Hi @PV123 I had the endoscopy and the interesting thing is, the small hernia I had prior to chemo had disappeared. Prior to chemo, the hernia only caused me mild discomfort. I was taking the mother apple cider vinegar daily but it appeared to make no difference with the heartburn (although four years ago I did have success with it breaking the thrush cycle so I am very PRO natural). My natural oils are keeping the reflux away but the pain in my torso is still there and it does go away with the heartburn tablets. At this stage I am leaning towards taking the tablet once every three days. Seems to cause only minimum depression attacks and reduces the torso pain. A bit of both rather than heaps of one. I am really hoping time will be favourable. Thank you for the response. I love natural therapies and found that pre BC I had no need of any synthetic drugs. I would try anything to avoid putting toxins in my body. Hopefully one day I can do that again.
