This is awesome! I dealt with reflux for ~8 months till I finally saw a doctor. He basically said "I don't know why you have this, and it doesn't matter. I'll give you 3 months of prilosec. Let's see what happens". Staying on prescription drugs for the rest of my life doesn't sound very appealing to me (I'm only 24 for crying out loud!) This kind of information is EXACTLY what I'm looking for! Thanks!
You are awesome!!! It took many doctors visits and nexium prescript to realize that I had to stop eating greasy heavy foods after 6 or 7pm. I have had to start eating more raw vegetables and fruits to relieve the symptoms without taking the drugs. It has been life changing to get away from the constant commercials running in my mind about the three meals a day and all the meat I was consuming. I am not young any more...
Well done! Thank you for putting this together. I will refer my patients to this video. I get tired of saying your same words over and over and over every day.
Have you also considered low stomach acid as the actual cause? Not having enough stomach acid may relax the LES and allow undigested food to produce bacterial acid which could reflux up the esophagus.
Thank you for video. I've only been getting acid reflux recently but I've only started to get worse anxiety recently also. Since you said it could just be stress that probably means I just need to relax.
I have acid reflux for many years , doctors give me nexium , after 15 years my doctor told me to wear off of it because now they know can produce stomach cancer, so I am starting taking this every 3 days , and what really helping me is bicarbonate of soda and tea made with fresh ginger.
I suffer from Acid Reflux and I liked your video. I tried few different approach and it seems like the best remedy, as you said, is a eating habits. Thanks for your video.
Nyck461 Nick, eating habits are very important ! make sure to 1. chew the food very well, 2. eat slowly. 3 do not overeat! those are common causes of Acid Reflux and GERD in my practice. and make sure to stay away from meds! long turn use of acid reducing meds contributes to carcinoid tumors and will increase rate of esophageal, stomach cancer, paradoxically!
@@pavneetkaur4327 not at first, i thought they were the best help. Now that i have this depression and anxiety getting worse i feel that years of Prevacid use might be the culprit.
Never trust the system and put your life in their hands. You need to be proactive and investigative yourself question everything spend time researching.
This man is SPOT ON! I developed very frequent Heartburn and Acid Reflux at 39 years of age. No doctors could tell me how to stop it other than to take pills. Finally, I decided to stop taking the pills, eat smaller meals, lots of veggies, less fat, fewer carbs....still drink a few cups of coffee every day but almost never have attacks anymore....and I used to NEED to take a pill everyday or even a sandwich would give me heartburn!
Hi Sleepypoodle, Thanks for sharing with regards to your friend. I am sorry your friend had to pass away from cancer. I did get my referral but my symptoms has been better. I heard endonoscopies run a risk of infection w the instruments and internal bleeding. One of my family relative died from internal bleeding from an endonoscopy. I am going to hold off on this invasive procedure until I really need it. I appreciate your concern and so sorry for the loss of your friend. Hopefully, everyone reading these posts will learn from your friend's experience. Blessings :)
Thank you so much. I was eating a healthy diet for over a year and made the mistake of eating cheetos and alchohol. It caused gerd and no matter what I do I can't rid myself of it. Thanks for the tips 😀
If you have acid reflux or too much acid, try eating red apples. Red apples has alkaline effects which neujtralizes acid in your stomach and esophagus.Use a fully ripe apple and make sure you remove the skin before eating it. I used to suffer from severe acid reflux. That was 10 years ago and I got rid of that problem since started eating red apples. It worked for me, my family, friends and co-workers.
There is no such a thing as high acid. It’s extremely rare. It’s impossible just eating red apple it helps you. You ate many other things before and after that apple how do you know it’s that very apple. Did you go off and on to see if it comes back?
This doc knows exactly what he is talking about. Keep trying the different Tx options he explains. I used to have heart burn but have it 100% under control with diet and lifestyle. What worked for me was ditching sodas and fried foods and replacing those foods with steamed veggies and grilled chicken/fish. I'm still able to eat the occasional junk food because the strong base of my diet has eliminated my heart burn. Maybe others have a different way of controlling their heart burn. I'd love to hear how others controlled their heartburn so I can relay your information to my patients as well.
If you have constant heartburn try not eating wheat products for 2 or 3 days. I had heartburn for years but as soon as I stopped eating wheat products it stopped. I assume it was because of gluten. Now I can eat, drink anything (Apart from wheat) and I don't have heartburn or need any medication Also I feel much better, more energy, lost weight etc.
Nice Video! Sorry for chiming in, I would love your thoughts. Have you heard the talk about - Mackorny Cool Stomach Blueprint (erm, check it on google should be there)? It is a smashing exclusive guide for getting rid of Heartburn minus the hard work. Ive heard some awesome things about it and my close friend Aubrey got amazing success with it.
I've been investigating a theory that heartburn is caused by compression of nerves in the spine. You know how pinched nerves can cause weird muscle spasms everywhere? It makes sense that the LES can spasm open at the wrong time, and the stomachs normal digestive contractions can be too hard or erratic as well, leading to indigestion and acid reflux. This theory makes a lot of sense to me. Zillions of people have H. Pylori and hiatal hernias, but no heartburn. Plus heartburn is an age related and obesity related disease. So... back trouble, compressed nerves... acid reflux. makes more sense.
What kinda of acid reflux did you have. The chest one or the kind that went up into your throat also known as LRS. I have LRS and I’ve heard that doing ACV Might not be good for it
Thank you, thank you. I have been suffering again for almost 2-1/2 years. I had fundoplication surgery 15 years ago, and think after time it's failing. After watching this, I am quite angry I've never been tested for H.Pylori. Only famoditine long-term, finally after trying three times to get an endoscopy, will see specialist this week. I have been miserable. This has gotten so bad I'm sick most days and can barely get out of bed.
Hi Doc, You the man. Tried some DGL and apple cider vinegar after nearly a week of hearburn. I never had it before a day in my life, but I knew it was from eating late at night. I bodybuild to facilitate my rowing sport, and I started helping my younger bro lose some weight. He works late so I'd save my post workout meals for after we finished. Clearly a huge mistake. I've been suffering food coming up my esophagus, my chest being on fire, and my stomach just churning. I've been having episodes all day so I thought what the hell. Tried your ACV + DGL combo right at meal time, and followed up with some fresh ginger root tea: No pain whatsoever and that was 2.5 hours ago. Thank you so much for putting this info on the net and making it available to everyone. You're doing an amazing public service. Thank you.
I wanted to add that I'm glad you're trying to cure rather than treat symptoms. Too many doctors whip freaking pills at you and mask the symptoms. I'm all for fixing the problem. Glad to hear I don't have to start a drug regimen to get this under control.
thank you doctor for this video you are helping us cause I'm one of those patient who is suffering from this Acid refluxe I have lost to much weight thank you again bless you doctor 🙏🙏 Eunice from South.
I always tried my best to stay away from operation while try to eliminate chest pain and burning sensation because surgical procedures are risky and actually frightens me very much.
DGL plus probiotic and 3 mg melatonin are really helping me. Plus I use Lily of the Desert’s Stomach formula available on line ( Swanson ). Thx for the info.
Remarkable that Dr. Hyman was on top of this issue 13 years ago, when the medical community at large is just now waking up to how dangerous PPIs can be for patients long term.
I came across your channel recently sir. Thanks for the amazing advice and guidance. God bless you. I have been diagnosed with GERD, will follow your advice to recover from the " PPI " That i was given 😊. God bless you.
I recently have noticed success with a chiropractor. I suggest people research how a compromised vagus nerve can affect your digestive system. 2 visits in and my b it bring throat is greatly improved.
Appreciate Video clip! Excuse me for chiming in, I would love your opinion. Have you thought about - t.co/o6RSF9BxUj ? It is a great exclusive product for getting rid of Heartburn without the hard work. Ive heard some awesome things about it and my mate got astronomical success with it.
So much great info. in this. Thank you very much...currently trying a gluten-free diet at the moment. Day 6 and I'm noticing less chest and throat tightness 🤔. Will probably go dairy free too later on. Trying to eat healthy and learning how to improve my digestion.
this guy is a gift from god who ever belives,evryone has a gift but defferent ones,some are geniues on computers,some good at fixing,building,this guy is an intellegent and hes got powerfull mind,i bet you,if you talk to him for 2 hours,he;ll ether cure you or make you go crazy,what i mean by that if you can listen to him at what he says you really will learn alot, i love this guy,god bless you doc..
I was on Prevacid for years. Despite this medicine, I still have damage in my throat. It’s uncomfortable and I’m pretty hoarse sounding. Wonder if there’s anything to help repair my damaged throat???
Very good video! priceless advice: identify the cause! GERD is multifactorial disease and if you do not know the cause of your acid reflux, then its difficult to identify the correct natural treatment. thank you
Yeah, no dairy or wheat is nearly impossible for me. I mean, maybe if I lived alone, but everyone in my house a shitload of that stuff around, and I only have so much will power.
I’ve been taking ppi for over 20 years due to a hiatus hernia which suppressed the heartburn, I’m a 66 male in the UK, The UK NHS will only do a surgical procedure for a hiatus hernia as a last resort, I was on Esomeprazole 40mg per day until I stopped 2 months ago, I’m now getting heartburn again 😢 What would you advise please 🙏
I solved all my problems regarding acid reflux/heartburn/GERD by taking a tsp of apple cider vinegar diluted in 1 glass of water every morning. It's been 4 months since I started and not once have I suffered from acid reflux in this period. Nothing short of a miracle!
No. I believe my GERD problem is because I took medication before bed and laid down immediately. I have since learned you should never lay down after taking meds for 30 minutes.
Question. I find that one 1000mg tablet of pure organic apple cider vinegar taken with each meal eliminates acid reflux. Does this have any negative side effects? Background: i do all of the recommended food and lifestyle changes (not overweight, no junk food, smaller meals, no caffeine etc, no Prilosec or similar drugs). I have also had 2 Fundoplications to help my lower sphincter. Even with all this I was having post-meal reflux. Apple cider vinegar tablet eliminated what was remaining.
I had chronic acid reflux until I severely limited my intake of coffee, whiskey and tomato based products. I also take supplemental aloe vera juice and occasional apple cider vinegar to alkalinize my body's PH. No more heartburn.
I only get acid reflux if I eat Chinese food and barbeque meats. My guess is that my reaction to Chinese food is the MSG. Every time I take a couple of bites of Chinese foods, I have to go to the bathroom and regurgitate the food. Large amounts of an opaque, slimy looking, thick liquid comes up. I can then let my stomach settle for a few minutes and then eat the rest of the food. With barbeque it is the same. I eat a little, sometimes only one bite, and I have to go throw up. Then I let my stomach rest for 5 or so minutes and I can finish the food. Weird, I know. Taking a Zantac on occasion about 1 hour before I eat those foods sometimes prevents throwing up; but sometimes I still throw up. My wife makes Chinese food at home but I never get the reflux reaction; so I think that the restaurants are using lots of MSG and that I am allergic to it, or at least it sets off a volcano of acid being pumped into my stomach.
Try Apple Cider Vinegar and Swedish bitters. It takes a few days before you see an improvement. Just keep at it. Betaine HCL will help getting your acid levels up.
I can't say for everyone, but it worked for me. Eating meat - food for us to hard to digest makes our bodies adapt to it, increasing acid production. Disclaimer: I'm not a preaching vegan, I'm not saying you should go veg, just saying that this is what solved the problem for me. If you're considering going veg - that might be another thing you'd profit.
THANK YOU! MERCI! GRACIAS! GRAZIA! This is the most wonderful and useful and direct information I have gotten from any doctor!!! From any of the 5 doctors I have seen regarding this.
Since I've stopped eating refined carbs my stomach pain went away but acid reflux stayed. But after I stopped eating meat dairy and eggs it went away literally at the same time. When I eat meat it comes back again. But if you do that, take a b12 supplement. 2500mcg once a week should do it
The problem with reflux is how difficult it is to figure out exactly what is causing yours. Took me two years to figure out my specific cause and six months to get completely Gerd free. It’s 100% diet dependent unless you have a hernia.
great info doc and for once a doctor is saying no to medications, otherwise all the doctors do is hear your symptoms and prescribe the meds. i loved the video, just one tiny request, can you speak little slower or have subtitles. thanx alot
I get blood test for bacteria and answer was H-PILORI bacteria.I writing for antibiotic except penicillin because have allergy from that.I was in fire from inflammation because using since 8 years prev acid which is bad.Naw I trying to get out prev acid is very difficult.I have and hemorrhoids in and out .which antibiotic is the best for H-PILORI?
Got acid reflux for the first time two months ago. Never smoked, never been overweight, never been pregnant. Had two negative blood and stool H. pylori tests. Had a normal upper GI result, apart from their detecting 'mild' acid reflux. Tried PPIs and natural meds. Nothing helps, except consuming lots of dairy, which I usually don't consume. :(
Test for SIBO via a lactulose breath test, also if you can find a clinic that does a Heidelberg pH test so you know with some empiricism that you have high acid, it'll be easier to move forward. If you have SIBO, you'll need antibiotics or anti microbial herbs and following the "bi-phasic" diet helps. If you just have high acid, following the acid watcher diet and using Heartburn Tx from Vital Nutrients is super helpfuls. DGL chewable tabs are great too. Oh, vitamin D, if you live in a cold cloudy place, you're deficient, 10,000 IU a day. Hope this helps!
@@danielmiller5521 there is no such a thing as high acid. It is extremely rare please stop using that word. 99% of acid reflux is low stomach acid and loose LES
Let me benign with the fact that I'm not representing any companies or trying to sell any products. I'm only a person that USED to have serious digestive issues and the usual things associated with it: bad breath, constant bloating, constipation, metal taste in my mouth etc. I used to have really really bad heartburn. I accidentally came across a product called Zypan (made by StandardProcess). I never had a heartburn episode since I start taking it. Now I can eat anything I want (tomatoes, citrus fruits and cabbage stuff including ). Apparently Zypan has HCl in it. You can get heartburn if your stomach doesn't produce enough HCl and can't properly digest the food. Another product that really helped me and some of my family members that had the same problem is Apple Cider Vinegar pills. For me the American Health brand works the best. They usually come in 600mg/ serving. Good, proper digestion is so important to keep your body healthy.
my doctor gave me Apo Osomeprazole, I took two and stopped and he told me not to take any online advice ,,,,, I have been take a digestive enzyme and pro-biotic.....I was feeling much better and then I ate some spicy food which sent me spiralling back into bad episode of heartburn,,,,,,it is now mild sometimes when I eat....I don't know what to eat anymore and am so afraid to take the medications......help
I'd been on Omeprazole after an endoscopy for over a year and came off gradually then went onto Zantac and was off that this alst 2 weeks. I don't eat dairy or wheat, I don't have H Pylori or Cealiacs. I've been taking Chinese herbs, L-glutamine, Aloe Vera juice, Vitamin C and Calcium as well as eating a good diet and felt slightly better but today felt awful and ended up taking lansoprazole that doc prescribed and have stomach pain. Trying the natural approach again!
Wow what a great video, youve explained more to me in this video than my doctors has in YEARS!!, I thank you very much for the information. Could you please advise on which probiotic would be good, as i had a allergy blood test and the milk, wheat, eggs came back as high intolerance! I would appreciate if you could advise, but if not, thank you very very much for explaining in such detail, the causes of acid reflux, and dietry advice too! :0) thanks.
Myorlands, Have you done a GI endonoscopy?...my distant relative passed away from esophageal cancer. I have GERD and will ask my doctor for a referral for an endonoscopy. He says I do not need it, but I am going to switch doctors if eventually I need one and I do not get my referral.
Kayla Nguyen Change your doctor! A very dear friend of mine died from stomach cancer which had already metastasized by the time it was diagnosed. His imbecile of a G.P. had been treating his chronic, relentless acid reflux and stomach pains symptoms with repeat prescriptions of H2 receptor blocking drugs for TWO YEARS before referring him for any investigations - by which time it was too late. Unfortunately he was a very gentle, trusting and unassertive man - as was his wife and it was not until he'd lost a considerable amount of weight and was passing malaena (black, tarry stools) that he eventualy insisted on an oesophago-gastro-duodenoscopy. People can no longer rely on the integrity or efficiency of health care professionals and need to take control where their health is concerned. Incidentally, in the meantime for symptom relief - squeeze the contents of half a fresh lemon into a glass, add about 50 -100mls of water and drink two to three times a day. Lemon is the only citrus fruit which converts to alkaline in your stomach and is a very effective and healthy way of controlling the symptoms of heartburn/acid reflux. Bon Courage!
what if an individual has tried all that which I have, including yhe supplements? just have to live with it. the acid also affects teeth because it comes up through the throat.
I started Bragg's apple cider vinegar for severely acid reflux, i can't believe that it actually helps my reflux, i also chew some DGL licorice tabs. I DC didnt make the connection between my depression and constant use of Prevacid.
Until I discovered the 100 % natural therapy that improved my lifetime within 2 months, it is best to learn for your own here: great7.net/8-weeks-cure-pyrosis
You're wrong and you're hiding what GERD truly is and you're putting acid reflux and Gerd as if they are the same when they're not the same... I'm not an emotional person but it really hurts when people like you put out these videos and you don't address the differences from GERD and reflux.. Acid reflux is natural and will happen to people from time to time and that is what you are addressing and it's good advice to regular folks who are getting acid reflux after eating bad foods and drinking alcohol and coffee and just avoiding foods and drinks we didn't evolve with and a healthy eating life style will cure them from getting the burn and the pain BUT and it's a huge BUT,,, GERD IS A DISEASE AND IT'S CHRONIC AND NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO AND WHAT YOU EAT AND WHAT YOU DRINK, YOU'LL STILL GET ACID AND THE STRONG SALIVA TO BURN THE LOWER PART OF THE ESOPHAGUS AND SURE EATING BETTER AND STAYING AWAY FROM ALL THE BAD STUFF HELPS A BIT AND YET WE GERD SUFFERERS ARE IN PAIN 24/7 BECAUSE DURING A H HERNIA THE LES IS BLOWN WIDE OPEN AND IS FORCED TO STAY WIDE OPENED AND YOU START TO FEEL THE BURNING AND NOTHING YOU DO HELPS AND EVERYONE TELLS YOU TO TAKE ANTACIDS AND YOU GO SEE A DOCTOR AND HE PUTS YOU ON MEDS AND NOBODY EVER TELLS YOU THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE A HERNIA AND THEY DO AN ENDO PROCEDURE AND LOOK INSIDE YOUR STOMACH AND THEY DON'T FIND ANYTHING AND JUST GIVE YOU MEDS AND THE HEALTH CARE SYSTEM IS DOING IT ON PURPOSE AND THEY DON'T IMMEDIATELY TELL YOU THAT IT'S A HERNIA AND WHILE YOUR OFF DOING ALL THESE CRAZY WAYS OF TRYING TO FEEL BETTER, THE ACIDS ARE BURNING AWAY THE LINING OF THE ESOPHAGUS AND DESTROYING THE LES WHICH IS THE VALVE AND WHEN YOU FINALLY HAVE HAD ENOUGH AND YOU FEEL LIKE YOU CAN'T LIVE WITH THE BURN FOREVER, THEY SEND YOU FOR YOUR LAST ENDOSCOPY AND FIND THAT YOU HAVE A LOT OF DAMAGE IN YOUR ESOPHAGUS FROM THE YEARS OF DEALING WITH THE PAIN AND DOING STUPID THINGS LIKE THIS AND IT'S SO SO STUPID BECAUSE WHY DON'T NORMAL EVERYDAY PEOPLE THAT EAT AND DRINKING LIKE PIGS NEVER GET GERD AND YET THE PEOPLE THAT ARE EATING AND DRINKING ALL THESE HEALTHY THINGS YOU MENTIONED ARE STILL SUFFERING IN AGONY AND HOPELESS AND SICK AND TIRED OF BEING SICK AND TIRED AND GOING FROM DOCTOR TO DOCTOR AND FINALLY YOU GO FOR THE SURGERY AND THAT'S WHEN THEY UNCOVER THE HERNIA AND PULL IT BACK DOWN AND INSTEAD OF JUST PULLING THE HERNIA DOWN TO SEE IF MAYBE THINGS WILL GET BETTER BUT NO AND THEY WRAP THE STOMACH AROUND YOUR ESOPHAGUS NEVER EVEN TELLING YOU THAT YOU'LL NEVER BE ABLE TO THROW UP AND THAT'S A HUGE BIG DEAL AND NOT BEING ABLE TO THROW UP IS A HUGE HUGE PROBLEM AND IT CAN KILL YOU AND YET THE WRAP AND FIXING THE HERNIA DOESN'T WORK AND IT EVEN HURTS MORE IF YOU HAVE DAMAGE BECAUSE THEY BRING ALL THE DAMAGED EROSION TOGETHER AND TOUCHING EACH OTHER AND THE PAIN NOW IS 100 TIMES WORTH AND YOU THOUGHT YOU WERE GOING TO COME OUT OF IT FEELING SOME RELIEF BUT YOU ARE IN AGONY AND SO YOU GO UN WRAP IT AND YOU FIND THAT THERE IS NO ESCAPE AND BECAUSE THE LES MUSCLE VALVE IS COMPLETE NOT EVEN THERE AND JUST DOESN'T EVEN EXIST AND I DON'T GET HOW HARD IS IT FOR ANYONE TO FIGURE OUT THAT THE LES WAS DESTROYED BY THE HERNIA AND BY THE ACID AND IT JUST DOESN'T WORK ANYMORE AND THE LES SHOULD ALWAYS WORK AND IF IT DOESN'T, NOTHING CAN STOP AND YOU CAN EAT AND DRINKING THE HEALTHIEST FOODS IN THE WORLD BUT IT WON'T HELP BECAUSE ACID HAS TO EXIST AND STRONG SALIVA AND MILD BILE AND IT'S JUST SEVERE PAIN AND IT STARTS TO ATTACK YOUR NERVOUS SYSTEM AND YOU FEEL ANXIETY FROM THE PAIN AND YOU CAN RUN AND LOOSE WEIGHT AND NOT EAT BEFORE BED AND ELEVATE YOUR BED AND NOT SLEEP FOR TOO LONG AND IT STILL WON'T DO ANYTHING BECAUSE GRAVITY DOESN'T WORK AND ACID IS BEING MADE EVEN AT THE VERY TOP NEAR THE BROKEN LES AND IT WILL GET THE CELLS OF THE LOWER ESOPHAGUS AND CONSTANTLY HIT IT EVEN A LITTLE AND YOU HAVE CHRONIC PAIN AND THAT'S WHY IT'S CALLED GERD WHICH IS GASTRO ESOPHAGUS REFLUX DISEASE AND YOUR MISS LEADING PEOPLE AND THAT H. PYLORI HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH GERD AND THAT'S AN ENTIRE OTHER ISSUE AND HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE ESOPHAGUS AND THAT IS A DIFFERENT TOPIC AND THIS VIDEO IS A DISAPPOINTMENT AND IT'S TRASH AND I HAVE HAD GERD FOR 25 YEARS AND IT'S ACTUALLY INSULTING THAT YOU ASSUME TO THINK YOU CAN CURE GERD AND BELIEVE ME THAT WHEN YOU HAVE GERD, YOU'VE ALREADY TRIED EVERYTHING AND NOTHING WORKS.. EVEN GOING TO SLEEP ON AN EMPTY STOMACH IS ACTUALLY BAD BECAUSE THE ACID HAS NOTHING TO BIND TO AND SO THAT'S RETARDED AND YOU'RE HUNGRY AND NOTHING FEELS BETTER THAN GOING TO SLEEP WITH SOME FOOD TO GET YOU THROUGH THE NIGHT AND IT'S ALL BS AND YOU SHOULD MAKE A BETTER VIDEO AND NOT MISS LEAD INDIVIDUALS AND TELL THEM TO GO TELL THEIR DOCTORS IT'S A HERNIA AND TO LOOK FOR THAT BECAUSE 9 OUT OF 10 TIMES A HERNIA IS WHAT DESTROYS THE LES AND ONCE THE LES IS DESTROYED, YOU ARE LOOKING AT A PAINFUL LIFE AND YOU DEAL WITH THE PAIN ANYWAY YOU CAN BUT AT LEAST THE RIGHT INFO PUSHES FOR NEW TECHNOLOGIES AND IT WOULD BE SO EASY TO INSTALL AN ARTIFICIAL VALVE THAT CAN DETECT WHEN YOU'RE DONE EATING AND JUST CLOSE THE LOWER ESOPHAGUS AND WHEN YOU'RE GOING TO EAT, YOU CAN TURN IT ON AND JUST COME UP WITH A REAL SOLUTION AND NOT THIS HEALTHY BS THAT DOESN'T WORK ONCE YOUR LES IS GONE FOREVER AND THERE IS NO WAY YOU CAN REGROW YOUR LES..

So after 3 weeks can you eat gluten and dairy

Also true. Sphincter muscle is triggered to shut when enough acid is present

stop the acid reflux by drinking potatoes juice and cabbage juice (with 30 mins before each meal )
Do you do this for a while only? Please advice. Thank u
Yikes! No thanks! I’ll stick to 2 tbs of organic apple cider vinegar mixed with 8 oz of water.

I was scsred of endoscope too but glad i gof it as they found t polyps snd removed them then camera down my throat diagnosed Barrett's esophagus
Thank you so much. I was eating a healthy diet for over a year and made the mistake of eating cheetos and alchohol. It caused gerd and no matter what I do I can't rid myself of it. Thanks for the tips 😀
Excellent!what a comprehensive explanation of the problem and it’s cure.
notice those words he says "just deal with the cause " . He is a great guy.

Robert Ramsay what was the result?
I've been investigating a theory that heartburn is caused by compression of nerves in the spine. You know how pinched nerves can cause weird muscle spasms everywhere? It makes sense that the LES can spasm open at the wrong time, and the stomachs normal digestive contractions can be too hard or erratic as well, leading to indigestion and acid reflux. This theory makes a lot of sense to me. Zillions of people have H. Pylori and hiatal hernias, but no heartburn. Plus heartburn is an age related and obesity related disease. So... back trouble, compressed nerves... acid reflux. makes more sense.

OMG! 😱 Wish I had seen this years ago... Thank you! I tried apple cider vinegar and it works!
What kinda of acid reflux did you have. The chest one or the kind that went up into your throat also known as LRS. I have LRS and I’ve heard that doing ACV Might not be good for it

@@mishalahmed8066 did you try apple cider vinegar

Stomach ulcer but it works for GERD
Agree, it helps me also. Can hardly believe it at first. If i have really bad acid attack i put a teaspoon of baking soda in water, that helps fast.
Ty 4 sharing! Dr. Mark Hyman explains it simply in plain english. God bless!
Thank you, thank you. I have been suffering again for almost 2-1/2 years. I had fundoplication surgery 15 years ago, and think after time it's failing. After watching this, I am quite angry I've never been tested for H.Pylori. Only famoditine long-term, finally after trying three times to get an endoscopy, will see specialist this week. I have been miserable. This has gotten so bad I'm sick most days and can barely get out of bed.
I pray for you my friend
Hope you're getting well! GERD is a terrible illness.
Hi Doc,
You the man. Tried some DGL and apple cider vinegar after nearly a week of hearburn. I never had it before a day in my life, but I knew it was from eating late at night. I bodybuild to facilitate my rowing sport, and I started helping my younger bro lose some weight. He works late so I'd save my post workout meals for after we finished. Clearly a huge mistake. I've been suffering food coming up my esophagus, my chest being on fire, and my stomach just churning. I've been having episodes all day so I thought what the hell. Tried your ACV + DGL combo right at meal time, and followed up with some fresh ginger root tea: No pain whatsoever and that was 2.5 hours ago. Thank you so much for putting this info on the net and making it available to everyone. You're doing an amazing public service. Thank you.
I wanted to add that I'm glad you're trying to cure rather than treat symptoms. Too many doctors whip freaking pills at you and mask the symptoms. I'm all for fixing the problem. Glad to hear I don't have to start a drug regimen to get this under control.
what is DGL?
thank you doctor for this video you are helping us cause I'm one of those patient who is suffering from this Acid refluxe I have lost to much weight thank you again bless you doctor 🙏🙏 Eunice from South.
I always tried my best to stay away from operation while try to eliminate chest pain and burning sensation because surgical procedures are risky and actually frightens me very much.
Dr Hyman=Good man!
Thanks for all the great despite me being a very healthy individual.......Thanks for those who need this info.
DGL plus probiotic and 3 mg melatonin are really helping me. Plus I use Lily of the Desert’s Stomach formula available on line ( Swanson ). Thx for the info.
Remarkable that Dr. Hyman was on top of this issue 13 years ago, when the medical community at large is just now waking up to how dangerous PPIs can be for patients long term.
I came across your channel recently sir. Thanks for the amazing advice and guidance. God bless you. I have been diagnosed with GERD, will follow your advice to recover from the " PPI " That i was given 😊. God bless you.
Any advice on Barrett's Esophagus?
This video is very informative. Thank you for sharing this information.🌹
Dr THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR ALL INFORMATION .God to bless you.
Nice job video thanks doctor
I dont have the money for all these tests. Good advice. I did listen
So simple and clear and effective advice
I recently have noticed success with a chiropractor. I suggest people research how a compromised vagus nerve can affect your digestive system. 2 visits in and my b it bring throat is greatly improved.
You said everything... Welldone... A honest dr that's rare
Appreciate Video clip! Excuse me for chiming in, I would love your opinion. Have you thought about - t.co/o6RSF9BxUj ? It is a great exclusive product for getting rid of Heartburn without the hard work. Ive heard some awesome things about it and my mate got astronomical success with it.
So much great info. in this. Thank you very much...currently trying a gluten-free diet at the moment. Day 6 and I'm noticing less chest and throat tightness 🤔. Will probably go dairy free too later on. Trying to eat healthy and learning how to improve my digestion.
this guy is a gift from god who ever belives,evryone has a gift but defferent ones,some are geniues on computers,some good at fixing,building,this guy is an intellegent and hes got powerfull mind,i bet you,if you talk to him for 2 hours,he;ll ether cure you or make you go crazy,what i mean by that if you can listen to him at what he says you really will learn alot, i love this guy,god bless you doc..
You are WISE!
Thank you Dr. God bless you...
I was on Prevacid for years. Despite this medicine, I still have damage in my throat. It’s uncomfortable and I’m pretty hoarse sounding. Wonder if there’s anything to help repair my damaged throat???
DGL is supposed to help.
@@donalddickinson7538 what is dgl
Deglycyrrhizinated licorice
@@CandyDae thanks
L-glutamine powder and Slippery Elm bark powder-took a month to heal mine.
very interesting information. Can food combining help too, like not mixing proteins with carbohydrates?
Very good video! priceless advice: identify the cause! GERD is multifactorial disease and if you do not know the cause of your acid reflux, then its difficult to identify the correct natural treatment. thank you
Don't know about you, but listening to this good man, I can't find anything to eat now! Dang.
Yeah, no dairy or wheat is nearly impossible for me. I mean, maybe if I lived alone, but everyone in my house a shitload of that stuff around, and I only have so much will power.
Just do the remedies first, then decide what you can eat, kefir is amazing too! title is misleading should have given the remedies at begining
🤣
Once you think about it, you will find that there is plenty to eat. I felt that also but now i made a plan of all that i can eat, i feel better.
Simple it is not ...but improvement is possible!
Very important message. Thanks
I’ve been taking ppi for over 20 years due to a hiatus hernia which suppressed the heartburn, I’m a 66 male in the UK, The UK NHS will only do a surgical procedure for a hiatus hernia as a last resort, I was on Esomeprazole 40mg per day until I stopped 2 months ago, I’m now getting heartburn again 😢 What would you advise please 🙏
I solved all my problems regarding acid reflux/heartburn/GERD by taking a tsp of apple cider vinegar diluted in 1 glass of water every morning. It's been 4 months since I started and not once have I suffered from acid reflux in this period. Nothing short of a miracle!
👍👍👍
When I take them, even after the first dose, I get massive headaches.
Thank u so much, good information and very useful indeed cheers.
I was prescribed Rabeprazole and I started taking it this morning. Should I stop taking it and go the natural route?
Yes.
No. I believe my GERD problem is because I took medication before bed and laid down immediately. I have since learned you should never lay down after taking meds for 30 minutes.
Excellent. From Merida Venezuela
AMAZING! I love Dr. Hyman!!!

Fantastic, thank you so much and greetings from Czech.
You are absolutely right about this! Thanks.
Question. I find that one 1000mg tablet of pure organic apple cider vinegar taken with each meal eliminates acid reflux. Does this have any negative side effects? Background: i do all of the recommended food and lifestyle changes (not overweight, no junk food, smaller meals, no caffeine etc, no Prilosec or similar
drugs). I have also had 2 Fundoplications to help my lower sphincter. Even with all this I was having post-meal reflux. Apple cider vinegar tablet eliminated what was remaining.
So what exactly do you eat on a normal day?
GOD BLESS YOU DOC 😊
I had chronic acid reflux until I severely limited my intake of coffee, whiskey and tomato based products. I also take supplemental aloe vera juice and occasional apple cider vinegar to alkalinize my body's PH. No more heartburn.
I only get acid reflux if I eat Chinese food and barbeque meats. My guess is that my reaction to Chinese food is the MSG. Every time I take a couple of bites of Chinese foods, I have to go to the bathroom and regurgitate the food. Large amounts of an opaque, slimy looking, thick liquid comes up. I can then let my stomach settle for a few minutes and then eat the rest of the food. With barbeque it is the same. I eat a little, sometimes only one bite, and I have to go throw up. Then I let my stomach rest for 5 or so minutes and I can finish the food. Weird, I know. Taking a Zantac on occasion about 1 hour before I eat those foods sometimes prevents throwing up; but sometimes I still throw up. My wife makes Chinese food at home but I never get the reflux reaction; so I think that the restaurants are using lots of MSG and that I am allergic to it, or at least it sets off a volcano of acid being pumped into my stomach.
Try Apple Cider Vinegar and Swedish bitters. It takes a few days before you see an improvement. Just keep at it. Betaine HCL will help getting your acid levels up.
Thanks doctor for you kind efforts.
Great advice. Appreciate you.
Mr Mark, does this apply to silent reflux aka LPR . Do you have any specific diet ? thank you
LRP is still same problems as acid reflux it is still loose LES still
Something is irritating it
Excellent! I appreciate this information tremendously. Thank you Dr. Hyman!
Great info 🙏🏻
I can't say for everyone, but it worked for me. Eating meat - food for us to hard to digest makes our bodies adapt to it, increasing acid production.
Disclaimer: I'm not a preaching vegan, I'm not saying you should go veg, just saying that this is what solved the problem for me. If you're considering going veg - that might be another thing you'd profit.

THANK YOU! MERCI! GRACIAS! GRAZIA! This is the most wonderful and useful and direct information I have gotten from any doctor!!! From any of the 5 doctors I have seen regarding this.
very helpful thank you.
Thanks Dr mark Iam mohamud from mogadishu somali and would like to how best gerd reflux patient overweight can be reduced?
You are the best doctor I have ever seen. Be mine!
I have acid reflux and had surgery and nothing has improved what are the consequences over time? Nothing works for 6 years I've tried everything
keto
Try a teaspoon of baking soda in water. boom.
Since I've stopped eating refined carbs my stomach pain went away but acid reflux stayed. But after I stopped eating meat dairy and eggs it went away literally at the same time. When I eat meat it comes back again. But if you do that, take a b12 supplement. 2500mcg once a week should do it
@@hgmrick you mean any meat? Like chicken and fish
@@amylynnlee3 yeah
I am 69 yrs old, gonna add HCL but how do you balance with some carbs. otherwise it is just like an Atkins diet? I like the study, Thanks!
The problem with reflux is how difficult it is to figure out exactly what is causing yours. Took me two years to figure out my specific cause and six months to get completely Gerd free. It’s 100% diet dependent unless you have a hernia.
great info doc and for once a doctor is saying no to medications, otherwise all the doctors do is hear your symptoms and prescribe the meds. i loved the video, just one tiny request, can you speak little slower or have subtitles. thanx alot
You can modify the speed of the video on the lower right side by going to settings and speed. Problem solved.
I get blood test for bacteria and answer was H-PILORI bacteria.I writing for antibiotic except penicillin because have allergy from that.I was in fire from inflammation because using since 8 years prev acid which is bad.Naw I trying to get out prev acid is very difficult.I have and hemorrhoids in and out .which antibiotic is the best for H-PILORI?
How come none of the doctors speak about some medication also causes reflex?
I have erosive esophagusis UCLA grade D, doctor said taking lifetime PPI. What can I do ?
Love this Dr.
Got acid reflux for the first time two months ago. Never smoked, never been overweight, never been pregnant. Had two negative blood and stool H. pylori tests. Had a normal upper GI result, apart from their detecting 'mild' acid reflux. Tried PPIs and natural meds. Nothing helps, except consuming lots of dairy, which I usually don't consume. :(
Test for SIBO via a lactulose breath test, also if you can find a clinic that does a Heidelberg pH test so you know with some empiricism that you have high acid, it'll be easier to move forward. If you have SIBO, you'll need antibiotics or anti microbial herbs and following the "bi-phasic" diet helps. If you just have high acid, following the acid watcher diet and using Heartburn Tx from Vital Nutrients is super helpfuls. DGL chewable tabs are great too. Oh, vitamin D, if you live in a cold cloudy place, you're deficient, 10,000 IU a day. Hope this helps!
@@danielmiller5521 there is no such a thing as high acid. It is extremely rare please stop using that word. 99% of acid reflux is low stomach acid and loose LES
@@swishyboi7444 I thought the same thing until I did the Heidelberg test and then followed protocols for LPR and SIBO. I’m getting better now.
Let me benign with the fact that I'm not representing any companies or trying to sell any products. I'm only a person that USED to have serious digestive issues and the usual things associated with it: bad breath, constant bloating, constipation, metal taste in my mouth etc.
I used to have really really bad heartburn. I accidentally came across a product called Zypan (made by StandardProcess). I never had a heartburn episode since I start taking it. Now I can eat anything I want (tomatoes, citrus fruits and cabbage stuff including ). Apparently Zypan has HCl in it. You can get heartburn if your stomach doesn't produce enough HCl and can't properly digest the food. Another product that really helped me and some of my family members that had the same problem is Apple Cider Vinegar pills. For me the American Health brand works the best. They usually come in 600mg/ serving. Good, proper digestion is so important to keep your body healthy.
So, such medicines are actually more dangerous than the disease itself.
my doctor gave me Apo Osomeprazole, I took two and stopped and he told me not to take any online advice ,,,,, I have been take a digestive enzyme and pro-biotic.....I was feeling much better and then I ate some spicy food which sent me spiralling back into bad episode of heartburn,,,,,,it is now mild sometimes when I eat....I don't know what to eat anymore and am so afraid to take the medications......help
I'm not sure if you drink alcohol or coffee or caffeine drinks if so stop those for a week and see how you feel
Porridge in the morning is very good against reflux
*>>>>The fact is, having the suitable food is one of the most important key that can help you to cure acid reflux.
I agree. When I eliminated offensive foods GERD was gone.
Hi joy can ew replY
I'd been on Omeprazole after an endoscopy for over a year and came off gradually then went onto Zantac and was off that this alst 2 weeks. I don't eat dairy or wheat, I don't have H Pylori or Cealiacs. I've been taking Chinese herbs, L-glutamine, Aloe Vera juice, Vitamin C and Calcium as well as eating a good diet and felt slightly better but today felt awful and ended up taking lansoprazole that doc prescribed and have stomach pain. Trying the natural approach again!
Wow what a great video, youve explained more to me in this video than my doctors has in YEARS!!, I thank you very much for the information. Could you please advise on which probiotic would be good, as i had a allergy blood test and the milk, wheat, eggs came back as high intolerance! I would appreciate if you could advise, but if not, thank you very very much for explaining in such detail, the causes of acid reflux, and dietry advice too! :0) thanks.
Myorlands,
Have you done a GI endonoscopy?...my distant relative passed away from esophageal cancer. I have GERD and will ask my doctor for a referral for an endonoscopy. He says I do not need it, but I am going to switch doctors if eventually I need one and I do not get my referral.
Kayla Nguyen Change your doctor!
A very dear friend of mine died from stomach cancer which had already metastasized by the time it was diagnosed. His imbecile of a G.P. had been treating his chronic, relentless acid reflux and stomach pains symptoms with repeat prescriptions of H2 receptor blocking drugs for TWO YEARS before referring him for any investigations - by which time it was too late.
Unfortunately he was a very gentle, trusting and unassertive man - as was his wife and it was not until he'd lost a considerable amount of weight and was passing malaena (black, tarry stools) that he eventualy insisted on an oesophago-gastro-duodenoscopy.
People can no longer rely on the integrity or efficiency of health care professionals and need to take control where their health is concerned.
Incidentally, in the meantime for symptom relief - squeeze the contents of half a fresh lemon into a glass, add about 50 -100mls of water and drink two to three times a day. Lemon is the only citrus fruit which converts to alkaline in your stomach and is a very effective and healthy way of controlling the symptoms of heartburn/acid reflux.
Bon Courage!
what if an individual has tried all that which I have, including yhe supplements?
just have to live with it.
the acid also affects teeth because it comes up through the throat.
I started Bragg's apple cider vinegar for severely acid reflux, i can't believe that it actually helps my reflux, i also chew some DGL licorice tabs.
I DC didnt make the connection between my depression and constant use of Prevacid.
I feel exhausted as a former heartburn patient thought I would die with heartburn
Until I discovered the 100 % natural therapy that improved my lifetime within 2 months, it is best to learn for your own here:

Best advice
You're wrong and you're hiding what GERD truly is and you're putting acid reflux and Gerd as if they are the same when they're not the same... I'm not an emotional person but it really hurts when people like you put out these videos and you don't address the differences from GERD and reflux.. Acid reflux is natural and will happen to people from time to time and that is what you are addressing and it's good advice to regular folks who are getting acid reflux after eating bad foods and drinking alcohol and coffee and just avoiding foods and drinks we didn't evolve with and a healthy eating life style will cure them from getting the burn and the pain BUT and it's a huge BUT,,, GERD IS A DISEASE AND IT'S CHRONIC AND NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO AND WHAT YOU EAT AND WHAT YOU DRINK, YOU'LL STILL GET ACID AND THE STRONG SALIVA TO BURN THE LOWER PART OF THE ESOPHAGUS AND SURE EATING BETTER AND STAYING AWAY FROM ALL THE BAD STUFF HELPS A BIT AND YET WE GERD SUFFERERS ARE IN PAIN 24/7 BECAUSE DURING A H HERNIA THE LES IS BLOWN WIDE OPEN AND IS FORCED TO STAY WIDE OPENED AND YOU START TO FEEL THE BURNING AND NOTHING YOU DO HELPS AND EVERYONE TELLS YOU TO TAKE ANTACIDS AND YOU GO SEE A DOCTOR AND HE PUTS YOU ON MEDS AND NOBODY EVER TELLS YOU THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE A HERNIA AND THEY DO AN ENDO PROCEDURE AND LOOK INSIDE YOUR STOMACH AND THEY DON'T FIND ANYTHING AND JUST GIVE YOU MEDS AND THE HEALTH CARE SYSTEM IS DOING IT ON PURPOSE AND THEY DON'T IMMEDIATELY TELL YOU THAT IT'S A HERNIA AND WHILE YOUR OFF DOING ALL THESE CRAZY WAYS OF TRYING TO FEEL BETTER, THE ACIDS ARE BURNING AWAY THE LINING OF THE ESOPHAGUS AND DESTROYING THE LES WHICH IS THE VALVE AND WHEN YOU FINALLY HAVE HAD ENOUGH AND YOU FEEL LIKE YOU CAN'T LIVE WITH THE BURN FOREVER, THEY SEND YOU FOR YOUR LAST ENDOSCOPY AND FIND THAT YOU HAVE A LOT OF DAMAGE IN YOUR ESOPHAGUS FROM THE YEARS OF DEALING WITH THE PAIN AND DOING STUPID THINGS LIKE THIS AND IT'S SO SO STUPID BECAUSE WHY DON'T NORMAL EVERYDAY PEOPLE THAT EAT AND DRINKING LIKE PIGS NEVER GET GERD AND YET THE PEOPLE THAT ARE EATING AND DRINKING ALL THESE HEALTHY THINGS YOU MENTIONED ARE STILL SUFFERING IN AGONY AND HOPELESS AND SICK AND TIRED OF BEING SICK AND TIRED AND GOING FROM DOCTOR TO DOCTOR AND FINALLY YOU GO FOR THE SURGERY AND THAT'S WHEN THEY UNCOVER THE HERNIA AND PULL IT BACK DOWN AND INSTEAD OF JUST PULLING THE HERNIA DOWN TO SEE IF MAYBE THINGS WILL GET BETTER BUT NO AND THEY WRAP THE STOMACH AROUND YOUR ESOPHAGUS NEVER EVEN TELLING YOU THAT YOU'LL NEVER BE ABLE TO THROW UP AND THAT'S A HUGE BIG DEAL AND NOT BEING ABLE TO THROW UP IS A HUGE HUGE PROBLEM AND IT CAN KILL YOU AND YET THE WRAP AND FIXING THE HERNIA DOESN'T WORK AND IT EVEN HURTS MORE IF YOU HAVE DAMAGE BECAUSE THEY BRING ALL THE DAMAGED EROSION TOGETHER AND TOUCHING EACH OTHER AND THE PAIN NOW IS 100 TIMES WORTH AND YOU THOUGHT YOU WERE GOING TO COME OUT OF IT FEELING SOME RELIEF BUT YOU ARE IN AGONY AND SO YOU GO UN WRAP IT AND YOU FIND THAT THERE IS NO ESCAPE AND BECAUSE THE LES MUSCLE VALVE IS COMPLETE NOT EVEN THERE AND JUST DOESN'T EVEN EXIST AND I DON'T GET HOW HARD IS IT FOR ANYONE TO FIGURE OUT THAT THE LES WAS DESTROYED BY THE HERNIA AND BY THE ACID AND IT JUST DOESN'T WORK ANYMORE AND THE LES SHOULD ALWAYS WORK AND IF IT DOESN'T, NOTHING CAN STOP AND YOU CAN EAT AND DRINKING THE HEALTHIEST FOODS IN THE WORLD BUT IT WON'T HELP BECAUSE ACID HAS TO EXIST AND STRONG SALIVA AND MILD BILE AND IT'S JUST SEVERE PAIN AND IT STARTS TO ATTACK YOUR NERVOUS SYSTEM AND YOU FEEL ANXIETY FROM THE PAIN AND YOU CAN RUN AND LOOSE WEIGHT AND NOT EAT BEFORE BED AND ELEVATE YOUR BED AND NOT SLEEP FOR TOO LONG AND IT STILL WON'T DO ANYTHING BECAUSE GRAVITY DOESN'T WORK AND ACID IS BEING MADE EVEN AT THE VERY TOP NEAR THE BROKEN LES AND IT WILL GET THE CELLS OF THE LOWER ESOPHAGUS AND CONSTANTLY HIT IT EVEN A LITTLE AND YOU HAVE CHRONIC PAIN AND THAT'S WHY IT'S CALLED GERD WHICH IS GASTRO ESOPHAGUS REFLUX DISEASE AND YOUR MISS LEADING PEOPLE AND THAT H. PYLORI HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH GERD AND THAT'S AN ENTIRE OTHER ISSUE AND HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE ESOPHAGUS AND THAT IS A DIFFERENT TOPIC AND THIS VIDEO IS A DISAPPOINTMENT AND IT'S TRASH AND I HAVE HAD GERD FOR 25 YEARS AND IT'S ACTUALLY INSULTING THAT YOU ASSUME TO THINK YOU CAN CURE GERD AND BELIEVE ME THAT WHEN YOU HAVE GERD, YOU'VE ALREADY TRIED EVERYTHING AND NOTHING WORKS.. EVEN GOING TO SLEEP ON AN EMPTY STOMACH IS ACTUALLY BAD BECAUSE THE ACID HAS NOTHING TO BIND TO AND SO THAT'S RETARDED AND YOU'RE HUNGRY AND NOTHING FEELS BETTER THAN GOING TO SLEEP WITH SOME FOOD TO GET YOU THROUGH THE NIGHT AND IT'S ALL BS AND YOU SHOULD MAKE A BETTER VIDEO AND NOT MISS LEAD INDIVIDUALS AND TELL THEM TO GO TELL THEIR DOCTORS IT'S A HERNIA AND TO LOOK FOR THAT BECAUSE 9 OUT OF 10 TIMES A HERNIA IS WHAT DESTROYS THE LES AND ONCE THE LES IS DESTROYED, YOU ARE LOOKING AT A PAINFUL LIFE AND YOU DEAL WITH THE PAIN ANYWAY YOU CAN BUT AT LEAST THE RIGHT INFO PUSHES FOR NEW TECHNOLOGIES AND IT WOULD BE SO EASY TO INSTALL AN ARTIFICIAL VALVE THAT CAN DETECT WHEN YOU'RE DONE EATING AND JUST CLOSE THE LOWER ESOPHAGUS AND WHEN YOU'RE GOING TO EAT, YOU CAN TURN IT ON AND JUST COME UP WITH A REAL SOLUTION AND NOT THIS HEALTHY BS THAT DOESN'T WORK ONCE YOUR LES IS GONE FOREVER AND THERE IS NO WAY YOU CAN REGROW YOUR LES..
George Giordano so sorry this happened to you..but thank you for the awarness
I am thinking of surgery, but after reading your story, I am hesitate.....
It wiuld have been nice to know few things which work for you instead of making us more depressed.
George berdino how are you now? What is your suggestion for people like ourselves? Should we take antacid or not?
Where is most of your pain? Is it in esophsgus ir stomach? Does not acid blockers help at all?
Thanks a lot
