Video. Dealing with this problem and wanted ideas to lesson my situation. Have reflux one year. Taking meds. But hope with this help I can lesson the times I have attacks.
I found that PPI’s caused MASSIVE bloating which increased my abd pressure thus exacerbating GERD. Actually caused layngitis which led to constant coughing and post nasal drip. Just a horrible cycle. My treatment plan was: Sinus rinse BID small portions with frequent meals Bland diet (oatmeal, eggs, rice porridge) Sleep sitting Zofran prn Albuterol inhaler prn Tessalon pearls q8hrs Flonase nasal spray daily It was rough figuring out what worked/didn’t work. Hope this helps someone.
Best explanation i have seen on how GERD happens, and the mechanism of action for different classes of (dangerous) drugs. Also good reminders to chew food thoroughly and eat smaller meals.
3 weeks off my PPI. Had been on it for almost 4 years. Doctor never even told me you can’t take it long term. It is not easy getting off you guys. I am hoping time will heal my GI system :( in the meantime I have anxiety, palpitations, reflux, pain… trying different things but it is such an overlooked disease with no real silver bullet cure.
Same I get burning in one spot, I did a scope 6 mths ago and everything looked fine but the burn is unbearable. I read a study too that ppl who had covid display horrible Gerd
It activates the Vagal nerve. The palps are not harmful. Checkout Dr Sanjay Gupta on TH-cam, he has some great videos about it. I am a month off PPIs now, doing pretty well. I sometimes get a little bit of breakthrough heartburn after a meal but I would say it is minor, which is encouraging. I am going to try accupuncture, apparently there is proof that it works! The craziest thing for me is that out of desperation I tried drinking diluted Apple cider vinegar before each meal. I was VERY skeptical and nervous that it would make me feel worse, but I feel alot better! It is kind of crazy. If I don't drink it before a meal I have to take Gaviscon. @@malebogobatsalelwang3981
Thank you for taking the time to explain all of this in such detail. I had a fundoplication in 2001 due to recurrent bouts of pneumonia which damaged my lungs. My GERD was silent, so I couldn't feel the symptoms. Now, I'm dealing with it again and found all this very helpful! Thanks so much!

Another factor which I NEVER hear highlighted is bad sitting posture. While bio chemistry is obviously the major cause of GERD, simple physical pressure on the stomach sac itself forces stomach contents upwards. People who "don't sit up straight" usually with their shoulders slouched forwards often at keyboards physically press down on the rib cage which in turn presses your lungs & diaphragm down onto your stomach sac and into your lower abdomen causing increased pressure within the stomach with the result of forcing acidic stomach contents upwards. Sitting up straight with your shoulders back (and even holding your arms up straight above your head for a minute or so) lifts and expands your ribcage and relieves the downward pressure on your stomach, increasing its internal volume and reducing the chance of stomach contents being pushed upwards into the oesophagus.
This is amazing to hear! Because I have really bad posture when I work, and my whole body feels slouched now even when standing. I hope I can find some exercises to fix my back and posture permanently 😁😁
@@hawthorne1504 I'm not familiar with Pilates and the movements and stretches involved, but if it involves movements such as bending at the waist in a "touching your toes" sort of way, then if done after a large meal then certainly that would increase the pressure within the stomach sac and potentially force its contents upwards into the esophagus. Imagine a toothpaste tube with the cap taken off, now bend the tube in half and see what happens to the paste inside, you get the general idea. best wishes with your own condition.
My symptoms include 1.nausea but never fully vomiting, or producing a ton of saliva instead. 2. Feeling like a lump is stuck in my throat, dry throat or bitter taste coming from throat 3. "Burning" chest Hope this video will help me understand what exactly is going on
@@JonnaMaeCero it has passed thankfully. It continued for like a month after I posted this and then i started intermittent fasting. I still try to eat from 12am up to 8pm then fast the other times. Can't say it's what helped me but I'm glad I started eating like this because the symptoms haven't come back
Excellent presntation. My understaning is the majority of GERd is caused from not enough acid in the stomach, which prevents the sphinter from closing. If this is true, why was there not more discussion of this in your presentation? I thnk this is critical for sufferers to understand.
Probably because most doctors get a kick back on the number of Rx's they write. I did research on this also. I now use ACV 1tsp diluted in 8oz of water 30-40 mins before dinner. It works!!! They say to check with your doctor first!!! If you have stomach ulcers don't take it. ALWAYS CHECK WITH YOUR PRIMARY CARE PROVIDER 😊
Agree with you completely Veronica. I too started doing thie same 2 weeks ago and so far so good. Not sure about the "kick back" but for sure its the fast and easy answer for a doctor to prescribe a drug to block or promote some function in the body rather than spend time getting to the root of the issue. PPI cblockers are the 3rd most prescribed drug in the USA which is insane when you think about the fact the probably 95% are unnecessary.@@veronicascott1477
Not sure why you are making this comment to me. All stomach hace acid. Some are overly active and some deficient. The majority of Acid reflux sufferers are deficient, and this is the point of my commentary to the doctor. So if you have been diagnosed via a Ph test that you have accesive acid, then feel free to take a PPI.@@mj24672
Apple cider vinegar capsules/pills wrk great! Not Apple cider vinegar n liquid form as ur esophagus will burn due 2 heartburn n the capsules by pass that n go straight 2 stomach. Also drink alkaline water 9.5 to start then u can lower to 7 or 8.
That's interesting. I assume that you're on somekind of keto diet since it's low carb. Which is counterintuitive because everyone are saying "if you're experiencing GERD go low with fats". Can you elaborate on how low carb diet is affecting your sympthoms?
@@talgy2671 Carbs are the only nutrient that produces gas in the GI tract… plus, they are not required in the human diet. Some consider them counter-indicated. If you have any GERD, it’s your inputs (“food”)…

Hi. I had the same thing happening to me as well. I don't remember if the presenter explained why but I have found an explanation. When we fall asleep the nervous system is working differently and so the resting tone of the lower esophageal sphincter changes (lessens). We lose some tone because we are no longer swallowing on a regular basis. I don't know about you, but I follow an ultra low fat diet and it has helped. By ultra low fat, I mean very ultra low fat. For example, I eat only 'raw' nuts and not ones that are roasted (because they have oil). Another example - I eat raisins without added oil coating - you know, the ones that stick together? The raisins added to cereals and to party mixes have oil coatings. I stopped cooking with oil altogether. Even coconut milk has too much fat - I dilute it with cashew milk. I braise with homemade vegetable stock or steam with water. I eat mostly fish, tofu and chicken. I was grilling, but it broke recently. It's been tough, but I'm finally sleeping through the night. Best wishes to you.
Thank you Dr. Stafford for this highly informative video and thank you for emphasizing the role of non drug strategies. I can tell from personal experience that mediation hasa profoundeffect on any kind of inflammation.

In continuation of my first comment or question, is it possible, though, that too much carbohydrates are the causes of imbalance acid in the stomach and may play a very important role for the level of acidity in the stomach? In the majority, we eat more carbs that protein and carbs are converted to sugar, which is more damaging than fat. Would the kito diet perhaps be part of the important healing of the guts? If we look at the increasing population of Gerd sufferers and the increase in the amount of foods high in carbohydrates that we eat more than ever before is alarming. Many years ago, the majority ate more meat than carbs. Many years ago, people in general were more healthy because I do believe that meat fat is easier to digest, even though harder to digest in the stomach, but it is more healthy than sugar. Fruits and veggies "carbs" have plenty of sugar and are hard to remove from our system. Sould we eat more protein "meat with fats" and consume fewer cabs?
Very professional information! I was hopping to get more natural treatment information like specifically what to drink and eat. The medicines I took never worked on me.
Try apple cider vinegar capsules NOT liquid as liquid will burn esophagus that's already stressed from heartburn! 450 mg at night on empty stomach. Also drink alkaline water. Has helped me tremendously!
Kefer and apple cider vinegar. No sugar, coffee, soda, or any caffeine/ chocolate. White chicken, fish, vegetables, and fruit. Braggs apple cider vinegar liquid only - one tea spoon to 8 water/twice daily. I've been to many Dr's, and they only want to put you on PPI/ money in the pockets for them God bless❣️ Ps. Tablespoon of raw kraut one in the morning and one in the afternoon.

Sometimes its just a case of finding the right brand of coffee. When i started taking NESCAFE'S TASTERS CHOICE French Roast my heartburn was not triggered and am even able to enjoy it twice a day most of the time. I avoid taking it three times a day though i can tolerate this for a day or two before it becomes a problem.
Very good explanation. Ive found caffine drinks make it worse and for me wheat flour. Ive had gerd for 20yrs now and try hard to keep off PPIs but have to resort to using them every few weeks especially when i go away on holidays. It really is a fulltime problem. I do have z snall hernia and wonder if i could have surgery for the hernia if this would cure the heartburn?? I think the worst part is the insomnia. Thankyou Dr.

I have been on PPi`s for 25 years. I am( was) a healthy male, healthy weight but got reflux way back then due to life style like drinking and occasional smoking. Now I cant come off them because I get immediate acid hypersecretion which is very painful and dangerous ( barrettes oesophagus etc ) . Also, I broke my ankle very easily and think maybe my bone has suffered due to the meds. Its horrible .
My Gerd progressed to Barrett's Esophagus😔 and I just stopped the PPI's due to horrible side effects in my belly and bowels...whole digestive system issues. 5 days out...its so hard I am experiencing such bad acid, running to sink to spit it out when it comes up my throat. I haver tried several things lately to stop it...which I believe there is no way to stop it completely, but just ease it some. I take Lily Of The Valley Aloe Vera gel with the inner fillet, at least 4-5 times a day for its cooling and soothing effect and PH properties, Papaya chewable Enzyme's 4 at once daily, An alginate product called Reflux Gourmet, chew gum in between bought at health food store, Digestive Enzymes with Betaine HC two each meal that has protein, also drinking Alkaline water..I am only seeing a 50% change in acid attacks. I'm afraid to do the Apple Cider Vinegar, because my esophagus is already burning from tissue damage, like open wounds and the ACV may irritate it or burn it more. Healing esophagus at this point is not possible, irreversible damage. Please everyone, try to help your Gerd BEFORE it gets to this, because you won't like having Barrett's one bit and it leads to cancer for some people. If only I knew it was that serious of a condition before hand, so I could take better measure to not get it. Now I will have to be on an alkaline diet for life, eat very small meals, get rid of all the chocolate, coffee and eat blander, softer foods. These things help a fraction, but not good enough to protect from further damage. Acid still finds it's way at times back up. Let this be a warning not to play around with this condition..there is only one way it can go ....downhill. Best wishes all!!!
I had same issue re getting of ppi's. I used ppi granules to reduce very slowly. Once off them I had acupuncture. Yes there is science behind this and it worked. I don't eat foods that trigger me eg. saturated fat, full fat dairy, chocolate or wine. If I drink it will be a gin and tonic. I take rennies which is just calcium and magnesium to reduce stomach acid if I have eaten out. On occasion I use DGL licorice to coat my stomach if I feel stomach issues coming on.
@@boe1956 You are correct, so many videos & Drs recommending ACV but it should not be for those that have irratation in the esophagus it burns , also some Drs recommending 2 tbls spoons of Olive Oil to help with digestion but it also burns the esophagus , not good , Think it through before trying it. If it burns don't use it,
I have had constant burning and muscle tightness after GB removal. They are guessing functional with scans, pills.and proceddure. They put me on PPI did not do much. I had restriction they stretched. I had gastritis on throat scan. How do I get rid of this pain. Pregabalin and low antidepressant are not cutting it. I weigh 142. I'D love to hear your ideas:)

MY husband suffers from Gerd. He gets attacked at night, and he gets up all of a sudden because of difficulty breathing, and it's scary until he starts coughing and gets the burn on his trout, etc... So recently, he started keto diet and takes apple cider vinegar. These changes of diet seem to reduce his severity of his attacks and symptoms. Is it possible, though, that Gerd sufferres has a low acid in their stomach, therefore the sufferer need to balance the acid in their stomach and in doing so will help to relax the sphincter of the oesophagus? I am not a doctor, but I want to help my husband, so I will have to understand the level of acid in the stomach and the relaxation of the sphincter. How do these health mechanisms in the stomach work or correlated? Is it like a car that if the engine uses the wrong fuel eventually gets broken? Please explain!
I had the exact same middle of the night symptoms. Stay on keto -- my severe gerd went into complete remission after about 60 days on the diet. Also, be sure to eat at least 3 hrs before bed. I also raised my headboard using bricks to elevate my head. Gravity helps! If I go back to the SAD diet for more than a few days, it comes back. Not worth it -- I will stay keto for life!
can i ask what is his meat consumption is like? to me it's not easy to cut out meat like is recommended. there is almost no other foods with its nutrition density
@@shawnmarieVnutritionyup, I figured it out randomly. I only ate protein, a little bit of carbs from fruits, vegetables, the symptoms were gone as long as I kept ketonic diet.Dont know why and how lol :))).
As you say I am taking ACV and ginger juice I have been fine for a month now I am having a lot of trouble for two or three days now difficulty in breathing I feel like there is something wrong near my heart due to which I am not able to eat properly body is getting very thin what is the solution

The answer is absolutely yes.PPI's are almost never neeeded simply need watch what you eat i.e. caffeine, etc and take some natural supplement like DGL licorice.
Please read my comment again. I was not offering medical advice whatsoever. Omeprazole is the 9th most prescribed drug in the USA. Some of these patients and i believe many are blocking the acid long term (over 1 month) with PPI. This is dangerous. So I am asking why the presetation did not spend some time discussing the possibility of not enough acid in the stomach and cause the sphinter to remain open.@@PedroKing99
thank you so much! I have heard that food allergies has much to do with GERD... been on Pantoprazole 40mg 2xd down to 1 tab a day,afyer 2 yeats now have horrible gas and believe its dietary .... all from PPI any ideas?

Nissen fundoplication surgery can create gross side effects such as inability or struggle to belch and vomit, thus creating further bloating and other major medical conditions... See short and longterm reviews from patients. Yet some have experienced success.
No, i don't think so. It feels that way but it is probably just gas stuck in a spot. With me i get a bloated pressure most of the time on my lower left side of my stomach. When i take my omeprazole or famotidine followed by an apple about an hour later than i can feel things ease up and a sense of gas moving. As soon as i push down on that part of my stomach putting light pressure on it i automatically burp which brings even more relief. My sister who is a nurse as well as the doctors i have had told me if its on the left side of the chest and it feels like a child is sitting on your chest than there is something heart related going on. Also if you get up and start walking and feel the pain increasing that is a sure sign something is wrong and you need to get to the hospital as this is not just a case of gerd or heartburn etc. I usually go out for walks and it always relieves or eliminates the heartburn after taking the other above steps if am having a bad case of heartburn that morning. Walking helps to get the trapped gas moving around where eventually i can burp or expel it out of my body thru my bum bum ha ha. Best wishes and remember its about moderation not elimination as my first doctor who treated me once told me.

I don't understand and hope someone will tell me. I wake up with a burning tongue and my esophagus hurting. Why would I wake up with it but not have it during the night. Any thoughts about this would be appreciated.
Appreciate the advise, not being smart. Just haven't been able to find a doctor that really helps you with anything. Seems like doctors are great at emergency stuff but day to day illness like gout, neuropathy, acid reflux, arthritis they just really aren't able to help you. Thank you though.
What about esophagus spasms? I've never had any trouble with acid reflux or anything. It's been 8+ weeks since I've been able to really eat anything. 1 day I was eating normal and the next day I couldn't eat anything. The bits of times I've been able to eat anything has been 1-4 ounces once in awhile. I don't understand and doctors haven't done anything other than stretching esophagus and prescribed prilosec. Which in the past week since that was done, I still haven't been able to eat. They said barium pill went down fine but barium liquid coated and area around the upper chest and the rest went down. All I was told was esophagus is "dysfunctional". I'm not getting help and it's not getting better.
@@Enoch-n7d I feel like there's pressure built up too. Like I have trouble burping since all of this started in February. I have had esophagus stretched 2 times this year after it all started but it's still not 100% back to eating. I've been able to eat soft food or baby food maybe a few times a week otherwise I've been drinking shakes but sometimes the meal replacement shakes feel like it either sits in stomach or goes right thru and still feel like I'm starving
You might want to take Pepto Bismol about an hour after taking your medication to help with the nausea. Also ask your doctor as he probably knows something he can prescribe for you or food which can help. I take an apple which helps instantly.
after 10 years i learned that acid reflux causing my burning eyes and mouth and even my ringing ears and my short of breath and even burning joints head and face pressure i actually had a nissan surgery which actually made it worse meds does not help high dose vitamin d and watching what i eat does
I suffer from GERD since my childhood.. I have the worst bad breath in the world... I cannot speak close to people... I tried every way to cure it.. Nothing helps actually... Help me! Please.......😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
I dont know where are you from, i'm from India, I have chronic hyper acidity and GERD problem for last 8 years. it is very sever, Homeopathy medicines can reduce the symptoms can give great relief, I have been almost resistant to pantropazol, omeprazol, or antacids, but homeo medicines work great, like Robinia mother, carbo veg 30..
Try eating red apple delicious for a few days to get rid of acid reflux. That is what my wife and I used to treat acid reflux and the problem never came back.
I have Gerd makes me lose haptit l am very tired all the time no energy heart burn all day and l feel like something stoke my throat my skin got dark l also have cough every time I eat and drink l am 38 l am a mommy of 4 little kids am really scared lts not a cancer 😢 did anyone have the same semtioms ?
If you're on PPI's with no relief maybe you don't have enough stomach acid and that is the problem. Go to your doctor and talk to him/her about it...get a second opinion if necessary
hey guys, try a kneeling position where your head on the floor palms on the floor, where your stomach position is higher than your head, i find it can soothe my gerd symptoms a bit, maybe this position can train our LES muscle becomes stronger. Besides, im muslim i do this position everyday in my prayer, what do you think doc?

Thank you for taking the time to explain all of this in such detail. I had a fundoplication in 2001 due to recurrent bouts of pneumonia which damaged my lungs. My GERD was silent, so I couldn't feel the symptoms. Now, I'm dealing with it again and found all this very helpful! Thanks so much!
Thank you for sharing your experience! I completely relate to your journey with GERD. It can be challenging finding the right solution.

Nature truly provides some powerful remedies! you can contact me for more information on natural product i have used to help cure my GERD.
Another factor which I NEVER hear highlighted is bad sitting posture. While bio chemistry is obviously the major cause of GERD, simple physical pressure on the stomach sac itself forces stomach contents upwards. People who "don't sit up straight" usually with their shoulders slouched forwards often at keyboards physically press down on the rib cage which in turn presses your lungs & diaphragm down onto your stomach sac and into your lower abdomen causing increased pressure within the stomach with the result of forcing acidic stomach contents upwards. Sitting up straight with your shoulders back (and even holding your arms up straight above your head for a minute or so) lifts and expands your ribcage and relieves the downward pressure on your stomach, increasing its internal volume and reducing the chance of stomach contents being pushed upwards into the oesophagus.
This is amazing to hear! Because I have really bad posture when I work, and my whole body feels slouched now even when standing.
I hope I can find some exercises to fix my back and posture permanently 😁😁
I like to do Pilates, but do you think that these exercises are forcing the acid into the esophagus?
@@hawthorne1504 I'm not familiar with Pilates and the movements and stretches involved, but if it involves movements such as bending at the waist in a "touching your toes" sort of way, then if done after a large meal then certainly that would increase the pressure within the stomach sac and potentially force its contents upwards into the esophagus. Imagine a toothpaste tube with the cap taken off, now bend the tube in half and see what happens to the paste inside, you get the general idea. best wishes with your own condition.
My symptoms include
1.nausea but never fully vomiting, or producing a ton of saliva instead.
2. Feeling like a lump is stuck in my throat, dry throat or bitter taste coming from throat
3. "Burning" chest
Hope this video will help me understand what exactly is going on
Same here😢
How are you now?
@@jubilee1819gotten any better? Hope u have
How are u now..same as my symptoms..
@@JonnaMaeCero it has passed thankfully. It continued for like a month after I posted this and then i started intermittent fasting. I still try to eat from 12am up to 8pm then fast the other times. Can't say it's what helped me but I'm glad I started eating like this because the symptoms haven't come back
Excellent presntation. My understaning is the majority of GERd is caused from not enough acid in the stomach, which prevents the sphinter from closing. If this is true, why was there not more discussion of this in your presentation? I thnk this is critical for sufferers to understand.
Probably because most doctors get a kick back on the number of Rx's they write. I did research on this also. I now use ACV 1tsp diluted in 8oz of water 30-40 mins before dinner. It works!!! They say to check with your doctor first!!! If you have stomach ulcers don't take it. ALWAYS CHECK WITH YOUR PRIMARY CARE PROVIDER 😊
Agree with you completely Veronica. I too started doing thie same 2 weeks ago and so far so good. Not sure about the "kick back" but for sure its the fast and easy answer for a doctor to prescribe a drug to block or promote some function in the body rather than spend time getting to the root of the issue. PPI cblockers are the 3rd most prescribed drug in the USA which is insane when you think about the fact the probably 95% are unnecessary.@@veronicascott1477
I don’t believe that because if I make myself throw up, once the acid is out of my stomach, I feel better.
Not sure why you are making this comment to me. All stomach hace acid. Some are overly active and some deficient. The majority of Acid reflux sufferers are deficient, and this is the point of my commentary to the doctor. So if you have been diagnosed via a Ph test that you have accesive acid, then feel free to take a PPI.@@mj24672
Apple cider vinegar capsules/pills wrk great! Not Apple cider vinegar n liquid form as ur esophagus will burn due 2 heartburn n the capsules by pass that n go straight 2 stomach. Also drink alkaline water 9.5 to start then u can lower to 7 or 8.
Thank you so much, it's important that you mention mental illness
15 years on PPIs. Got off using re-acidification (ACV and HCL/peptides) and adopting a low carb lifestyle… 👏🏻
That's interesting. I assume that you're on somekind of keto diet since it's low carb. Which is counterintuitive because everyone are saying "if you're experiencing GERD go low with fats". Can you elaborate on how low carb diet is affecting your sympthoms?
@@talgy2671 Carbs are the only nutrient that produces gas in the GI tract… plus, they are not required in the human diet. Some consider them counter-indicated.
If you have any GERD, it’s your inputs (“food”)…

Hi. I had the same thing happening to me as well. I don't remember if the presenter explained why but I have found an explanation. When we fall asleep the nervous system is working differently and so the resting tone of the lower esophageal sphincter changes (lessens). We lose some tone because we are no longer swallowing on a regular basis. I don't know about you, but I follow an ultra low fat diet and it has helped. By ultra low fat, I mean very ultra low fat. For example, I eat only 'raw' nuts and not ones that are roasted (because they have oil). Another example - I eat raisins without added oil coating - you know, the ones that stick together? The raisins added to cereals and to party mixes have oil coatings. I stopped cooking with oil altogether. Even coconut milk has too much fat - I dilute it with cashew milk. I braise with homemade vegetable stock or steam with water. I eat mostly fish, tofu and chicken. I was grilling, but it broke recently. It's been tough, but I'm finally sleeping through the night. Best wishes to you.

Thank you so very much for the information that I couldn't get from my doctors!
In continuation of my first comment or question, is it possible, though, that too much carbohydrates are the causes of imbalance acid in the stomach and may play a very important role for the level of acidity in the stomach? In the majority, we eat more carbs that protein and carbs are converted to sugar, which is more damaging than fat. Would the kito diet perhaps be part of the important healing of the guts? If we look at the increasing population of Gerd sufferers and the increase in the amount of foods high in carbohydrates that we eat more than ever before is alarming. Many years ago, the majority ate more meat than carbs.
Many years ago, people in general were more healthy because I do believe that meat fat is easier to digest, even though harder to digest in the stomach, but it is more healthy than sugar. Fruits and veggies "carbs" have plenty of sugar and are hard to remove from our system. Sould we eat more protein "meat with fats" and consume fewer cabs?
Very professional information! I was hopping to get more natural treatment information like specifically what to drink and eat. The medicines I took never worked on me.
Try apple cider vinegar capsules NOT liquid as liquid will burn esophagus that's already stressed from heartburn! 450 mg at night on empty stomach. Also drink alkaline water. Has helped me tremendously!
Kefer and apple cider vinegar. No sugar, coffee, soda, or any caffeine/ chocolate.
White chicken, fish, vegetables, and fruit.
Braggs apple cider vinegar liquid only - one tea spoon to 8 water/twice daily.

Thanks for mentioning the coffee. I will stop my 3 per day de-cafe. Appreciate your sharing this.
I am an avid coffee drinker and I too noticed that it aggravates my GERD (or Hiatal hernia - I also have that)
Sometimes its just a case of finding the right brand of coffee. When i started taking NESCAFE'S TASTERS CHOICE French Roast my heartburn was not triggered and am even able to enjoy it twice a day most of the time. I avoid taking it three times a day though i can tolerate this for a day or two before it becomes a problem.
Its very very useful information..
Thank you doc!! I learned so much!

Dear doctor, can you explain about acute esophagitis due to GERD, thank you!
Very good explanation. Ive found caffine drinks make it worse and for me wheat flour. Ive had gerd for 20yrs now and try hard to keep off PPIs but have to resort to using them every few weeks especially when i go away on holidays. It really is a fulltime problem. I do have z snall hernia and wonder if i could have surgery for the hernia if this would cure the heartburn?? I think the worst part is the insomnia. Thankyou Dr.

I have been on PPi`s for 25 years. I am( was) a healthy male, healthy weight but got reflux way back then due to life style like drinking and occasional smoking. Now I cant come off them because I get immediate acid hypersecretion which is very painful and dangerous ( barrettes oesophagus etc ) . Also, I broke my ankle very easily and think maybe my bone has suffered due to the meds. Its horrible .
My Gerd progressed to Barrett's Esophagus😔 and I just stopped the PPI's due to horrible side effects in my belly and bowels...whole digestive system issues. 5 days out...its so hard I am experiencing such bad acid, running to sink to spit it out when it comes up my throat. I haver tried several things lately to stop it...which I believe there is no way to stop it completely, but just ease it some. I take Lily Of The Valley Aloe Vera gel with the inner fillet, at least 4-5 times a day for its cooling and soothing effect and PH properties, Papaya chewable Enzyme's 4 at once daily, An alginate product called Reflux Gourmet, chew gum in between bought at health food store, Digestive Enzymes with Betaine HC two each meal that has protein, also drinking Alkaline water..I am only seeing a 50% change in acid attacks. I'm afraid to do the Apple Cider Vinegar, because my esophagus is already burning from tissue damage, like open wounds and the ACV may irritate it or burn it more. Healing esophagus at this point is not possible, irreversible damage. Please everyone, try to help your Gerd BEFORE it gets to this, because you won't like having Barrett's one bit and it leads to cancer for some people. If only I knew it was that serious of a condition before hand, so I could take better measure to not get it. Now I will have to be on an alkaline diet for life, eat very small meals, get rid of all the chocolate, coffee and eat blander, softer foods. These things help a fraction, but not good enough to protect from further damage. Acid still finds it's way at times back up. Let this be a warning not to play around with this condition..there is only one way it can go ....downhill. Best wishes all!!!
I had same issue re getting of ppi's. I used ppi granules to reduce very slowly. Once off them I had acupuncture. Yes there is science behind this and it worked. I don't eat foods that trigger me eg. saturated fat, full fat dairy, chocolate or wine. If I drink it will be a gin and tonic. I take rennies which is just calcium and magnesium to reduce stomach acid if I have eaten out. On occasion I use DGL licorice to coat my stomach if I feel stomach issues coming on.
@@boe1956 You are correct, so many videos & Drs recommending ACV but it should not be for those that have irratation in the esophagus it burns , also some Drs recommending 2 tbls spoons of Olive Oil to help with digestion but it also burns the esophagus , not good , Think it through before trying it. If it burns don't use it,
R u fine now
Well done

Wonderful information. Thank you
MY husband suffers from Gerd. He gets attacked at night, and he gets up all of a sudden because of difficulty breathing, and it's scary until he starts coughing and gets the burn on his trout, etc... So recently, he started keto diet and takes apple cider vinegar. These changes of diet seem to reduce his severity of his attacks and symptoms. Is it possible, though, that Gerd sufferres has a low acid in their stomach, therefore the sufferer need to balance the acid in their stomach and in doing so will help to relax the sphincter of the oesophagus? I am not a doctor, but I want to help my husband, so I will have to understand the level of acid in the stomach and the relaxation of the sphincter. How do these health mechanisms in the stomach work or correlated? Is it like a car that if the engine uses the wrong fuel eventually gets broken? Please explain!
If nothing else works, try using red apple delicious for a few days. It worked for me and my wife and the problem never came back.
I had the exact same middle of the night symptoms. Stay on keto -- my severe gerd went into complete remission after about 60 days on the diet. Also, be sure to eat at least 3 hrs before bed. I also raised my headboard using bricks to elevate my head. Gravity helps! If I go back to the SAD diet for more than a few days, it comes back. Not worth it -- I will stay keto for life!
can i ask what is his meat consumption is like? to me it's not easy to cut out meat like is recommended. there is almost no other foods with its nutrition density
You don’t need apple cider , keto diet is way enough. I am chronic gerd victim (shortness of breath) is the most annoying thing to me.

Please read my comment again. I was not offering medical advice whatsoever. Omeprazole is the 9th most prescribed drug in the USA.

What about the theory that insufficient acid in the stomach (over pH 3.0) could cause the LES to stay open allowing regurgitation into the esophagus?
What about frequent burping? I got diagnosed gerd and duodenitis. You didn’t mention in the gerd symptoms. Please
Thank you so very much!
You're very welcome!
Sir, can we able to burp or omit after linx surgery?
Thanks Doctor 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Nissen fundoplication surgery can create gross side effects such as inability or struggle to belch and vomit, thus creating further bloating and other major medical conditions... See short and longterm reviews from patients. Yet some have experienced success.
And it only works for 10 years or so. And then a second operation is much less successful.
what about surgery
Can enzymes work?
Does Gerd put pressure on the heart? Soon ass I take a gas pill it goes away?
No, i don't think so. It feels that way but it is probably just gas stuck in a spot. With me i get a bloated pressure most of the time on my lower left side of my stomach. When i take my omeprazole or famotidine followed by an apple about an hour later than i can feel things ease up and a sense of gas moving. As soon as i push down on that part of my stomach putting light pressure on it i automatically burp which brings even more relief. My sister who is a nurse as well as the doctors i have had told me if its on the left side of the chest and it feels like a child is sitting on your chest than there is something heart related going on. Also if you get up and start walking and feel the pain increasing that is a sure sign something is wrong and you need to get to the hospital as this is not just a case of gerd or heartburn etc. I usually go out for walks and it always relieves or eliminates the heartburn after taking the other above steps if am having a bad case of heartburn that morning. Walking helps to get the trapped gas moving around where eventually i can burp or expel it out of my body thru my bum bum ha ha.
Best wishes and remember its about moderation not elimination as my first doctor who treated me once told me.
