Acid reflux problem for 34 yr old female
Respected Dr.Joe De Livera,Sir I am a 34 yr old female, mother of 2 kids suffering from acid reflux for past 4 months. I am now taking Illaprazole 10 mg for last 3 weeks. I have my endoscopy done...every thing came normal except the doctor said the sphincter valve is relaxed. I was having exteme hurtburn 3-4 hours after breakfast, lunch when my stomach becomes little empty. Now after taking medicine my heartburn has reduced but there is a pain and burning sensation on my throat all the time. i don't want to continue with allopathic medicine because of it's side effects. I have huge trust in your medicine . Please help me solve my problem as I am very much depressed and anxious.

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
It is very likely that you suffer from Hyperacidity or Gastritis, aka GERD (Gastro Esophagal Reflux Disease) and I shall copy my default therapy that has helped hundreds of patients to overcome this disease for which doctors usually prescribe PPI (Proton Pump Inhibitor) drugs which are dangerous and can cause many other more serious problem when used in the long term.
You will hopefully discover that my therapy aka 'Joepathy' will help you within 24 hours after you have taken your first dose after a meal.
The remedies you will order are as follows:
Nat Phos 6x dose 3-4 tablets taken immediately after each of 2 meals.
This remedy accelerates the passage of food down the gut and prevents the formation of acid which would otherwise reflux causing GERD.
Arnica 30c in the Wet dose taken twice daily.
This remedy works to repair the damaged Esophagus which has metastasised to resemble the gut to deal with the Hcl refluxed into it causing severe distress. Arnica works with the Nat Phos to speedily cure the problem.
You can also take a PROBIOTIC like Bifilac daily. A Probiotic will help by changing the balance of the Bacteria in the gut and will contribute to your cure and help to ensure that your problem does not recur. After your problem with GERD is stabilised you can take the Arnica in the Wet dose nightly before bed and the Probiotic daily for life. You do not need to take Nat Phos daily but you will keep a stock to be used whenever you feel uncomfortable after a meal when you will take 2-3 tablets as necessary.
Please observe the following simple rules:
Do not eat large meals. Eat small meals but more often if you feel hungry. Do not drink more that a few sips of water after your meals. This is to prevent the further dilution of your gastric juice which can then reflux into your Esophagus which results in GERD.
It is important that you do not go to bed for at least 2 hours after dinner as food will take about this time to digest and it is best to stay awake and upright to enable your food to digest before going to bed.
No fatty food, alcohol, coffee, preserved meats like sausages, ham, bacon as they contain Saltpeter which will antidote the remedies listed immediately.
If you suffer from a stomach ache or you feel your stomach puffing up before a meal during the day between meals, this is usually due to hunger pains, caused by your gastric juices attacking the inner lining and the wall of your stomach. The simple remedy is to eat some food like a biscuit or a banana between meals to keep the gastric juice away from digesting the stomach wall which results in a stomach ache which in some cases can be acute.
You must drink at least 3 liters of liquids, preferably water daily and you must also exercise for at least half hour daily. It is important to sweat it out as this is all part of my therapy to overcome GERD.
The Wet dose of any Homeopathic remedy is made as follows:
Order the remedy in a 5ml Liquid Alcohol pack also referred to as Liquid Dilution in a bottle preferably with a dropper arrangement.
Get a 500ml bottle of Spring Water from the nearest supermarket.
Pour out about 3cm of water from the bottle to leave some airspace.
Insert 3 drops of the remedy into the bottle and shake the bottle hard before you sip a capfull of the bottle or a large teaspoonful which is the dose.
Shaking the bottle hard is homeopathic succussion and this shaking must be done every time before sipping a capful of the bottle twice daily.
It is understood that the patient will stop all other drugs which s/he may be taking for this ailment.
Do not use Coffee, Cola beverages, preserved foods like sausages, ham and bacon as they contain Saltpeter.

I am now taking Nat phos 6X for last 3 months. 4 pallets 2 times per day as you prescribed. My acidity intencity has reduced considerably.....I can say upto 50% . I am also taking ARS ALB 200 , 30 mins after meal which my local dr prescribed. But I am still getting throat burning, roughness and itching on my throat. also getting mild heartburns......My last endoscopy Done 3 days ago shows a small Hiatal hernia ...Which I am now worried about. Is it the cause of my acid reflux?
From last one month I am also having excessive burping,
mild stomach pains all over, loose stools..and little cramps. I also had little nausea when it started. My dr did ultrasound..all came fine. Now he is telling this is IBS.
I didn't manage to get arnica 30c anywhere. I searched in Kolkata and bangalore. I am getting ARNICA 30. Are they same?
Sir thank you in advance for reading my post with patience.I have a huge faith in homeopathy and u. Sir pls help me with my situation ...as I am depressed and sad.

You must make up your mind about whose therapy you wish to follow. You cannot consult your local doctor as his therapy CANNOT replace mine. My therapy aka 'Joepathy' has worked for many thousands of patients suffering from GERD.
If you had reported your response to me 3 months ago, I would have prescribed Nux Vomica 30c which you will take in the Wet dose twice daily.
The other symptoms you describe --- burning in the throat, heartburn, burping,
mild stomach pains all over, loose stools..and little cramps. It is very likely that they are caused by the Ars Alb.
STOP the Ars Alb 200 which is NOT recommended for use twice daily as you seem to be doing today. Ars Alb is:
ARSENICUM ALBUM
Arsenious Acid-Arsenic Trioxide
You must know that Arsenic is a deadly POISON and is only used in the highly potentized state in Homeopathy. It is NOT for daily use.
I note that you have NOT taken the Arnica 30c and this is the root cause of your problem today. I am copying my statement as contained in my prescription above on Arnica:
'Arnica 30c in the Wet dose taken twice daily.
This remedy works to repair the damaged Esophagus which has metastasised to resemble the gut to deal with the Hcl refluxed into it causing severe distress. Arnica works with the Nat Phos to speedily cure the problem. '
You have instead gone to the extent of having an Endoscopy done with an US Scan and all to no purpose. Your doctor has reported a Hiatal Hernia as he believed that he can wean you away from the Homeopathy and will most likely give you the dangerous PPI drugs like Nexium, Zantac etc which will make your problem worse.
You stated that
'I didn't manage to get arnica 30c anywhere. I searched in Kolkata and bangalore. I am getting ARNICA 30. Are they same?'
They are the SAME
Arnica 30c = Arnica 30.
Your Pharmacy should have informed you about this fact.
Please follow my instructions to take both Arnica 30c and Nux Vomica 30c in the Wet dose twice daily and as soon as you find relief you will STOP the Nux Vomica 30c but you will continue with the Arnica 30c FOR LIFE. You will take the Nat Phos 6x only when you feel that you need this remedy. Leave half hour between remedies and report your response in 48 hours.

Respected Dr.Joe,
Hope you are doing well.
As per your last post, I am continuing wet dose medicine of Nux Vomica 30 and Arnica 30.
As I mentioned that I took arsenic alb 200 for last 3 months (for Acid reflux GERD)
I did not have the idea that homeopathic medicine can have such serious side effects.
I have a question about the wet dose.
Is the Nux Vomica wet dose is sufficient as antidote to the effect of Arsenic Alba?
Till now, I am still having stomach pain and now with back pain (flowing down towards my feet). I am also having chest pain when this stomach pain moves upwards.
I am very much worried about this pain. And, I am having too much flatulence also (mostly burping)
Please suggest what shall I do?

Please confirm that you have NOT stopped taking the Nat Phos 6x after you started the Nux Vomica and the Arnica.
Also confirm that you have read and are following the instructions I gave you in my first prescription which I shall repeat below:
Please observe the following simple rules:
Do not eat large meals. Eat small meals but more often if you feel hungry. Do not drink more that a few sips of water after your meals. This is to prevent the further dilution of your gastric juice which can then reflux into your Esophagus which results in GERD.
It is important that you do not go to bed for at least 2 hours after dinner as food will take about this time to digest and it is best to stay awake and upright to enable your food to digest before going to bed.
No fatty food, alcohol, coffee, preserved meats like sausages, ham, bacon as they contain Saltpeter which will antidote the remedies listed immediately.

Has your condition which you quantified at 50% improvement some time ago, continued to improve?
You must understand that unless you cooperate by following the simple instructions I have detailed above in terms of your diet, there is no possibility of any drug or remedy helping you. Chronic GERD is a very difficult problem to CURE and I have observed that even after the patient is free of the normal symptoms of Heartburn and feeling full after a heavy meal, it is often necessary to use Nat Phos to help the digestion especially as one grows older.
Remember than the most important therapy is EXERCISE on a daily basis.

I quote from your first post:
'I was having exteme hurtburn 3-4 hours after breakfast, lunch when my stomach becomes little empty.'
Please pay special attention to the following:
