GERD and Back Pain

[Wisdomseeker777]

Years of bad habits caused my problems of back pain at night. Now I realize that many of the things that I was doing to myself have finally caught up to me as I age. GERD set in and the nerves of the stomach are directly connected to the back. Now several small meals, no sodas , no coffee, nothing to eat two hours before bed and the combination of lipase, protease, and lactase before each small meals are my ticket out of the misery. This took a combination of a regular doctor, a chiropractor and a well trained sales lady at Whole Foods. But first it took prayer. God will give you wisdom freely. The miracle you are looking for may come in the package of God given wisdom. Most of us did this to ourselves. My question if there is one is just this. Who can you trust?

It is so unfortunate that these days in order to get the proper healthcare that we all have to research and advocate.  Medical schools need to change how they teach doctors.  They must practice preventive medicine, embrace alternatives and learn to treat the cause instead of just the symptoms.
