has anyone survived cancer from acid reflux?

We Answered:

The cancer has a history of being a deadly disease, but it is very rare that it does this. If he pays attention to his Reflux and takes the advise of the doctors he will be fine. Here are some pointers to help with the Reflux end.

I am not a doctor, so either way you will want to talk to them, but this is what I have to say as a long time sufferer of Acid Reflux (G.E.R.D.)!

Three part answer information, what not to do, and what to do!

INFORMATION!!!!!!
I have a very severe case of Acid Reflux (G.E.R.D.). I have had to go to the hospital for some of the heartburn that I have had because the pain can become overwhelming or your breathing can be effected. It can be caused by Smoking, Drinking Beverages with caffeine (My case), Drinking Beverages with Alcohol, or can be Hereditary

The good thing about G.E.R.D. is that it can be a temporary thing and can be cured. It is never a permit thing even if you end up with it for the rest of your life it has the ability to be cured.

G.E.R.D. is caused by too much acid being created in your stomach. This can lead to or cause ulcers, esophagus damage, heartburn and/or damage in the mouth.

WHAT NOT TO DO!!!!!!!!
In most cases, stress is a factor to the reflux if you watch what you eat and reduce some of the stress it will help. If you watch what you eat for about a week you should find relief, if you do not then that is when you definitely what to listen to the doctor. Things to watch for are as follows:

Fatty Foods
Citrus Foods
Foods That Contain Grease
Fried Foods
Chocolate (including any Coco)
Caffeine
Smoking
Alcohol
Tomato Based Products
Lactose

WHAT TO DO!!!!
The two foods that I recommend is Black strap Molasses and Raw honey. The apple is better for night time reflux while these will work for just about all of it. What you will do is take about a tsp. of whatever one you chose. Molasses being the better because of strength and nutrition, but must be use to the taste. What the substance will do is stick to the sides of the esophagus and do two things, one is heal and the other is protect.
On the healing end, both substances have a healing property in them, and as they sit on the walls of the esophagus they will heal it. This is also helpful if you have a sore throat in the morning from refluxing.
On the protection end, both substances are high in sugar and when acid that is refluxed comes up to that the sugar will neutralize it and it will not longer be a problem at that point.

I would also look to putting Cinnamon in you diet, it has been know to help with digestion and will help you reduce the amount of acid needed to brake down food, therefore causing you to reflux less.

Marjorie Said:

What are the chances of throat cancer if one has acid reflux?

We Answered:

Acids backing up into your esophagus has been proven to raise the risk of throat cancer because the constant irritation changes your cells. They even have a new procedure to zap the precancerous cells and lower that cancer risk.

Acid Reflux & Stomach Cancer?

We Answered:

I answered a question with similar thoughts like yours. So, I'll tell you what I told her. She too was a young girl only her concern was for her mom. Acid reflux has been known to cause cancer. Cancer of the stomach or esophagus. However, I've had this since my 20's. I have bleeding ulcers as well. I'm on medications that prevent excessive reproduction of stomach acids. I've had many, many tests. Vit K deficiency would happen with a bleed. Vit K is a clotting vitamin and if not enough in your body, then bleeding can be a problem. Don't believe everything you read on medical sites. Your best place to get answers you need in your case is directly from your doctor. He/she knows you, Knows how your stomach work. The internet can only give you a broad range of common causes of and some not so common of acid reflux.. You then scare yourself and think the worst. Only the worst case scenario will you see acid reflux causing stomach cancer. If you're treated with the proper medications and do not eat any spicy foods, well you know, you should do alright. I strongly suggest you speak with your Dr. OK I know how you fell. You will be OK
