I haven't had acid reflux in about 6 months where i forgot to bring my 'wedge pillow' to Thailand. I've been unable to leave my room for most of this week due to it where sleeping on 2 pillows to make a wedge doesn't help.

Please... does anyone know where I can buy a wedge pillow from in BKK?

Anyone???

I'm sure someone can make one for you if you show them a foto.

The pharmacies at Victory Monument opposite the hospital will have one.

Took me most of the day but i found 1 guy that sells it on fourth floor at MDK Centre (Bangkok). He is the only place that sells only bed stuff. Cost me 3200 baht down from 3500 baht.

Now I can heal from these damn reflux!

Thought I would let you guys know for future reference. Nothing worst then waking up to heartburn!

Omeprazole is very cheap in pharmacies here....no prescription.

All drugs are basically bandages with side effects. I fixed my health up to beat reflux until the last 1-2 weeks I've been drinking with friends, eating junk food, smoking = BAD reflux! Back to healthy lifestyle for me but I find its impossible to heal without one of these wedge pillows.

Omeprazole, Nexus lowers the acid but it does more damage to your stomach then good! You need to increase acid! The secret is to take Apple Cider Vinegar. It stops reflux. Mix 1-2 table spoons with 200 ml of water. This information took me about a week of research to find online! I lost 15kg in 3 months.

Most doctors are salesmen for the drug companies these days. If you have to visit him for more of the same pills monthly, your doctor is milking you for your $$$.

Western food is extremely toxic to your health. Stick to Thai food is a better option.

I expected this type of reply given your nick on here.

I will give the cider vinegar a try....also same as you I get it when living life to excess!

Does putting the head end of the bed on bricks work ?

I get the same problem when I am dehydrated, drinking water solves the reflux...lots of water

MBK center.

4th floor?

I found this, due to their website it is on 5th floor.

A company named "Rvsleeping" (Rajdhevee Beddding).

One of them in MBK center, 5th floor, booth(?) B21-B22.

You are correct! I have his business card and that's the same information I have. It's on the 5th floor, not 4th!

All drugs are basically bandages with side effects.

Tums and Rolaids are nothing but calcium carbonate. One or two a day work wonders for me.

A glass of Eno before bed does wonders for my heartburn.

90baht.

Problem solved.

I suffer a bit myself but I find that I have minimal problems if i eat Thai food. Specifically spicy food. I'm not sure if he's correct but a friend reckons chillis are alkaline.

Your pseudoscience babble would be amusing if it wasn't so pathetically ignorant and dangerous. How exactly does a proton pump inhibitor used as per its dosing regimen cause this stomach damage? You seem to have described a new adverse reaction that is unknown and was not identified during clinical trials or its history on the market. Have you reported your new and important findings? You could save lives with your scientific brilliance. Who knows, maybe an uneducated ignorant and unqualified person such as yourself will make scientific history.

Your claim on apple cider vinegar is the repackaging of a folk remedy into an internet myth promoted by charlatans pushing their magical potions and "innovative" approaches. There are NO clinical studies published that support your claims.

It is important that anyone who has been prescribed a proton pump inhibitor, especially cardiac patients remain on the drug, particularly during their blood thinner treatment period. Failure to maintain dosing will most likely result in physical damage to the GI tract. Do not stop taking the medication without discussing with the attending cardiologist.

In respect to others who are self dosing, avoid the lifestyle habits that cause the GERD. Smoking and obesity are two major culprits. Proton pump inhibitors are valuable short term medications that allow the body to heal and recover. Long term use is discouraged as per the product monograph. Follow the product monograph and the drug is part of a successful treatment regimen.
