They already know. Doctors only want to treat your symptoms, not your underlying condition or disease. THIS is how they make money. What most ppl don’t know is that there are legal drug dealers who show up at doctors offices to sell them on new medications. They ask the doctor to prescribe their patients THEIR meds instead of a competitors drugs, and when they prescribe a certain amount, they give the doctors a car, or free all expense paid trips for whole family to Europe, or many other expensive “gifts”. and all the Dr has to do is push these certain pills on the patients. Instead of the doctor actually looking to se what is causing the problem, it’s just easier to give them a pill for this and a pill for that. My stepfather was on over a dozen prescription pills. He just died at 67 yrs old.
It’s so brutal… I was on my PPI for years. My doctor told me to be on them for life. It’s unreal. Now, 3 weeks off I am suffering through this rebound, praying my reflux will stabilize over time. Tread lightly with the PPIs you guys.
Have you made an appointment with Dr Hyman for help!! Hope you get better soon! I never tried them as I knew all this beforehand but I’m on a journey now with it coming back after thinking I didn’t need some supplements I still need!!
@@CCitis I know how u feel..going off the PPI's is hell. It sucks that they have to be so bad for us. Because they dry out all the acid, it messes with digestion of food and absorption of nutrients..it put me in such a bad place, I quit them, but it was so awful dealing with acid and food regergeration I had to go back on. NOTHING besides PPI's work. 😔
Im from zimbabwe and have had heartburn for 7 years . Im 35 now . Iv been on ppi's and still struggling . Iv lost weight and hardly eat anything . Iv got a polyp in my upper stomache . Iv asked my doctor to get it removed and he said its nothing to worry about . Iv told him about low acid affecting the LES function and he said its nonsense. Iv been to 7 doctors including specialists and they all perscribe ppi's . Im losing this battle . Im weak all the time . I get sick very often . Im sad that my kids always see me ill . A good doctor who is willing to listen and try new things is a blessing .
The channel kick it naturally has a lot of gerd and digestion in general. Very well explained I hope something in this video or on that channel can help🤞
@@zeeshan1550 start taking Apple Cider Vinegar (5ml with a glass of water) 3 times daily on an empty stomach. I was on PPI for 6 weeks with no change. Now i have gone of it and switched to Apple Cider Vinegar.
Thank you for helping PEOPLE! This is how medical care should be! It's about Caring about The patient, not just about making money off them! 😍 Thank you for doing what is right! You help so many!!!!! Gratitude!!!😍
One things that I dont agree with is saying "once you know what to do its easy". Eating a restrictive diet is certainly not easy for everyone and can have other side effects that make you feel worse than just having reflux. I have tried all natural remedies for GERD and they generally always seem to make it worse. Giving up coffee and eating a low carb diet leads to a complete halt of all bowel motility for me and makes me feel lethargic and depressed. HCL and other things to increase stomach acid also seems to make my GERD and stomach pain worse (most any supplements do). Stress over restrictive dieting is actually also a huge trigger for my reflux as I feel tense and guilty that I cant control myself or do things right. These are just some thoughts on saying "treating this condition is easy". This can be a very emotional condition as food is not simply sustenance to all people but something to be shared and enjoyed-- not an easy thing to do when living with GERD and other digestive issues.
That's interesting. I had no trouble changing my diet and doing all of the things recommended here and elsewhere. Where I had trouble was actually getting better.
I had reflux for years, and took all kinds of prescription and non-prescription meds to deal with it. A year ago I eliminated all sugars and grains and starchy vegetables from my diet, and the reflux stopped within days. Just stopped. My chronic post-nasal drip also stopped. I've had heartburn a couple of times since then, due in both cases to eating something that was a little too spicy for me.
hello! i have post nasal drip as well and I wake up with a cough, cutting sugars, starchy vegetable and grains stopped your heart burn and acid reflux? did you ever experience any indigestion or constipation?
@@darkbloodgt6577 Low-carb/Keto. Meat, fish, poultry, eggs, liver, non-starchy vegetables, butter, olive oil, avocados. No sugar, no grains, no industrial seed oils such as corn, soybean, canola, flaxseed, etc.
@@20lounge I can't explain exactly my symptoms. I know that sometimes my stomach is picky and I can't eat anything, but when I start eating less carbs and avoiding sugar, it looks like my stomach gets better. Thanks for asking. But I wish there would be functional doctors anywhere in the world. Thanks for asking.
Controlled water intake is a game-changer. Newer more than half of the glass at the time, 30 min before or 1-2 hours after a meal. Combined with a low carb diet, and smaller but frequent meals gave me real relief and took me off 6 years of PPIs taking.
Right! They want you to spend money on suppliments at the least, to hundreds of dollars leading into thousands for appointments and labs, all of which most can't afford out of pocket
They do give solutions but a lot of us don't want to "hear" the solutions, i.e., give up coffee, chocolate, don't eat too close to bedtime, etc. We are all guilty of wanting a magic pill.
@morocco34 My problem is I'm dumb. They mention things within the video but they get lost among all the details. I struggle to pick them out. Especially since i tend to zone out cos I've heard the same whys and explanations of the physiology of the problem from dozens of other videos I've watched in an attempt to find out what to do to solve my problem. It was necessary at first now im just fed up.
To get rid of acid reflux or neutralize hyper-acidity in the stomach, try eating red apples. Red apple fruits are known to have alkaline properties which can neutralize acid. My wife and I, co-workers and friends used red apples to get rid of acid reflux.
I read years ago that NOT ENOUGH stomach acid caused depression.this was 30 yrs ago.i was severely depressed and actually found something with hydrochoric acid in it.I took it and it totally relieved my depression.i thought i had too much stomach acid but i DIDNT HAVE enough ! I just took a chance and it worked !
My little great granddaughter was prematurely born and it is a miracle that she is alive. They have given her all kinds of medications and done all kinds of treatments for her to survive. She only weighed 1 lb14 oz. when she was born. She has really bad acid reflex and gas. They have her on all kinds of antacids. The doctor say that this is the only thing that will work. When they take her off of it, she cries with excruciating pain. She has a tube in her stomach so they can feed her. Is there anything natural that can be done for this sweet little baby?It breaks my heart to see her in such pain when she’s off of the medication.
Sorry to know your baby condition. My heart goes with you.. I can only pray and ask God to heal her after reading the news. Hope she is much better by now.
Thank you so much for this great information on how to heal the acid reflect/heartburn due to the low stomach acid. Keep up the great work in educating the public worldwide on health and longevity.
Hi guys. I watched this video in the fall of last year and you advised me on the diet to take to get rid of my Gerd. I wanted to provide an update that natural healing works and I now have almost no symptoms from episodes 3 days a week at the time I was writing to you guys. Thank you so much! You guys are a godsend.
@@naribhabokshabong1522 I have not healed completely but I am now able to eat at a restaurant and have even introduced back foods like onions, some tomato, etc into my diet. I cut down on oil (red meat that is oily is a trigger for me) so no red meat, I cut out caffeine, eat my last main meal at 6 pm, only eat small quantities at a time, drink ginger root, when I am triggered bread and bananas and sweet potatoes calm the stomach. I dont eat Pizza or food with a lot of ingredients and most important I exercise both for psychological effects and to keep my weight healthy. I also started meditating because anxiety is a major cause. no garlic at all. It is a big trigger. no lemon or orange. no alcohol. I think that if you cut off the triggers, your body slowly heals and then you can intoduce some thigns back slowly.
I suffered from heart burn every day until i excluded coffee. Since then i almost never have a heart burn except probably from tomatoes but hard to part with those. Thanks a lot for the excellent podcasts Dr Hyman
The best treatment is cabbage juice with celery and parsley leaf in the early mornings before breakfast daily.also include cuachachalate with manuka honey during the day.stay away from sweets,greesy fried foods,coffee,salty foods.add veggies,fruits,eggs,salmon,fish,lean meats ive had just about all stomake issues i can see me relief.
A few weeks ago I started on a plant based diet. I stopped taking Pantiprazole after taking for 22 years. Never Have I had heartburn since starting my healthy way of eating.
This is great information. I have been suffering with a Hiatal Hernia/GERD Acid Reflux for about 12 years. I have lost weight, change my diet and I am still having problems. My doctor tells me to take acid reflux drugs and that's all. He has not talk to me about a solutions.
Mishawn! If your not on medication, try a glass of hot water from tap with 1/4 tps baking soda it will get rid of acid reflux in an instant. I' ve been doing this for years and it's natural. Enjoy your food, l do.
I just listened to those two doctors talk about acid reflux and it was a very interested conversation.I went to the emergency room and did a C T scan and the result was acid reflux I was told to take over the counter meds like an acid but it did not work I am in constant burning pain all over my stomach my last resort is to have a stool culture to check for and bacteria in the gout which I had 4 years ago .I will have that test done today.When you go to see your doctor and tell them what you have learn from you tube doctors they would tell you not to listen to those doctors but then again those doctors take the time to explain to you what is going on with in your body and I believe them.
I was on a PPI for 10 years along with prescription ulcer medication and using antacids as needed. Then I had a health crisis, went to a naturopath who titrated me off the PPI's. Started going Paleo and began using methylated multi vitamin along with HCl and other supplements. Also began psychotherapy, including trauma therapy and I have been off the PPI's and ulcer meds for over 4 years.
My Dr gave me Rabeprazole for over 20 years, without even asking me about it at any other visits! I heard all about the bad things related to them here on YT and knew I had to get off of them! I spoke to a Locum Dr (my own Dr had jumped ship as soon as Covid began!) and he advised me to take half the dose for 2 weeks, after that, apart from YT I was on my own. However, I think I’ve cracked it, unless I eat something my stomach doesn’t like, especially chocolate! Whether I’m doing it completely correct I don’t know, but I am so glad I made the move over a year ago! Many thanks indeed Drs for your advice.
Doctors these days are doing what they are trained to do do…..but not what they are supposed to do….that’s the saddest part….but doctors like you are absolutely rare to be seen these days…..you are amazing sir…..but I feel sad that you are not in my country…..
Todd is very knowledgeable ! I've been struggling with acid reflux and bloating for some years now and I wish I had doctors like these around to be able to try different approaches and figure out what is going on. Last time I went to the doctor here in New Zealand the guy didn't believe in SIBO as a real thing nor did he suggest any of these tests you've covered here. I guess I'll have to find ones that do by myself
I have been on nexium for 25ish years and was even close to death at one time because i could eat nothing, 31 kilos when i hit hospital, a little longer i would have died, and would have been happy to pass, i was suffering so much, 🎉they lied and said i had anorexia, after i had seen the professor again and again with digestive problems, i was extremely sick again in 2020 after a facelift where i was given intravenous antibiotics, after being close to death again, struggling to eat anything, i slowly recovered but i could never stop nexium because nothing else works to stop the burning; now a week ago i developed nausea, i am nauseaus all time and getting more heartburn, struggling to find foods i can eat, they took all the other less dangerous drugs off the market, its diabolical, i have never had ongoing nasea before so feel quite 😟 worried!🎉
Its a shame here in the UK functional doctors are hard to come by and out of most people's reach duw to cost. Videos like these help us try to be our own FM doctor and work out what's wrong. Feels like you're stabbing around in the dark and takes forever but hopefully will get there eventually 😕
I’m in the uk and after 20 years of PPI with a HH I’ve come off and done it myself. I was put on ppi at 23 when let’s just say I was a whiskey lover. The symptoms it went on to cause are horrendous. Apple cider vinegar diluted in water twice a day afternoon and before bed works for me. People have handed over responsibility for their health to profit making scum bags. It’s not a one shoe fits all but you can all do it with research and patience 👍
I only get heartburn when I have a cough and cold and drink too much plain water. I have only found a capful of apple cider vinegar diluted in water and sipping it to ease the pain gradually.
I have GERD and it is surely a lifestyle blocker condition. This is probably the best conversation I have heard on this. I wish I could find such a practitioner in my home town. The acid blockers do not work on me, and I have been asked to go on a low dose of antidepressants which I am not comfortable doing. I am still searching desperately for a solution 1 and a half year into this condition! Has anyone been asked to go on anti-depressant.
You need to know your triggers. Avoid sugar at all costs. It is the number 1 enemy. For a week, cook all your food in water only. In the morning get a bowl of oatmeal cooked in water. You can eat a banana as well with oatmeal. Do not drink and eat together. Keep 30 mins between eating and drinking. Yes, drink water only, no other drinks or beverages. Eat brown bread only. The food you can cook in water are carrots, beetroot, bottle gourd (if it's sour don't eat, should be sweet), pumpkin. The fruits you can have are bananas and papaya. I know it's looking tough to do but it will reduce all the inflammation caused by acid reflux within the body. Feel free to reply to my message.
@@abetterself4544 Thank you! I will start with these tips right away. ironically I used to not have sugar in my beverages and only started again recently so that is an easy fix to revert. Thanks again
@@Sofia-dl9vw It will take more than a week to start noticing some changes. Besides you can practice the Apana Vaayu Mudra. Search it on RUclips. You may also consider boiling some cumin seeds and have the water in the morning on empty stomach. The pain that you get from acid reflux is mostly from the inflammation caused by the problem. To heal yourself, you need to get rid of the inflammation. What are your symptoms if you don't mind me asking?
@@abetterself4544 my symptoms are heartburn, nausea, vomiting sometimes, excessive phlegm coming up my throat, coughing, sour taste in mouth and lack of appetite. I have followed the diet you mentioned in your post and my symptoms have reduced. The biggest secret has actually been not eating 3 to 4 hours before bed. That has made a huge difference. But the psychological impact has been the worst. My quality of life has really gone down.
@@Sofia-dl9vw I know it's hard, but you need to focus on getting better. You should train your mind to think that you are just fine. And also while you cook, put some positive thoughts in the cooking process. Say that the food you are cooking is like medicine. It will cure you. While you eat, you should love what you are eating. The food will make you lose some weight. But on a positive note, your inflammation will reduce considerably. Once the inflammation goes, the pain will go as well. Have you been practicing the mudra I mentioned? Also, eat slowly. Do not drink 30 mins before and after meals.
I’ve severe reflux and as my value from stomach doesn’t close had a fundiplication , huge op 6 1/2 hours on the table .. have been on nexium for years for excessive mucous . In fact when I was born , the dr told my mother he’d never seen such a mucousie baby .. it’s been a problem from birth , and I struggle with lots of food .. can’t have diary , have to eat very neutral . Learnt last year my fundiplication has loosened , was done in 2009 , it was great , so now it’s the thick mucous again . So my oesophagus is damaged .. pre cancerous . So find this very interesting , however so much I can’t eat . Don’t eat junk , lots of veges I can’t have , however need red meat as I constantly anemic ... born with that too .. premature baby . 1 month . So am aware mucous excessive is inflammation . I feel sick can nstantly , food in my mouth , when I bend over , has for years . Having. Babies made it worse .. look at low fodmap , even foods on there can’t have . Looking always for gluten free foods , if processed . Very small consumer of processed , drink heaps of eater . Still have issues
Focus on eating foods high in fiber, dont overeat and dont drink after a meal. Try drinking mineral water with magnesium about an hour after a meal. Salt your meat so you can drink. Fish for fiber wherever you can. Try to blend your veggies into a cream soup and just swallow it. you should do fine with zucchini, pumpkin and carrit soup, then slowly add broccoli. Use a little bit of tumeric and ginger in your soups and on red meat but make sure it is cooked with it. Majoran and cumin should also help. Dont eat or drink 2 hours before sleep. Make sure you dont consume a lots of protein at night. If you feel like you ate something that irritated you, take 3-4 almonds immediately. You should always soak them overnight and then dry them out. Eat foods high in fiber, chew your food thoroughly and as soon as you feel full, stop eating.
The food and acid are comming back because your stomach lining is irritated. Forget about the sphincter story. You need lots of fiber to flush it out down and that fiber should also be easily digestable so it doesnt sit for too long in your stomach.
Good evening Doctors, there’s so many different types of magnesium’s. I think it would be great when doctors mention to take magnesium they state which one. Depends on your symptoms. Or am I wrong?
If you’re struggling from GERD, Gaviscon Advance from the UK works extremely well. You can get it on Amazon in the liquid form. It has alginate which is a seaweed that forms a layer on the top of your stomach after eating. It’s worked wonders for me. Good luck
My Kaiser nutritionist isn’t promoting ensure but she is telling me to eat intuitively after I told her I have severe issues with sugar. Like I used to hide sweets and gorge on a whole bag of dried mangoes. I said I just wouldn’t eat cake and I wouldn’t partake in mangoes because I can’t control myself. She told me that’s ‘dieting’ and that’s bad. I’m sure intuitive eating works for some people but not people who are coming from a place of addiction. I was disappointed that even after I expressed I didn’t like the idea she still pushed it. Guess Kaiser only has one solution for the majority.
Dr Hyman is so in love with his own voice , he doesn’t allow the guest to talk. This along with constant commercial breaks , listening to these kind of podcasts is an exercise in patience.
I’ve been having acid reflux for a while and taking omeprazol I am off then and suddenly I had a sharp pain right side of the stomach I went to the ER and they didn’t find why they didn’t even give me something for the pain and no answer so because I was really concerned I started google anything related to my pain and find out that because I don’t have gallbladder the pain and all the symptoms are related because I don’t the bile, I am going to try bile salts to see if that help me. I never thought that I have to become my own dr because I don’t find a dr who really listened and want to help and is my life and I care about me and my health
Me too, I’m scared to go to the doctor, I been taking nexium for nearly 20 year , but all the doctors never ask me how I feel, the only thing good about this, is that the nexium it’s only 20 mg , but now I’m my only doctor myself, I take a lots of vitamins along with curcumin, apple cider vinegar, and one that you are not believe, cayenne pepper, yes cayenne pepper heals so much 1/4 teaspoon with 2 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar in a glass of water, I could have a little honey , but I don’t eat any sugar, I am doing keto diet, and all of this changes seems to work , next is going to be getting out of the nexium, but have to be very careful otherwise I will suffering withdrawals from the reflux with vengeance. Ok I hope this help you a bit. And I hope you understand my writing in English because it’s my second language, my first it’s Spanish. Good luck 🤞
Proton Pump Inhibitors frequently cause fungal infections as well. PS If I were to guess, I'm sure low stomach acid would increase the incidence of parasites.
What about osteoporosis? you know the stuff they have me on-the side effect is it can deplete in the blood calcium. They already had to change the PPI because of it and I think they monitor my thyroid to for good measure. I feel like an experiment. A few years ago, after a iridology reading, a lady at a natural health product store saw my stroke damage-but she got what I needed to get well again after months of tests and no definitive conclusion. I had lost 40 pounds and could not digest anything without diarrhea or vomiting for about 6 months right after eating. The bone diagnosis came after this. Now I'm in PT trying to get my back straightened out again. I just want as normal a life as I can. I am going to try better with the food's thing, coffee, tea and chocolate, that will be a hard one to conquer-but if I can eliminate a medication, the better for it.
I never had a problem with acid reflux until I started taking Zopiclone for insomnia. I was already on an antidepressant. Then I got diagnosed with bipolar disorder and started taking Seroquel, and then the avalanche of psychotropic drugs began. My GP prescribed rabeprazole, and when that stopped working, he started me on omeprazole. When I moved to a different province that was not covered by pharmacare, so then I started taking Zantac, but I had to keep increasing that too. Then Zantac got taken off the market and I started taking Nexium. Same deal. Now I take 3 Nexium capsules a day and that's not enough. Almost 3 years ago I fell at work and I broke my kneecap and shattered my tibial plateau. I'm pretty sure I have osteoporosis, but I also don't want to get esophageal cancer. So I really don't know what to do.
A little more then a year ago I didn't experience heartburn at all, but I was coughing, had a sore throat and a feeling that's was something stuck in my throat, so I thought I it was just a cold... So one time I ate alot before bed and I woke up because I couldn't breath, because there was a build up in my throat... (I didn't know at the time ) That scared the shit out of me... Went to A&E and they couldn't figure out what was wrong with me. Eventually my GP prescribed me PPIS, they didn't really help.. I had to figure out by myself that I had low acid due to stress.. Betaine HCL helps me know
That sounds familiar, probably had the same breath problems, chestpain and troath. and couldn't sleep so that was seriously effecting my health. How did you know yku had low stomach acid?
I've had a lump in my throat feeling over a year. My family Doctor told me it was anxiety related. Had me see 2 therapists for over 6 months, then an acupuncture person and guess what, lump in the throat still there. This is after a epidural and a lower GI scope showed no issues. Then had me see a Doctor for allergy testing to find that I'm not really allergic to anything, especially foods. So, I started playing with the meds my family Doctor had me on. One of which is omeprazole 80 mg 'per day for over a year. I dropped to 40 mg, then a week later dropped to 20 mg, then 20 mg every other day and thats when the heartburn came back on with a vengeance. I've started apple cider vinegar 3-4 x's per day. The acid reflux become minor once or twice a day, but I can't seem to stop the persistent coughing. I get the coughs and it's embarrassing when I'm with clients. I've began chewing gum when the coughs starts and it helps. Will this be like this forever? I don't know. I'm not sure if I've damaged my upper sphincter muscle. Due to Covid I lost my business and had to go to medicaid insurance. I've restarted a new business! Can you organization help me??? Please tell me what I should do. Thank you
You have silent reflux. The acid is going into your throat and sinuses. The omeprazole lowers the acidity of it so you dont feel it burn as much but the acid is still there and is damaging your throat. Specially at night when you are sleeping, there are many steps you must take to stop it, and it will take weeks for it to get better. Its not just acid but also pepsin gas that goes up when your burp and whatnot. You need alkaline 8.8ph+ water to gargle and clear your throat and maybe swallow a little bit to clear your esophagus. You should raise the head of your bed so your chest is on an incline and sleep on your left side. You also shouldnt eat anything 3 hours before sleeping. Avoid drinking water with your food as it will lower the acidity and make it stay longer in your stomach. Remove certain foods from your diet, such as coffee, alcohol, tomato, chocolate, mint, fatty foods, cured foods such as hams. If you do this you should feel better after a few weeks.
Do a deep tissue massage into the ribs and under ribs on both sides. Make sure to pull downward and massage abdominal region. Do this every day, you will feel very sore, however it will get better. Alot of time it is a muscle adhesion and fascia tension that needs to be released. Also, start deep breathing to expand the diaphragm daily. You will heal.
I been taken PPI for more then 15 years I started drinking this product called (Lilly of the desert stomach formula) I am not taken PPI anymore hopefully it stays that way.
So cholesterol rises when stress rises as a protective mechanism for chronic inflammation potentially caused by stress or some other chronic disease or chronic self poisoning ( bad food)
I have had Gerd, and reflux since 1968...I ate tums forever, Drs finally put me on PPI`s. I am now 72, still on omeprozol.. My Gerd has worsened, I have IBS, insomnia, I am scared to eat or drink anything. My throat burned so bad I drank milk for two days straight, threw up.. and now just sipping water... it's been 3 weeks, I'm starving, but...I ache all over, ankles, knees, ... my thumbs have no cushions, the pain is excruciating. I am an artist, ...!!! Just saw a new Dr. an internist/ rheumatologist , waiting for the results. Just found this... your talking about, old people , over medicated, I don't want all the medications , please, can anyone help me.
Yes I relate, I cannot stop them as the burning is intolerable, I cannot find d any answers, nothing works, I am too far gone, because have taken for 25 years or so, I am sick again, cannot eat much, pumpkin, peas, porridge, a little tofu but the burning persists, I am weak again and migraines; acupuncture helped last time, but how do I get off this killer drug? No-one addresses this, yet there must be others who are in my position; I cannot have anything that is fermented or even fruit now!
I'm disappointed to learn that you aren't accepting new clients at the moment! I had very strange and awful symptoms after my first endoscopy last week, and I'm 23. I couldn't breathe, my esophagus and chest hurt constantly, I struggled to drink water for days. Not to mention I have GERD, and I am on prescribed omeprazole. Tried to stop it and I had severe bile vomiting for days. I think I might have bacteria growth from my medication. Getting tested soon hopefully. This has been terrible
There is no info in the drop down more section below on how to get a virtual appt with your guest speaker. How do i get in touch with him for a virtual session?
I could really do with a functional doctor here in the UK if anyone knows of one! Currently working my way through all the GORD videos as I absolutely don't want to go back on PPIS and I'm suffering.
There is one near Norwich, Innate Centre, Roger Wood, he is a functional health practitioner and chiropractor rather than doctor. I haven't visited him yet but am thinking about it. Costs £400 for initial 60-90 minute consultation.
I really enjoyed this podcast. I am just like the example your guest talked about. On all the same meds. My GP gave me all these meds. I already have changed my diet. Still, I just started another antacid over the counter in addition to pantoprazole that I've been taking for years. I would really to get off the meds.
I had tried and tried to get off the reflux meds and suffer very bad. I am eating right ( keto) It gets so bad that it affects my asthma, throat & sinuses.
Acid reflux occurs when the sphincter muscle at the lower end of your esophagus relaxes at the wrong time, allowing stomach acid to back up into your esophagus. This can cause heartburn and other signs and symptoms👍
I just finished listening to this and I suffered from GERD for over a decade. I did know that having low acid can make things more complicated. I’ve been on PPI’s much longer than prescribed. I was now diagnosed with Osteoporosis PPI’s side effects. I stopped taking it. My problem is worst. Help
I wish I was able to find a doctor like you guys, got diagnosed with h.pylori mid September and was not told about PPIs causing rebound reflux so I took the triple therapy and when I quit I got rebound reflux, it has gotten better but I've been doing my own research on how to calm symptoms without taking antiacids or PPIs...
Same here. I was given Nexium to prevent stomach ulcer while I was on pain medication. I’ve developed a stomach ache and reflux. It lasted over a year. I want to see a doctor when I was tested positive for H. pylori. During the second round of antibiotics, they had me take another ppl medication. It was even worse. I had a stomach and abdominal pain and bloating. I struggled to finish seven days course of the medication. It have been in the few months. I still have a sour taste. I’m looking for solutions right now。
@@denisemartin3603 Most of the time it is, but some of us aren't that lucky, unfortunately my stomach issues stem from too many rounds of antibiotics prior to taking the ones for H.Pylori. If you take so many antibiotics it ruins your gut biome and then you have to build it back up.
@denisemartin3603 that is what they say. I had treatment in January still bed bound with severe reflux from the treatment. I now have Gord so bad, I have lost 20kg
Can psyllium husk (active ingredient in metamucil) cause gerds? I feel it gave me gerds as its the only new thing in my diet that I started 6 weeks ago. I stopped it a week ago, but symptoms persist
I believe me and my mum caught covid-19 back in March 2020. Every since then we have both have acid reflux. We have both tried everything. Taking medication, food we eat and it just does won't go away. It's horrible, it's there nearly all the time! :(
I got gastritis last year from COVID. I had to take Pepcid and PPI's for several months.. I have been drinking Kefur, taking probiotics, and digestive enzymes and I was able to titratee off the acidblockers. I am trying to take a 30 min. walk after supper.
Look int mast cell disorder, Gerds is a symptom, a lot of people on covid long hauler groups now suffer with mast cell issues, Facebook has amazing support groups
My symptoms got worse last. I have nodules on my vocal chords from always yelling and talking, but last year I would drink a lot of the powdered vitamin c drinks because of covid and every time I would get a sore throat. I think this is where I got the acid reflux problem from. We’ve gotta be careful of that stuff
Everyone in the medical community should be made to watch this video!👍😁
Then they wouldn't make $$$.
They already know. Doctors only want to treat your symptoms, not your underlying condition or disease. THIS is how they make money. What most ppl don’t know is that there are legal drug dealers who show up at doctors offices to sell them on new medications. They ask the doctor to prescribe their patients THEIR meds instead of a competitors drugs, and when they prescribe a certain amount, they give the doctors a car, or free all expense paid trips for whole family to Europe, or many other expensive “gifts”. and all the Dr has to do is push these certain pills on the patients. Instead of the doctor actually looking to se what is causing the problem, it’s just easier to give them a pill for this and a pill for that. My stepfather was on over a dozen prescription pills. He just died at 67 yrs old.
It’s so brutal… I was on my PPI for years. My doctor told me to be on them for life. It’s unreal. Now, 3 weeks off I am suffering through this rebound, praying my reflux will stabilize over time. Tread lightly with the PPIs you guys.
Have you made an appointment with Dr Hyman for help!! Hope you get better soon! I never tried them as I knew all this beforehand but I’m on a journey now with it coming back after thinking I didn’t need some supplements I still need!!
Take betaine hydrochloride. Or mastic gum supplements. They’re great for that
My grandma always drank 1 tsp. baking soda with water when she had heartburn. She lived to 101 years old. Not sure if those two were connected.
Btw it didn’t work. Back on the PPI. Life was miserable off them.
@@CCitis I know how u feel..going off the PPI's is hell. It sucks that they have to be so bad for us. Because they dry out all the acid, it messes with digestion of food and absorption of nutrients..it put me in such a bad place, I quit them, but it was so awful dealing with acid and food regergeration I had to go back on. NOTHING besides PPI's work. 😔
All I can say is thank you, I’m on my journey of eliminating acid reflux
This is bothering me so much it's too years now
Im from zimbabwe and have had heartburn for 7 years . Im 35 now . Iv been on ppi's and still struggling . Iv lost weight and hardly eat anything . Iv got a polyp in my upper stomache . Iv asked my doctor to get it removed and he said its nothing to worry about . Iv told him about low acid affecting the LES function and he said its nonsense. Iv been to 7 doctors including specialists and they all perscribe ppi's . Im losing this battle . Im weak all the time . I get sick very often . Im sad that my kids always see me ill .
A good doctor who is willing to listen and try new things is a blessing .
bro same here i m 29 struggling with gerd cannot eat any thing from 86 kg now my weight is 68 kg
The channel kick it naturally has a lot of gerd and digestion in general. Very well explained
I hope something in this video or on that channel can help🤞
Do you have hiatial hernia? Then PPI won’t help. Because part of the stomach is too far up. And maybe your acid is too low.
@@zeeshan1550 start taking Apple Cider Vinegar (5ml with a glass of water) 3 times daily on an empty stomach. I was on PPI for 6 weeks with no change. Now i have gone of it and switched to Apple Cider Vinegar.

You help so many!!!!! Gratitude!!!😍
One things that I dont agree with is saying "once you know what to do its easy". Eating a restrictive diet is certainly not easy for everyone and can have other side effects that make you feel worse than just having reflux. I have tried all natural remedies for GERD and they generally always seem to make it worse. Giving up coffee and eating a low carb diet leads to a complete halt of all bowel motility for me and makes me feel lethargic and depressed. HCL and other things to increase stomach acid also seems to make my GERD and stomach pain worse (most any supplements do). Stress over restrictive dieting is actually also a huge trigger for my reflux as I feel tense and guilty that I cant control myself or do things right. These are just some thoughts on saying "treating this condition is easy". This can be a very emotional condition as food is not simply sustenance to all people but something to be shared and enjoyed-- not an easy thing to do when living with GERD and other digestive issues.
Hey did anything help you?
That's interesting. I had no trouble changing my diet and doing all of the things recommended here and elsewhere. Where I had trouble was actually getting better.
Once again, this should be mandatory viewing.
I just share this video with my daughter who is suffering with a bad case of acid reflux… Thank you

I had reflux for years, and took all kinds of prescription and non-prescription meds to deal with it. A year ago I eliminated all sugars and grains and starchy vegetables from my diet, and the reflux stopped within days. Just stopped. My chronic post-nasal drip also stopped. I've had heartburn a couple of times since then, due in both cases to eating something that was a little too spicy for me.
Most definitely sugar creates reflux.
hello! i have post nasal drip as well and I wake up with a cough, cutting sugars, starchy vegetable and grains stopped your heart burn and acid reflux? did you ever experience any indigestion or constipation?

I know that sometimes my stomach is picky and I can't eat anything, but when I start eating less carbs and avoiding sugar, it looks like my stomach gets better. Thanks for asking. But I wish there would be functional doctors anywhere in the world. Thanks for asking.
Controlled water intake is a game-changer. Newer more than half of the glass at the time, 30 min before or 1-2 hours after a meal. Combined with a low carb diet, and smaller but frequent meals gave me real relief and took me off 6 years of PPIs taking.

Like always these kinds of videos explain the problem and why we shouldn’t take PPIs but never give a concrete solution
Right! They want you to spend money on suppliments at the least, to hundreds of dollars leading into thousands for appointments and labs, all of which most can't afford out of pocket
They do give solutions but a lot of us don't want to "hear" the solutions, i.e., give up coffee, chocolate, don't eat too close to bedtime, etc. We are all guilty of wanting a magic pill.

Especially since i tend to zone out cos I've heard the same whys and explanations of the physiology of the problem from dozens of other videos I've watched in an attempt to find out what to do to solve my problem. It was necessary at first now im just fed up.
To get rid of acid reflux or neutralize hyper-acidity in the stomach, try eating red apples. Red apple fruits are known to have alkaline properties which can neutralize acid. My wife and I, co-workers and friends used red apples to get rid of acid reflux.

My little great granddaughter was prematurely born and it is a miracle that she is alive. They have given her all kinds of medications and done all kinds of treatments for her to survive. She only weighed 1 lb14 oz. when she was born. She has really bad acid reflex and gas. They have her on all kinds of antacids. The doctor say that this is the only thing that will work. When they take her off of it, she cries with excruciating pain. She has a tube in her stomach so they can feed her. Is there anything natural that can be done for this sweet little baby?It breaks my heart to see her in such pain when she’s off of the medication.
Sorry to know your baby condition. My heart goes with you.. I can only pray and ask God to heal her after reading the news. Hope she is much better by now.
I will pray for your grand daughter.
Sorry to hear your little one go through tough time, I will pray for your child to be totally healed in Jesus mighty powerful name. Amen 🙏🏼🙏🏼

@@naribhabokshabong1522 I have not healed completely but I am now able to eat at a restaurant and have even introduced back foods like onions, some tomato, etc into my diet. I cut down on oil (red meat that is oily is a trigger for me) so no red meat, I cut out caffeine, eat my last main meal at 6 pm, only eat small quantities at a time, drink ginger root, when I am triggered bread and bananas and sweet potatoes calm the stomach. I dont eat Pizza or food with a lot of ingredients and most important I exercise both for psychological effects and to keep my weight healthy. I also started meditating because anxiety is a major cause. no garlic at all. It is a big trigger. no lemon or orange. no alcohol.

Drinking a fiber rich smoothie has been helping my acid reflux. The fiber has been absorbing a lot of the acid juice.
This is great information. I have been suffering with a Hiatal Hernia/GERD Acid Reflux for about 12 years. I have lost weight, change my diet and I am still having problems. My doctor tells me to take acid reflux drugs and that's all. He has not talk to me about a solutions.
can you get the hernia repaired? Have you tried the suggestions in this interview?
Mishawn! If your not on medication, try a glass of hot water from tap with 1/4 tps baking soda it will get rid of acid reflux in an instant. I' ve been doing this for years and it's natural. Enjoy your food, l do.
Same for me exactly. I’m very frustrated.
I just listened to those two doctors talk about acid reflux and it was a very interested conversation.I went to the emergency room and did a C T scan and the result was acid reflux I was told to take over the counter meds like an acid but it did not work I am in constant burning pain all over my stomach my last resort is to have a stool culture to check for and bacteria in the gout which I had 4 years ago .I will have that test done today.When you go to see your doctor and tell them what you have learn from you tube doctors they would tell you not to listen to those doctors but then again those doctors take the time to explain to you what is going on with in your body and I believe them.
So how are you doing? What did they find?
I was on a PPI for 10 years along with prescription ulcer medication and using antacids as needed. Then I had a health crisis, went to a naturopath who titrated me off the PPI's. Started going Paleo and began using methylated multi vitamin along with HCl and other supplements. Also began psychotherapy, including trauma therapy and I have been off the PPI's and ulcer meds for over 4 years.

My Dr gave me Rabeprazole for over 20 years, without even asking me about it at any other visits! I heard all about the bad things related to them here on YT and knew I had to get off of them! I spoke to a Locum Dr (my own Dr had jumped ship as soon as Covid began!) and he advised me to take half the dose for 2 weeks, after that, apart from YT I was on my own. However, I think I’ve cracked it, unless I eat something my stomach doesn’t like, especially chocolate! Whether I’m doing it completely correct I don’t know, but I am so glad I made the move over a year ago! Many thanks indeed Drs for your advice.

I’m curious what the Doctors know about laryngeal reflux and if it has the same solutions.
In general, we tend to over eat and under poop. The septic system has only one way to go if we are constipated, and that's back up the tube ...
Todd is very knowledgeable ! I've been struggling with acid reflux and bloating for some years now and I wish I had doctors like these around to be able to try different approaches and figure out what is going on. Last time I went to the doctor here in New Zealand the guy didn't believe in SIBO as a real thing nor did he suggest any of these tests you've covered here. I guess I'll have to find ones that do by myself
What do you do if you have hiatal hernia and have reflux due to that?

Its a shame here in the UK functional doctors are hard to come by and out of most people's reach duw to cost. Videos like these help us try to be our own FM doctor and work out what's wrong. Feels like you're stabbing around in the dark and takes forever but hopefully will get there eventually 😕
Same here in Canada! 😢
I’m in the uk and after 20 years of PPI with a HH I’ve come off and done it myself. I was put on ppi at 23 when let’s just say I was a whiskey lover. The symptoms it went on to cause are horrendous. Apple cider vinegar diluted in water twice a day afternoon and before bed works for me. People have handed over responsibility for their health to profit making scum bags. It’s not a one shoe fits all but you can all do it with research and patience 👍
Not to mention how expensive they are. Like thousands. Who has that kind of money.
How about Barretts esophagus sufferers like myself and the many other's who have brought Barretts up in comments.
I only get heartburn when I have a cough and cold and drink too much plain water. I have only found a capful of apple cider vinegar diluted in water and sipping it to ease the pain gradually.
You need to talk about how ppi's kill the production of nitric oxide too ...

You need to know your triggers. Avoid sugar at all costs. It is the number 1 enemy. For a week, cook all your food in water only. In the morning get a bowl of oatmeal cooked in water. You can eat a banana as well with oatmeal. Do not drink and eat together. Keep 30 mins between eating and drinking. Yes, drink water only, no other drinks or beverages. Eat brown bread only. The food you can cook in water are carrots, beetroot, bottle gourd (if it's sour don't eat, should be sweet), pumpkin. The fruits you can have are bananas and papaya. I know it's looking tough to do but it will reduce all the inflammation caused by acid reflux within the body. Feel free to reply to my message.
@@abetterself4544 Thank you! I will start with these tips right away. ironically I used to not have sugar in my beverages and only started again recently so that is an easy fix to revert. Thanks again
@@Sofia-dl9vw It will take more than a week to start noticing some changes. Besides you can practice the Apana Vaayu Mudra. Search it on RUclips. You may also consider boiling some cumin seeds and have the water in the morning on empty stomach. The pain that you get from acid reflux is mostly from the inflammation caused by the problem. To heal yourself, you need to get rid of the inflammation. What are your symptoms if you don't mind me asking?
@@abetterself4544 my symptoms are heartburn, nausea, vomiting sometimes, excessive phlegm coming up my throat, coughing, sour taste in mouth and lack of appetite. I have followed the diet you mentioned in your post and my symptoms have reduced. The biggest secret has actually been not eating 3 to 4 hours before bed. That has made a huge difference. But the psychological impact has been the worst. My quality of life has really gone down.
@@Sofia-dl9vw I know it's hard, but you need to focus on getting better. You should train your mind to think that you are just fine. And also while you cook, put some positive thoughts in the cooking process. Say that the food you are cooking is like medicine. It will cure you. While you eat, you should love what you are eating. The food will make you lose some weight. But on a positive note, your inflammation will reduce considerably. Once the inflammation goes, the pain will go as well. Have you been practicing the mudra I mentioned? Also, eat slowly. Do not drink 30 mins before and after meals.
I’ve severe reflux and as my value from stomach doesn’t close had a fundiplication , huge op 6 1/2 hours on the table .. have been on nexium for years for excessive mucous . In fact when I was born , the dr told my mother he’d never seen such a mucousie baby .. it’s been a problem from birth , and I struggle with lots of food .. can’t have diary , have to eat very neutral . Learnt last year my fundiplication has loosened , was done in 2009 , it was great , so now it’s the thick mucous again . So my oesophagus is damaged .. pre cancerous . So find this very interesting , however so much I can’t eat . Don’t eat junk , lots of veges I can’t have , however need red meat as I constantly anemic ... born with that too .. premature baby . 1 month . So am aware mucous excessive is inflammation . I feel sick can nstantly , food in my mouth , when I bend over , has for years . Having. Babies made it worse .. look at low fodmap , even foods on there can’t have . Looking always for gluten free foods , if processed . Very small consumer of processed , drink heaps of eater . Still have issues
Focus on eating foods high in fiber, dont overeat and dont drink after a meal. Try drinking mineral water with magnesium about an hour after a meal. Salt your meat so you can drink. Fish for fiber wherever you can. Try to blend your veggies into a cream soup and just swallow it. you should do fine with zucchini, pumpkin and carrit soup, then slowly add broccoli. Use a little bit of tumeric and ginger in your soups and on red meat but make sure it is cooked with it. Majoran and cumin should also help. Dont eat or drink 2 hours before sleep. Make sure you dont consume a lots of protein at night. If you feel like you ate something that irritated you, take 3-4 almonds immediately. You should always soak them overnight and then dry them out. Eat foods high in fiber, chew your food thoroughly and as soon as you feel full, stop eating.
The food and acid are comming back because your stomach lining is irritated. Forget about the sphincter story. You need lots of fiber to flush it out down and that fiber should also be easily digestable so it doesnt sit for too long in your stomach.

My Kaiser nutritionist isn’t promoting ensure but she is telling me to eat intuitively after I told her I have severe issues with sugar. Like I used to hide sweets and gorge on a whole bag of dried mangoes. I said I just wouldn’t eat cake and I wouldn’t partake in mangoes because I can’t control myself. She told me that’s ‘dieting’ and that’s bad. I’m sure intuitive eating works for some people but not people who are coming from a place of addiction. I was disappointed that even after I expressed I didn’t like the idea she still pushed it. Guess Kaiser only has one solution for the majority.

I’ve been having acid reflux for a while and taking omeprazol I am off then and suddenly I had a sharp pain right side of the stomach I went to the ER and they didn’t find why they didn’t even give me something for the pain and no answer so because I was really concerned I started google anything related to my pain and find out that because I don’t have gallbladder the pain and all the symptoms are related because I don’t the bile, I am going to try bile salts to see if that help me. I never thought that I have to become my own dr because I don’t find a dr who really listened and want to help and is my life and I care about me and my health
Me too, I’m scared to go to the doctor, I been taking nexium for nearly 20 year , but all the doctors never ask me how I feel, the only thing good about this, is that the nexium it’s only 20 mg , but now I’m my only doctor myself, I take a lots of vitamins along with curcumin, apple cider vinegar, and one that you are not believe, cayenne pepper, yes cayenne pepper heals so much 1/4 teaspoon with 2 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar in a glass of water, I could have a little honey , but I don’t eat any sugar, I am doing keto diet, and all of this changes seems to work , next is going to be getting out of the nexium, but have to be very careful otherwise I will suffering withdrawals from the reflux with vengeance. Ok I hope this help you a bit. And I hope you understand my writing in English because it’s my second language, my first it’s Spanish. Good luck 🤞

What about osteoporosis? you know the stuff they have me on-the side effect is it can deplete in the blood calcium. They already had to change the PPI because of it and I think they monitor my thyroid to for good measure. I feel like an experiment. A few years ago, after a iridology reading, a lady at a natural health product store saw my stroke damage-but she got what I needed to get well again after months of tests and no definitive conclusion. I had lost 40 pounds and could not digest anything without diarrhea or vomiting for about 6 months right after eating. The bone diagnosis came after this. Now I'm in PT trying to get my back straightened out again. I just want as normal a life as I can. I am going to try better with the food's thing, coffee, tea and chocolate, that will be a hard one to conquer-but if I can eliminate a medication, the better for it.
I never had a problem with acid reflux until I started taking Zopiclone for insomnia. I was already on an antidepressant. Then I got diagnosed with bipolar disorder and started taking Seroquel, and then the avalanche of psychotropic drugs began. My GP prescribed rabeprazole, and when that stopped working, he started me on omeprazole. When I moved to a different province that was not covered by pharmacare, so then I started taking Zantac, but I had to keep increasing that too. Then Zantac got taken off the market and I started taking Nexium. Same deal. Now I take 3 Nexium capsules a day and that's not enough. Almost 3 years ago I fell at work and I broke my kneecap and shattered my tibial plateau. I'm pretty sure I have osteoporosis, but I also don't want to get esophageal cancer. So I really don't know what to do.
A little more then a year ago I didn't experience heartburn at all, but I was coughing, had a sore throat and a feeling that's was something stuck in my throat, so I thought I it was just a cold... So one time I ate alot before bed and I woke up because I couldn't breath, because there was a build up in my throat... (I didn't know at the time ) That scared the shit out of me... Went to A&E and they couldn't figure out what was wrong with me. Eventually my GP prescribed me PPIS, they didn't really help.. I had to figure out by myself that I had low acid due to stress.. Betaine HCL helps me know
I have low acid and ACV is the CURE for me I’m going to research Betaine
That sounds familiar, probably had the same breath problems, chestpain and troath. and couldn't sleep so that was seriously effecting my health. How did you know yku had low stomach acid?

I've had a lump in my throat feeling over a year. My family Doctor told me it was anxiety related. Had me see 2 therapists for over 6 months, then an acupuncture person and guess what, lump in the throat still there. This is after a epidural and a lower GI scope showed no issues. Then had me see a Doctor for allergy testing to find that I'm not really allergic to anything, especially foods. So, I started playing with the meds my family Doctor had me on. One of which is omeprazole 80 mg 'per day for over a year. I dropped to 40 mg, then a week later dropped to 20 mg, then 20 mg every other day and thats when the heartburn came back on with a vengeance. I've started apple cider vinegar 3-4 x's per day. The acid reflux become minor once or twice a day, but I can't seem to stop the persistent coughing. I get the coughs and it's embarrassing when I'm with clients. I've began chewing gum when the coughs starts and it helps. Will this be like this forever? I don't know. I'm not sure if I've damaged my upper sphincter muscle. Due to Covid I lost my business and had to go to medicaid insurance. I've restarted a new business! Can you organization help me??? Please tell me what I should do.
Thank you
You have silent reflux. The acid is going into your throat and sinuses. The omeprazole lowers the acidity of it so you dont feel it burn as much but the acid is still there and is damaging your throat. Specially at night when you are sleeping, there are many steps you must take to stop it, and it will take weeks for it to get better. Its not just acid but also pepsin gas that goes up when your burp and whatnot. You need alkaline 8.8ph+ water to gargle and clear your throat and maybe swallow a little bit to clear your esophagus. You should raise the head of your bed so your chest is on an incline and sleep on your left side. You also shouldnt eat anything 3 hours before sleeping. Avoid drinking water with your food as it will lower the acidity and make it stay longer in your stomach. Remove certain foods from your diet, such as coffee, alcohol, tomato, chocolate, mint, fatty foods, cured foods such as hams. If you do this you should feel better after a few weeks.

Thank you for the great advice! Can you tell me where I could get the alkaline water?

@ken Avery
how's ur condition now ? What's the status of your gerd?is it still there?
Do a deep tissue massage into the ribs and under ribs on both sides. Make sure to pull downward and massage abdominal region. Do this every day, you will feel very sore, however it will get better. Alot of time it is a muscle adhesion and fascia tension that needs to be released. Also, start deep breathing to expand the diaphragm daily. You will heal.
What do you recommend for people with a Hital hernia? When mine was found, I was recommended to stay on PPI's.
I been taken PPI for more then 15 years I started drinking this product called (Lilly of the desert stomach formula) I am not taken PPI anymore hopefully it stays that way.
How are you now?
diet of course , people eat way 2 much .
Thank you Doctors, this was very informative! I'm thinking to contact you from Italy
So cholesterol rises when stress rises as a protective mechanism for chronic inflammation potentially caused by stress or some other chronic disease or chronic self poisoning ( bad food)
Well, I get heartburn so bad I can't even eat normally so I don't overeat and still get symptoms. I can't even eat anymore! 😭😭😭
Try Peptiva +pro digest and probiotics
So how r u now
Try HCl betaine!!!
Excellent information, thank you!
I hope you can also discuss diet/s good for having hiatal hernia and diveticulitis Dr. Mark 😇
Great video. I am located in Texas. I would like of course to have virtual meeting. What is the cost involved?
I have had Gerd, and reflux since 1968...I ate tums forever, Drs finally put me on PPI`s. I am now 72, still on omeprozol.. My Gerd has worsened, I have IBS, insomnia, I am scared to eat or drink anything. My throat burned so bad I drank milk for two days straight, threw up.. and now just sipping water... it's been 3 weeks, I'm starving, but...I ache all over, ankles, knees, ... my thumbs have no cushions, the pain is excruciating. I am an artist, ...!!! Just saw a new Dr. an internist/ rheumatologist , waiting for the results. Just found this... your talking about, old people , over medicated, I don't want all the medications , please, can anyone help me.
Dr. Robert Morse. Stated it is caused by an Acidosis Diet. Watch his Videos here on U Tube. The Lymphatic System is Stagnated
Look up Fast Tract diet or even carnivore diet, Ken Berry has great videos on RUclips
Yes I relate, I cannot stop them as the burning is intolerable, I cannot find d any answers, nothing works, I am too far gone, because have taken for 25 years or so, I am sick again, cannot eat much, pumpkin, peas, porridge, a little tofu but the burning persists, I am weak again and migraines; acupuncture helped last time, but how do I get off this killer drug? No-one addresses this, yet there must be others who are in my position; I cannot have anything that is fermented or even fruit now!
i have hiatal hernia and been suffering since. 3 years now and i dont like my life. Ill make it up next life.
I think modern diets has led to this - particularly processed sugar
I'm disappointed to learn that you aren't accepting new clients at the moment! I had very strange and awful symptoms after my first endoscopy last week, and I'm 23. I couldn't breathe, my esophagus and chest hurt constantly, I struggled to drink water for days. Not to mention I have GERD, and I am on prescribed omeprazole. Tried to stop it and I had severe bile vomiting for days. I think I might have bacteria growth from my medication. Getting tested soon hopefully. This has been terrible
How are you now? , I'm 23 too and diagnosed with GERD , I'm on ppIS ..... Even after medication, I'm having chest burn .
There is no info in the drop down more section below on how to get a virtual appt with your guest speaker. How do i get in touch with him for a virtual session?
I could really do with a functional doctor here in the UK if anyone knows of one!
Currently working my way through all the GORD videos as I absolutely don't want to go back on PPIS and I'm suffering.
There is one near Norwich, Innate Centre, Roger Wood, he is a functional health practitioner and chiropractor rather than doctor. I haven't visited him yet but am thinking about it. Costs £400 for initial 60-90 minute consultation.
I really enjoyed this podcast. I am just like the example your guest talked about. On all the same meds.
My GP gave me all these meds.
I already have changed my diet. Still, I just started another antacid over the counter in addition to pantoprazole that I've been taking for years. I would really to get off the meds.
Try sauerkraut with meals.
I am suffering,last year i did tonsillectomy and i was taking antibiotics, my problem started...everyday sore throat
I had tried and tried to get off the reflux meds and suffer very bad.
I am eating right ( keto)
It gets so bad that it affects my asthma, throat & sinuses.
Did you find a treatment yet.?
Same problems! HCl betaine fixed me immediately
I do very well most of the time, but recently I am having pain just below my ribs on the left. With bloating. Any clue?
So glad I watched. It will make a difference in my health. Thank you
Acid reflux occurs when the sphincter muscle at the lower end of your esophagus relaxes at the wrong time, allowing stomach acid to back up into your esophagus. This can cause heartburn and other signs and symptoms👍
Does cacao powder cause the LES to relax, sometimes inducing acid reflux?
Ok, thanks but what causes it?
@@peterkuskis3825 yes!!!!
@@pircello a lot of foods....chocolate, caffeine, a hernia!!!! Google it!!!
@@khananme I read it somewhere in a google search and wonder if it contributed to my acid reflux issues.
How to contact Dr. Hyman RE a possible virtual appointment? Hope you do read your mail, Dr., thank you.
While watching iam suffering from chronic acid reflux
Useful information doctor thanks
Wow abundant Gas farts come from lack of Stomach acid? Wow I've just started a cup of Cranberry juice and Apple Vinegar drinking every other day.
Is Gerd and acid reflux the same. I get a feeling of like a lump in between my breast bone.
Use Sea Salt and warm water and giggle with it daily , tell your throat feel better.
avoid dairy , gluten , bread , and much more .
I get the same and most times, it feels like bubbles going up and down in my stomach and a choking feeling also constantly burping!
I am completely confused. I believe I have LPR. The experts say "take high pH water with bi-carb soda," then they say "Drink apple cider vinegar." ???
I just finished listening to this and I suffered from GERD for over a decade. I did know that having low acid can make things more complicated. I’ve been on PPI’s much longer than prescribed. I was now diagnosed with Osteoporosis PPI’s side effects. I stopped taking it. My problem is worst. Help
I wish I was able to find a doctor like you guys, got diagnosed with h.pylori mid September and was not told about PPIs causing rebound reflux so I took the triple therapy and when I quit I got rebound reflux, it has gotten better but I've been doing my own research on how to calm symptoms without taking antiacids or PPIs...
My husband is having similar issues now. I gave him kudzu root capsules, it seems to be helping.
Same here. I was given Nexium to prevent stomach ulcer while I was on pain medication. I’ve developed a stomach ache and reflux. It lasted over a year. I want to see a doctor when I was tested positive for H. pylori. During the second round of antibiotics, they had me take another ppl medication. It was even worse. I had a stomach and abdominal pain and bloating. I struggled to finish seven days course of the medication. It have been in the few months. I still have a sour taste. I’m looking for solutions right now。
I thought it was easily treated with antibiotics?
@@denisemartin3603 Most of the time it is, but some of us aren't that lucky, unfortunately my stomach issues stem from too many rounds of antibiotics prior to taking the ones for H.Pylori. If you take so many antibiotics it ruins your gut biome and then you have to build it back up.
@denisemartin3603 that is what they say. I had treatment in January still bed bound with severe reflux from the treatment. I now have Gord so bad, I have lost 20kg
Can psyllium husk (active ingredient in metamucil) cause gerds? I feel it gave me gerds as its the only new thing in my diet that I started 6 weeks ago. I stopped it a week ago, but symptoms persist
I believe me and my mum caught covid-19 back in March 2020. Every since then we have both have acid reflux. We have both tried everything. Taking medication, food we eat and it just does won't go away. It's horrible, it's there nearly all the time! :(
The Covidlonghaulers are living with heartburn now
I got gastritis last year from COVID. I had to take Pepcid and PPI's for several months.. I have been drinking Kefur, taking probiotics, and digestive enzymes and I was able to titratee off the acidblockers. I am trying to take a 30 min. walk after supper.
Same here
Look int mast cell disorder, Gerds is a symptom, a lot of people on covid long hauler groups now suffer with mast cell issues, Facebook has amazing support groups
My symptoms got worse last. I have nodules on my vocal chords from always yelling and talking, but last year I would drink a lot of the powdered vitamin c drinks because of covid and every time I would get a sore throat. I think this is where I got the acid reflux problem from. We’ve gotta be careful of that stuff
