. . . acid blockers don’t merely shut off acid pumps in the stomach? Recent research warns that they also shut off production of acid inside the mitochondria every cell in our bodies! . . .
. . . The health of our mitochondria determine our overall health. Yet here we are blithely interfering with their cellular energy production and detoxification processes.
Sometimes our cells need more acid and sometimes the opposite. But you can be sure that no drug company knows (or cares) precisely what your mitochondria need to keep your cells happy and flourishing.
Each cell may have hundreds or even thousands of mitochondria. . . .

I like slippery elm. It takes some getting use to, but makes a nice tea in the winter.

I have found taking HCl with meals helped with acid reflux following the meals, but I still had a problem hours later.
What I recently discovered is that taking probiotics more frequently has helped, 4-5 times per day, and making sure it is the right amount. I think somehow there is an infection like fungus causing the problem.
Just sharing in case that can help, kayak. We both have been dealing with living in too much mold. I have made some improvements at home, but still work in a bad place. The level of mold also matters quite a lot in the amount of reflux I get.

I tried that for a bit, and while I remember a day or two that felt like success, really it didn't do much for me.

I did take the prilosec or whatever for about 2 weeks when I was at my worst with this issue, and it did help when nothing else seemed to , but hat was when I had so many many more and other worse sx , etc.
now that I have more ducks in a row with my issues I dont' need such a heavy duty blaster as that. my nurse friend always tells me to avoid taking them at all costs. I am glad other things help me now. hopefully other people can reach that ponit too.
