But the medication has been previously linked to higher risk of stroke, broken bones and kidney disease. The American research team, whose findings were published in the journal Neurology, say the study does not prove that acid reflux drugs cause dementia - it only shows an association.

Study author vascular neurologist Professor Kamakshi Lakshminarayan said: “Proton pump inhibitors are a useful tool to help control acid reflux, however long-term use has been linked in previous studies to a higher risk of stroke, bone fractures and chronic kidney disease. Still, some people take these drugs regularly, so we examined if they are linked to a higher risk of dementia.

A tablespoon of apple cider vinegar with "the mother" in a big glass of water every morning will cure that acid reflux. Much healthier.

Been there, done that, don't work for me, but I do have a hiatal hernia.

But i'm sure it works for some people.

Using a Proton pump inhibitor every other day, works for me.

i use it periodically, just started using it for a short while because I'm taking various meds after a surgery and gives some protection to the stomach lining

Understood. Sure that hiatal hernia is a medical condition.

I sometimes get acid reflux, depending on the wine I drink so an Omeprazole sorts it out.

Is using Apple Cider Vinegar which is acid, to treat reflux acid??? Would lemon juice not work the same?

I bought Coconut Cider Vinegar in Lotus'.................Cider is made from apples.

No on the lemon juice. Coconut Cider Vinegar also, not the same.

The regular routine of tablespoon of ACV in a very large glass of water first thing in the morning changes the acidic makeup in your stomach and shuts down the acid reflux.

It definitely is not an instant cure like a chemical pill, just a different way of treating the condition.

Unfortunatly my reflux happens at night, so a glass of ACV in the morning will do no good. Milk of Magnesia is good as anything.

Same for my older brother, he said it made him have to sit up at night. But after the ACV morning routine in just three days he said it was all gone. Like me, he now does it everyday.

"so a glass of ACV in the morning will do no good" It will if you make it a routine.

Would it not be better to use the ACV later in the day?

Would Coconut Cider Vinegar, with Mother, be as effective, and it is much cheaper.

No, as 1st thing in the morning your stomach is generally emptier than any other time of day. Benefits are better. Throw it down on top of a gut full of breakfast and lunch it'll have no effect.

I used to have reflux but have managed to get it under control so reduced my intake of pills but it could return any time, my pillows were high but now flatter,I also had painfull asophogitus very bad in The past but is also under control
