[|Human|] I take Dexilant for acid reflux...nothing else was really working. A friend of mine tells me that those ppi s are like poison to your system and ruin the kidneys. He said they should not be taken consistently. So what can a person do to not have the acid reflux if you don t take the meds? Zantac was ok for awhile but then quit working for me. I do not eat the foods that they say are bad for acid reflux.
[|AI|]  Hi, Your symptoms are nonspecific, but these may be suggestive of gastritis, HERD or hiatal hernia, so you should do gastrostomy to evaluate it more accurately.  This is caused by irritation of stomach mucosa by certain food or medications, stress and smoking. It should be treated by changing lifestyle habits first and in severe cases medications or surgery may be required.  You need to eat smaller meals but frequently, avoid long sitting after meal and regulate your body mass. You need to avoid fried food, carbonated Chat Doctor.  Furthermore, you should eat more milk products, vegetables and boiled food. Also, certain antacid medications may be required by diagnosis should be established first. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
