no i would not spend m oney on something like that. my mmother swears by a little apple cider vinegar in warm water, my grandmother swears by warm milk but i found when i gave up eating wheat all my severe Acid Reflux problems disappeared overnight. i would look at your diet first and make some changes to find out if something is not agreeing with you. good luck

I suffered with this for years until I found LOSEC, one per day and I can eat and drink anything. 1 problem is once you start taking these you will never stop!

Get Lansoprazole from your doctor, it works wonders. I have tried everything and these tables are the only thing that has really helped. I just take one 15mg tablet a day. Not a natural remedy though.

my best friend has Acid Reflux and I have changed his
diet, he tries to stay away from spicy food and
that seems to help.

Well diet first. Drop the items that cause most problems and acid. Peppermint is natural and should help,,,, Why natural? I have been taking meds for years with no problems.. One proton pump inhibitot capsule omce a day(omezprazole) .. And Gaviscon liquid as a short term remedy if getting an attack. Also Gaviscon tablets for when you are out… I also have a hiatus hernia which aggravates the reflux problem….. I keep clear of acidic things like citrus fruit, carbonated drinks and wines and spirits.. Also watch use of vinegar, sauces and pickles. Be honest I have never heard of Bob Barton .

please, try this- I swear by it. Simply eat some raw celery. It works really well, and everyone I have shared this with agrees. Celery is very alkaline and will stop your heartburn/reflux quickly, gently, naturally, cheaply, and with NO side effects. Do a search for “celery heartburn” and see what you find. Seriously, it works very well.
-EDIT-
I keep getting thumbs down every time I give this simple, cheap solution to this very common problem, when THIS ACTUALLY WORKS!!
Someone on here seems to have an issue with this for some reason- all I can say to them is to TRY IT and see for yourself. It’s not like I’m recommending something ludicrous like homeopathy.
Here’s two quotes and some links:

INGREDIENTS: Celery
INSTRUCTIONS: My doctor told me to try celery, she swears by it forheartburn relief. I thought is sounded silly, but she said it is highly alkaline, which counteracts the acid. It works great! And almost immediately. Now I have a constant supply of celery in my fridge.

Oh, I suffer w/ Acid Reflux as well and it’s awful. I am on Protium 40mg once a day and I take it about 30-40 mins before I eat and I generally have no problems once I’ve taken this tablet. I tried a natural remedy but it didn’t do the trick for me =( Hope all is well.

i wouldn’t spend money on anything like that either. I chew an extra strong mint which helps….and I get a fair bit of heartburn while I am pregnant….although the celery sounds like its worth a try..

I bought this when I was desperate like you,but I would not recommend it it mainly tells you to eat your food slowly and to chew it really well,and recommends honey and aloe Vera. What cured mine was banana and milk ,my doctor said she it was thought to work as well as the tablets she was prescribing and it has I have not had it since, I cut banana in half and have with milk before a meal and as I said I am fine now I used to think I was dieing .all the best hope that works . I do not take tablets now at all

If you want to get rid of heartburn, do the following:
avoid acidic or fried foods and red meat.
Take liquorice (if you don’t have high blood pressure or a kidney problem), chamomile and in particular cramp bark (Viburnum opulus). Also, nettle, couch grass, corn silk and horsetail (Urtica dioica or urens, Agropyron or Triticum repens, Zea mays and Equisetum arvense) are all high in silica and can strengthen the sphincter into the stomach.
Don’t wear clothes that are tight around the waist.
Avoid constipation by chewing thoroughly, exercising, drinking plenty of fluid, avoiding tea and eating wholefoods.
Sit down to eat, don’t get up for a while afterwards and don’t eat on foot.
Ensure your posture is good. Maybe do Yoga or see an Alexander trainer.
There may be other advice depending on your situation, but that would be most of it.
I don’t know what’s in the report, but the Hippocratic Oath requires all doctors to give health care free of charge.

Go to the health food store and get aloe vera juice to drink.
In a couple of weeks you should be feeling better.
Drink before your meal not during or for at least one hour after. Chew your food don’t gulp it down. it is better to treat the cause not the symptom.
