C.Diff and Acid Reflux remedies

vanessavyMember

I have C.diff and a hiatal hernia. I haven't had any acid reflux problems since November but with C.diff you can't take PPIs for acid reflux. I am dying, keep coughing up what feels like straight acid. I read baking soda and apple cider vinegar and water can help for natural remedies but the apple cider has had no luck yet. Anyone else have tips? I was in the hospital to have an abscess drained/cleaned out and have been bad ever since :/ Assuming it is Morphine related perhaps? Ughhhh

Are you allowed Zantac? That's not a PPI, it's an H2-blocker.

I don't know to much about that. I have read it can cause a relapse or symptoms. I do know with cdiff trying to take any acid reducers while on vanco or other antibiotics for c.diff treatment can be a disaster. I was hoping for any natural remedies for immediate relief. I guess tomorrow I will make some tummeric tea. Helps build a heath wall in the esophagus . C.diff, large abscess in my butt I had drained yesterday, pain from it all and now this. I need a break.

have you tried aloe vera juice, or 6-10 slices of cucumber steeped in ice water(it's very refreshing and a natural acid reducer.)

Thanks! I will pick up some aloe vera. I have used that before since it helps with bladder flares. I usually put cucumber in water and shall do that again. Very refrehing

Aloe vera juice helped me several times, but it has to be natural juice (I make it from the leaves at home) Water with baking soda is also effective. Apple cider vinegar doesn't work for me, and I can't understand how it can help of acid reflux is a result of too acid already and you add even more acid.

Apple Cider Vinegar has been used forever for GERD and reflux. Google will pull up various articles and reasoning to it.

I mix a shot in a glass of water. I have been using Aloe Vera as well.
