The thing is though, Ive seriously tried everything from ACV,L-glutamine to every single RX they could hand me...they work for about a week then wham its worse and Im told take more...Ive had GERD since 2003. I turn bright red,vomit like crazy,cant breath...this happens when I drink WATER!!! so, they finally removed my gallbladder in Oct 2010 because I had huge gallstones guess what still have lovely ole GERD. It REALLY screws with your life, like I cant move without hurting....then somehow I ended up with IBS I eat really well, really good balence, plenty of fiber....changed my diet 1000% nothing helps.......I take probiotics everyday drink the probiotic yogurt etc etc so sometimes it doesnt matter what you do your still SOL
