A member asked:
Are there any treatments for non acidic reflux / alkaline reflux / bile reflux? not responding to ppi's or h2's. i am willing to try herbs or meds.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hard to treat: You can try amphojel or alternagel because they bind bile, but if they don't work, try cholestryamine (will need an rx) because it binds bile acids. No matter what you use, it is hard to treat.

Well, my physician has finally said, you don't respond to PPIs and have Bile Reflux so it may be surgery time. I've been begging for nissen for three years, now I'm nervous as sin. Will it really help reflux, and reduce cancer risk?
