Can any one tell how to treat GERD?
I am 30 yrs old suffering from GERD for the past 3 years. I tried PPIs & antacids. PPIs are causing more side effects. If I stop taking PPIs, heartburn comes after 2 hrs from eating.
So I tried ayurvedic treatment for the past 3 months. It also doesn't work.
I reduced my weight from 87 kgs to 77 kgs. I raised my bed for 6 inches last year itself. I am non alcoholic & taking cooked vegetables for breakfast & taking pomegranate juice
in the evening. Taking dinner at 6:45 itself.
Can any one suggest any natural way or better treatment for GERD?
Thank you.

Hi,
Slipperly Elm powder taken before every meal can help line the stomach and oesophagus protecting the lining and preventing ulceration of the stomach and throat. I have also had feedback lately of manuka honey being used for GERD. Not sure how the mechanisms for this would work because it is usually used as a natural antibacterial but the feedback has been excellent. I would try using both together. Both are available from health food stores.
