Comment on Can you eat soap for acid reflux?

Don’t eat soap.
Just keep extra anti acid on hand. I have bottles in almost every room and in my car.
You may want to look into getting some preventative OTC pills like Omeprazole or Famotadine. If it’s constant reflux, you may want to schedule a visit with a doc, ulcers are a thing and don’t get better without meds.

My doctor got me off omeprazole because there’s a link between long term use (10 years+) and kidney failure. So I do prescription strength famotidine twice a day and just take tums as needed, then in the summer when I’m drinking a lot, I switch to omeprazole for a few months. It’s working pretty good so far, but I go through tums like crazy.
