Someone had chest pains and went to hospital and found out it was just gas or something she ate. Anyway someone remarked that she shouldn't take Tums. WHY? Also there is a site that has an alternative for Acid Reflux but it costs. What do you think? http://tinyurl.com/yvlcsl
A natural, safe remedy to totally eliminate the problem is natural apple cider vinegar. Some people can drink it straight but I prefer to make a morning drink by adding 1 tablespoon apple cider and 1 tablespoon honey to a cup of warm water. In addition to alkalizing stomach acid, when used daily, it helps your body eliminate toxins.
Regular apple cider vinegar will not work because the pasteurizing process removes important enzymes. I use MS Braggs brand. Most health food stores carry it and even some Walmart stores.

When my mother was recovering from being thrown from the family car in an accident, at age 45, her (bad) dr. prescribed, for several years, uppers AND downers, etc. She became a mess and went to a chiropractor who was also what we'd call today a naturopath.
That man and his partner told her how to eat healthy, and her whole attitude changed toward foods. (As did my dad's, witnessing the miracle of having her back, mind AND body.)
From then on, her breakfast was always a glass of V-8 juice with vinegar, blackstrap molasses, wheat germ, and I forget what else. Called it her "goop." It looked horrible. She'd stir it and drink it and claimed it actually tasted good. We all hooted at it and went ewwwww, but honestly that concoction brought her back to health and gave her her mind back. She died of natural causes at 87.
