i've just joined. my symptoms are tightness in the chest,

neauseated, some times headaches, neck is aching, funny taste in my

mouth so the doc says i have acid reflux. Then at times when i

swallow it hurts but i've never felt like what do you call?? up

chuck??excuse me for might be using the wrong word. I've enver felt

anything backing up in my throat. It's mostly in my chest, metalic

tast in mouth, and neck hurts. so of course i start to nauseated and

i've even literally had to may myself throw up to feel better. it's

to the point i'm afraid to eat and then want to throw up because i

feel terrible. i've even lost about 10 pounds within the pat 3

months. he gave me zantac but that didn't work for me. now i've

been taking prilosec which he suggest i take. but there's still some

days i still feel terrible. it's not just when i eat either. so i'm

looking for other healthier remedies to help. I wonder if there's

anyone who has experience drinking kukicha tea, a japanese tea for

digestive system. I've been reading that's it's good to drink for

acid reflux. I know one thing is that i do smoke and that's probably

what is causing most of the acid reflux. I've never taken any test

for diagnosing but just doc hearing how i feel that's what he says i

have. i've also started to drink ginger tea by grating fresh

ginger. this seems to help a bit. but i'm really looking for

something that will not just stop the symptoms but to cure it so i

won't have this anymore. It's really frustrating.

what remedies do you recommend. I really feel terrible most of the

time not just when i eat.

and if anyone has experience drinking kukicha tea please reply.

thank you.
