I had acid reflux for years and I've long suspected a hiatal hernia as the culprit. My doctor wanted to get me on a PPI (permanently!) so I asked: "Shouldn't we identify the cause of the problem before attempting to treat it?" She said no need, PPI's are easy and get results, so who cares? Needless to say, I did NOT start the PPIs. I already knew about some of the dangers. Instead, I reduced animal product intake to just one or twice a month, eliminated dairy products, reduced my coffee drinking, lost some weight and stopped eating bedtime snacks. Problem solved!
My heartburn came from hiatal hernia. The only thing that helped (big surprise) was a whole foods plant based diet, low fat. Cut out the CRAP and grease, more fiber. I lost weight and the heartburn is gone. I did notice a difference right away but it took losing weight for it to be completely resolved. YMMV
@@Maggie-zr2ow Certainly. Short version is lots of whole, minimally processed grains, beans, lentils and greens and sweet potatoes. Breakfast is a whole grain porridge (oats, rye, hulled barley, sorghum, millet, split red lentils) with flax and white beans, sweet or savory. About 3/4c porridge pls 1/2c beans. Most dinners are brown or red rice/quinoa with lentils (red or brown) or some sort of bean/chickpea. Indian, southwestern, Italian, Cajun, Middle Eastern inspired flavors. Veg are mostly squash, sweet potatoes and greens. Apple a day. No medicines except as required for T2D, thyroid and RA. Doses adjusted as I lost weight and my conditions improved. Vit B of course and D because I tested as low. I do the Daily Dozen spices plus Nigella. Hope this helps.
I was on them for 14 years, and no one ever said anything, not my GI, not my GP. I finally weaned myself off but still go back for short periods whenever I need OTC NSAIDs for an extended period of time.
Please tell us what someone can do instead of taking certain acid reflux meds. My teenage son has Crohn’s disease and follows a plant based diet. One of his issues is terrible acid reflux. He has amazing doctors but they all say he’s fine to take prescribed acid reflux meds long term. I was worried and asked and now this video popped up. I would love for you to do a series on IBD and medications.
A plant based diet usually contains foods with a high level lectins, which can cause acid reflux in some people. Same with seed oils (aka 'vegetable oils')
@@clarabell3023no You're so wrong.. Lectins doesn't cause acid reflux.. Infact.. What triggered mine were- Fat (any kinda fat.. except those from whole nuts and seeds) Tomatoes Coffee Meat (when I ate meat obviously) Chocolate ☕ Tea Onions sometimes Your claims are so arbitrary..and biased.. not to mention unscientific.. I'm gonna share what helped my acid reflux.. Eating less food more frequently Avoiding fatty meals Moderate fiber consumption No snacking before bed..

Would resistance/weightlifting exercises help offset the negative effects of ppis on bone density? Nothing helps my LPR as much as ppis, unfortunately. It's either potentially negative side effects years down the road or risk of developing esophageal cancer.
This is so upsetting, I was on a double dose for months, no warning. I read the product labels and warnings, but they did not quote a study saying this med was linked to so many things!
PPIs are likely overused, especially for transient heartburn. Even so, everything is a tradeoff. I'd probably be long dead of stomach cancer if it weren't for PPIs. Developed severe GERD as a teenager, likely hereditary (My Dad suffers the same) and exacerbated by years of weightlifting. Dietary changes did nothing, and earlier drugs (Tums, H2 blockers, etc.) didn't help much and also had serious side effects, to say nothing of the pain and damage from GERD to teeth and tissue. Endoscopy showed my stomach looked like ulcerated hamburger. Doc said very close to Barrett's Esophagus which often becomes cancerous. Been taking them for decades now, and I thank God for them! Calcium supplementation may help and weightlifting and strength training are always helpful.
5:20 is a start. Don't want to remove all salt. I use Apple cider vinegar but just a splash, in my water and this helps stomach. Sauerkraut or acv, also known to break up Roundup, allowing more normal glycine in DNA, joints, stomach and brain, to help you sleep, which increases compassion and decreases pain worldwide. The frontal lobe is also helpful in making good decisions instead of short -term loner ones. Goodnight.
Was on one of these for approx 15 years for acid reflux disease and thought it was a miracle drug. Without it I was even immobilized with pain including white foam that would come out of my mouth. Then for weight loss I payed to have a slimband put in. In order to do the operation they had to fix my stomache hernia. Whole operation for both band and stomache hernia took 15 minutes. Never had acid reflux again since! Band was useless for me, but that's another story. Now I live with chronic pain due to wide spread osteoporosis and osteoarthritis. So easy to fix a stomache hernia it's obvious that they don't want to. People trust way too much and are often just stooges for someone else's profit in the end.
some of the difference by country may be because of the short lifespan in some places, but the dairy consuming countries are at the top for sure. denmark #1
Моя изжога возникла из-за хиатальной грыжи. Единственное, что помогло (большой сюрприз), - это диета из цельных растительных продуктов с низким содержанием жиров. Вырежьте ДЕРЬМО и жир, больше клетчатки. Я похудела и изжога прошла. Я сразу заметил разницу, но для того, чтобы она полностью исчезла, потребовалось похудеть. ЯММВ

Would you mind sharing the top fiber foods that worked for you? Did you use any medicines or supplements? 🙂

Black seed oil is a good natural remedy for acid reflux. A vegan diet also helps.
@@rozchristopherson648 How to use the Black Seed Oil? Is it throughout the day, before or after eating, etc? Is it mixed with water? Thanks!
So important! Thank you so much

Informative home run Dr. G. You still got it!! Will spread the word.
Not surprised. Follow the money
What can you do when even a plant based diet hasn't prevented acid reflux? Thank you for the warnings of these meds
A plant based diet is high in lectins, which can cause acid reflux in many people.
So don't take tums for extra calcium?

Ииии чем убирать изжогу?
Если злаки убрать, то изжоги меньше, но всё же может быть.

I never take any pharmaceutical products of any kind and I’m perfectly fine
NOTHING tastes as good as being healthy feels. Once again……plant based for the WIN!!!!!!
