Heartburn Help Needed.
Hello. I have had stomach problems for about 15 years. Currently, I am dealing with severe heartburn. I have taken Protonix, Aciphex, Nexium, Prilosec, Carafate, Zantac (when it was still an Rx) and everything over the counter. The OTC stuff doesn't even touch my symptoms anymore and the Rx's all stop working after a few months. My symptoms are: extreme heartburn all the time and continual belching. When the heartburn is really bad, I almost feel as if there is a solid wall in my chest. Sometimes I have pain in my left side, about halfway up my ribcage, with a sour feeling in my stomach. Outside influences don't seem to matter. My symptoms are the same day and night, whether I am full or hungry.I have had a blood test for diabetes and H. Pylori, upper and lower GI's and an endoscopy to check for GERD, among other things. The endoscopy showed that my stomach was very red and irriated. The official diagnosis was that I have an "angry stomach". Also, I have a mild milk allergy. If I don't take my current prescription, I can't eat. I am hoping to find a more natural way to treat this. Any ideas?

Thank you Mr. De Livera. I have orderd the Nas Phox 6x and will let you know as soon as I begin taking it.
I saw on the thread mentioned above that Coca-cola should not be taken with homeopathic remedies. Is this because of the caffeine? I drink the caffeine-free version. Would this be acceptable?

The majority of Cola based beverages contain both Caffein and Coca both of which are stimulants.
I have observed that they both antidote the action of Homeopathic remedies as do all preserved meats with Saltpeter all of which are best avoided.
I am aware that canned beverages are used in the developed countries in preference to water, either from the tap or from bottles which are presumably from spring sources. I would recommend that you drink at least 5 ltrs of water per day especially during summer as your body needs it to be on peak performance.

Thanks for your reply. You are right, I need to drink more water. I've had a hard time weaning myself off Coca-Cola, but the Nas Phox will be my motivation to try. Anything is better than this heartburn.
One more question, then I will leave you alone. I saw on another web site that cell salts like Nas Phox should not be used in conjuction with other homeopathic remedies? Is this true?
Thank you,
Donna

I do not believe that the 12 Cell salts cannot be used with other Homeopathic remedies. I have often prescribed Arnica 6c and Nat Phos 6x and they work together very successfully.
Glad to note that you have taken my advice and that you are trying to wean yourself away from coca cola and I also hope Coffee. Both are addictive and in your case you have every reason not to take them as you have been dependent on a cocktail of drugs to overcome your GERD symptoms with Protonix, Aciphex, Nexium, Prilosec, Carafate, Zantac.
Stop all drugs and use only Homeopathic remedies unless you have some ailment that requires a drug on a SOS basis. You have to turn a new page in your life and how you do so is up to you. I can only advise you but the rest it up to you.
I note that you have referred to Nat Phos as Nas Phox. Please correct the spelling when ordering the remedy which should only be Nat Phos 6x for any GERD problem. I would also advise you to use Arnica 6c in the wet dose every night as this too will help your body to recover from the ravages of the drugs that you have been using up to now.

I received the email alert for your post but when I opened it I discovered that you had deleted it and I do not understand the reason why you had done so.
For what it is worth I shall copy below my default therapy for GERD:
It is very likely that you suffer from Hyperacidity or Gastritis, aka GERD (Gastro Esophagal Reflux Disease) and I shall copy my default therapy that has helped hundreds of patients to overcome this disease for which doctors usually prescribe PPI (Proton Pump Inhibitor) drugs which are dangerous and can cause many other more serious problem when used in the long term.
You will hopefully discover that my therapy aka 'Joepathy' will help you within the hour after you have taken your first dose after a meal.
The remedies you will order are as follows:
Nat Phos 6x dose 3-4 tablets taken immediately after each of 2 meals
Arnica 30c in the Wet dose taken twice daily.
Please observe the following simple rules:
Do not eat large meals. Eat small meals but more often if you feel hungry. Do not drink more that a few sips of water after your meals. This is to prevent the further dilution of your gastric juice which can then reflux into your Esophagus which results in GERD.
It is important that you do not go to bed for at least 2 hours after dinner as food will take about this time to digest and it is best to stay awake and upright to enable your food to digest before going to bed.
No fatty food, alcohol, coffee, preserved meats like sausages, ham, bacon as they contain Saltpeter which will antidote the remedies listed immediately.
If you suffer from a stomach ache or you feel your stomach puffing up before a meal during the day between meals, this is usually due to hunger pains, caused by your gastric juices attacking the inner lining and the wall of your stomach. The simple remedy is to eat some food like a biscuit or a banana between meals to keep the gastric juice away from digesting the stomach wall which results in a stomach ache which in some cases can be acute.
You must drink at least 3 liters of liquids, preferably water daily and you must also exercise for at least half hour daily. It is important to sweat it out as this is all part of my therapy to overcome GERD.
The Wet dose of any Homeopathic remedy is made as follows:
Order the remedy in a 5ml Liquid Alcohol pack also referred to as Liquid Dilution in a bottle preferably with a dropper arrangement.
Get a 500ml bottle of Spring Water from the nearest supermarket.
Pour out about 3cm of water from the bottle to leave some airspace.
Insert 3 drops of the remedy into the bottle and shake the bottle hard before you sip a capfull of the bottle or a large teaspoonful which is the dose.
Shaking the bottle hard is homeopathic succussion and this shaking must be done every time before sipping a capful of the bottle twice daily.
It is understood that the patient will stop all other drugs which s/he may be taking for this ailment.
