Thank you again for the video and help
Hello sir. I have really bad GERD and I've been suffering chronically for a while and no proton pump inhibitorsor antacids are helping me and I also have lost 20 pounds almost and I've been to several emergency rooms and they just send me away and tell me it's probably chronic gerd or gastritis I've also had an abdominal ultrasound done on me and some of the doctors are rude and just say it's anxiety... I don't know what to do anymore 😔. I watched your video and I'm trying and struggling to get this diet down can you please reply and help me with this? I know you are a busy guy but I forever be in your debt. Josh.
7 fixes starts at 7:00
Thanks 🙏🏾
my hero
Whatta coincidence
Thank you. He was taking FOREVER !
Temporary fixes for immediate relief starts at 4:40😊
As a pharmacist and chiropractor with over 50 years in the health field I can say "listen to this advice. He is making uncommon good sense.!" If you are lucky enough to find an MD with such an open mind to alternatives, become a patient of his asap.
I agree to most of his advice except keto carnivore diet. It has low fiber and causes constipation.
@@sagarshetty3175 easily solved with a fiber supplement such as psyllium husk.
@@navahojoe true but you have to take it as a supplement .
@@sagarshetty3175 it's easy to incorporate into the diet. I add it to my post-gym protein shakes. Keto is too strict for me so I just cut all carbs and sugar for 6 days a week. I have 24 hours a week as my cheat window. 😁
@@sagarshetty3175
That's a myth boy.
I have been suffering GERD problem from November 2021 till now, my weight loss 20 kg within 2 months, November 2021 middle of the night suddenly I had major acid reflux, during that time my blood pressure become so high: 180/105+, that time I felt that I will die. the worse part of that GERD disease is; Breathing problems, Chest pain, Discomfort in the head, Anxiety, High BP, etc.
I can't eat ordinary foods now, I left drinking coffee, tea, soft drinks also fast foods, and fried foods. if I eat those mentioned foods, I feel acidity within a short time. my life become Black and white nowadays.
only GERD patients will understand the pain of that bad disease.
Me too had breathing problems during sleep and anxiety. Sometimes I do feel palpitations.
Hi, Do you mind sharing how long the acute episode lasted? I’ve just finished about 21 days of chronic GERD/LPR symptoms…. I’m trying to figure out how people manage to not become dehydrated or malnourished from not really eating or not keeping anything down or digesting food….
@@lisaschooler9992 I had GERD since two years. I had taken pantaprazole 40mg after doing endoscopy. I was feeling well for one year. But from last September I had sleep difficulty and heart burn . Again I repeated pantaprazole. Now I am on pantaprazole 40 mg. Feeling better. I don't no how long it wil last. I am focusing on weigh loss. I am on heavier side in comparison to my height.
Its a living hell
I have been suffering GERD problem from July 2021 plz help me due to acid reflux I have open sphincter problem it’s really pain full for me I have take some types of medicine
1. No milk or liquid dairy or process food
2. Loose weight
3. Stop eating or drinking too much before you ly down like 2 hours
4. Elevate the head of your bed( don't use more pillows)
5. If you are a smoker you got to quit smoking
6. No nicotine , caffeine, no alcohol. It leaves the splinter opens
7. Take a good quality probiotic.
What are process food like examples please
What probiotic do u recommend?
@@YukIil-ji9cv anything in a box basically
Whats a good probiatic
Oh no I'm probably going to fail at quitting smoking
1. Anti-inflammatory diet. No dairy, processed food, corn, or wheat.
2. Lose weight.
3. Stop eating 2/3 hours before bed.
4. Sleep w/ head elevated or sitting up.
5. Quit smoking.
6. Quit caffeine & alcohol.
7. Probiotics.
So no probiotics?
@@paolaminas2581 I watched thus video a long time ago but I believe he said to take probiotics. That's the only step I didn't do and my heartburn still went away.
@@paolaminas2581 *this
stop eating 2-3 hours before bed is what has helped me the most
@@paolaminas2581 Yes, to probiotics. Take a good probiotic is what he said. For example, "Wholesome Wellness" makes a good probiotic for women that has 100 billion. They also have one that is unisex. Some also take Align, but it doesn't have many strains. There is also Microbiome plus. I would also add if you are taking probiotics that you will also need the right kind of fiber to feed your gut bacteria. Also, some people also IBS and not just GERD. And some people with their IBS, have sinus problems, rhinitis (a histamine problem).
I was having severe reflux, some simple changes that eliminated most of it to the point of healing before watching this video.
1- no coffee on empty stomach
2- increase fibre intake
3- fresh coriander eaten alot ( for some reason it makes the gut calm down)
4- sleeping more on left side
5- more sleep
6- less stress
7- less junk food, especially biscuit type foods which were a big trigger.
8 - fat loss, this is underrated because it reduces pressure on the gut.
Thank you for sharing ❤️
I know most of my triggers
Chocolate
Spaghetti or pizza sauces
Fatty foods
SODA
OJ
Will set me off and it’s horrible
I ate a Alfredo pasta dish one night around 7. I usually don’t eat that late unless it’s a small snack. Woke up around midnight with acid coming up my throat , burning and making me cough. Scared the crap out of me. I haven’t had Alfredo since. I also stop eating so late. I started taking Prilosec a few days ago and have been having heart palpitations. I have had cardiac testing in the past and everything came back pretty normal. So I think it’s the Prilosec.
Thank you so much. I can literally FEEL the advice you have given. Tomorrow I start this routine. Bless your heart ❤
@@reginamcadory674 definitely. Pepcid AC is better but I'm trying to even not take it. I'm trying this acv, ginger, honey, spring water concoction next. Good luck.
All I can say is, I probably would do everything you've mentioned to help with acid reflux etc..but fortunately I am a walking miracle! God in His great mercy and grace and love for me healed me 100% of it all. 25 years ago. Praise God!
Do I eat salads as well ?
Praise God! I am hoping for the same.
I'm praying for a miracle to be healed.
That's great - but then why are you watching this video 🤗
May his grace and mercy be upon me as he did to you. In the mighty name of Jesus Christ 🙏
*_SUMMARY OF VIDEO:_*
Prelim: Wean off all PPIs or antacids - start taking it intermittently, maybe every other day, every third day etc. Don't quit cold turkey because of hectic acid re-bound.
TEMPORARY FIXES: Take apple cider vinegar to start off with - preferably diluting 4 tablespoons in glass of water; chewing gum; Bicarb soda; Ginger root; Real rock salt.
1. Skip the inflammatory diet (diary, grains - wheat, corn, rice, oatmeal; NO PROCESSED FOOD, spicy food, ), eat low carb, high fat diet - see his recommended video in the description.
2. Lose weight - to reduce abdominal pressure which squeezes the stomach, pushing the acid back up into the esophagus. eat low carb, high fat diet , keto.
3. Stop eating or drinking at least 2 hours before going to bed. 3 hours is better.
4. Put some blocks/bricks under the head post of the bed to raise the head above the toes so the liquid acid will flow downwards.
5. Give up smoking - absolutely, totally, just GIVE IT UP DUDE!; skip the caffeine and alcohol - these are the 3 things guaranteed to loosen the esophageal sphincter.
6. Take a good quality probiotic. Best is kept in the fridge/cooler.
7. Wear loose fitting clothes to prevent abdominal pressure.
8. ???
Wonderful summary x
Thank you so much for the summary
God bless you for the summary
I think my sphincter is loose.
@@samanthabogen9639 I thought he said good quality sea salt. Like Redmon’s. Rock salt is processed and bleached, I think.
I was tortured for decades with heartburn and reflux. 2 weeks into keto, and it was all gone. 14 months later, still gone, along with 80+ pounds. :)
Are to still taking keto?
@@LEEALANIS77 yes.
Ketosis doesn't get rid of heartburn, not eating crappy processed foods does. Keto doesn't allow processed foods and sweets, so it was the food not the break down of ketones. Good for you though.
@Satisfying Slime DIY No. I would have acid come up into my mouth...particularly when lying in bed. I had gotten in the habit of sleeping sitting up.
I'm 19 and got diagnosed with bile gastritis. I'm about to fast for 40 days and 40 nights like our lord did
I've had terrible heartburn since I was in my 20's. I've woken up at night choking on stomach acid. The one thing that helped me more than anything was eating dinner early at night. I absolutely will not eat anything after 5pm and I'll try not to lay down within 3 hours. That fixed it for me with no pills.
ACV will restore your whole body from reflux, sour stomach, correct the peristalsis movement of the bowels and help get rid of toxins.
@@julianpr
How much AVC and when is the best time to take it?
@@mypillowguy445 I had GERD symptoms and my doctor prescribed omaprazol. I took acv and lemon for three days and was free of symptoms. Half a glass of warm water with two spoonful of ACV, one spoonful of freshly squeezed lemon juice, one spoonful of honey, three times a day on an empty stomach.
@@n.s.5278 how 3 times on empty stomach do you not eat for 4 hrs before taking it? Did you change your diet? thank you
Gh Abandi or you can do a tablespoon of raw honey in the morning and another at night
My husband was on acid reflux medicine for yearrrsssssss. Without his medication, acid would come up his throat, and he'd throw up. I began giving him magnesium and stopping the med about a month ago, and he has not had any reflux since. We also try to have a large breakfast, a medium large lunch, and a small early dinner. We stopped snacking, so we're actually giving the acid in the stomach time to break down the food without opening the valve. Eating a big meal at night also leaves a big amount of food in your stomach that will push the acid up the valve when you lay down. We do eat high protein, fiber, low carb diet. No artificial sugar or processed food or whole wheat grains. These things have changed my husband's life, praise God.
Which magnesium
@jtobit really it seems like most types work. Just make sure you don't get an oxide one. Your body doesn't absorb much from it.We were doing Qunol Magnesium Extra Strength 420mg only 1 pill a day, sometimes 2. He still hasn't needed his medicine.
We recently switched to 1500mg Magnesium L-Threonate Capsules because this form of magnesium also aids with mental health. 1 pill, but use how you need it.
What time of day did he take it?
@janetfagan7536 he takes it at night before bedtime. If he does eat something late and is battling acid, he just props himself up, but it doesn't happen often.
I had fix my refluks/GERD almost 2 month. Back then, i had terrible chest pain heartburn after eating. It make me sick and feel terrible. I tend to vomit after eating and eating just make me scared only to think that i will feel breathless, vomit, and plus my heart palpitation problem. Then, i start fasting, try to eat in moderate amount, slowly my constipation went off, and finally im free from this terrible disease
Stopped cold-turkey once I changed my diet to full Keto.. .9 months of relief from heartburn and pills..lost 65 lbs on Keto...feel great!
How long did it take to get of the rebound effect from the PPI?
@@JN-gh4hm if only someone would ever answer this!!
Or even tell us how long it makes for all that meat into a heartburn stomach takes, before the " magic " of keto starts to work..?
Ok, but what is Keto?
@@jimmack1071 research ketogenic diet. Check out Low Carb Down Under on TH-cam. Dr.KenD.Berry (the guy you are watching on this video) gives lots of information about the ketogenic diet. The best information I have seen on it is from Low Carb Down Under. The theory is burning fat for fuel instead of carbohydrates. If you keep your carbohydrate intake less than 25 grams per day, your body will start using the stored fat for energy. Once that transition takes place you can maintain a high fat low carbohydrate diet and keep burning the excess fat stored all through your body. Lots of fats, lots of vegetables, four to six ounces of protein per meal, one or two meals per day. It isn't a very strict diet. It is more of a lifestyle change.
@@JN-gh4hm
I tried getting off my PPI. I had the absolute worst reflux that week.
It's a problem.
May the good Lord above bless you with long life. Thanks, just reduced my anxiety.
Amen
Acid reflux definitely triggers anxiety try vitamin B one nutritional yeast
Another lie my doctor told me...stay on Nexium rest of my life for GERD. Thank you Dr Berry! Love love love the Berry wisdom.
I know my body. Not everyone can take acv. I guess my stomach is too acidic
@@petsnaturetv1690
May you have gastritis or ulcers
Same! I’ve been on it for 8 years and am currently trying to ween off. Man it’s hard!!
Our home burned down, after 45 years of marriage , since then....I have had major acid problems. I sit up against the wall to try to sleep. I have been so sick, I will try this, all of this . Thank you for your video. It is so so hard when your home burns down and everything is gone, It devastates your mind and body.
My heartburn ended five months ago on the very first day I started keto. Stomach pain when eating gone. IBS gone. Asthma gone. Allergies gone. Constant coughing, wheezing and sneezing gone. Arthritis pain and stiffness gone. High blood pressure gone. Heart palpitations and shortness of breath gone. Thirty two pounds gone.
Incidentally, when I started Keto, the Keto flue contributed to my gerd developing because I always fell asleep after eating Keto meals. It was not the kind of Keto flu I ever got over. It continued for months.
cant wait for the heart palpitations to go away
@@BelCantoLari I guess we will never know. Semantics aside, All I know is that I felt better when I changed diets.
@@ruthnyakaana6724 magnesium
Wow, I have been coughing for 3 months. I think I'll try this.
Thank you doctor, I got rid of the creator and protonix, my grandson is going to raise the head of my bed tomorrow. I thank the Lord for you. You are the most honest doctor I’ve ever heard of and I’ve been in contact with several doctors during my 79 years of life.
I am over weight and started the Ketogenic way of eating almost a month ago I am losing very slow in pounds but I will not be discouraged.
I LOVE this new way of eating.
May the Lord continue blessing you and your family.
This doctor amazes me on how unselfish he is by sharing all this knowledge to us!!! God bless him greatly♥️🙏🏻
??thanks to Dr.ariba On TH-cam for healing my deadly disease completely with his herbal protocol ?? I had this gerd disease for long. you can reach out Dr.ariba on TH-cam channel ??...
Hi for TH-camrs like you sharing contents like this you don’t know how many people are gonna remember you and thank you deeply from their hearts! People will remember your work!
This is SO TRUE. I went to the doctor for my persistent reflex and coughing, and *without finding a cause* he gave me three prescriptions + an inhaler. I looked at the collection of bottles and faced up to the reality that I needed to stop eating so damned much. Gave up carbs (i.e. foot long subs, chips, multiple burgers and fries, heaps and heaps of pasta, pizza etc) and whaddya know? No more heartburn or coughing.
When I was strict keto my heartburn disappeared. Intermittent fasting where I cut off my food several hours before bedtime certainly helps.
How many hours?
Armah Akporowho I seen 3 hours in another video.
@@509NORMA Im on keto as well and I have lost weight slowly over the last 5 months.. about 20 lbs but I still have heartburn. I think I may be eating meals that are too large. Do you think meals that are 1200 - 1500 calories are too large? How large are your meals? Im 250 lbs athletic build and very active so I need about 3000 calories per day. Sorry for the long post...
@@armah82 i do bodybuilding & Its not so much the calories but the size of the meals.. try doing 3 small meals & 2 high in protein snack.
@@monchimonchi7726 Curious, have you see a GI?
Thank you, doctor for a wealth of information. When I mentioned to my Internal Medicine doctor about my concerns with taking acid reducers on a permanent basis, he dismissed them and actually increased my prescription. It is so refreshing to hear other views that make too much sense to ignore. I wish you'd touch up on how an intermittent fasting diet influences the acid reflux issue. Thanks again.
Wow! I been taking medicine for days. One teaspoon of apple cider vinegar with the mother worked immediately.
After being on doctor prescribed PPI’s (acid blockers) for 27 years I am finally free of them! I saw this video 10 months ago and followed his advice on how to slowly wean myself off of them sensibly and realistically. Thank you!
Now, I am working on building up my meaningful bone density that was compromised from the PPI’s! I now have osteoporosis but hope to slow it down and even better yet reverse it! Please note that I am 5’4” and weight 135. Wish me luck!
All the best Sonia. Plenty food with potassium and magnesium:-)
Plus, be sure to take Vitamin D3 and Vitamin K2.
sonia i would recommend to start taking vitamin c, you will see some incredible results.
Sonia bertsch how did you reduce gerd cause I suffered from this and is a nightmare😭
Good luck. You are inspirational. I'm 55 and have been on these things for 28years. Just saw this and am now very motivated to get off ppi's. Please tell me how long it took and exactly what you did. God bless
I am 40 now and gained massive health gains from drinking raw cows milk, this was the probiotic that my body was crying out for.
I have been dealing with acid reflux but of recent it have gotten more often everytime i use anything acidic. I am so grateful for your advice. You are so open and honest when it comes to facts. Thank you.
When I met my late husband in1988 he had heartburn all the time. He went through a bottle of Rolaids like candy. He continued to eat pepperoni sticks and rare steak and foods that irritated. Finally around 2004 he was diagnosed with esophagus cancer and passed away in 2008. He was a man that would not go to the doctor until the cancer was diagnosed. I wish I would have known what I know now so we could have helped the problem and saved his life. This is nothing to take lightly. Thank you for the information Dr. Berry.
Sorry. Did it wake him up in the middle of the night too ? Sometimes it wakes me up, painful. Sounds like I am on the same path, albeit slower.
Thank you! Great information; mom's no longer here but she took prilosec and equivalent, with a prescription, for many many years. And yes, she came to have acute, severe dementia! This kind of crap burns my hide; thanks for telling the truth! God Bless you.🙏👵💖
I just want to say thank you! My reflux was awful and daily until I watched your video. All I changed was not eating or Drinking anything before bed. The difference was literly over night! I wish my doctor said that. Instead they offer surgery and 💊 s. Thanks again
Do you had gastritis
Did u change ur diet?
My goodness! Thank you, thank you for speaking to us as a professional. You explained so that everything was clear and understood. I take your advice everyday and it has changed my life.
this will definitely come in handy. as of last week i’ve been having bad acid reflux so i’m taking all this advice into consideration!
Full of excellent advice. So glad I found your video. I was just so desperate so I went to see the doctor, but he just hands out pills and has no long term solution. I hate pills at the best of time, don’t even like to take painkillers even when I am in pain. Your advice gives me hope. Thank you so much.
Thank you Dr. Berry! I love your common sense approach and the way you explain things in both medical and simple terms to debunk old thinking. I want to clone you for the good health benefits you present. Listen up people, open your minds and start taking care of your bodies!
Canadian fan, Wendy C.
Thank you for sharing this video. I have been suffereing from silent reflux for about a year and after watching ur video I finally found relief. I started simple by making smoothies in the morn w fruit, ginger and yogurt. I believe the ginger and the probiotics in the yogurt helped. I continue to eat a low carb diet and my wheezing at night has finally disappeared!!!! Thank you thank you!
This is already second video that brought me to your channel, when I was searching for information how to solve my health issues. Thank you for sharing the knowledge!
Being a student studying away from home the first time I got chronic acid im not going to lie I freaked out XD, this has helped out so much, the doctors I have been going to have been running around and not providing me with solutions whereas from this video within 15 minutes iv been given 7 new ways that can help. Great video more unbelievably helpful
Thanks Dr Berry for this info!
Below is a summary with approx time mark in the video for the point made:
For temp relief
*
Proton Pump Inhibitors are OK for 2 wks or occasional use only
*
2:00 You may need to take your PPI or H2 Blocker each day or every 2nd day whilst you implement the below strategies. You may then go to taking your PPI or H2 blocker every 3rd day whilst doing the below strategies.
*
2:20 If GERD flares up, take it for 3-5 days, but then stop, because PPIs and H2 blockers stop you being able to absorb minerals because the PPIs and H2 blockers reduce you stomach acidity that helps with vitamin absorption etc.
*
2:50 Taking PPIs and H2 Blockers every day long term can lead to increased risk of pneumonia, osteoporosis and dementia
*
4:55 2 tablespoons of Apple Cider Vinegar (with the "Mother") in a glass of water can provide immediate relief, as can chewing gum or licorice. You may be able to take ACV undiluted.
*
5:35 A tablespoon of Baking Soda (Bicarb soda) in a glass of water will help raise the PH of your stomach as it has a PH of 7 and will dilute the acid in your esophagus
*
6:10 Chewing on a piece of ginger root. Keep it in the fridge and slice off a piece to chew on when you have heartburn
*
6:25 A pinch of unprocessed sea salt (like Redman's) on the tongue
For long term cure
*
7:05 Remove grains, liquid dairy from diet and eat a low inflammatory diet - Low Carb, Keto or carnivore
*
8:10 Lose weight and don't put pressure on the stomach. Low Carb, Keto, Carnivore can help this
*
9:00 Stop eating and drinking 2 hrs before lying down in bed. Your sphincter (valve) is supposed to be closed all the time, but it can become dysfunctional and leak acid up the esophagus. You may not feel symptoms during the night from your acid going into the esophagus, but you will feel it the next day.
*
10:15 Raise the head of the bed 2-4 inches with bricks. Don't use more pillows under your head as they will put pressure on your stomach
*
11:40 Stop smoking, drinking too much alcohol and drinking too much coffee. May need to stop coffee and alcohol temporarily.
*
13:10 Have a good Probiotic (refrigerated one are usually better, not from China Mart)
*
13:55 Don't have a belt or girdle done up to tight. Wear loose-fitting clothes.
Thank you so much! 🙏🌻
Tq
No coffee or pop.
@@keeptrying_not2late2change lose weight?😂 If I lose weight, I'll die. My BMI is 13.6 lol
Thanks!😀
Note: Putting bricks under the head of your bed will eventually ruin your mattress. I tried doing this many years ago.
Maybe a few weeks or a few months will be okay, but not for several months or longer.
Thank you very much. My wife suffers from Gerd upper and lower G.I. issues. It prevents her from eating and enjoying food. She’s afraid to eat. Medication‘s yes she takes medication‘s apprazole and Dramamine for nausea and anti-acids. Thank you very much we will give this a shot. We are grateful for your information. Idaho
I've always claimed that I live a charmed life.
Listening to this video confirms it.
I was a child of the 60s.
1. For most of my life I wore jeans so tight that I had to lay down on the bed to button and zip them.
2. I've smoked since I was 15 and I'm now over 70.
3. I've always eaten whatever I like, whenever I like. A big bowl of spicy chili with beans an hour or less before bedtime is not unusual!
I've NEVER had heartburn. I wonder if it's because my favorite breakfast has always been bacon and eggs? Boiled eggs are my favorite snack, and deviled eggs are my favorite side dish. It also could be because I grew up on a farm eating veggies from our garden, the meat we raised, and fruit from our little orchard.
You'll be happy to hear that I'm currently working towards being either carnivore or keto-vore.
Acid reflex or GERD is nothing to fool with! I’ve had to have structures stretched out if you will because of it and it’s tough. Thank you for this video it’s great information
Thank you for this video! I really appreciate the time you took to do this and explain everything. I’m looking forward to trying this!
This topic I'm an expert in because I suffered from acid since I was in my early 20s. I was a pill taker and took tums everyday. But a person told the acid is not the problem. The problem is that you don't have enough acid in your stomach. I started taking Apple Cider vinegar every day before I had my first meal. I've been on 3 to 4 table spoons with water everyday with ACV for 15 years and acid is gone. Prebiotic is also a must to help eliminate it.
Agree.
You and your wife are amazing. Thank you so much, we are traveling and I have had some reflux, hubby asked if I needed to go see a Dr. I said no, I will just listen to Dr. Berry! We will get some ACV and maybe some ginger root at our next grocery stop.
Came looking for some suggestions for instant relief from one of the worst episodes of gerd and found it! A table spoon of baking soda in a glass of water! God bless you Dr Ken D Berry! Felt like a miracle. Stay blessed ❤️
Hey doc, thanks so much for the tips.
What a blessing. We need more docs like you!
First time I've heard of anyone else waking up choking from acid reflux. I had that happen 2 weeks ago, i was terrified. I did get an endoscopy done, with 3 biopsies. Only the ecinaphilic asophageolitis came up positive, my esophagus was swollen. Has to do with undiagnosed allergies. Dr said i was lucky I didn't choke. I knew i had some allergies but after the positive results i went and had extensive food allergies test, my food allergies were some of the worse they have encountered. I had never heard of encinophilic asophageolitis before. I had horrible acid reflux, liquid would shout out. Undiagnosed food allergies can cause serious acid reflux. The Dr on some of these sights are so on tract with diet. My extremely high, wheat, milk, eggs, oats, rice, potatoe, lemon, pork, beef, oranges, apples, pears, tomatoes, soy, corn, nuts, seafood, molds. I had my test done by blood test which was more accurate. There were others on their too. Shared these in hopes of helping someone else. My stomach and throat were under attack and un fire from undiagnosed food allergies. I highly recommend this test ( biopsy) i never even knew it existed before. Sorry so long, hope this helps. 🦋💖
what a wonderful doctor, giving out such great advices without expecting anything!!
Hi, Dr Berry!
Thanks for reviewing this topic. I got a better understanding of what needs to be done to lessen or prevent the reoccurrence of heartburn☺️
You are amazing. Thanks so much for telling the truths about our bodies. I have learned so much from your videos. God bless you always ♡ from texas
The bed trick is absolutely genius!!! I’m doing this right now. We used to have one of the beds that lifted and allowed you sleep upright but it way too much abdominal pressure.
Thanks to following all your advice and going into my third month as a carnivore I am finally free of Gerd and the prescription drugs Thank you 🙏
carnivore diets cause cancer
Not true. Look into modern research. This used to be a common thought in the mid 2000s

I have to give you a huge thank you for this one. After 8 months on Keto I was still not able to get off the Omeprazole. Was taking twice a day and when I tried to stop it felt like my entire gut was on fire. After applying your info from this video I am finally off the meds completely. Also seems to be helping my bowel. Very grateful for all your videos but especially found this one helpful.
Great! Which of Dr B’s remedies did you find the most useful please?
So if the Keto did not help what did? I mean, which specific advice (or more) other than keto did the trick for you? Thanks!
Apple cider vinegar. Fixes stomach every time. I use abt two tbsps in flavoured water.

True story! I had the nexium daily for years. Years! Then broke my ankle and learned I have osteopenia. Not good! Then Keto came to my life and NO MORE pills. So grateful for you, Dr. B.
Can you tell me what type of food is keto
They had my 2 year old on nexium!
I wish you were my doctor. Laguna Hills Veterans Clinic could use someone like you. My doctor tries to do right. He looked at my file, saw I had battled GERD for over a decade and said he was going to give me the best medicine they got. To be fair to him, it worked well to prevent my heartburn. It also made me gain 30 lbs in a month and any missed dose brings the GERD back twice as strong as before. I've been off the med for 3 days now and it's been really hard. If I had watched this video sooner, maybe I'd have weaned myself off instead of going cold turkey, but oh well. Hopefully I can get this under control. It's hell. People who don't know, can't even begin to understand it.
Love watching ,thank you for sharing
Hey Dr. Berry, I've been watching for about 3 months 2 of my sisters, my mother, and I started keto and intermittent fasting around then to combat an autoimmune disease and it seems to be working. I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for the guidance you've provided. While you were only one resource I used I do believe the information you provided helped a lot. I am down 36 pounds and have more lean body mass. I honestly can't think of a biometric in my life that hasn't been improved by the life change. Thank you for your work, and thank you for the role you played in my education. I hope life is kind to you.
Im a pilipino what is kito? Can you tell me
Thanks Dr. Berry. I started your suggested Keto diet one month ago and I have lost 13.5 pounds, 2.5 inches in my waist and have taken a prilosec pill since. Zero heartburn!!!!
Keto diet is absolutely terrible. Bad idea
Melissa What’s so terrible about it? Everything that I’ve read, seen, and researched about Keto shows that it’s greatly improved the health of so many people.
@@melissa4295 Almost on 21 months keto myself. Check out Dr. Westman from Duke University. His clinic is a "last resort" for people with chronic conditions and have found no solution to their ailments from GERD, obesity, T2 diabetes, and more. Clinical doctors who can get people OFF meds are the ones to trust. So many NIH studies, PubMed, etc. that have been around for over a decade.
@@GeorgiesGirlFPV Long-term, how long? Dr. Westman and Phinney have researched and implemented keto for over a decade.
@@melissa4295 statement made with nothing to back it up.
Dr. Berry is a great doctor, he has followed his advises for dry eye and now i do not have any more dry eyes problem and i do not have to use eye drops any more. Thank you so much Dr
Berry!
I did the medical mediums celery juice morning routine for 2 weeks and my severe acid reflux went away. I just juiced a celery every morning first thing I consumed, waited 30 minutes then drank a blueberry water banana spinach smoothie. After that I continued with my day, it went away. I read that lettuce and vegetables give your body the ability to create its own stomach acid. So I now eat a lot of salads.
Yep, celery they say can even heal bleeding ulcers. A chunk of lettuce before going to sleeps good too
Probiotics cured my chronic cough. Thanks for the tip!
Get out of my head Dr. Berry. I have had some terrible heartburn recently. I was trying to get off the meds. Your rebound explanation seems right on target. I will gradually reduce the meds and implement your tips.
Thanks for another great video.
Can’t thank you enough i just implemented the bed trick because of you
Has anyone had shortness of breath constantly from their reflux?
I have
My allergist says it can exacerbate breathing issues like you get from outdoor allergies
Thank you! Such great info. I am a gastric bypass patient and have had to take RXs for gerd for years. Now, with all the cons of them coming out, I stopped them cold turkey. While I am not grossed out easily, I can't stand the thought of phlegm/ mucus. I started getting a constant white film on my tongue and nothing I did got rid of it. After having to clear my throat too, I finally figured put through research what it was and now I constantly am gagging just thinking about it. I also am a chronic pain patient with pretty severe problems in my neck and back brought on much by inflammation in those joints as well as all over my body. I'm going to definitely give some of these suggestions a try. If thete is anything else you can think of that may specifically relate to myself, I would love to hear them. Again, thanks for the information you do. Doctors like you who give out such generous tips and suggestions are very rare and greatly appreciated.
white film on the tongue is candida (yeast) oil of oregeno can rid that.
search TH-cam for candida
DOCTOR THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THIS BLESSING INFORMATION. MAY GOD ALWAYS KEEP YOU ALWAYS CLOSE.
Thanks for the info I was in so much pain was heading to the hospital when you said baking soda I mixed with water and the instant RELIEF 😢 THANKS SO MUCH ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks and will try to adhere to all your advice
Hyee m suffering from GERD for last past 4 years. After watching your video my GERD is much better now, thank you soooooo much 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
actually what method he said
Started on a Plant Based way of eating. Overnight it went away. Almond milk unsweetened will help stop acid reflux.
So true. Keto actually made my husbands gut too acidic. He developed severe reflux with scarring in the esophagus. He couldn’t eat or drink anything so once we changed his diet to alkaline, he is able to eat again & the inflammation is going down. Fruit, veg, no chocolate, no sugar, no spices, no caffeine, only natural whole foods.
All based on genetics. I love nachos and booze but they dont like me
Being vegan for 8 years caused massive bloating and pushed on my stomach for so ling it led to a hiatal hernia, which led to GERD, which led to ulcers and esophagitis
I feel like people go on new diets without full knowledge of the nutrients and what is good for them, A plant based diet wouldn’t be bad for you unless you are missing vital vitamins and minerals from your daily diet. Malnutrition of course causes another host of problems
@@bristolgriggs4576 Oh no I have hernia also, how are you doing now?
That's a very valuable information here.. i searched all over the internet and visited some doctors, lifestyle changes and diet restrictions is the best option we have..
Excellent vid , Thankyou !!
Thank you, I’ve had a dry cough for 3 days and can’t figure it out. Bingo, you just did. I’m experiencing 75% of what you described and love sleeping on my stomach. Now I won’t.
Take the cough seriously! I didn’t, and I had it for a couple of years, but I didn’t think it was a big deal. Now I have Barrett’s Esophagus, which is a precursor to esophageal cancer.
@@candacerushing6882 I had it too but reversed it with a keto diet.
Good luck!
Boy you're asking me to give up everything I like, but I know I need to do this.
Exactly.
Have you tried his tips and have they helped ?
Love Light Blessings I just couldn’t like it’s so hard to skip everything can’t drink soda, juice, coffe all u can drink is water or decaf and you can’t eat fried food like fries or fried chicken only things like grilled chicken, can’t eat hot sauce or stuff like that😭
I am off my PPI’s after being doctor prescribed 27 years. Took me 10 months to wean off of it sensibly...it can be done...I am proof! 😀
@@soniabertsch8354 how did u do it
Hello, thanks for your video. I had so many bad nights, coughs, heartburns...and everything stopped with intermittent fasting and not eating in the evening. Now I sleep all night, no more wake ups. So much better. All best to you.
How did you fast?
Thank you Dr. Berry I really really mean it. Liked and Subbed. ive been in terrible pain the last week. Chugging milk thinking that would help. I stopped the baby cow juice diet and took some sodium bicarbonate, 10 minutes later I burped so long and loud my cat hid under the couch. But it was like I moved all the pain out in the burp. I feel like an 18 year old again. You made a difference in someone's life tonight. Sounds corny, but it is just a fact.
I had a bad case and permanently resolved it with the Aloe Vera gel from the leaf, pure honey, apple cider vinegar (teaspoon of each in half a glass of water). I took that about 3-4 times per week twice a day and in 4 months it stopped. I would take it right before I ate a meal. After that, I would drink water. I even stopped drinking coffee and soda. I also took a good probiotic as well. At night, I slept on my left side which helped. I drank chamomile tea and bone broth soups as well. I stopped eating fried foods. It’s been about 10 years. After I felt great, I tried to eat fried foods. I didn’t have a reaction, however, why take a risk and fall back to getting heart burn. Now we have air fryers which I have. The funny part is that I got so used to not frying that I don’t even think to use the air fryer. There just comes a time at a certain age where the body can no longer accept particular foods. I hope all of those who are suffering will find an answer to getting healed. The remedy I posted was given to me, however, it doesn’t mean it would work for someone else. I wish everyone total healing. The video has excellent recommendations.
Best video I've seen on this subject . Thank you :)
Thank u for everything u talking about. I have bn on Periot for 10 years taking 1 or 2 every morning. None of my doctors never said ou bad they r. Thank u
Love your video's, thanks so much and keep them coming❤
Thank you Dr. Berry for great video and information. I've been reading a lot of article and this is definately one among the best and confirm the theory from each article I read. I appreciate your kind advice, and this is very much make sense.
Always go to sleep on your left side. Acid has a harder time leaking out if it has to leak upwards. Sleeping on your right side enables the acid to leak downward. It helped me enormously when I started doing this.
I love these videos. I had bad heartburn and was on meds but quit when I found ACV. Tho I cannot drink it I do take the pills and it helps alot. Thank you for this advice and keep up the great work. Love Nesha also she is amazing.
thanks for all this and fed up with acid reflux. been dealing with it since 2006 lookking at other videos and talking to my doctor
I have bad heartburn and acid reflux too, i'm surprised he didn't mention one very crucial thing...eat less! but more frequently, this is what helped me. I used to eat 3 big meals a day, now i eat 5 smaller meals throughout the day and don't eat after 7pm, and i sleep around midnight. Eat bananas too, they help lower stomach acid
I've had acid reflux for almost a month now. My doctor gave me medicine before eating in the morning for 2 weeks. Now I need to follow every step you said. I really want to get rid of this reflux . Thank you and God Bless!
How are you doing now?
Is it working?
@@esme3937 its working j
How are you feeling after 4 months
Thanks Doc. Very helpful
Happy new year! Doc. Thank you!😘
Two tablespoons of ACV in my 30 oz Yeti of water each day keeps any heartburn away. Now I don’t care for water unless it has a bit of ACV in it.
Lol, I agree! I find the ACV adds Flava Flava to the bland water! Now I'm hooked!
God bless you! I’ve been having severe pain for the last 5 days😫😫😫
Start Ginger and Turmeric regularly on empty stomach in hot water. Believe me you will pray for me through out your life. I was feeling the same
My gastroenterologist told me fat intake relaxes the Gastroesophageal sphincter that is connected to your esophagus. Not too sure how truthful that is but I had esophageal damage 37 cm from the back of my throat close to my gastroesophageal Sphincter. No matter what I ate it hurt every time I ingested food. It appears that cold butter and cold high fat meat does not do that. I now only eat butter directly from my freezer and eat chilled high fat meat that has been cooked. I have tried to stop Pepcid and have weaned off it a number of times but always need to start taking it again. Eating BBB&E I have lost 33 pounds but the GERD still remains. By the way, I eat No sugar, grains or starches EVER! I read ALL labels and eat NO prepackaged keto anything! I have been doing this since February 24,2022. Don’t know what I am doing wrong, but the weight loss is extremely slow
Dr. Berry is spot on. Excellent explanations. Even Ben Fuchs, Pharmacist, Critical Health News says KETO is the best way to eat, period.
A GERD trigger for me is STRESS. Once I got it under control & better breathing haven't had any bad episodes. Have implemented temp fixes Dr. Berry detailed & will do keto. Had put it off, just wanted to make sure it wasn't fad dieting.
Reflux symptoms gone the first day of starting keto. I have had a hyetal hernia repair and IBS. No issues now. Started 5 days ago. Wow. I love it. Your videos got me started on keto.
How are you now?
The vinegar and chewing gum are two things my doctor told me not to take. I've been drinking hot/warm water (2 cups) every morning. A doctor said do this for 10 days and I'd see a major difference, along with eating smaller meals and avoid trigger foods.
How are you now?
Did the hot water help?
"Come on Loose the extra Pudge !" Thats the takeaway echoing in my head here 😀👍🏻 suddenly I have a mantra to say to myself - thank you great video
Love your advice! Thanks a lot Doc Berry.
thank you for this! im looking forward to trying these out tomorrow!
This video really helped and the information was right on point. My last episode of heart burn. I drank four cups of strong coffee, 10 expresso in four cups. While drinking was I lying down and noticed pain in upper abdomen and later on pinching pain are in the upper sides of the chest. I went to see the doctor and he prescribe PP1 This happened four days ago and since then I noticed pinching pain in upper areas of the chest. I noticed yesterday eating spicy noddles I noticed pinch pain left and right aside of the chest.
I drink coffee wine, and sad to say I smoke.
Thank you so much Dr. Berry for all your medical advises🙏
