Does anyone else have super bad acid reflux?

I have it to the point where if I don’t get it under control when I start to feel it that I vomit. Like the food will taste great when I’m eating it but I’ll start throwing up at like 230 in the morning if I can’t get enough water to control it.
Sounds like it would be a good idea to see a doctor.

consider raising the head of your bed by about 5 inches. sleep on your left side, whether or not you raise the head of your bed. consider having a small amount (start low, like 1 tsp) of apple cider vinegar (the unfiltered organic type) in warm water at the end of your last meal of the day.

Not that bad, but yeah, you should research it.

I guess when I moved to this area, they have a lot more acid in their water or something, so with my diet of a lot of hot/spicy, tomatoes, sodas and eating later, it was too much for my body.

But according to my Dr. someone with these issues shouldn't eat as late, and limit their acidy food intake and that solved my problem.


Also I think I read online that laying certain ways can help or hurt...

Like I think laying on your right side is worse and left side is better and back is best for some reason?
I had horrible acid reflux like that when my diet was super poor. Once I started eating better, it disappeared almost entirely (I get mild issues like once a year). If you don't eat the best, I'd try fixing that and/or seeing a doctor for it. Shouldn't have to live like that.

have you tried apple cider vinegar? 2 tbs of apple cider vinegar and a tbs of honey mixed in about 4 oz of water. it really helped me with acid reflux. try taking it for at least a few days in a row once a day

@Penny you can use sugar too if you dont have honey. i think it still works

rosieann98 yes tell me about it use to eat antacid pills like sweets particularly if i drink beer but i have strong tablets from the doctor which are a god send one a day is enough
Water doesn't help me... I have to sip at a glass of whole milk to find relief from the burning.

Do you have any indigestion tablets?
Another for me is to sleep on your left. But that might just be me.

I've had bad heartburn a few times the past week or so. Woke up in the middle of the night like that.
