[sunlightgardens]

I cant take the Acid reflux tablets as they destroyed me. I am trying everything Gaviscon, exercises but it never goes. How long can acid keep come up before doing you permanent damage. I am fit, healthy & eat well. Just want it to stop. It happened first when I talked. Acid used to come up

Do you mind telling me what was the name of the acid reflux tablets and why can't you take them?

I have had them all, They destroy my kidneys, I get a pain in my lower back. feel terrible, I get nervous putting one in my mouth omeprazole First, Ranitidine second, Pantoprazole, lansoprazole and ranitidine together, I think I took them for 18 months and my body said no more

Did your doctor prescribe all these similar tablets? Usually one recognised tablet is taken for acid reflux as they come in different strengths. I suggest you make an appointment with your doctor to discuss your health together with a review of your medication. This doesn't sound right taking so many tablets together.

no I took them all at different times over the course of 18-24 months. At first I was OK then in the end I could not take them. Acid fluid used to come up in my mouth when I spoke, none of these tablets could get rid of it

Then the time has come to ask your doctor for a referral to an appropriate consultant. Such excess acid like you are getting could cause damage by refluxing into your lungs. I am now on a low dose of Omaprazole as i managed to come right down to 10mg. Consultant says to stay on this low dose as I have bronchiectasis which is a lung disease. It sounds horrific having that horrible acid in your mouth. You have to get it sorted as it could also damage your oesophagus.

Ranitidine twice, I se. If you were taking ranitidine with a meal, it was producing carcinogens in proportion to the nitrites in the meal. See, e.g. the new Bloomberg article, "Zantac’s Maker Kept Quiet About Cancer Risks for 40 Years"

Have you had allergy/intolerance tests? I changed certain things in my diet that seemed to be setting off the acid ... much better. I know it when I eat these things! Try to find outwhat is actually causing the acid. I tried all those tabs like you over years but none effective and only made me ill.

[sunlightgardens in reply to chotiroti]

thank you, there are certain stuff that causes my acid to be worse, Onions, milk, tomatoes spicy. But nothing removed really stops its

You need to look at your diet. No acidic foods at all. No spicy foods. No fizzy drinks. No acidic drinks. In other words a very bland diet. Raise the head of your bed, not just pillows or you'll hurt your neck,,you can buy a wedge off Amazon to prop you up.Try to rest after eating to allow your food to settle. Do not bend for a while after eating.

Hope this helps good luck.

Just remembered be careful with fatty foods

this is exactly what I do, it sound like you have been dowb the same path as me. I even changed my car to a better seating position. I have just implemented this one Do not bend for a while after eating. This seems to be helping. Chewing gum helps
