Acid Reflux

Many people suffer with acid reflux and heartburn symptoms in the United States. During the holidays, eating many traditional foods can really irritate this condition. I know, I have been suffering from this uncomfortable problem for the past three years and it got so severe that I have sought medical treatment for it. The reason that I went to see my doctor about it, is that I learned that leaving acid reflux untreated can destroy the lining of the esophagus and throat, and that can even lead to many more serious health issues.

Since my doctor has been treating me for this condition, I was on the lookout for other ways that could also help me relieve the pain of acid reflux. What I found was many of the Mt. Capra products could help me when dealing with the burning that would occur when eating many of my favorite foods. I checked with my doctor first to make sure that taking organic whole food supplements would not interfere with the medications that I was already taking. Giving him the information on each product helped me to decide on which natural product was right for my condition.

I started using the Mineral Goat Whey powder mixed in a glass of water to help relieve the burning. I got immediate relief from this product. The reason why I started using this instead of an over-the-counter antacid tablets is because I wanted a more natural product. With that being said, I also started focusing on my overall health. I learned that avoiding certain foods such as fried foods, spicy foods and caffeine would help me avoid food triggers that can cause acid reflux. So, I started taking organic vitamins to avoid many of the additives that are added to many other types of vitamins that could also be triggering some of my symptoms.

In conjunction with taking my prescribed medications for acid reflux, many of the natural supplements have helped me to better manage my condition. Knowing and understanding this painful condition has helped me in making better choices when it comes to food. Taking herbal supplements that can aid in digestion and my prescribed medication is helping me to experience that burning sensation less. This in turn has helped in the healing process of my esophagus thanks to the great products on this site.
