Excellent video. My brother-in-law developed tracheal cancer because of this condition. He took loads of antacids for 20 years to fight his acid reflux, and this habit actually caused the cancer. The surgery was devastating. He became a human science project. He survived, but the cost was immense. He needed this info from Dr Berg, who is doing more good with his You Tube channel than most doctors do in their entire careers. Thanks, doc!
I was diagnosed with GERD in my mid 20's. I took a daily dose of omeprazole for more than 2 decades. Then I discovered apple cider vinegar. along with low carb and IF, heartburn is very rare now, and when it does pop up, a single shot of apple cider vinegar & the symptoms are gone instantly! 54 and never felt this good
@@Godfinder when having these issues do others complain or cover their nose when u speak,,, i have gerd but doctors say post nasal drip is causing breath issue, thanks for sharing -they tried to put me on omeprazole and prednisone and antibiotics😔
Dr. Berg, you just saved my life, literally. Thank God for your wisdom. There is so much false information on the internet, but you're not misleading people. Again, thank you for all you do.
My partner has a hernia and has been hospitalised several times for really really extreme heartburn. They keep prescribing more antacids that are just stronger. Are you the only doctor that knows this?? It feels like the medical industry is so much about drug pushing and symptom treating. You explain the root cause. I wish you were my doctor!
I’ve had acid reflux for more than 7 years now. I had the worst symptom last week, there’s a persistent sour taste in my mouth and shortness of breathe. After a week of taking acv before and after every meal for a week. I felt so much better now. I know this sounds impossible but beer actually lessen my symptoms too.
Dr. Berg would be charged with malpractice if he was a medical doctor in America. I am happy he is not one because he can share his knowledge freely without the medical laws hindering him..
People need to also be responsible for their own health. Doctors are there to treat. Dr Berg is here to educate - and help people change their diets. He gives you the reason why you should.
I've heard about the connection between heartburn and stomach lacking acid. But never heard how all the other symptoms are also due to taking meds for this issue. Thanks for breaking it down for us.
I suffered from GERD for over 25 years when I went through a divorce and I've been on acid reflux medication for that long. Last July 2018 I started to watch Dr Berg and started IF then OMAD and have lost 83 pounds so far. I was still on Nexium and was afraid to try acv; but when Dr Berg said to try it and if your stomach hurts that means you have an ulcer I decided to give it a try. I started with one tablespoon of avc in 8oz of water in the morning in the first week and progress to 2 tablespoon of avc in the morning , after my noon omad meal and before bedtime. I haven't taken any acid reflux medication in six weeks and my digestion is so much better. Thank you so much Dr Berg for the great free service you're doing for this community.
I had GERD for years. I had a laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication (GERD surgery) with a hiatal hernia repair 12 years ago. I had developed Barrett’s esophaguses (precancerous changes to the esophaguses from the reflux) & surgery is one of the only ways to correct it. When my weight changed I started having reflux symptoms again but then I finally discovered Keto. Just the change in my diet has improved my stomach so that now I don’t have to worry about it anymore!
I'm 68. Been pursuing the path of healthy Keto for 5 weeks gave up soda pop best thing I have done went from 255 to 230. Have gotten Gerd about 70% under control. Eric I love this man . Thanks for all you have done.
I recently was on the verge of hospitalization due to severe digest issues that had lasted 18 months - someone suggested I drink lemon peel (grate, grind, blend the peel with water) fixed my issue.
After watching this video i bought me a bottle of apple cider vinegar. Taking two table spoons per day (before breakfast and dinner) combined with half glass of water. Horrible taste. But some magic happend. My acide reflux and heart burn faded away in two days! As if i can breath again. What a relief. Thank you Dr. Eric Berg and greetings from The Netherlands!
I’ve been suffering with gerd for 2years. I’ve done a lot of research and experimentation into this matter. This information is consistent with my findings. Great video dr berg. Love the video screen too. Very cool.
You're amazing doctor. Why is that doctors doctors don't explain this? I find that when I'm told the "what" as in what is causing the condition I'm able to then work on the "how" how to fix or make better. Doctors immediately put you on medication and rush you out of their offices. Your video has so much information and your process of how you figure medical conditions is brilliant and yet its easy to follow. Thank you.
My sister-in-law, now 70 years old, began gobbling Tums as a youngster. Baking soda was used, as well. When 'the purple pill' became a thing, she took that, too. She STILL suffers! Many years ago, I read that MOST cases of these conditions were related to too little stomach acid, NOT too much. Doctors simply don't test a patient's stomach acid levels before prescribing medications. Believe me, I tried to tell her these things, to no avail. I keep saying that I'm giving up on trying to help people. Unfortunately, I tend to keep opening my mouth and am rebuked for my efforts. Thankfully, I do have a few like minded friends that I can safely share these topics with. Of course, there are many people here on this channel that I feel free to discuss these things with. I'm VERY grateful for that!! May God bless you all for wanting to know the truth and sharing your nuggets of knowledge with the rest of us! MANY thanks to Dr. Berg for helping SO many of us, as well!!!
Thanks! Very interesting video. I can see how everything you said just proved to me what I already thought to be true. My mom got gastric bypass surgery 17 years ago and never took multivitamins or supplements and ended up developing the beginnings of Alzheimer’s and dementia. Eight years later, she was unable to swallow for some reason and she kept losing weight. 30 pounds in one month and she didn’t need to lose weight at all. This was in May 2024. After an endoscopy and biopsy, it was discovered she had stage 3 esophageal cancer, likely from GERD she didn’t know she had. She quickly got surgery for a j-tube insertion for nutrition and started chemo and radiation. Since she was 78 and not with much will to do much of anything natural, I supported my parents decision. I took care of her day and night as my husband and I live with them. It was a 5 1/2 week, daily radiation and weekly chemo plan program. She made it through 3 full weeks then died on us in the morning from heart failure. Looking back, she didn’t suffer and died rather quickly. I noticed sharp changes within a 4-day period but blamed the chemo because we really didn’t know what to expect. I think her lungs filled up with fluid and her heart just failed as she coughed up a small amount of blood then died 2 hrs later. From diagnosis to death, she lasted 3 months. I kinda expected her not to make it through the program, but sometimes, there just is not better option. I’ve been watching your videos since 2018 and each and every one is so interesting! Thanks!!
100% true. World would have been a lot different with out Dr. Berg. Amazed at the kind of videos he comes up with. Short and to the point for most common health problems people have in the present world.
Dr Berg you are simply a legend. You have a solution to almost every problem out there. Going to the root of the problem! And they work ! Thank you for everything ❤
I was diagnosed with GERD 20 years ago. Tried meds on and off with no real relief. Was recently taking tums every night to be able to lay down to sleep. Had a lot of reflux during the day. Started lemon and ACV water 7 weeks ago and the reflux is 98% gone. I mostly notice it after I have carbs, and even then it’s so minor I hardly notice it. I also started doing intermittent fasting (not great at it yet but do get around 14 hours of fasting each day) and eating more keto meals. I don’t do full keto, but the changes in most of my eating has greatly improved so many things. Drinking the ACV in the water was rough at first because I hate the smell, but now I hardly notice it and actually crave the drink. Dr. Berg is my hero ♥️♥️
@@henryhendrika5689 I heat up around 24 oz of water in the microwave for about a minute then add 1-2 tablespoons of ACV and 2-3 tablespoons of organic lemon juice. I add a little honey too which is why I heat the water so it will dissolve easily. I refrigerate overnight and drink half around lunchtime and the other half after dinner. I use a measuring shot glass and just pour the ACV and lemon juice together. Makes it easier 🙂
This is EXACTLY my case !! My DOCTORS never take time to realize this !! They don't even listen .. I followed their treatment of antacids for 3 months and I became unable to digest food !! I'm basically WORSE than ever before ...
@@salmanashweeh1010 I am much better now after quitting their toxic medicine. I helped myself by myself with healthy food.. Hope you get better too ! Take care !
@@salmanashweeh1010 No, i tried it and it didn't work for me ... Later i found out that I had a hiatal hernia. Which means my problem is not even acid reflux but the opening in the diaphragm.
@@kahinaharrache6038 i'm no expert on the subject but having some issues myself on and off..have you tried having something with good bacteria each day? i am also taking that, i can't digest food properly without it..in am from uk, we have actimel here but i'm vegan and also jain, so now a dairy free version has come out, i tried that one, bit expensive for me but it's working well as long as i eat less food in each sitting, which suits me anyway, i just get hungry sometimes and eat one cracker which helps with stomach acid when i have reflux.
Thank you for this information! I was just diagnosed with these issues and advised to take antacids and PPI - but common sense told me that a life time of reducing the acidity of stomach acid would probably not be good for long term overall health. I woke up this morning to alert from TH-cam and there was your video with the information that I have spent all week researching! Thank you so much for what you to and what you give. You are truly a blessing.
AgentRedWolf Yes, and it completely worked for me. I take 1-2 T of ACV prior to eating, last meal of the day is several hours before bed, and make sure I eat at least one large salad with leafy greens, nuts or seeds, and boiled eggs. I haven’t had one symptom or flare up all week. 😋
I had acid reflux really bad. Dr told me I have to take nexiurm for the rest of life. I doctored myself and starting sipping acv everyday. Problem solved.
It's a shame that some Dr dont keep themselves up to date and heavily rely on drugs which pharmaceuticals companies are making a lot money, if we dont take their drugs they would go bankrupt , my advise is : educate yourself (like Dr berg videos) , exercises, eat more vegetables limited fruits, eat max 2 meals a day , have a good sleep the rest our body can take care of the rest , we will hopefully stay away from visiting Doctors
@@KawaiiPinkPunkStar I did it for a few months. The symptoms went away. I had it so bad I got bahretts Esophagus. My GI Dr told me I had to do endoscopic 2x per year. After taking acv he said come back in 3 yrs. He didn't understand why my bahretts esophagus nearly disappeared. When I told him about the acv he just shrugged his shoulders lol
Dr. Berg don’t forget to mention in the video not just in the description, where does the information come from. That gives more credibility in a faster way. Thanks for your video!
Dear Doctor Eric. Thank you for your informative video on acid reflux. I was having a problem with this and I looked up information on the internet and some of the things it was saying were don't eat tomatoes, tomato based products and lose weight and some other things I can't remember but the doctor I was going to ,who I quit wanted to give me a proton inhibitors which I said no I will not start doing that because I'm not really a person that jumps to Medicine. But then I looked up information on the proton inhibitors and found out that there is some nasty rebound when you want to come off these inhibitors. It's a doggone shame that patients have to become their own doctors to to properly take care of themselves but I am grateful so grateful to you that you break it down step-by-step so we can understand how we can help our bodies. Much appreciated Celia
Very well put. I am a retired physician (MD) and have had these problems recently, and actually had to go to ER with severe chest pain and intrascapuIar pain . Diagnosis was made of esophagitis. Have been placed on PPI's , which I do NOT want to take long term for obvious reasons. I had been giving myself Apple Cider Vinegar daily, but seemed to develop a sour stomach from it after a couple of months, so I stopped it. That is when things actually became worse! to the point where one night I had to go to ER with the severe pain. Your points are well taken. I will try going back on ACV at a lower dose for a while to see how I do. I do want to make sure the esophagitis is settled though as ACV will burn a raw esophagus. Thanks you for your presentation.
Sir you are the best doctor I've known. Amazingly everything which I search for is up there on your channel.. Sir I'm doing intermittent fasting this Ramadan and within first 7 days my GERD, Heartburn symptoms were relieved. (I heard in one of ur videos that intermittent fasting improve HCL secretion) And you were right PPIs, Antacids aggravated my symptoms earlier Thanks to you Dr. Berg❤️
I’m so forever grateful to you Dr Berg! I’ve been fighting gerd since I was 13 years old, have been on everything from Prilosec to pantaprozole. I watched your video on excess mucas and started taking HCL, pepzinc and L glutamine as well as taking a tablespoon of ACV before I eat and for the last 2 weeks, I haven’t had nearly as much heartburn! I’ve stopped taking the pantaprozole and am feeling amazing! Following your diet along with IF. I’m 47 now and finally feel free of many more issues from being overmedicated! Thank you so much for all you do! 🙌♥️
@@79sverma Yes, I stopped taking my prescription’s and just went for it. It took about a week for the acid to regulate in my stomach and was still getting it but it has finally went away. The nasal drip is almost completely gone and my stomach seems to be thanking me as well. I stopped taking the medicine a few days after starting with the supplements and dealt with acid reflux for about a week, it’s been 3 months and I’m doing great!
I am trying the ACV once a day at 6 PM, one hour after I eat dinner and so far so good. I have suffered from heartburn for 15+ years. I took Zantac for five years and have been taking omeprazole since. One thing I have noticed is if I eat products high in preservatives such as flavored chips, certain off the shelf cookies anything really from the snack aisle that has artificial flavor I get unbelievable heartburn almost immediately. I’ve even trained my body to not turn over on my right side until at least 3 o’clock in the morning while sleeping. Any time before that instant acid reflux. Of course we all know why that is. I’m only on my third day but crossing my fingers that this is a successful remedy for me. Thank you for all your help and advice.
@@PCyianq No it was not a successful remedy for me. After the fourth day I started to experience heartburn all day long and was in a lot of discomfort. What I found was I had to constantly take ACV every couple hrs, something that could be maintained for the rest of my life. I unfortunately was forced to go back to omeprazole.
This is absolutely the truth, I had this problem many years ago and after months of not knowing what my problem was, I did my own research and discovered I was lacking stomach acid, problem gone! Dr. Berg, is the best!!
You are amazing Dr. Eric Berg, you have helped my family so much in the past 4 years you will never know how much you have helped us, we are forever grateful to you. You have a beautiful heart. Thank you so much for your knowledge. We appreciate you more than you could ever know.
Wow that’s amazing! Please what is the keto diet? My husband has gerd and he eats a lot of snacks. He’s a snacker since he works outside. He eats a lot of cereal, cookies, bread, oatmeal, oatmeal bars, trail mix. I need to help him, I don’t want him to get worse.
OMG! Thanks so much for this Dr Berg. I had this so bad but fixed a lot with diet. Now I'm on HRT and the estrogen is giving me problems again. What I've read is that it can cause issues with relaxing the upper sphincter. After watching this video today I got some of the Mother ACV and I'm already feeling better. I'm also trying to do intermittent fasting and only eating in a five hour window. Thanks for these videos and you're a life saver!
Hi I watched your video on sugar, I have had GERD for 2 years, last month was diagnosed with PCOS, I also had inflammation in my ankle joints. I stopped eating sugar and carbs four days ago. Today is the first time in 2 years I do not have any acid reflux. Thanks so much, I am convinced by my own evidence.
I’ve been diagnosed with severe gastritis, a small hiatal hernia, moderate duodenitis, and severe pylorospasms. The symptoms I felt seemed to have started after my cholecystectomy, so I grabbed some of your gallbladder formula. It didn’t seem to help so I stopped using it in the moment. I was on the freeway and suddenly felt anxious. I didn’t and still don’t feel right. Every time I use the restroom, I burn below. I’m even occasionally bleeding. As of a week ago, I have the diagnosis I mentioned above and have been put on pantoprazole. I can’t find my gallbladder formula yet, but when I do, I’m hoping this was all just my body not having enough bile to neutralize the acid from my stomach. The GI said there’s no H. Pylori anywhere, and that many of my symptoms could have been caused by stress.
I absolutely agree with those below regarding apple cider vinegar! I take two capsules (yes you can get in capsules now in any drugstore) every morning and then if I should run into a food that causes my reflux, I use another two and it goes away. Drink with plenty of water. And... Your Welcome!!!
I had Gerd for years I would throw up every morning and would feel sick randomly throughout the day. I tried taking ACV once a day and increased my Zinc and now I never or very rarely get those same Gerd symptoms. Thanks Dr Berg
How are the simptoms now? Did you take acv tablets or straight liquid? What did you take to upper your zinc? How long did it take for acv to work? Sorry for all the questions but i'm suffering so much this months, you'd give me a great help.
@@davide0o.o0o06 they are 90% gone. If I don't take the acv for awhile I'll start to feel it coming back but it's not a matter of days more weeks. I do a mix of the liquid and pills. The liquid seems to work more instantaneously but the pills are convenient. I felt relief of symptoms within days of starting. It was pretty amazing compared to "take this pill for the rest of your life" I take a zinc/copper supplement for a a fanily history of aneurysms. Good luck, hope it helps
Thank you so much the bloating and chest pains went away as soon as i added ACV to my diet during meals. Ordered Betaine HCL and hoping for an even faster recovery!
I had acid reflux. it started 25 years ago. Before I took the meds that was offered, I did a study. I found that acid reflux began with the automobile. With the automobile came the cafe along the road. The cafe didn't want the consumer to sit waiting, so they began bringing the salad and drinks first. Putting salad and drinks in the belly before the protein caused the stomach acid to be diluted so that the protein could not be broken down when it was placed into the stomach last. Heartburn. By ending all fluids and carbs before protein, I lost all heartburn instantly. I have now the need to end fructose intake for other reasons, but to end my heartburn I did not change the fructose intake. Sugar is half sucrose and fructose. Don't let cafes ruin your health.
@@priyadayanandan9091 acv helped me lose weight, but the reason for my acid was due to eating dairy in the end. Quit dairy and it was no more . Hope that helps.
Dr Berg, I had watched the video you did on SIBO and started taking HCL supplement. What a life saver you are. I don’t have constipation and bloating anymore. I used to have this horrible heartburn. It used to feel like a hot knife was going they my throat. Now once in a while I feel a mild burning sensation and I take HCL or drink apple cider vinegar and it goes away fast. Thank you!
I was just prescribed omeprazole.. for acid reflux.. just started taking it yesterday, am going to try this.. i prefer not to be medicated through drugs and dr berg here and just pointted out that its the wrong thing to be doing anyway, so fortunate to have him teaching us how to be healthy without drugs ❤
I'm a big fan! I'm hooked on getting my body on track because I never knew alot of the stuff that's been going wrong has been the product of not getting enough vitamins and minerals and eating too much bread and sugars. I feel a lot better now that I'm literally watching what I eat. This visceral belly fat is now starting to dissipate and drop. I'm working out more and just watching Dr. Berg tell it like it is.
My father and paternal grandmother both had GERD. Neither smoked, my dad particulary was fit and kept the smae weight all his life. He was still plastering ceilings in his mid-70's. I remember him having white chalky line around his lips as he constantly chewed antacid tablets because of his problem. Both dad and grandma died of stomach/liver cancer. A few years ago I developed Gerd. Again, not over-weight and not a smoker. So I concluded it was down to genetic disposition towards it. i knew I had to do something about it the inflammation and certainly didn't want to take drugs. (i was mindful that dad's chalky tablets covered up and didn't cure the problem.) So I looked at diet. My dad struggled with some foods and so that was the clue. I researched Keto and low carb. I didn't go full Keto but I drastically cut carbs (wheat was a major problem) but the number one cause of the inflammation was seed oils and margarine. I switched to all good fats like butter and coconut oil and olive oil. I cured my reflux. Just occasionally it comes back and that is entirely due to me eating something I didn't cook myself which has seed oil involved. Reassuring in a way because it proves I have the right culprit.
I was on proton pump inhibitors for three years due to gerd, you’re only supposed to be on them for up to six weeks. I healed the root cause of my gerd.If anyone wants to get off medicine and heal themself its a very easy fix. I suffered quite a bit before I found the simple solution.low hydrochloric acid and unfortunately the meds make it worse. Ginger pickles to build up your stomach acid. Works wonders, I’ve never had another lick of heartburn or gerd since.
This is what I have and since I have been watching your video I learned that once I feel like I have heart burn I take 1 teaspoon of braggs and it’s gone! I used tums like candy and I also use to drink 100 ounces of water per day! I can’t thank you enough!
I had laryngospasm last night. Have had low acidlevels gerd on and off. Drank some diluted apple cider vinegar and ate some sea salt. Made a list of the nutrients .Thanks so much Dr Berg. You are always teaching us. God bless you and the family.
The moment I stopped eating refined carbs, all these went away after years of torture. Now I don't know how that relates to stomach acids, I'm just glad to be rid of it.
@@priyadayanandan9091 I would say most of the white rices are not great with respect to nutritions. because all the nutritions are removed that is why it is white.... it has to be brown rice, red rice, black rice... rice varieties need to have fiber and protein... when rice has fiber you can only chew and eat which is good for your health... you can also take our ancient millets like Kambu, Ragi, thinai, etc... check for the nutritions... if anything has fiber and protein along with Carb then it is good... they are called complex carbs... simple carb is bad which is white rice and white flour and all forms of sugar(white sugar, nattu sakarai, Vellam) - all has just Carb which will spike glucose in the blood and so insulin... complex Carb gives steady release of energy so we don’t get hunger quickly and we don’t overboard our pancreas to create more insulin at one shot... along with all these more portions of vegetables are very much mandatory...with all these we won’t become diabetes and we can reduce bad cholesterol... looks like we can reduce acid reflux and heartburn also with this good quality diet...
Barrett's Esophagus? Hi Dr. Berg: Have been following you for several years and there should be more enlightening professionals like you! I've learned SO much and forever grateful for your dedication to helping others outside the conventional medical realm. Last yr. I was diagnosed with Barrett's esophagus after years of acid reflux, Tums and a year on Omeprazole. Getting unwated side effects from the PPI and want off of it, but scared to because of the Dx. There is no dysphagia. Since swallowing acid foods does irritate my esophagus/throat/mouth, is it still advisable to consume the ACV?
they do, big pharma is their language, they were taught in medical schools where they teach drug medicine. not nutrtion or finding underlying causes. just treat the symptoms and you kow you have a addict, urrrr patient for life.
i know ive gone to multiple docs and the last one was a tcm doc and he told me that the typical doc's don't spend much time on how all the organs play a role in over all health , i think he said they spend about 2-3 hours total while in college. also they just treat the symptoms and not the underline cause
DAY 1 TODAY: I hope this works for me. I thank my Lord and savior Jesus for people like you sharing this. Had GERD for 2 months now with a lot of medications that don't really get rid of it. I'm having trust issues with the meds because some of them makes it hard to breathe and makes me drowsy. I hope this works. God bless you Dr. Berg!
I just told a coworker earlier this week to take some dill pickles slices instead of tums for a change , when he was complaining of heartburn. He said it oddly enough helped. ha. Then I hadda explain the he could take ACV instead. .... I been doin this for several years. ACV or sauerkraut, or anything fermented/pickled. Always been able to eat whatever I wanted. Cept now I choose to eat less and different..... Thanks in partial to Doc Berg. Ha
So would kefir work? I actually have the live thingies (idk what they are called) I just have them in a glass container and pour milk over them. Then after a couple days it’s it becomes kefir. Would that help with gerd? My husband has gerd and I’m concerned for him. I want to help him. Please reply, thank you 😊
Thank you for this breakdown. I have been suffering for chronic gastritis for over 10 years. I had my first major flare up from taking progesterone as it also relaxes the sphincter. It caused the acid to seep through to my lungs. I thought I was having an asthma/heart attack and could not breath. No one at ER could diagnosis me and my other doctor mentioned its the acid in my stomach. I don't want to live on medication for the rest of my life and I am concerned if I get pregnant what would happen. I will start with the ACV immediately every morning and Betaine if necessary. Thanks again! I will provide another update in 2 months.
Hunter Dean Thanks for the insight, maybe that’s that I’m doing wrong, I didn’t have acid as bad but now I got it again, must be all the sugar and carbs I’ve been consuming again
My man.... I had severe acid reflux problems... To the point where I couldn't even keep water down ans puked it out all day long. Somehow I ended up trying out ACV because the doctor told me that I'm overweight (which I kind of am) and that is causing the acid reflux. I tried it out and my acid reflux started getting better. I thought well okay it works and continued using it, have been using since the last 4 years. It is today, after 4 years, that I have understood the real reason why it worked 🙌✨ thanks a lot for this golden info man 💯💯
From experience, having suffered from Acid Reflux for years, it was caused by stress. Immediately, after I dealt with the stressors in my life, I eliminated AR, together with slight adjustments to my food intake.
@@jojoubadi696 mine exactly the same but i cant control anxiety. Diagnosed with general anxiety disorder. Anti deps havent helped. But… when mind calm gerd non existent. Autonomous nervous system explanation Dr Berg gives imo
I used to have severe acid reflux especially in the morning when I don't eat breakfast. But after few months of IF and KETO, it goes away. I always wondered what causes it.
@@don1041 I think you should start by removing sugar and lessening refined carbs in your diet. And eat less frequent and don't take snacks. Then start with a 16:8 IF. In two to three days you'll see the difference.
I’m suffering acid reflux for months now. In fact I just finished the Zenpro (Omeprazole) last night but my throat is bothering me at night which feels discomfort. So far I don’t feel any heart burns during sleep and there improvements in my digestion coz I don’t feel any gases in my stomach at the middle of the night. After watching this, I feels like taking ACV to totally end my acid reflux. 😬 Hopefully, this will help me a lot so that I can go back to my regular meals 😬😊.
I've been trying to find a solution for this for years! Thank you so much for the knowledge you've shared here. I thought my GERD would never be cured, till now.
Doctor, I got it after infected with H Pylori, after which burning sensation in stomach, vomiting sensation. Initially went to modern doctors for H Pylori, lots of medicine taken for 7 to 8 years, thsn tried my own method. H Pylori was diagnosed in 1995. Doctor, I realused that 4 to 5 years ago and started chewing on 3 tamarinds for 1 month and stopped but than I was paralysed left side for 2 months, eating was difficult but healed, tried the same agai after 2 months, this time the paralyses was so severe that I couldnt eat anything, was using pipe to eat. I am still experimenting. Lots of health issues, after this diverted my attention from this, but again currently i found out that all my ills is the Acid reflux or GERD and Easophagus and How to Reduce Acid Reflux naturally is what I am researching. My aura got diminished, no progress in life are all connected to how my health is.
Thank you for the truth! You're a blessing for our health. Actually, doctors don't know because they don't search the causes. They should actually shut up if they don't know. But, they make themselves sound smart by saying"we don't know", as if to say 'if we don't know then it doesn't exist'.
Hey Dr. Berg, that was a very good one. You explained it in a simple way as you always do. Besides these, I have heard that We should sleep on our left to reduce the risk of heartburn. could you please share your thoughts about it doc? Thanks:)
Friends from out of town visited yesterday, we ate out and I had tacos in their shells and some potatoes I'm not use to having carbs like that then later I even ate popcorn while they were here... and I had terrible terrible heartburn today ugh! Watched this video and was a little scared to add acv to my tummy but I did and I feel soooooo much better!! Everything online says to decrease acid! I'm glad I listen to Dr Berg instead! Thank you for these amazing videos!!
Thank you Dr. BERG. I suffer from acid reflux for many years, always taking tums. I stop the tums cause I started to feel better since I've taking your gallbladder formula because of also bloatingness. I also take B12, D3 with K, B complex, zinc, iron and Vitamin C. I take iron & C because I'm anemic. But all the rest I take it cause Dr. Berg has talked about it before. Thank you so much Dr. Berg, you have been a blessing in my life. In the near future I will try more of your products. May the Lord keep you safe 💓
The root cause for me was gluten. I moved to Asia and could not eat burgers and bread everyday and my GERD went away in two weeks. I suffered from it for 10 years and took nexium for 7 years. ACV helps though and the doctor is right about that.
I've been taking prescriptions like omeprazole and then ensoprazole for almost two months now and nothing seems to work. Things are getting worse to the point every meal, no matter the size will lead to the same old burning sensation and the production of white phlegm constantly. I'm really desperate and my gastro obviously can't help me. I will defenetly give this a try and see if I can have my life back. Thank you Doctor!
As a chronic sufferer of this for over 20 years, I don't fully agree with this. Not everyone has too little acid in their stomachs. I actually suffer from hyperacidity caused by stress and other factors. If I drink ACV I feel like I am adding acid to acid. It is the most uncomfortable feeling in my stomach. Don't believe me? Even my stool burns! - TOO MUCH ACID
I was fooled into believing that I would have to take chronic meds for the rest of my life...so "they" said...until I came across Dr Berg's videos, quit all medication prescribed by doctors, took Dr Berg's advice, put his theories to the test for 3wks and haven't looked back and that was more than a year ago. ThanQ Dr Berg!
I’ve been taking apple cider vinegar for two months now things are definitely improving considerably!! I’m going to check my multivitamin for those other vitamins you mentioned just to make sure I’m totally covered though
I got ulcerations in my mouth from acid refluxing while sleeping into my mouth. I put the head of my bed on 8 inch blocks so that my head was above my stomach and solved that issue. My osteopath suggested no dairy, no gluten diet...., and to increase vitamin D for my GERD. I have been off all stomach meds for 4 yrs now. Love my osteopath!
@@ithacacomments4811 wao. Thanks for your quick response. What vitamins fo you take? Because I have esophagitis and a rupture stomach lining. Please can advice me what to do. The ppis is really affecting me. Please.

My doctors told me I had GERD … it was reoccurring acute pancreatitis. My husband was also diagnosed with Barrett’s Disease and GERD. Actually, he has EOE. An allergy test told him he is allergic to EVERYTHING 2:15 (eggs, dairy, carrots, green beans, wheat gluten, cod, halibut, hops, all nuts sans pecans, so much more…). Not many people or physicians know about EOE and the inflammation. I was looking for a Dr Berg video on EOE educating the public. The EOE presents as GERD (severe “heartburn” with Haitial hernia feeling) my guess is that there are a million or so people who are eating foods they shouldn’t and would feel 100% better simply by treating their EOE by proper diet. PleSe make a video!!!!!
My acid reflux has got worse recently. Definitely connected to posture. I’m 69, 5’9 185. A bit overweight and sit or lay down often. If my back is not strait up, or I bend over say using a towel to dry myself off after showering, I get Gerd instantly. And I have not ate or drank anything beforehand after getting out of bed. The upper sphincter must be opening up when I bend over, or causing a kink allowing the valve to open. I’ll try the ACV and HCL Betaine again
When I gave up anything with white table Sugar, my serious acid reflux disease went away! And I check my ph balance twice a week.....I keep it at around 7...
Earlier i used to suffer from acidity, indigestion, constipation... Started OMAD...i am more lighter, relaxed. i now understand, OMAD is my capacity & all the life i would dump 3MAD. Morning: coconut oil +pinch turmeric +sea salt +pepper + 2 glass warm water Afternoon Meals. Evening 2 glass Warm water +lemon +honey +1 spoon ACV +1/4 jamun vinegar. Thanks dr Berg for OMAD, ACV, Butter.
I was on acid reflux medicine until I found a video similar to this that explained that people with acid reflux stomachs are like if you put an alka-seltzer in two little water and it bubbles up the rest of the glass. That video also recommended increasing your acid with ACV or lemon juice. I drink lemon water and if it is really bad I take a shot of lemon juice. I also take apple cider vinegar capsules as I don’t like the taste as much lemon juice.
I got GERD out of nowhere. Had great luck with betaine hcl and reflux went away for about 1.5 months. Started doing herbal antimicrobials and probiotic to eliminate potential issues neutralizing my acid for that same timeframe. Now all the sudden the betaine hcl isn't working anymore, I'm getting chest pain and burning back. So now I'm doing hiatal exercises and trying to strengthen the LES. It's super discouraging. I'm a "healthy" 35 year old fit male and taking plenty of zinc, C, B12, b complex, iodine, sea salt.... I wouldn't wish GERD on my worst enemy.
Dr Berg I owe you an immense debt, I was on Anti Acids for 20 years, but used your videos to come off these using HCL and Pepsin tablets which has also has helped my intolerances to wheat and dairy. Thank you so much🙏
This was my cure which I suffered from for 10 years long ... many doctors said taking PPI is life long, and no side effects... but they were gravely wrong....many doctors were prescribing PPI...ever month i have to renew, the prescriptions and non cared to trouble shoot.....they said try stopping gradually...but the day i stopped the PPI next day symptoms comes back My cure was like this: 1- Stoppedcarbohydrated beverages, 2- intermittent fasting 3- if i feel burning, i take one spoon of ACV... Now two years passed i am off meditations ... don’t need to take ACV , except very rarely, that is if i eat after 9 pm Thank you Dr Burg
This is one of the reasons I have decided against the gastric sleeve surgery. People have the surgery and loose a ton of weight but they are miserable from acid reflex flair ups every two hours. This is because along with 85% of the stomach they also take out 85% of the stomach acid.
Here's what I don't understand. Why do doctors prescribe PPI and H2 Receptor Blockers if they know these medications will decrease stomach acid, which is the cause of GERD? I've noticed this also with other medications which were prescribed to treat a specific condition, but when I read the side effects it actually states it will cause the condition that I'm trying to treat. How does this make any sense? Are doctors trying to purposely harm their patients?
I had pretty bad acid reflux on and of before and could feel bloated and burping quite much. I decreased the coffee a bit. But the major change I did was to NOT drink anything 1 hr before to 1 hr after eating. My thought was that if I do not dilute the stomach acid with any fluid it would do the best work with the food. It worked but it took a couple of weeks. Every now and then I can drink with the food if I want with no problem.
A couple questions.. you said if the stomach acid is the right ph, the valve will remain closed... but I thought the stomach acid ph wasn't the problem? The problem was not enough acid. Another question, you said sea salt contains the needed iodine, yet I don't believe sea salt has iodine, only table salt is fortified with it. Looking forward to your reply :)
another symptom you can add is chronic throat clearing (I get this alot) when I take digestive enzymes the throat clearing goes away which is how I know it is my stomach causing the throat clearing not allergies. also I believe that the bacteria you speak of is the result of low acid not hte cause, microbes get blamed so much for things whenthey are at the scene ofthe crime. I dont get alot of burning except a tiny bit in the lower part of the esohphgus, but the throat clearing is very annoying sometimes disturbing my sleep. throat clearing can be exhausting when your trying to hike a trail and it just wont stop and then suddenly it stops. weird.
Loved the video!!! PTH imbalances can also cause the same symptoms yet your TSH may be fine. One single biggest reason proper diagnosis takes almost a lifetime, is a Full blood work up does not include all tests such as PTH due to Costs.
LOVE THIS VIDEO .... *My granddaughter has it , because the sphincter stays OPEN and she's only 3 months old. She can't even keep food or drink in her stomach*
Thank you, in the past doctor's would give me anti acid meds and it got worse. Now I have gluten intolerance. I started reading Health books and you are right.
Excellent video. My brother-in-law developed tracheal cancer because of this condition. He took loads of antacids for 20 years to fight his acid reflux, and this habit actually caused the cancer. The surgery was devastating. He became a human science project. He survived, but the cost was immense. He needed this info from Dr Berg, who is doing more good with his You Tube channel than most doctors do in their entire careers. Thanks, doc!
That's terrible, I'm sorry for him
are you certain ? tracheal is caused by smoking affecting the lungs....antacids actually reversal of the condition.
I agree. Most doctors just prescribe these useless medications.
Low stomach acid leads to cancer because foods cannot be digested without acid. You body should be alkaline but your stomach should be acidic.
@@germanshepherdmom1143 They work well but they cause other health problems.
I was diagnosed with GERD in my mid 20's. I took a daily dose of omeprazole for more than 2 decades. Then I discovered apple cider vinegar. along with low carb and IF, heartburn is very rare now, and when it does pop up, a single shot of apple cider vinegar & the symptoms are gone instantly! 54 and never felt this good
Wow, it's amazing your bones held up this long being on that stuff. I'm happy for you !

@@Cycle4Life12 GERD is totally gone. the only time I have heartburn now is when I consume concentrated carbs, eg birthday cake..

How did you wean off the omeprazole? i have been on them for 10 years now and tried to stop twice.
Dr. Berg, you just saved my life, literally. Thank God for your wisdom. There is so much false information on the internet, but you're not misleading people. Again, thank you for all you do.
Agree he knows his stuff👍
hi, may i know what did you try to help your problems?
My partner has a hernia and has been hospitalised several times for really really extreme heartburn. They keep prescribing more antacids that are just stronger. Are you the only doctor that knows this?? It feels like the medical industry is so much about drug pushing and symptom treating. You explain the root cause. I wish you were my doctor!
I’ve had acid reflux for more than 7 years now. I had the worst symptom last week, there’s a persistent sour taste in my mouth and shortness of breathe. After a week of taking acv before and after every meal for a week. I felt so much better now. I know this sounds impossible but beer actually lessen my symptoms too.
Dr. Berg would be charged with malpractice if he was a medical doctor in America. I am happy he is not one because he can share his knowledge freely without the medical laws hindering him..
@@marcopablo8247 How much apple cider vinegar do you drink before and after every meal? I'll have to try this
@@rileyg8265 2 tablespoon before breakfast and the same before going to bed.
People need to also be responsible for their own health. Doctors are there to treat. Dr Berg is here to educate - and help people change their diets. He gives you the reason why you should.
I've heard about the connection between heartburn and stomach lacking acid. But never heard how all the other symptoms are also due to taking meds for this issue. Thanks for breaking it down for us.
I suffered from GERD for over 25 years when I went through a divorce and I've been on acid reflux medication for that long. Last July 2018 I started to watch Dr Berg and started IF then OMAD and have lost 83 pounds so far. I was still on Nexium and was afraid to try acv; but when Dr Berg said to try it and if your stomach hurts that means you have an ulcer I decided to give it a try. I started with one tablespoon of avc in 8oz of water in the morning in the first week and progress to 2 tablespoon of avc in the morning , after my noon omad meal and before bedtime. I haven't taken any acid reflux medication in six weeks and my digestion is so much better. Thank you so much Dr Berg for the great free service you're doing for this community.
Awsome!! Am trying to do OMAD, not sure what to eat or how much, any suggestions? Thank you kindly.
Please give us another update , how are you feeling these days? I hope well 🙏 ☺. I'm currently on the road to recovery as well, meds free!
What is IF and OMAD? Please don’t use undefined acronyms! Thanks.

I had GERD for years. I had a laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication (GERD surgery) with a hiatal hernia repair 12 years ago. I had developed Barrett’s esophaguses (precancerous changes to the esophaguses from the reflux) & surgery is one of the only ways to correct it. When my weight changed I started having reflux symptoms again but then I finally discovered Keto. Just the change in my diet has improved my stomach so that now I don’t have to worry about it anymore!
I'm 68. Been pursuing the path of healthy Keto for 5 weeks gave up soda pop best thing I have done went from 255 to 230. Have gotten Gerd about 70% under control. Eric I love this man . Thanks for all you have done.
I recently was on the verge of hospitalization due to severe digest issues that had lasted 18 months - someone suggested I drink lemon peel (grate, grind, blend the peel with water) fixed my issue.
What about lime?
@@genacat4599 I haven't tried it, but probably will work
After watching this video i bought me a bottle of apple cider vinegar. Taking two table spoons per day (before breakfast and dinner) combined with half glass of water. Horrible taste. But some magic happend. My acide reflux and heart burn faded away in two days! As if i can breath again. What a relief. Thank you Dr. Eric Berg and greetings from The Netherlands!
Have you had regurgitation? And indigestion before starting acv?
@@АднанХан I have all you listed?
I’ve been suffering with gerd for 2years. I’ve done a lot of research and experimentation into this matter. This information is consistent with my findings. Great video dr berg. Love the video screen too. Very cool.
Hello sir..does acv cure lax les ...plz reply plz
Have you understood what helps most?
Hey Dave, what have you found that works for you, I finally figured out what was going on and hope it's not too late. .
You're amazing doctor. Why is that doctors doctors don't explain this? I find that when I'm told the "what" as in what is causing the condition I'm able to then work on the "how" how to fix or make better. Doctors immediately put you on medication and rush you out of their offices. Your video has so much information and your process of how you figure medical conditions is brilliant and yet its easy to follow. Thank you.
My sister-in-law, now 70 years old, began gobbling Tums as a youngster. Baking soda was used, as well. When 'the purple pill' became a thing, she took that, too. She STILL suffers! Many years ago, I read that MOST cases of these conditions were related to too little stomach acid, NOT too much. Doctors simply don't test a patient's stomach acid levels before prescribing medications. Believe me, I tried to tell her these things, to no avail. I keep saying that I'm giving up on trying to help people. Unfortunately, I tend to keep opening my mouth and am rebuked for my efforts. Thankfully, I do have a few like minded friends that I can safely share these topics with. Of course, there are many people here on this channel that I feel free to discuss these things with. I'm VERY grateful for that!! May God bless you all for wanting to know the truth and sharing your nuggets of knowledge with the rest of us! MANY thanks to Dr. Berg for helping SO many of us, as well!!!
Great post. How are you and your sister-in-law doing, if I may ask?
Thanks! Very interesting video. I can see how everything you said just proved to me what I already thought to be true. My mom got gastric bypass surgery 17 years ago and never took multivitamins or supplements and ended up developing the beginnings of Alzheimer’s and dementia. Eight years later, she was unable to swallow for some reason and she kept losing weight. 30 pounds in one month and she didn’t need to lose weight at all. This was in May 2024. After an endoscopy and biopsy, it was discovered she had stage 3 esophageal cancer, likely from GERD she didn’t know she had. She quickly got surgery for a j-tube insertion for nutrition and started chemo and radiation. Since she was 78 and not with much will to do much of anything natural, I supported my parents decision. I took care of her day and night as my husband and I live with them. It was a 5 1/2 week, daily radiation and weekly chemo plan program. She made it through 3 full weeks then died on us in the morning from heart failure. Looking back, she didn’t suffer and died rather quickly. I noticed sharp changes within a 4-day period but blamed the chemo because we really didn’t know what to expect. I think her lungs filled up with fluid and her heart just failed as she coughed up a small amount of blood then died 2 hrs later. From diagnosis to death, she lasted 3 months. I kinda expected her not to make it through the program, but sometimes, there just is not better option. I’ve been watching your videos since 2018 and each and every one is so interesting! Thanks!!
Dr Eric Berg has shocked me again and I am not taking anything medication for my acid reflux now and thank you for putting these videos up
Dr. Berg, your knowledge and videos are the Best!!
100% true. World would have been a lot different with out Dr. Berg. Amazed at the kind of videos he comes up with. Short and to the point for most common health problems people have in the present world.
I used to have acid reflux and found that quitting alcohol, especially wine, fixed this problem for me. I do like wine but it's not worth it.
Dr Berg you are simply a legend. You have a solution to almost every problem out there. Going to the root of the problem! And they work ! Thank you for everything ❤
I was diagnosed with GERD 20 years ago. Tried meds on and off with no real relief. Was recently taking tums every night to be able to lay down to sleep. Had a lot of reflux during the day. Started lemon and ACV water 7 weeks ago and the reflux is 98% gone. I mostly notice it after I have carbs, and even then it’s so minor I hardly notice it. I also started doing intermittent fasting (not great at it yet but do get around 14 hours of fasting each day) and eating more keto meals. I don’t do full keto, but the changes in most of my eating has greatly improved so many things. Drinking the ACV in the water was rough at first because I hate the smell, but now I hardly notice it and actually crave the drink. Dr. Berg is my hero ♥️♥️
Can you pls tell what’s the ratio between acv and lemon you put in water ? Thanks
@@henryhendrika5689 I heat up around 24 oz of water in the microwave for about a minute then add 1-2 tablespoons of ACV and 2-3 tablespoons of organic lemon juice. I add a little honey too which is why I heat the water so it will dissolve easily. I refrigerate overnight and drink half around lunchtime and the other half after dinner. I use a measuring shot glass and just pour the ACV and lemon juice together. Makes it easier 🙂
@@Avalexcyn thank you so much for your response . I am wondering if you took betaine Hcl too to cure acid reflux
@@henryhendrika5689 no I didn’t

This is EXACTLY my case !! My DOCTORS never take time to realize this !! They don't even listen .. I followed their treatment of antacids for 3 months and I became unable to digest food !! I'm basically WORSE than ever before ...

@@salmanashweeh1010 No, i tried it and it didn't work for me ... Later i found out that I had a hiatal hernia. Which means my problem is not even acid reflux but the opening in the diaphragm.
@@kahinaharrache6038 i'm no expert on the subject but having some issues myself on and off..have you tried having something with good bacteria each day? i am also taking that, i can't digest food properly without it..in am from uk, we have actimel here but i'm vegan and also jain, so now a dairy free version has come out, i tried that one, bit expensive for me but it's working well as long as i eat less food in each sitting, which suits me anyway, i just get hungry sometimes and eat one cracker which helps with stomach acid when i have reflux.
Thank you for this information! I was just diagnosed with these issues and advised to take antacids and PPI - but common sense told me that a life time of reducing the acidity of stomach acid would probably not be good for long term overall health. I woke up this morning to alert from TH-cam and there was your video with the information that I have spent all week researching! Thank you so much for what you to and what you give. You are truly a blessing.
Caryn Bellavia have you tried it?
AgentRedWolf Yes, and it completely worked for me. I take 1-2 T of ACV prior to eating, last meal of the day is several hours before bed, and make sure I eat at least one large salad with leafy greens, nuts or seeds, and boiled eggs. I haven’t had one symptom or flare up all week. 😋
Wat symptoms u had..burning throat?
But do you know how achlohydria, a condition where there's no acid in the stomach, can cause acid reflux???? There's no acid im so confused
I had acid reflux really bad. Dr told me I have to take nexiurm for the rest of life. I doctored myself and starting sipping acv everyday. Problem solved.
dogtors knows nuts..
Good for you!
How long have you been at it?
It's a shame that some Dr dont keep themselves up to date and heavily rely on drugs which pharmaceuticals companies are making a lot money, if we dont take their drugs they would go bankrupt , my advise is : educate yourself (like Dr berg videos) , exercises, eat more vegetables limited fruits, eat max 2 meals a day , have a good sleep the rest our body can take care of the rest , we will hopefully stay away from visiting Doctors
@@KawaiiPinkPunkStar I did it for a few months. The symptoms went away. I had it so bad I got bahretts Esophagus. My GI Dr told me I had to do endoscopic 2x per year. After taking acv he said come back in 3 yrs. He didn't understand why my bahretts esophagus nearly disappeared. When I told him about the acv he just shrugged his shoulders lol
Dr. Berg don’t forget to mention in the video not just in the description, where does the information come from. That gives more credibility in a faster way. Thanks for your video!
Dear Doctor Eric. Thank you for your informative video on acid reflux. I was having a problem with this and I looked up information on the internet and some of the things it was saying were don't eat tomatoes, tomato based products and lose weight and some other things I can't remember but the doctor I was going to ,who I quit wanted to give me a proton inhibitors which I said no I will not start doing that because I'm not really a person that jumps to Medicine. But then I looked up information on the proton inhibitors and found out that there is some nasty rebound when you want to come off these inhibitors. It's a doggone shame that patients have to become their own doctors to to properly take care of themselves but I am grateful so grateful to you that you break it down step-by-step so we can understand how we can help our bodies. Much appreciated Celia
I started having GERD and started on ACV and then IF and have no attacks since. Thank you Dr Berg
What is IF?
@@Soul-yx9if intermittent fasting
Very well put. I am a retired physician (MD) and have had these problems recently, and actually had to go to ER with severe chest pain and intrascapuIar pain . Diagnosis was made of esophagitis. Have been placed on PPI's , which I do NOT want to take long term for obvious reasons. I had been giving myself Apple Cider Vinegar daily, but seemed to develop a sour stomach from it after a couple of months, so I stopped it. That is when things actually became worse! to the point where one night I had to go to ER with the severe pain. Your points are well taken. I will try going back on ACV at a lower dose for a while to see how I do. I do want to make sure the esophagitis is settled though as ACV will burn a raw esophagus. Thanks you for your presentation.

General question to ask... did u stop your Prilosec or pantoprazole first then started taking all supplements along with ACV?
@@79sverma Yes, I stopped taking my prescription’s and just went for it. It took about a week for the acid to regulate in my stomach and was still getting it but it has finally went away.

I have acid reflux added apple cider vinegar gummies B4 I eat now I feel much better
I am trying the ACV once a day at 6 PM, one hour after I eat dinner and so far so good. I have suffered from heartburn for 15+ years. I took Zantac for five years and have been taking omeprazole since. One thing I have noticed is if I eat products high in preservatives such as flavored chips, certain off the shelf cookies anything really from the snack aisle that has artificial flavor I get unbelievable heartburn almost immediately. I’ve even trained my body to not turn over on my right side until at least 3 o’clock in the morning while sleeping. Any time before that instant acid reflux. Of course we all know why that is. I’m only on my third day but crossing my fingers that this is a successful remedy for me. Thank you for all your help and advice.
hello, how have you been doing? does ACV help with your heartburn?
@@PCyianq No it was not a successful remedy for me. After the fourth day I started to experience heartburn all day long and was in a lot of discomfort.

What I've read is that it can cause issues with relaxing the upper sphincter. After watching this video today I got some of the Mother ACV and I'm already feeling better. I'm also trying to do intermittent fasting and only eating in a five hour window. Thanks for these videos and you're a life saver!

Hi I watched your video on sugar, I have had GERD for 2 years, last month was diagnosed with PCOS, I also had inflammation in my ankle joints. I stopped eating sugar and carbs four days ago. Today is the first time in 2 years I do not have any acid reflux. Thanks so much, I am convinced by my own evidence.
Hello, did you also stop eating bread, flour products ?
I’ve been diagnosed with severe gastritis, a small hiatal hernia, moderate duodenitis, and severe pylorospasms.
The symptoms I felt seemed to have started after my cholecystectomy, so I grabbed some of your gallbladder formula. It didn’t seem to help so I stopped using it in the moment.
I was on the freeway and suddenly felt anxious. I didn’t and still don’t feel right. Every time I use the restroom, I burn below. I’m even occasionally bleeding.
As of a week ago, I have the diagnosis I mentioned above and have been put on pantoprazole. I can’t find my gallbladder formula yet, but when I do, I’m hoping this was all just my body not having enough bile to neutralize the acid from my stomach.
The GI said there’s no H. Pylori anywhere, and that many of my symptoms could have been caused by stress.
I absolutely agree with those below regarding apple cider vinegar! I take two capsules (yes you can get in capsules now in any drugstore) every morning and then if I should run into a food that causes my reflux, I use another two and it goes away. Drink with plenty of water. And... Your Welcome!!!
Thank you
How much Apple Cider Vinegar should you take? And what time of the day should you take it and how many times in a day?
In other videos he suggests 2 tables spoons mixed in water, in the morning on an empty stomach, but if you feel that’s too strong with breakfast??
I had Gerd for years I would throw up every morning and would feel sick randomly throughout the day.
I tried taking ACV once a day and increased my Zinc and now I never or very rarely get those same Gerd symptoms.
Thanks Dr Berg

@@davide0o.o0o06 they are 90% gone. If I don't take the acv for awhile I'll start to feel it coming back but it's not a matter of days more weeks.
I do a mix of the liquid and pills. The liquid seems to work more instantaneously but the pills are convenient. I felt relief of symptoms within days of starting. It was pretty amazing compared to "take this pill for the rest of your life"
I take a zinc/copper supplement for a a fanily history of aneurysms.
Good luck, hope it helps
@@stevemasterson7776how did u take the apple cider vinager? Did u diluted in water or straight ACV? And if u did how much?
Thank you so much the bloating and chest pains went away as soon as i added ACV to my diet during meals. Ordered Betaine HCL and hoping for an even faster recovery!
How you feel after the Betaine...
how u feel now
What's the situation now?
I had acid reflux. it started 25 years ago. Before I took the meds that was offered, I did a study. I found that acid reflux began with the automobile. With the automobile came the cafe along the road. The cafe didn't want the consumer to sit waiting, so they began bringing the salad and drinks first. Putting salad and drinks in the belly before the protein caused the stomach acid to be diluted so that the protein could not be broken down when it was placed into the stomach last. Heartburn. By ending all fluids and carbs before protein, I lost all heartburn instantly. I have now the need to end fructose intake for other reasons, but to end my heartburn I did not change the fructose intake. Sugar is half sucrose and fructose. Don't let cafes ruin your health.
Definitely going to try this! PS someone should tell big pharma this. I hope everyone with Gerd, acid reflux sees this video.
This doctor book is a life change 👏👏👏
Spot on, I had it for years and started taking ACV, now it's no more.

I also have hiatal hernia diagnosedduring endoscopy. I am facing gerd. Please guide how you managed it
@@haroonrashid9176what symptoms do you have? And what are you consuming? I have gerd ad well with shortness of breathing
Dr Berg, I had watched the video you did on SIBO and started taking HCL supplement. What a life saver you are. I don’t have constipation and bloating anymore. I used to have this horrible heartburn. It used to feel like a hot knife was going they my throat. Now once in a while I feel a mild burning sensation and I take HCL or drink apple cider vinegar and it goes away fast.
Thank you!
Do you have sibo?
I was just prescribed omeprazole.. for acid reflux.. just started taking it yesterday, am going to try this.. i prefer not to be medicated through drugs and dr berg here and just pointted out that its the wrong thing to be doing anyway, so fortunate to have him teaching us how to be healthy without drugs ❤
I'm a big fan! I'm hooked on getting my body on track because I never knew alot of the stuff that's been going wrong has been the product of not getting enough vitamins and minerals and eating too much bread and sugars. I feel a lot better now that I'm literally watching what I eat. This visceral belly fat is now starting to dissipate and drop. I'm working out more and just watching Dr. Berg tell it like it is.
My father and paternal grandmother both had GERD. Neither smoked, my dad particulary was fit and kept the smae weight all his life. He was still plastering ceilings in his mid-70's. I remember him having white chalky line around his lips as he constantly chewed antacid tablets because of his problem. Both dad and grandma died of stomach/liver cancer. A few years ago I developed Gerd. Again, not over-weight and not a smoker. So I concluded it was down to genetic disposition towards it. i knew I had to do something about it the inflammation and certainly didn't want to take drugs. (i was mindful that dad's chalky tablets covered up and didn't cure the problem.)
So I looked at diet. My dad struggled with some foods and so that was the clue. I researched Keto and low carb. I didn't go full Keto but I drastically cut carbs (wheat was a major problem) but the number one cause of the inflammation was seed oils and margarine. I switched to all good fats like butter and coconut oil and olive oil. I cured my reflux. Just occasionally it comes back and that is entirely due to me eating something I didn't cook myself which has seed oil involved. Reassuring in a way because it proves I have the right culprit.
Janet thank you for sharing your story...Mine is similar also in a way....
I’m the same it runs in my family. My dad died of oesophageal cancer, he had heartburn for years
I was on proton pump inhibitors for three years due to gerd, you’re only supposed to be on them for up to six weeks. I healed the root cause of my gerd.If anyone wants to get off medicine and heal themself its a very easy fix. I suffered quite a bit before I found the simple solution.low hydrochloric acid and unfortunately the meds make it worse. Ginger pickles to build up your stomach acid. Works wonders, I’ve never had another lick of heartburn or gerd since.
This is what I have and since I have been watching your video I learned that once I feel like I have heart burn I take 1 teaspoon of braggs and it’s gone! I used tums like candy and I also use to drink 100 ounces of water per day! I can’t thank you enough!
I had laryngospasm last night. Have had low acidlevels gerd on and off. Drank some diluted apple cider vinegar and ate some sea salt. Made a list of the nutrients .Thanks so much Dr Berg. You are always teaching us. God bless you and the family.
Been doin Intermittent Fasting and keto and i ate the wrong thing at the wrong time. Boosting the acid levels, how amazing!!
The moment I stopped eating refined carbs, all these went away after years of torture.
Now I don't know how that relates to stomach acids, I'm just glad to be rid of it.
And wats refined carbs..how to know..plz explain
@@priyadayanandan9091 refined carbs are white rice, white bread, pasta, white sugar, etc....
@@arivolielampirai2882 can we have traditional rice like seeraga samba rice like dat
@@priyadayanandan9091 மட்டை அரிசி அதை விட சிறந்தது. அதில் complex carbohydrate இருக்கும். அது refined அரிசி போல் உடனே glucose ஆக மாறாது.
@@priyadayanandan9091 I would say most of the white rices are not great with respect to nutritions. because all the nutritions are removed that is why it is white.... it has to be brown rice, red rice, black rice... rice varieties need to have fiber and protein... when rice has fiber you can only chew and eat which is good for your health... you can also take our ancient millets like Kambu, Ragi, thinai, etc... check for the nutritions... if anything has fiber and protein along with Carb then it is good... they are called complex carbs... simple carb is bad which is white rice and white flour and all forms of sugar(white sugar, nattu sakarai, Vellam) - all has just Carb which will spike glucose in the blood and so insulin... complex Carb gives steady release of energy so we don’t get hunger quickly and we don’t overboard our pancreas to create more insulin at one shot... along with all these more portions of vegetables are very much mandatory...with all these we won’t become diabetes and we can reduce bad cholesterol... looks like we can reduce acid reflux and heartburn also with this good quality diet...
Barrett's Esophagus? Hi Dr. Berg: Have been following you for several years and there should be more enlightening professionals like you! I've learned SO much and forever grateful for your dedication to helping others outside the conventional medical realm. Last yr. I was diagnosed with Barrett's esophagus after years of acid reflux, Tums and a year on Omeprazole. Getting unwated side effects from the PPI and want off of it, but scared to because of the Dx. There is no dysphagia. Since swallowing acid foods does irritate my esophagus/throat/mouth, is it still advisable to consume the ACV?
Dr. Berg, you need to teach Doctors how to explain to their patients their health issues because sometimes I feel like they speak another language.
they do, big pharma is their language, they were taught in medical schools where they teach drug medicine. not nutrtion or finding underlying causes. just treat the symptoms and you kow you have a addict, urrrr patient for life.

@@rosesmith6208 100% Spot on.
i know ive gone to multiple docs and the last one was a tcm doc and he told me that the typical doc's don't spend much time on how all the organs play a role in over all health , i think he said they spend about 2-3 hours total while in college. also they just treat the symptoms and not the underline cause
Language and arrogance lead to patients suffering and not being asked enough questions.
DAY 1 TODAY:
I hope this works for me. I thank my Lord and savior Jesus for people like you sharing this.
Had GERD for 2 months now with a lot of medications that don't really get rid of it. I'm having trust issues with the meds because some of them makes it hard to breathe and makes me drowsy. I hope this works. God bless you Dr. Berg!
Did it work? Perhaps you healed and forgot this comment u made. I’m having similar probs right now
I had no idea of what my condition was, or how to go about helping myself, I thank you with all my heart 🥰
I just told a coworker earlier this week to take some dill pickles slices instead of tums for a change , when he was complaining of heartburn. He said it oddly enough helped. ha. Then I hadda explain the he could take ACV instead. .... I been doin this for several years. ACV or sauerkraut, or anything fermented/pickled. Always been able to eat whatever I wanted. Cept now I choose to eat less and different..... Thanks in partial to Doc Berg. Ha
So would kefir work? I actually have the live thingies (idk what they are called) I just have them in a glass container and pour milk over them. Then after a couple days it’s it becomes kefir. Would that help with gerd? My husband has gerd and I’m concerned for him. I want to help him. Please reply, thank you 😊
Hi..does acv helps to cure gerd...pl reply
Thank you for this breakdown. I have been suffering for chronic gastritis for over 10 years. I had my first major flare up from taking progesterone as it also relaxes the sphincter. It caused the acid to seep through to my lungs. I thought I was having an asthma/heart attack and could not breath. No one at ER could diagnosis me and my other doctor mentioned its the acid in my stomach. I don't want to live on medication for the rest of my life and I am concerned if I get pregnant what would happen. I will start with the ACV immediately every morning and Betaine if necessary. Thanks again! I will provide another update in 2 months.
So, how did it go?
Update?
Why do people OFFER an update and never do it?!
So i heard him explaining that gerd is acid reflux and gastritis is actually bile reflux. Taking acv for gastritis might not solve the problèm.
Some time it makes me think if they have been paid by this channel.
I used to get heartburn all the time but ever since I cut out all the sugar I haven't had it at all.
Hunter Dean Thanks for the insight, maybe that’s that I’m doing wrong, I didn’t have acid as bad but now I got it again, must be all the sugar and carbs I’ve been consuming again
@@ThePlaystationGoon Thats definitely what causes me to get it. Everyone is different though.
sugar can definitely be a trigger.
Sugar and flour = cookies cake pie ice cream bread chips and on and on.
Sugar should be avoided for sure but I don't think it triggers acid reflux. It's coffee, chocolate, citrus, onion, garlic, etc.
My man.... I had severe acid reflux problems... To the point where I couldn't even keep water down ans puked it out all day long. Somehow I ended up trying out ACV because the doctor told me that I'm overweight (which I kind of am) and that is causing the acid reflux. I tried it out and my acid reflux started getting better. I thought well okay it works and continued using it, have been using since the last 4 years.
It is today, after 4 years, that I have understood the real reason why it worked 🙌✨ thanks a lot for this golden info man 💯💯
hey , do u feel sore throat too cuz of this acid reflux or burning sensation in stomach or food pipe? nd how r u doing now
From experience, having suffered from Acid Reflux for years, it was caused by stress. Immediately, after I dealt with the stressors in my life, I eliminated AR, together with slight adjustments to my food intake.
How is your diet ?
So you stopped stressing and your acid reflux just disappeared

@@sunbaga53 intermittent fasting
Maybe Carbs
@@don1041 I think you should start by removing sugar and lessening refined carbs in your diet. And eat less frequent and don't take snacks. Then start with a 16:8 IF. In two to three days you'll see the difference.
Jimmy White what type of plants?
I’m suffering acid reflux for months now. In fact I just finished the Zenpro (Omeprazole) last night but my throat is bothering me at night which feels discomfort. So far I don’t feel any heart burns during sleep and there improvements in my digestion coz I don’t feel any gases in my stomach at the middle of the night. After watching this, I feels like taking ACV to totally end my acid reflux. 😬 Hopefully, this will help me a lot so that I can go back to my regular meals 😬😊.
How did the ACV work for you

Every person I treat suffers from this and this is an excellent post explaining what is happening.
Doctor, I got it after infected with H Pylori, after which burning sensation in stomach, vomiting sensation. Initially went to modern doctors for H Pylori, lots of medicine taken for 7 to 8 years, thsn tried my own method. H Pylori was diagnosed in 1995.
Doctor, I realused that 4 to 5 years ago and started chewing on 3 tamarinds for 1 month and stopped but than I was paralysed left side for 2 months, eating was difficult but healed, tried the same agai after 2 months, this time the paralyses was so severe that I couldnt eat anything, was using pipe to eat. I am still experimenting. Lots of health issues, after this diverted my attention from this, but again currently i found out that all my ills is the Acid reflux or GERD and Easophagus and How to Reduce Acid Reflux naturally is what I am
researching. My aura got diminished, no progress in life are all connected to how my health is.
Thank you for the truth! You're a blessing for our health. Actually, doctors don't know because they don't search the causes. They should actually shut up if they don't know. But, they make themselves sound smart by saying"we don't know", as if to say 'if we don't know then it doesn't exist'.
Hey Dr. Berg, that was a very good one. You explained it in a simple way as you always do. Besides these, I have heard that We should sleep on our left to reduce the risk of heartburn. could you please share your thoughts about it doc? Thanks:)
Friends from out of town visited yesterday, we ate out and I had tacos in their shells and some potatoes I'm not use to having carbs like that then later I even ate popcorn while they were here... and I had terrible terrible heartburn today ugh! Watched this video and was a little scared to add acv to my tummy but I did and I feel soooooo much better!! Everything online says to decrease acid! I'm glad I listen to Dr Berg instead! Thank you for these amazing videos!!
Thank you Dr. BERG. I suffer from acid reflux for many years, always taking tums. I stop the tums cause I started to feel better since I've taking your gallbladder formula because of also bloatingness. I also take B12, D3 with K, B complex, zinc, iron and Vitamin C. I take iron & C because I'm anemic. But all the rest I take it cause Dr. Berg has talked about it before. Thank you so much Dr. Berg, you have been a blessing in my life. In the near future I will try more of your products. May the Lord keep you safe 💓
How's the problem going?
Seemingly acv is making worse. But baking soda is making pain symptom disappear. Also dairy may be triggering “acid reflux”…?
The root cause for me was gluten. I moved to Asia and could not eat burgers and bread everyday and my GERD went away in two weeks. I suffered from it for 10 years and took nexium for 7 years. ACV helps though and the doctor is right about that.
I had acid reflux 35 years. ACV everyday has stopped it unless I eat really late. Also ACV has stopped almost all my horrible night time leg cramps.
For real?
Dr. Berg, thanks God, we have you. The more I watch your videos, the more I want to watch..... 🙏Thank you SO much, our doctor.
I've been taking prescriptions like omeprazole and then ensoprazole for almost two months now and nothing seems to work. Things are getting worse to the point every meal, no matter the size will lead to the same old burning sensation and the production of white phlegm constantly. I'm really desperate and my gastro obviously can't help me. I will defenetly give this a try and see if I can have my life back. Thank you Doctor!
As a chronic sufferer of this for over 20 years, I don't fully agree with this. Not everyone has too little acid in their stomachs. I actually suffer from hyperacidity caused by stress and other factors. If I drink ACV I feel like I am adding acid to acid. It is the most uncomfortable feeling in my stomach. Don't believe me? Even my stool burns! - TOO MUCH ACID
I was fooled into believing that I would have to take chronic meds for the rest of my life...so "they" said...until I came across Dr Berg's videos, quit all medication prescribed by doctors, took Dr Berg's advice, put his theories to the test for 3wks and haven't looked back and that was more than a year ago. ThanQ Dr Berg!
I’ve been taking apple cider vinegar for two months now things are definitely improving considerably!! I’m going to check my multivitamin for those other vitamins you mentioned just to make sure I’m totally covered though
I got ulcerations in my mouth from acid refluxing while sleeping into my mouth. I put the head of my bed on 8 inch blocks so that my head was above my stomach and solved that issue.
My osteopath suggested no dairy, no gluten diet...., and to increase vitamin D for my GERD.
I have been off all stomach meds for 4 yrs now. Love my osteopath!

My doctors told me I had GERD … it was reoccurring acute pancreatitis. My husband was also diagnosed with Barrett’s Disease and GERD. Actually, he has EOE. An allergy test told him he is allergic to EVERYTHING 2:15 (eggs, dairy, carrots, green beans, wheat gluten, cod, halibut, hops, all nuts sans pecans, so much more…).
Not many people or physicians know about EOE and the inflammation. I was looking for a Dr Berg video on EOE educating the public. The EOE presents as GERD (severe “heartburn” with Haitial hernia feeling) my guess is that there are a million or so people who are eating foods they shouldn’t and would feel 100% better simply by treating their EOE by proper diet.
PleSe make a video!!!!!
My acid reflux has got worse recently. Definitely connected to posture. I’m 69, 5’9 185. A bit overweight and sit or lay down often. If my back is not strait up, or I bend over say using a towel to dry myself off after showering, I get Gerd instantly. And I have not ate or drank anything beforehand after getting out of bed. The upper sphincter must be opening up when I bend over, or causing a kink allowing the valve to open. I’ll try the ACV and HCL Betaine again
When I gave up anything with white table Sugar, my serious acid reflux disease went away! And I check my ph balance twice a week.....I keep it at around 7...

@@sunbaga53 One Meal A Day
I was on acid reflux medicine until I found a video similar to this that explained that people with acid reflux stomachs are like if you put an alka-seltzer in two little water and it bubbles up the rest of the glass. That video also recommended increasing your acid with ACV or lemon juice. I drink lemon water and if it is really bad I take a shot of lemon juice. I also take apple cider vinegar capsules as I don’t like the taste as much lemon juice.
I got GERD out of nowhere. Had great luck with betaine hcl and reflux went away for about 1.5 months. Started doing herbal antimicrobials and probiotic to eliminate potential issues neutralizing my acid for that same timeframe.
Now all the sudden the betaine hcl isn't working anymore, I'm getting chest pain and burning back.
So now I'm doing hiatal exercises and trying to strengthen the LES. It's super discouraging. I'm a "healthy" 35 year old fit male and taking plenty of zinc, C, B12, b complex, iodine, sea salt.... I wouldn't wish GERD on my worst enemy.
I would. My enemies are really bad
Dr Berg I owe you an immense debt, I was on Anti Acids for 20 years, but used your videos to come off these using HCL and Pepsin tablets which has also has helped my intolerances to wheat and dairy. Thank you so much🙏
Are you also taking acv capsule together with HCl?
This was my cure which I suffered from for 10 years long ... many doctors said taking PPI is life long, and no side effects... but they were gravely wrong....many doctors were prescribing PPI...ever month i have to renew, the prescriptions and non cared to trouble shoot.....they said try stopping gradually...but the day i stopped the PPI next day symptoms comes back
My cure was like this:
1- Stoppedcarbohydrated beverages,
2- intermittent fasting
3- if i feel burning, i take one spoon of ACV...
Now two years passed i am off meditations ... don’t need to take ACV , except very rarely, that is if i eat after 9 pm
Thank you Dr Burg
26/may/2022... How are you now? 🙏
How are u now I’m 17 suffering from this how much and when did you take acv?
This is one of the reasons I have decided against the gastric sleeve surgery. People have the surgery and loose a ton of weight but they are miserable from acid reflex flair ups every two hours. This is because along with 85% of the stomach they also take out 85% of the stomach acid.
Loose weight naturally.
You’re right all stomach surgery is risk. My symptoms started after I had a C Section to birth my baby 😭😭😭
Here's what I don't understand. Why do doctors prescribe PPI and H2 Receptor Blockers if they know these medications will decrease stomach acid, which is the cause of GERD?
I've noticed this also with other medications which were prescribed to treat a specific condition, but when I read the side effects it actually states it will cause the condition that I'm trying to treat. How does this make any sense? Are doctors trying to purposely harm their patients?
Is Apple cider vinegar safe to drink when pregnant?
I had pretty bad acid reflux on and of before and could feel bloated and burping quite much. I decreased the coffee a bit. But the major change I did was to NOT drink anything 1 hr before to 1 hr after eating. My thought was that if I do not dilute the stomach acid with any fluid it would do the best work with the food. It worked but it took a couple of weeks. Every now and then I can drink with the food if I want with no problem.
A couple questions.. you said if the stomach acid is the right ph, the valve will remain closed... but I thought the stomach acid ph wasn't the problem? The problem was not enough acid. Another question, you said sea salt contains the needed iodine, yet I don't believe sea salt has iodine, only table salt is fortified with it. Looking forward to your reply :)
another symptom you can add is chronic throat clearing (I get this alot) when I take digestive enzymes the throat clearing goes away which is how I know it is my stomach causing the throat clearing not allergies. also I believe that the bacteria you speak of is the result of low acid not hte cause, microbes get blamed so much for things whenthey are at the scene ofthe crime. I dont get alot of burning except a tiny bit in the lower part of the esohphgus, but the throat clearing is very annoying sometimes disturbing my sleep. throat clearing can be exhausting when your trying to hike a trail and it just wont stop and then suddenly it stops. weird.
Which digestive enzyme..pls tell
Loved the video!!! PTH imbalances can also cause the same symptoms yet your TSH may be fine. One single biggest reason proper diagnosis takes almost a lifetime, is a Full blood work up does not include all tests such as PTH due to Costs.
