does curd reduce acidity - #25208
I am really worried about this ongoing acidity problem I've been having for the past few weeks. I’ve tried a bunch of antacids, but they only help for a little while, and then the burning comes back. I read somewhere that does curd reduce acidity, and my mom always used to say that eating curd is good for digestion. I actually love curd, but I’m not sure if it works for everyone. I noticed when I eat spicy foods, which I can’t resist, my acidity flares up even more! Ugh. I’m also kind of confused. Like, does curd reduce acidity in the long run or is it just a temporary fix? I’ve thought about making smoothies with curd or maybe having some with fruits. Kinda have a hard time believing it could actually help tho. Anyone here tried it? Also, how much should I be eating? A bowl, a cup? I really want to avoid those chemical pills if I can. Just scared of these symptoms getting worse, you know?

Ulset syrup - #3039
I’ve been dealing with chronic acidity and a burning sensation in my stomach for a few months, and someone suggested ulset syrup as a remedy. Can anyone explain how ulset syrup works and whether it’s effective for managing acid reflux and heartburn? My main symptoms are post-meal acidity, occasional bloating, and a persistent burning feeling in the upper stomach. I’ve tried antacids, but the relief is temporary. From what I’ve read, ulset syrup is supposed to soothe the stomach lining and balance pitta dosha. Is this accurate? If you’ve used ulset syrup, how quickly did it start to work? Are there any dietary changes needed while taking it, like avoiding spicy or acidic foods? Also, are there any side effects to watch out for, especially with long-term use? Any personal experiences with ulset syrup for chronic acidity or related symptoms would be really helpful. I’m looking for something that not only provides relief but also addresses the root cause.
