Q: I have really BAD acid reflux, sometimes to the point where it's unbearable, and it hurts my throat so bad i can't even breathe. My question is how can I treat this? I've already tried just every OTC medication out there, including the popular "Tums" and "Rolaids" -- tried it all. I CAN'T go to a DOCTOR because my parents don't understand.
And some things to help you out:
*I rarely ever eat spicy foods - anything that triggers stomach acids to go up the digestive tract.
*It occurs anytime, anywhere, no matter how I stand, sit or lay. It worsens when I exercise.
*Even not eating at all triggers it, drinking lots of water or beverages that do not contain acids still trigger it.
So what should I do, and how can I treat this? And if you REALLY think I need a Doctor (which I'm sure I do), how can I persuade my parents into taking me?
But it would still be awesome to read advice on treatment at home and certain limitations or methods -- anything at all would be great.
Thanks in advance!
