marijuana and acid reflux?

ok so i've always had a really bad problem with acid reflux and having too much acid in my stomach in general. About a year ago, when i started smoking regularly, my stomach problems really calmed down. I barely had any problems. About five or 6 days ago, I ran out of weed and decided it was a good time to go on a break for a little while. Since then, My stomach has really been bothering me and I've been getting acid reflux really bad. I never even thought about it until today, but is the pot really helping me with my stomach problems?

Probably so, I wouldn't doubt it. It seemed to help me with a hell of alot of problems. I swear I noticed better changes in some parts of me but as for my lungs...well...they are ok, the only ones really getting damaged though. I sometimes really seriously think about just making my self some THC-capsules and be happy lol.

what are the symptons of acid reflux?

I used to have really bad acid reflux, up to a month ago, and then it just vanished. I used to have to eat a pill after any little bit of grub to try and stop it. It's probably from where i didnt chew my food as a kid... and still dont really lol, but yeah, it just vanished, but i dont think it was the weed cos i've been smoking it for so long and still had it. Maybe it does help you, it helps me with mind blowing headaches [It's crazy bad] my dodgy cartilige in me knee and my back problems [broke it this year [minor]]

But yeah, it can help with loads of things. If thats the only thing you've changed, give it a week, and then start smoking agian. Just try it. See what happens? It might go again, if so you can almost be sure it's the weed. It's a great thing,

Yeah i know it definitely helps with my headaches. I get some really bad migraines. I had a lot of problems with my eyes when i was a kid and had surgery on them. Now, I get really bad migraines because of them. I also have some back pains from when i played hockey for about 9 years. They always go away when i smoke.

I get migranes, i just never call them that lol. My head aches get so bad it's nearly crippling, but as long as i smoke every couple of hours it keeps em away, but the downside is i smoke stupid amounts, im lucky cos i can afford it, but if i ever culdnt get any i'd be in agony from everything.

I'd hate to think what life would be like with my back my knee and my headaches... probably not much of a life.

I also had a problem with my eyes, i went for a routing eye thingy when i was like 8 or 10 i cant remember and they reffered me to the hospital as an out patient, and it turn out my left optic nerve was swollen, well that what they thought but like 6 months later they decided it was just protien floating around, then they decided it might be a bit of both. So i was having check ups' ever few months untill i was 15 then they said ok, lets just leave it cos it never gave me any real jip.. but i had to have a scan for it and another eye thingy, i got injected with this dye so they could see it and i was pissing brown dye for the rest of the day... and the bloody syringe... it was masive... the bastards.

Anyway man, hope you get better soon!
