Re: [Everything doTERRA] regarding acid refulx

It DOES help during the day.  I use 2 drops of the Digestive Blend.  I have also used the gel caps but I have found that sometimes I throw up after the Digestive blend gel caps (which I think is peculiar to me as I have not heard of other people doing this…).  Believe it or not, the TerraZyme is helpful, too.  My up-line turned me on to those when they worked for her stomach issues.  Something else that worked for me…I use the AromaTouch Blend on my stomach for pain, too. It smells better and it is anti-inflammatory.  My problem is not just indigestion or reflux, it has to do with inflammation, too.  (And I have not given up EVERYTHING I was asked to give up or I would be eating nothing but boiled chicken and rice!)  One more thought…for some reason milk really upsets my stomach.  How do you do with it? (Cheese is okay if I don't go overboard, but milk causes me to have some pretty severe pain, so that is one item I avoid like crazy).

Thx Judith,

              I know all those things are  bad for heartburn and reflux and of course, these  are all the things I love and eat . My DR said  that when I am ready to stop the pain I will eat better but know I need to do something to help heal or quit the burn now LOL. I do put it on my feet at night but will do it during the day now too until can afford the pills. Does it help you to do it during the day and how often do I need to reapply? Thanks so much for the info and take care now :)

Dear Angel Dream 4ever,

Acid reflux is made worse by certain foods: chocolate (relaxes lower esophageal sphincter), caffeine (ditto), coffee and tea, spicy foods, acidic foods (think tomatoes), food that cause one to belch (bell peppers, onions, beans, etc.), peppermint candy, and by drinking carbonated beverages (stretches the stomach).  If you cannot avoid these foods altogether, at least try to reduce/limit your intake.  By the way, peppermint essential oil, while good for digestive issues, seems to make my stomach burn if taken orally.

I don't much care for the smell of DigestZen, either, but putting it on my foot and covering it with a sock seems to help.

Hope this helps,
Judith
