I went to the doctor yesterday and got a diagnosis of Gastric reflux. I have an endoscopy scheduled in a couple of weeks.
I'll say this doesn't surprise me as I have had trouble with my stomach for years. I also have a hiatal hernia that I developed during my first pregnancy. My stomach is always my weakest link. But sometimes I will go for years and not have any problems with it. It does seem to be totally related to emotional issues.
I have a book about intuition in the body and I fit the stomach profile perfectly so I know that this is a big part of the issue. That said, I have stopped drinking coffee now for several weeks, stopped smoking(that seemed to really irritate it) and I recently fasted on juices and that did help. I have been eating apples, drinking raw very very sour goats yogurt, and taking baking soda. I am also drinking licorice, marshmallow, slippery elm tea. I also take chlorophyll. The only relief I get is from bentonite clay that I mix with colloidal silver and aloe vera(in case I also have a bacterial infection and ulcers) My stomach feels very full and hurts even when I just drink tea.
The good news is the referred pain in my chest and shoulder has abated.
I'll say this too, that I live in constant dread of dying from cancer as my mom did. This is a program yes? How do you think these things intersect? And is there anything else anyone might recommend on a physical level?
Just want to add:
Here are the general rules:
Eat a lot of leafy green vegetables every day. Try to have kale, collards, cooked spinach, chard or bok choy every day.
Include some grains every day from the list.
You can eat fish, shellfish, organic chicken, turkey, or beef once a day.
Have dried, cooked beans every day.
I follow this diet pretty well. I could improve in that I could eat leafy green vegetables every day. I don't like beans and most grains don't agree with me( they are starvation foods at my house) so we don't eat them. I use organic butter and free range eggs, I also use raw milk and goats milk and get raw cheeses but these are used sparingly as they are sooo expensive. I buy grassfed or free range meats. Though I have not been eating much meat at all as I am not digesting proteins and fats very well right now.

Have dried, cooked beans every day.
Have nuts and seeds every day.
Have a serving of berries every day.
Have a serving of beets every day.
Eat lots of garlic.
Use organic cold-pressed oils to cook: olive oil, coconut oil, sesame oil, grape seed oil.
Use organic butter in moderation.
Take 1 to 2 tablespoons of flaxseed oil every day.
Sweeten with Stevia.
Drink natural spring water, distilled or filtered water only.
Have organic herbal teas as often as you like.
Eat sea vegetables a few times a week: dulse, nori, arame, wakame, kombu and hijiki. All of these are very high in magnesium.
Soak your nuts before eating them if possible.
Soak your rice and other grains overnight before cooking.
Soak dried beans overnight with teaspoon of baking soda then discard water and wash again before cooking.
Use sea salt.
Make your own mayonnaise from organic egg yolks, grape seed oil and fresh lemon or lime juice and organic dijon mustard.
Avoid like the plague the following:
All refined and processed foods such as cookies, cakes, doughnuts, bagels, breads, etc.
Lunch meats and hotdogs.
Soy products and soy protein powders.
All sugars including fructose, corn syrup.
Diet products of any kind.
All dairy products except organic butter and free range eggs.
Coffee and tea. Period
Any foods containing hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated oils.
Any foods with MSG or "hydrolyzed vegetable protein".
All alcohol
All fruit juices and sodas
Commercial iodized salt.
It is probably best to concentrate your diet on this list for at least a month or two while also taking other detox steps such as supplementation and detox saunas.
