I have hardcore acid reflux that I take an onslaught of over the counter antacids and acid reducers, but....

Does anyone know of a strain to either make the burning sensation in the stomache to go away? or even better, a strain that reduces the acid production ? like Zantac75 would do?

Thanks for any info!

Dude, I feel for ya. I got it too. Bigtime. So far no luck on the helpful strains. Although I'm willing to keep trying more strains. You know- take one for the team.

Doctors have said it can be controlled by quitting :smoking (only pot here-no cigs), coffee, alcohol, hot sauce, soda, tomato products,etc. Basically all my favorite things. YEAH RIGHT! I'm a chef- aint gonna happen. So far I too have been a constant consumer of Tagamet. I can tell ya that if you get a scrip it is cheaper than the OTCs. Good luck bro.

yeah, they're a bitch and expensive, I dont have it TOO bad, but its an everyday reminder. I eat Pepsid total control on random burns, but I keep a good regimine of Zantac in me to keep the acid production low.

Good luck with the Acid Reflux, I heard once it sets in, there is a bacteria that can develop and this causes it to keep coming back. There is an expensive 2 week brutal pill treatment to kill that bacteria.

oh well, time for me to sleep

have a good night cook!

I have this maybe 1-2 week a month. What I do is I take double dose OTC Pepsid or generic knockoff twice a day every day when it's acting up. If I get heartburn on top of this I take 2 Tums Ultra. That seems to keep it in check. When you're sleeping keep your head elevated a few inches ( I put a 4x4" block under the legs at the head of the bed, but a stack of pillows works too ).

If it gets more frequent than it is now, I'll probably go on a once a day proton pump blocker ( eg Nexium ).

If you have constant hard core acid reflux, I'd recommend you go on every day proton pump blocker like Nexium ( this is more of a preventative med, so you have to take it every day ), and use your favorite antacid for breakthru.

I feel lucky we have acid blockers these days. My old man had this and all he could do was munch on Tums regular strenght or take Maalox, which didn't cut it most of the time.

yeah, acid reflux is definatly in the genes over here as well. I take 2 zantac75 in the morning, and 2 at night, and pecid anytime I get reflux burns after that.

It's a pain, I'd get nexium if I could afford it, that purple pill really does help... but its so fucking expensive, I hate the american drug system.

Thanks for all the suggestions and help!

You're welcome guy - btw I just checked and Prilosec ( Omeprazole ) is OTC now at around $26 for 42 capsules - one capsule a day. Not quite as good as Nexium, but a whole lot better than Tagamet and Pepcid.

Hey, there must be a strain in all this - how about DeepMaaloxChunk or Pepcidaze

wickyd · 10-22-2004, 11:15 PM

well, if I Ever come across a strain that helps my attacks, I will definatly cut a few cuts and send em yalls way!

I'm a strainwhore, so I'll be testing what I can, when I can!

Prilosec, never tried that, but I shall now.

Acid Reflux licks my ball sack... get it almost every day...just a word of advice about Prilosec OTC...it says to take it for 14 days and that lasts for 4 months....wrong!!! They just do that so u see if it helps and can then go get more advice from a doc...if ur going to go that route make sure u take one pill every single day! Trust me ive asked my doc about it and its safe to take daily...hope this helps! oh and hate to say it...but i dont think ur going to find a strain that helps with this as smoke inhilation is a clear cause of acid reflux...take it easy guys

I used to have the same thing and took everything under the sun to fix it with no real success.

After tons of research I found the fix.

Acid Reflux is actually caused by a lack acid in the stomach not to much. When you take an antiacid it actually zaps the acid levels in your stomach down so low that it shocks your body into producing a flood of acid to get get your stomach back in a digestive balance. Stomach acid is what digest your food so it is naturally produced by your system for that purpose and it only when those levels get to low that you get Acid Reflux.

Drink vinegar or pickle juice and bye bye acid reflux. Really any acid producing substance but anti acid only take your levels down to force your body into opening the flood gates of acid to compensate.

Sounds crazy and simple but the pharmies have convenced everyone that there is a pill for everything that ails ya.

Big money overpowers truth and common since sometimes
