Cured GERD
I know this sounds weird, but I accidentally fixed my GERD by drinking EAA’s (Essential Amino Acids) in my water first thing in the morning instead of plain water. For some reason, plain water on an empty stomach was my biggest trigger for reflux. Coffee never bothered me, but regular water would instantly cause issues.
I started adding EAA powder to my water and noticed my stomach felt “activated” properly. My theory is maybe the sweetness or amino acids trigger digestion/stomach acid differently, but I honestly have no idea scientifically. I just know it worked for me.
It’s been basically cured for like a year now. I either start my day with coffee or EAA’s and I rarely get GERD anymore.
Not medical advice at all — just sharing something random that personally worked for me after struggling with reflux for a long time.
