A contributing factor to getting off a PPI addiction
I had acid reflux so bad I could not list all the problems it caused. I took Nexium for about a year until it wasn’t enough and I went to 2 per day for several more years (and continued having symptoms of chronic gas and chronic nausea). My LES was (might still be) pretty much wide open and I was recommended for surgery but I felt it was crazy to have surgery when no Doctor could tell me what was causing the acid reflux in the first place! Acid reflux was making my life miserable. I sought out an Integrative Doctor and have taken several steps to rid myself of the reflux: sleeping on a wedge pillow, loosing weight, taking Yoga and exercising several times/wk, being tested for specific food allergies and avoiding certain foods, having genetic testing, changing my diet to limit processed foods and increase whole, organic foods, taking high level probiotics (50 – 80 billion) & taking several supplements to heal my intestines. I was also tested for heavy metals and underwent 24 IV chelation treatments (not for the faint of heart) because I had high levels of Lead and Mercury (among others) due to a genetic condition that keeps my body from being able to rid itself of toxins. I never could bring myself to do the GAPS diet but did add homemade bone broths and fermented vegetables to my diet. I tried the Bragg’s Apple Cider Vinegar treatment and it worked for about a month, then I had to quit because it was making my teeth more sensitive (had to have about 8 of them veneered because the acid from the reflux ate the enamel off). Keep in mind the above changes occurred over a period of almost 2 years. But, while all of the things I listed above helped relieve my symptoms, I never could get off the Nexium.The real irony is that Nexium keeps your body from absorbing B12 and B12 helps you rid your body of toxins. So the Nexium was like putting a band aid on a gaping wound. It was making everything worse for me.So, now to the review: Once I added this to my diet, I took if for a couple of months and was able to get down to 1 Nexium. I then took it for a couple of months and tried to come off the second Nexium. Just like when I took the ACV, it worked for about a month then my symptoms got worse. I called the Doctor to got back to 2 Nexium and (Thank God!) the prescription got hung up because insurance does not want to fill a 2/day prescription (runs around $1000). I had to just survive on OTC PPI’s, DGL Licorice tablets and Gaviscon. I had one miserable week, then I noticed I started feeling better. I slowly weaned myself off those and now I am medication free (as far as acid reflux goes). I, honestly, can hardly believe it. I no longer have any acid reflux symptoms and have been medicine free for several months. The best part is that once I quit the Nexium my body became “regular” again. Nexium was adding to an already severe case of chronic constipation.I am not saying this product alone will rid you of your symptoms, but I can tell you that I literally tried everything and did not see real results until I used this product. I could probably write a book from all the information I have gathered from books & websites (and trial and error!) in my search to heal myself. I recommend, if anyone is plagued by the problems I have described, that you first find a Doctor that looks for the ROOT CAUSE of your problems and considers your diet part of your treatment. Then, be willing to spend the time and money that it takes to fully recover. Only a total lifestyle/mindset change helped me get better. And, believe me, I got lots of flak from family and friends when I started making these changes. But now they all are coming to me for advice because they see the profound change in my health.GOOD LUCK!Update: April 2015Still Nexium free!!! After this review, I continued to struggle with occasional constipation and nausea (nothing on the level of before) so I decided to try going Gluten Free. It appeared to be at the root of my troubles. The constipation almost ended over night and I am rarely nauseous. I don’t know if it is the gluten or the types of food that are made from wheat, and I really don’t care! I do think it is important to not just replace these foods with GF substitutes on a broad scale (many GF processed foods have a higher glycemic index). The occasional baked good is OK, but eating whole foods is so much better. Processed food is processed food, don’t let the marketers fool you by saying things are healthy just because they used some healthy ingredients like quinoa, lentil, black bean, etc. If the label has more than 3 – 5 ingredients, just avoid it. I have “fallen off the wagon” on exercise a time or two and find that when I get back into working out 4 or 5 times a week, I just feel better and have more energy. I no longer take tons of supplements. I still take a high dose probiotic and I take digestive enzymes with meals. Other than that, I take OTC Methyl Guard Plus for my genetic condition (2 codes on the MTHFR gene) and zyrtec for allergies. However, my allergies are much less than they have ever been and I think it is probably because my intestines are healing. I hesitate to even share this, because it is just so weird, but another thing I have done that (to my surprise) makes me feel much better, is (brace yourself) weekly coffee enemas. It is something I had read about and avoided for years until my doctor encouraged me and I am glad I gave it a try. It is supposed to help detoxify your liver and mine had been overloaded due to my genetic deficiencies. I think they are like Drano for the intestines. I really feel more comfortable and energized on the day I do them. Hope the update helps.

Awesome Zinc for the Gut, etc…
Zero irritation and very healing, takes a few days before it kicks in but it works when other zinc supplements can’t touch it for what it does for your gut

Zinc-L-carnosine
Iāve been taking zinc-L-carnosine for 1 month now and I havenāt taken my RX Pantoprazole 40mg tabs all month. Maybe I shouldāve weaned myself off instead of just stopping, but it is what it is. I had some bad days to start with, but now I only have heartburn a few times a day and it goes away pretty quick. Iām gonna continue taking this for another month and see what happens. Hopefully I will say continued improvement.

AMAZING. Doctors should be prescribing this instead of PPIs and H2 Blocker. UPDATED-12 months of Use, Foods to eat and Avoid
I ripped up my stomach on caffeine pills during one semester as an engineering student, and I developed severe gastritis. I was nauseous all day long, facing sharp painful cramps, it was absolutely incapacitating. I’ve been on PPIs and H2 Blockers, but the PPIs only made it worse and the H2 blockers didn;t do enough.This compound has been a gift from God, and I have not felt this good in a year. It will not solve any underlying problems but it does wonders for the stomach lining.In addition to avoiding foods that irritate your stomach, take 1 of these capsules with every meal (3 capsules a day total). I felt a difference within a week and after doing this for a month I’m well on the road to recovery. I still cant have foods containing caffeine, but I no longer am nauseous or in pain.I’m on my third bottle, feel free to ask questions. I know how much of a struggle stomach issues can be.UPDATE: I’m proud to say that after being on a PPI (Prilosec) or H2 Blocker at some point for the last 15 months, I have finally been able to get off of both them! It’s a long process, and I’ve been taking 2-5 of these a day for the last year. I HIGHLY recommend this product, it helped me tremendously.UPDATE 2 (6/20/16): I have been blessed so much to be able to stop taking these. After 2-5 per day for about 20 months, I no longer need them. I’m continuing a slow recovery and adding back foods into my diet that used to cause me pain.This product was a key part in aiding the healing of my gastritis. I still endorse it – I’ve bought probably 15+ bottles over those 20 months and I would do it again.Here are my gastritis BLACKLIST (foods to avoid) and GOODLIST (foods that are safe and gentle for me). This is a copy and paste from my food journal. Your mileage may vary, so always try foods from my GOODLIST cautiously.THEBLACKLIST:Caffeine (patient zero)Theaninecough dropsstrong mintstomato sauceketchupalcoholcajun seasoninghot sauce (Frankās mild)hummusall chocolate, but especially dark chocolatemaybe carribean jerk marinadeMinute Brown Rice (maybe too much fiber, Uncle Bens Instant Brown is okay, could be because Minute is Precooked rice)Bushās Country Style Baked Beans ( am okay with KC Masterpiece Applewood Smoked Bacon though)StressmustardVinegar (from cole slaw specifically)fake bagged popcorn for some unknown reasonspicklesHydrogen Peroxide from Crest Supreme WhiteStrips (60 min duration, VERY little swallowing, made sure of it, itās hard to get it all out of your mouthVery Fatty and Greasy Pulled Pork ( from Uncle Buckās BBQ)green peppersgreasy alfredo sauce from pizza hutLiterally any large super fatty mealSourdough pretzelsCountry Crock Buttery spreadFatty MeatsApple juicehoney coated peanutsTHE GOODLIST:pita chipswhite rice (old bens)pasta with olive oilbaked potatoeseggsbreadnutspeanut butterpretzelsmilkfish (lean fish like flounder, salmon, snapper, or tilapia)beefyuca / casavaground turkeycanola oil ( for cooking, in place of butter/margarine)
