PSA reflux and peppermint tea

in August 2014 Moms
I've had such terrible reflux that my throat was constantly sore and it was making me nauseas. Tums wasn't working and was making me sick so I started taking Zantac. Well Sunday I started drinking some peppermint tea for my sinuses and it seems to have really helped with the reflux. I've had some random burning but nothing too bad. Usually by 6ish everyday I was dying and needed a Zantac. I haven't taking one since Saturday night! The peppermint tea is the only thing I've done different. Just thought I'd let you all know for anyone else who is suffering. Try it! :)

    I had a terrible headache sunday and the yea cleared it up pretty quick. I knew it was good for nausea but never though to drink it for reflux. I had read that it can make reflux worse because it relaxes the muscles. Guess what I read was wrong!

    That's interesting because my doc told me to AVOID mint for reflux. Who knows though... bodies are weird.

    I read to avoid mint for reflux too but it's the only thing I've done different.

    Glad you're feeling better! I've had awful reflux since 6 weeks and have been taking the generic for Zantac. Just a little warning - I went about 5 days without taking it because I was feeling ok and then it came back AWFUL for several days. I've been taking it every day (if I forget I make sure it's at least every other day) since then to avoid another awful flair up.

    I had horrible reflux with my last pregnancy and just weathered it... This time I've used 1tbsp raw apple cider vinegar (bragg's) in a glass of water and it has made a world of difference! It's amazing!

    @Crunchycrysta‌ how often do you do the Braggs? I was planning on trying that.

    @schnookee I do it once a day. It's helped sooo much. It has so many benefits other than reflux too!
