This seems incredible…curious to see the long term research on it.

[@mrgekko6386]

There is 3 years data and it think 5 years is coming soon, google on "Implantica's RefluxStop™ trial shows exceptional three-year follow-up result"

I was recently diagnosed with this but the only symptom was constant nausea and then bam I ended up in hospital and they told me then I need to take omeprazole for life. I don’t have heartburn or reflux symptoms. Was perplexed to be honest but I have been taking lactase digestive enzymes and can’t believe the difference!

I have that more than 9 years , I'm living with it... Sometimes looks my last minute, it's horrible 😔

Carnivore/Keto diet is the answer! I suffered from serious reflux and it went away after 3 to 4 weeks. No surgery required .
