I suffer from very bad Acid Reflux, take Prilosec and Zantac(And sometimes Tums) without it I would get a very bad sore so there’s no other way around it for me. My Mom suffers from GERD, so does my brother and sister its a family thing
Actually it’s a nutritional thing. You are a victim of the Standard American Diet (SAD). It is not genetic. It runs in the family because you eat the same thing. I got rid of mine permanently. Google Dr Joel Wallach and acid reflux.
