A Warning For Anyone with Acid Reflux

[Nelson Montana]

Acid reflux medications such as Previcid (longterm usage) and Pepcid AC (for acute attacks) BOTH increase prolactin levels. Quite a bit.

I was using it noticed I wasn;'t my usual horny self. I was curious what the mechanism was. Lowered T? That didn't make sense. No blood flow to the penis? Nope. That old bastard prolactin. Muscle softening, gyno inducing dick killing prolactin.

Whatever you do, don't take that shit. One good thing -- it took only 3 days to wake up to wood again. : )

wow that is interesting however not surprising to me.

I think the key to acid reflux is fixing what is causing it to begin with .. a lot of times merely losing belly fat, cutting out dairy/red meat, and cutting off spicy food can cure it rather easily.

Spicy foods aggravate it but don't really cause it. BELLY FAT?!?!?! lol

belly fat causes acid from your stomach to be pushed up into the esophagus.

those with flat stomachs are less likely to ever experience acid reflux for that reason.. also believe it or not raising the back end of your bed so you sleep at a slight angle can help digestion.. I suggest that for anyone who has night reflux

Try some APPLE CIDER VINEGAR,,,it really helped my Acid Reflux.

that would be a natural cure for it. also drinking a lot of good quality water.. but the key is avoiding the foods/drinks which causes your reflux to begin with.. people have to be willing to exclude certain things from their diet.

It's pretty common to have acid reflux as a side effect when on Tren, so this is certainly something people should think about.

good lord people am I the only person left in America who doesn't take OTC or Rx drugs on a daily basis?

might be time for a new article on this subject .. these drugs have side effects, every single one of them

You aren't the only one Steve. I don't take any prescription meds. Just my non-prescription steroids...lol

let me re-phrase it .. am I the only person left in America who doesn't take a drug that isn't performance enhancing?

I take armour bro. Side effect is it makes me feel normal.

Oh and its 100% natural as opposed to synthetic T meds.

That was my joke bro. I don't have too much belly fat. : )

Does anyone remember the active ingredient of these from the top of their head?
If not, yes, I will Google them, just hoping to skip on the first few searches, since I will still have to find out what brand names they are sold under at EU/here.

I've been slowly but steadily eliminating every RX and OTC drugs that I don't absolutely need to taking out from my once vast daily drug regimen. Or switch to natural version, if just possible.

I am still going to pay the price for the self destructive lifestyle I lived for a long time. It's definitely no easy or quick change from pro-drug opiate addict who is lucky to even be alive, to this fitness freak which I've now turned into. Still it's worth every last struggle that I've had to go through, and even more.

but living in NYC you eat all that Italian and Chinese food, that's probably what it is.. the food there is amazing compared to down here in the south where people think olive garden is authentic lol

Im with ya Steve. If you have acid reflux so bad you need constant medication I would seriously look at intestinal pathogens. H. Pylori comes to mind for acid reflux issues.

Not to mention the additional systemic stress imposed by improperly digested foods due to lack of stomach acid causing excessive rotting in the gut, and then of course poor nutritional uptake as well.

There is no money in a healthy population, if there was insurance companies and doctors would get paid for making people well instead of recruiting another cash cow who lives with a monthly laundry list of prescriptions.

bingo ! at the end of my tren run last year i had reflux and bloating that i was diagnosed and treated for helicobacter pylori .
reflux was chronic and i was put on proton pump inhibitors to surpress acid production along with 2 strong anti biotics.

i felt worse on the meds but it cleared up around the same time the tren cleared my system.

Good post Nelson.

Im curious, how did they test you for H pylori?

Its actually a lot more common than people think and it can wreak havoc on the body in so many ways well beyond the stomach.

The prescription treatment for it I hear is pretty brutal, and whats sad is only about 70% effective. Ive talked to a few folks who went 2-3 rounds of pharmeceuticals and still couldnt get rid of it.

I wonder if somehow tren allows it to proliferate?

yes this is spot on. when I was younger I would have daily reflux.. my doc put me on one of those acid reducers and then said come back in 2 weeks... it just got rid of my acid in my stomach, which causes a domino effect like you said.

I decided to do it my own way.. flattened my stomach, cut out dairy and red meat, and raised my bed so I slept at an angle and like magic no more reflux.

I think there is a link between the heart strain tren puts on the organ and the acid reflux.

it may not be the same thing as straight acid reflux but more like something else that docs confuse with acid reflux. when I was on tren I would get heartburn if I ate anything spicy, typically I avoid spicy food because it makes my cum taste funny so my gf's insist I avoid lol

You mean "boyfriend" right?

 

[RickRock13]

I never get acid reflux, but I did get it for a short time during Tren, and then it went away without anything changing. I never took anything for it, because it was minor, and wasn't for very long

The initial test is a urea breath test, iirc high urea comes back as a strong indicator. ( the bug secretes it to protect itself from the stomach acid )

The follow-up is an endoscopy where by they send down a scope to take a look at the stomach and take a biopsy.

I bi-passed the breath test and was put straight onto the triple course of anti biotics and ppi's.

the symptoms had cleared by the time my endo scope was due , so i didnt proceed with that.

after researching natural remedies for h-pylori , i found that manuka honey and mastic gum tabs really help with these type of stomach issues.

There is a lot of conflicting info among docs on what tests are best etc, thats why I asked what they put you through.

Some docs have no problem putting folks on the meds if they even think pylori may be involved, others a lot more hesitant.

Matula tea has a money back guarantee to wipe out pylori and humaworm has also proven effective. Mastic gum and the honey also come up a lot os remedies but it can be a bitch to get rid of.

The body makes pylori antibodies to fight it off, some claim everyone has it and that its normal and fine as long as not out of control, but im of the school that any non helpful freeloaders are a bad thing. We are inundated with enough toxins, we dont need intestinal freeloaders adding to the mix.

Another thing most people dont realize is intestinal pathogens often cause some crazy mental side effects, depression, anxiety etc.

Yeah but I'll be driving down soon and be stuffing myself with ribs, shrimp and grits and buttermilk pie. That's can't hurt me, right? lol

Dairy is actually good for acid reflux I have it and drinking milk kills mine

okay so you have heartburn and you drink milk? so how exactly is milk good for it again?

it temporarily helps you but milk drank on a regular basis will cause more acid in the stomach which over time will cause chronic heartburn which it sounds like you have.

hope that makes sense. bottom line is if you are getting chronic heartburn then SOMETHING is wrong ..

a good remedy to try instead would be chewing gum because it pushes the acid back down when you swallow your saliva.

Im gonna have to try some of these suggestion. I tried the milk thing but as i aged i got lactose i tolerant so that sucked. My acid reflux is bad. Bad to the point where i felt like my throat was being eaten up by the acid. I ate tums like it was candy and that was a temp fix. I would prefer a more natural cure which im sure there is. Gotta stop being lazy and research. Perhaps that what drug companies rely on peoples laziness

Thats exactly what they rely on along with the fact that doctors arent trained in nutrition and many honestly believe supplementation isnt needed.

is it bad 24/7? you could have a hiatal hernia which is pushing the acid up.

if its bad certain parts of the day then you are eating/drinking something consistently that is killing you. heartburn that is chronic will eat away at your esophagus so I wouldn't play around with it for much longer

 

[Nelson Montana]

Marshmellow (the herb, not the candy) and Slippery elm helps coat the stomach lining to relieve the pain and over time, allows the irritation cause the reflux to heal. It's the best way to go.

Mostly in the evening. Thats why i started taking prilosec. Worked great for me but if it has unwanted side effects is it really that helpful. I dont think i have damage as it wasnt for an extended period of time.

watch what you are eating for dinner and raise your bed up so you are at an angle

 

[Lefty78]

Lay off the coffee too if you drink much of it?! I know your diet is spot on but many things contribute to reflux. There are a lot of things that temporarily sooth it. Also, the biggest thing is do not eat anywhere within 2-3 hours of going to bed.
