Hi, your advice seems to be helping!
i was told i might have GERD by my doc sometime ago. the symptoms started abt 4-5 months ago. stomach aches, what felt like horrible acidity & heartburn, even had fissures (wonder if its a general digestive tract muscle dysfunction...). it was definitely stress related in my case, i think.
anyways, i've been on medication (proton pump inhibitors) for a few months now. what really upset me apart from the pain & general discomfort was that i had to take medication forever for this 'incurable' disorder. i was searching for alternative remedies/cures for GERD when i came across your posting. i bought "really raw honey"--that's the brand, from an organic store where i live & have been swallowing a half inch diameter lump of it before sleeping & after lunch (AND doing all the other stuff like chewing cooked food well, water etc) for the last 2 days. today i didn't take my medication for the first time. i felt some discomfort before lunch but had chapped banana+milk & raw honey & felt better soon. i think i'm going to give myself 1 or 2 medication free days a week & see where this goes...keeping my fingers crossed!
hope this trend continues. this is really treating the problem where it is, instead of messing with the system unneccessarily.
also 'pranayam' - yoga breathing techniques have been helping me immensely. done in the mornings for abt 20-25 mins, they calm me a lot.
thank you,
M.
