I don't see how this is legal, but people on Tik Tok peddling miracle "medicine" are becoming more common every day. No FDA approval, no research. Just their marketing hype and false promises. This one, lady is showing some sort of probiotic and claiming it can help people suffering from severe acid reflux and gastrointestinal reflux disease or GERD, replacing medicine that has been tested for decades.
For some folks, like myself, it was admitting to myself that I needed to change my diet and eating habits, and I haven't had issues with acid reflux for years.
On the other hand, lots of folks have issues with this stuff no matter their eating habits and it is horrific to live with. As OP pointed out, things like GERD affect a lot of people.
That these people would take advantage of people in that situation is so infuriating.
I was hoping that my heartburn would go away after I quit drinking a couple of years ago, but instead, it got worse. Honestly, that it's probably because I started to form an actual diet and my stomach didn't know what the fuck to do.
Sigh. I am hoping this current mega-cycle of proton-pump inhibitors helps. It's been a fairly high dose for about quadruple the normal length of time, so it might actually stick this time.
The irritation caused by heartburn increases heartburn. So during your proton-pump inhibitor cycle, you still get heartburn, treat it with baking soda dissolved in warm for instant relief
For anyone else reading, baking soda can save you hundreds of dollars on regular antacids. One you get past the taste and train your body it brings relief, it'll be tasting like champagne soon enough.
LPT: Baking soda and water can burn your mouth and lips after a time as well, so keep it fairly dilute. More is sometimes needed, but not always better.
Second LPT: Get a second small box of baking soda for heartburn use and keep it sealed in a Ziploc or something. It will absorb all kinds of stuff out of the air and end up tasting really bad. (Name-brand baking sodas tend to taste a little less fishy as well, but not by much.)
Sorry, I know more about baking soda now than I care to admit. It's really a super interesting chemical, even in its simplicity.
It's also heavily used in treating and keeping proper pH balance the water in swimming pools, hot tubs and various other types of aquatic entertainment. I used to have to lug 50 lb bags of it to the chemical shed.
