Guest guest Posted May 20, 2002 Report Share Posted May 20, 2002 Hello, I have GERD (reflux) and was wondering what natural remedies help it. I was on zantac which only made it worse so I took myself off and am now taking green magma and getting chiropractic adjustments and things are definitely better but I was wondering if there is anything else out there that helps. I don't get heartburn per se, more of the feeling of food backing up into the esophogus.

Guest guest Posted May 20, 2002 Report Share Posted May 20, 2002 I forgot to mention that I am breastfeeding, can I take slippery elm while breastfeeding?

Guest guest Posted May 20, 2002 Report Share Posted May 20, 2002 I used to suffer with heartburn and a friend suggested I try slippery elm powder. I think its generally considered to be a digestive aid but I found it helped everything from the heartburn right through to regulating the bowel. Might be helpful. I was taking a half teaspoon twice daily mixed with juice to kill the taste (its not pleasant) but the results were amazing.

Guest guest Posted May 20, 2002 Report Share Posted May 20, 2002 ....And if you happen to have some of that glorious powder on hand, you can also use it for these things, all of which I've used it for myself. - Canker sores - Cold sores - Bad zits (I have had terrible acne in the past, and a little SEP mixed with water put on there overnight is a great way to dry up the zit without making it bigger and nastier first!) - Anti-scarring for skin problems, cuts/abrasions and stretch marks - Diaper rash (didn't do this myself as I have no kids, but I made my sis-in-law use it in my nephew, and she said it works great--and it's cheap, to boot.) Hey, if you're gonna have it around, you might as well use it. I buy slippery elm by the pound, and it never goes to waste. Is also great for digestion like you said, as well as feeding to sick people who can't keep anything down. --ST >I used to suffer with heartburn and a friend suggested >I try slippery elm powder.
