Cured my acid reflux accidentally

Posting about this in case it might help someone else. I accidentally seem to have cured my acid reflux that has bugged me at night for several years. It's been two weeks now, and I haven't needed a single antacid tablet at night, even when I've eaten meals that aggravate it.

I'm not on any diets and I've lost no weight. The only change in my routine, which is going to sound like an advertisement, is that I started eating a particular brand of muesli that contains a probiotic in the mornings, and I replaced green peas in meals with broccoli.

The switch to broccoli was to see if that helped. But it's such a small change and doesn't apply to all meals. It's hard to believe that it did away with my acid reflux from eating pizza which has neither vegetable on it.

More likely, either the oats or the probiotic in the natural muesli have actually had an effect. I bought it because I liked the ingredients, not to help with acid reflux. I dismissed the claims of the probiotic and prebiotics in the muesli helping digestion as marketing spin. Go me!

So two weeks later, I can eat pizza without any reflux issues. At first I thought maybe it was just gone for a night or two, as unusual as that was. After two weeks of no tablets at night, it's clear something really has changed.

Maybe it was the oats (which are meant to help with acid reflux), or maybe it' the probiotic having changed my gut bacteria for the better.

There are several kinds of acid reflux, and one is caused by bad bacteria (we all have bacteria in our gut, and I won't go into detail but you can google this easily). Some acid reflux can be cured, apparently, by changing that bacterial balance to a healthy one, and that's what this probiotic supports, though it's marketed as 'improving digestion', not as stopping acid reflux.

For anyone interested, the probiotic in the muesli is GanedenBC30. You can look it up to see the manufacturer's claims and the 25 scientific papers backing those up. (I didn't take it as a pill, so I can't comment on that experience.)

This isn't medical advice, but an anecdote. My experience is only that I'm one person trying to explain why the acid reflux that woke me at night for several years has now suddenly gone away with no other lifestyle changes.

Even if I'm right that this has helped me, it won't work for everyone, because we all have different gut bacteria AND there are several different kinds of acid reflux. But, i'm putting it out there in case it might help someone else find relief.

Holden Torana GTR-X, 1970. Created by Holden's Fisherman’s Bend design and engineering department based on the LC Torana with a 160hp triple carburettor version of Holden's 186ci "Red" straight six engine. They used Opel-sourced 4 speed manual gearboxes and differentials. Three prototypes were made with ladder frame chassis (similar in concept to the Chevrolet Corvette) and fibreglass bodywork. The project was meant for series production, brochures were printed (see above) and the car was displayed at the Melbourne Motor Show but the programme was cancelled before production began. One of the prototypes was destroyed in testing, the white car above is in a museum and the 3rd (unfinished) car in in the hands of a collector

Crop Domestication

Humans have been selectively breeding and modifying crops for centuries, from apples to corn, shits wild. It creates the illusion of a plentiful planet, when in reality humans have, over thousands of years, dramatically altered the appearance and heartiness of these crops.

Now this could have an interesting effect in a haso universe, with aliens treating earth as a deathworld because of its wildlife and environment, but entirely disregard the fact that some native plants are hostile for the fact that we have such convenient crop foods!

No, we made those. Everything hates us.

Human: you all seem so fascinated by our wildlife, it's like you didn't even notice the murder plants!

Alien: well it seemed well balanced by the planet's generous flora

Human:

Alien: What??!

Human: did you think corn was naturally that big??????

Alien: fuck's that mean?
