This may not be true for everybody. I suffered from acid reflux for a long time and used acid blockers like prevacid, aciphex protonix etc. Recently I found out my reflux symptoms are caused by low acid than high acid. Low stomach acid levels triggers a valve to open causing the acid to move up. With that understanding I started sipping Orange Juice(regular strength) during and in between meals - that has helped me and I am totally free from reflux these days. I also started sipping a glass of water mixed with a table spoon of apple cider vinegar throughout the day. I believe this has really helped me. This is supported by a lot of research findings you can find on the internet by searching for 'Low acid acid reflux'. I am posting a section of the article from the website 'foodallergysolutions' below: ------------------------------------------- Low Acid Production: Ironically, low stomach acid levels can result in heartburn. This is much more common than increased acid. This problem can be assessed clinically and is readily treatable. Medications: Many medications cause heartburn as a side-effect, including, several acid blockers. These include: Acid Blockers: Prevacid, Prilosec, Zantac, etc. Asthma inhalers (beclamethasone, flovent, etc). Corticosteroids Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDs), such as aspirin, ibuprofen, and naproxen. Antianxiety medications, such as diazepam (Valium) and lorazepam (Ativan). Osteoporosis drugs such as alendronate (Fosamax). -----------------------------------------------------
