I doubt if a fist full of almonds will stop acid reflux in the case of Hiatus Hernia, I did take apple cider vinegar after my meals to close shut the LES, I thought it was working buet as I said after maybe 3 to 3 weeks ha to go back on the drug as my esophagus was damaged.
I wonder if there are any supplements, foods that can tighten the LES or/and heal this hiatus hernia?

I called the company and told them. My husband always says disease begins in the gut.

Onother thing is that many people that experience heartburn, actually got not enough acidity/stomach acid. Stomach acid is a part of immune system; acidic condtions protect from infections of pathogens. Low acidity cause perfect conditions for h.pylori overgrowth which doesn’t like acid envinonment, and accompanying stomach inflammation. Low acidity also cause problems with digesting food and to compensate, acid is secreted for longer periods of time.
Betaine Hcl which contains Hydrochloric acid is used as supplement for easing digestion and protection from infections during exotic travels. Betaine Hcl might be better solution than PPIs for many people.
