diet for a while helps a lot.

I hope you feel better.

Could be. I would see your doctor. But in the mean time. Try drinking aloe vera juice. You can find it at health food stores. It really helps. Also, don't lie down right after you eat, eat smaller meals, and avoid spicy foods.

i've heard drinking milk helps neutralise the acid

It sounds like it. I have it also. Go to the drugstore and buy like some pepcid ac, prilosec, etc. You might have to experiment with a couple different ones until you find one that will work well. If over the counter doesnt work, then you'll need to go to the doctors and get some testing done and a prescription. Hope you feel better soon.

My son had acid reflux. You can try over the counter medications such as Tagament. Also a change of diet sometimes helps. Sugars and dairy products tend to make this kind of condition worse. If you continue to have this problem I would highly suggest you go see a doctor as sometimes it can lead to other physical problems.

Yeah. You've got it. Be careful, becuase if it's constant it could be your gallblader. Be safe and get checked out by your doctor. He/she will probably give an otc -- over the counter -- medicine like Prilosec (works after a week) or Zantac (works immediately). I'm on previcid, which is a prescription. Check them out, they worked best for me. But Prilosec takes forever to kick in. Zantac is great. Trilli

There is no quick fix for acid reflux, if it is you have to take medication like Protonix. You should check with your doctor to see if it is reflux, if not maybe drink some maylox?

I get this quite often.....I found the best remedy is actually Gaviscon, it works faster and better than anything else!!

buy Prilosec (over the counter) in a purple box. it works wonders. it takes about 24 hours to start working but after that - the burning will be gone, gone, gone!

I have had acid reflux for 25 years. I have tried all the tagamet, gaviscon, prilosec, tums...blah blah blah...and I do mean all of it.

Here is the absolute best remedy that brings almost instant relief. I know you may think its nuts as did I but honestly try it!

1 Tablespoon of Cider Vinegar.

Just drink it. It isn't the best going down and you will belch a couple of times (which will smell like you just ate a salad), but within 5-10min max it is gone almost completely.

Give it a try...what have you got to lose.

I was given this as an answer as to why it works...often times people with acid reflux have it because of the inablility of the stomach to produce enough acid to digest what you have eaten. Having said that...by taking the tablespoon of vinegar it triggers the stomach to produce more acid to digest the food faster. You would think you would want less acid, but actually that just masks it.

Good Luck and let me know how it works for you!
