What meds are good for reflux?

I've been experiencing this lately for the first time.
I tried Tums, they don't help.
I threw up in my mouth the other day. Luckily it was just a bunch of water...🤢

I suffered horribly from acid reflux. The day I was fired from my job it vanished instantly.

You need to speak to your doctor about it. Antacids only have limited effect, you may need something more potent.

Prilosec or Nexium can be effective. As others suggested, you should speak to a doctor for proper evaluation.

I had acid reflux from my gall bladder being full. I used something natural to get rid of the stones. And do it every 6 months or so to prevent more.

@iamnikki I drank beet, carrot, apple & ginger juice that I made myself in my juicer. One glass (about 8 ounces) every morning on an empty stomach for 3 weeks, the website that I learned this from recommended 10 days but I was getting every last stone out, my gall bladder felt like it was ready to pop. The betaine in beet juice helps clean the liver too.

Nexium works really well. You'll need a prescription from your GP.
