A member asked:
What can i use to help me with my horrible acid reflux? i try tums (calcium carbonate) and all the over-the-counter stuff! i need help bc i'm tired of throwing up acid!

Tums (calcium carbonate) won't do it: Please get examined by a doc. A natural approach is to use lots of dgl. Dgl is licorice supplement but it has an enzyme removed that can raise BP licorice is eaten over a long period of time. Avoiding acid-forming foods can help and don't lie down right after eating. Peace and good health.
