Acid Reflux

[RAINYDAYS]

Has anyone tried turmeric for acid reflux?

[Old_Geezer]

Not heard of that one. Do you have a link ?

Did think of increasing use of turmeric for joint pain once; but discovered that one couldn't consume enough in a normal diet to get the desired amount of curcumin, so I gave up on the idea.

Ask in Holland & Barrett. They do a capsual. Worth a try. Let us know!

I have severe acid reflux - doctor put me on omeprazole - if I miss a single day I’m in terrible pain, but I’ve never ever heard of taking turmeric.

Turmeric is good for digestion, take care if you are on certain blood thinners or are diabetic - especially if the supplement has a high content.

[pastafreak]

Diabetes, mamya? I've read that turmeric can aid in regulating blood sugar.

smow, that's the funny thing about these prazoles - I was put on it for very occasional reflux and choking on food - uncomfortable but it happened once a month, if that. Now if I miss a single pill I get the reflux within hours.

[Mamyalynne]

Pasta, I only know that for some caution should be used and of course it depends how high the concentration of any supplement is.

For most I imagine it's a very good thing to take.

Apologies if I made it sound like you shouldn't try it.

[pastafreak]

Thats ok, mamya. I was just curious.

[Smowball]

Jno that’s me! I forgot it on Saturday morning and by the eve I was in agony.

[Patsy33]

Same here. Once you start taking them, you're hooked!

[Smowball]

But if I stop taking them I’m in terrible pain anyway

[ummmm]

I'm not hooked on mine.

[Peter Pedant]

yeah I was gonna say Lansop is better
and no it is not addictive

[Smowball]

Lansop? Never heard of that.

[woofgang]

Lansoprazole

Ohhhhh, thanks.

It could be something to do your diet, eg. you could be lactose intolerant . Have you tried cutting out all dairy? apples are good too.
