To those having reflux or gastric problem. I went to a few doctors and they all prescribed the same ole omeprazole with some other pills that are pretty standard with reflux problems. It seemed to work a little for me but the reflux came back once I stopped. And it is not ideal to take medication long term for months. I was also extremely stressed with everything. My stomach would churn, burn, and feel very tight at exactly 2a.m. EVERY night. Very disciplined reflux.
This went on for a few months. I also tried a glass of warm milk before sleeping but nothing helped. At my lowest point, I went to visit a tcm. Nothing wrong w that but I usually don’t believe in tcm. This tcm has been around since decades I heard. And he doesn’t do any acupuncture. I don’t like needles so this was good news to me. So don’t just go to any tcm but you need to listen and find an experienced one WITH NO ACUPUNCTURE. Instructions given were very particular.
I was told to STOP any sugar. That means no drinks, no fruits, no deep fried food, no spicy. Sounds easy? It was so so so difficult because I used to eat fruits like 3x a day. And I loved my fast food. He also gave me some tcm meds, herbs type. I took them for 2 weeks. Initially i didn’t believe but it got better. Like 40%. Then the meds finished. I stopped.
And reflux came back for a while. I tried one more time and went back for second meds from same tcm. Repeated. And now it is better by 70%. Reflux is not so bad now. Not 100% cured but better than nothing. The logic for no sugar is so that the stomach can recover and digest easier. I even lost 2 kg in 1 month. Now I am able to re introduce sugar back into my life slowly. I still get reflux but it has tamed down a lot more. So try the no sugar no deep fried diet! No sweets no chocs no drinks no yoghurt no deep fried no sugary bread no cakes no fruits no chili no spice.
To compensate the lack of fruits in my diet, I ate a lot of vegetables. Almost every meal I had a whole plate of vegetables for myself. Just try to make a change in your diet first and take note of how your reflux will react.
