Thread Name: BS: acid reflux post surgery
Subject: RE: BS: acid reflux post surgery
I have had decades of reflux but I discovered a natural remedy available in Oz called GastroCalm . (It's made by Greenridge, which is associated with the Thursday Plantation company which brought Tea Tree Oil onto the market.)

There are a few herbal ingredients but the meadowsweet apparently is the miracle ingredient. It balances the acid in the stomach to the right amount - not too little, not too much. After years of living on antacid tablets and having bilious attacks after taking even a couple of sinus or antihistamine tablets over a couple of days, I started by taking a dose of GastroCalm every few hours, then after a day or so, only a couple of doses in a day, and then only if I needed a dose. Usually now I only take one dose if something I have eaten disagrees with me and it fixes me up and I usually don't have any reflux for weeks or even months.

I agree about consulting your doctor, Morti, but if reflux is an ongoing problem I don't know of anything which works so well as this. It doesn't just deal with the symptoms, it deals with the cause.
