Hey Mom2One,

Welcome to the Forum.

From your symptoms, I suggest you consider that acid reflux may be causing back pain rather than back problems causing acid reflux.

It is quite a common symptom to experience (referred) back pain between the shoulder blades in acid reflux. Less common is neck pain but if you get a sore throat or even ear ache at the same time, it is indicative of acid in the throat and could be a cause of that too.

Best wishes,
Atty

I've experiences these issues for 35 years. Acid reflux has never caused referred pain to my back. It has cause pain to my jaw and shoulder. The concussion related trauma to the upper spine from T-2 to C-1 has been problematic off and on for those many years. I've had top doctors work on me. A Stanford GI Doc did extensive studies. Cardiac studies.

When I went to my cash payment chirpractor, he quickly resolved it.

Those of us who understand and have experience with tbi and concussions know that those outside our community lack that understanding.

That was the case for me. I use lemon juice and raw Apple Cider Vinegar as part of my regimen now but I wouldn't recommend that path for everyone and certainly not Stevegee. Personally I think Omeprazole contributes to more acid reflux problems than it solves, and there are dietary modifications that people can make that render its use unnecessary in a vast majority of cases.

Hi, I'm new here, and I haven't yet introduced myself, but I couldn't resist saying that for any one with stomach acid problems it is important to try and keep yourself more alkaline than acid. Around about pH 7.2 would be good.

I suffered from acid reflux quite often and I would fall out of bed unable to breathe, and making horrible noises. A naturopath friend of mine (who is also an M.D.) told me to drink a small glass of bicarb of soda every night before bed-time, and to take another with me just in case. I did that, and it soon worked. I haven't had a reflux attack in 2 years now,

I'm told that cancer loves an acid body, so I use bicarb freely. I highly recommend "Sodium Bicarbonate - Nature's Unique First Aid Remedy" by Dr. Mark Sircus ISBN 978-0-7570-0394-3. Well worth while for everyone to read.

Also, you can check your pH by using the pH strips you can buy from Amazon specially for the purpose.

Hope this helps someone.
