Hi Joe:  It may very well be that GERD runs in your family...and can  cause 
hystamine problems - one can even inherit a naturally narrow esophagus  which 
can exacerbate the condition...but people who've suffered from this  problem 
for years can't (and shouldn't) ignore it if it continues.  The end  result of 
all that stomach acid burning the esophagus can be (not trying to  scare 
anyone, just reporting what my ENT told me), esophageal  cancer...which is often 
fatal (the 'dire' consequences I mentioned  earlier).

For my part, I was told I had an ulcer ever since I was a kid, but was  only 
recently diagnosed with a huge hiatal hernia (one of the implicating  factors 
in GERD), when none of the other tests determined why I  couldn't catch my 
breath at either Denver, Spah..or the Grand Canyon  Bonfiglio seminar less than 
two weeks later.  
 
Warren and Jay are absolutely right..if one does a little reading up on  
organic Apple Cider Vinegar, it can be a lifesaver and a help for a lot of  
medical problems, including quelling the very real pain caused by acid reflux,  as 
well as possibly effecting a natural cure without resorting to prescription  
meds. 
 
It's absolutely not fun being 'scoped', so if one can heal the damage by  any 
means possible it's certainly worth a try, and ACV is a heckuva lot less  
expensive than the meds usually prescribed.  I'm a big believer too in  using 
natural products as often as possible and much prefer conservative  preventive 
measures over surgery.  
 
Those who add honey to the mixture to make ACV more palatable (the  taste 
isn't great) take the risk of triggering a hystamine reaction, so there  does 
seem to be some correlation in certain people to what you're talking about.  One 
size doesn't fit all, though. We're all physiologically different, so  what 
works for one might not for another.
 

It's an extremely painful way to awaken, quite  ruining the rest of the day 
dealing with the pain and discomfort...effectively  making singing and/or 
playing harmonica almost impossible. 
 
Sitting or sleeping as upright as possible goes a long way to preventing  
recurrences (for me and a few other folks I know), while allowing the  esophageal 
burning and pain to heal... so that's my solution.

hi, i am convinced that acid reflux is a form  of  hystamine reaction,,,sort 
of like when you scratch a bite it swells up...i have  these issues, and all 
my family it seems too, my advice is to ignore the initial  reaction, sort of 
like when you sneeze  over and over, you try to stop  yourself, or you get a 
scratchy throat,, and you take a gulp on some water,,  ignore it and try not to 
iriitate things and it will pass and if that doesn't  work  then, take an 
antihistimine and experience the side effects.....not  real advice just a thought

Apple Cider Vinegar will also  calm an inflamed gall bladder in 5 minutes and
regular use may keep you from  losing it.  Just thought you should know.  I'm
a big fan of natural  cures.
