Learn about the anti-heartburn diet I recommend here➡➡➡➡ bit.ly/KETO101
Hello Dr. Berry. My gastroenterologist told me that I have Gerd, gastritis & Barrett`s Esophagus & she put me on Nexium for the Barretts & Gerd. Is there another way to treat these conditions?
I was doing low carb/keto and was diagnosed with a hiatal hernia and acid reflux. On pills now of course, but was also told to avoid eating Fat. So no im at a lost on what to do.
I am post 6 years gastric sleeve developed gerd by then can I follow this too to get rid of gerd and stop ppi
Dr. Berry I would love to personally get in touch w you regarding my husband and his herd other physicians just cant seem to help him and get his gerd under control he has truly suffered for more than 10 years he vomits after every meal almost and recently has a colonoscopy and endoscopy to check and of course it was no in the best shape but I would really like to get him set up on a regimen (lifestlye) change for the better. And of course will begin to follow the steps and tips you've listed in this video. I hope you find the time to read this and possibly respond I really would be so grateful. 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.
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.
@@walkwithjoe1 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 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.
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
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 🙏
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😊
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 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
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.
Was this 1500 m the qunol brand?
*_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.
@@SamanthaBoooooooo I thought he said good quality sea salt. Like Redmon’s. Rock salt is processed and bleached, I think.
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
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
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. 🦋💖
how are you these days?
@@marylenahan8332 wat exactly did you do?
What kind of bloodwork did you get,?
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.
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.
Dear one, I know the hardship of a burning down. It is hard. I hope you’re doing better today. God bless.
I have a hiatus hernia. I have an electric riser bed and haven't lain flat to sleep since 2000. I also put a pillow in the small of my back to keep me lying straighter. I don't drink tea, I don't eat jam/jelly, or bread, or any fruit except pears, don't eat spicy food, the list is endless. I do drink decaffeinated coffee, but no more than one cup a day. Over the years I've had to go to an ever more bland diet. Ginger actually makes it much worse for me. I'm not overweight, I don't smoke or drink alcohol. I do add skimmed milk to my morning cereals and lunch break porridge. I actually eat my main meal before work at 10am, so no "dinner" in the evening now. I have gone for years without a flare up. Over the last three weeks I've had to buy a different, more expensive "purer" brand of peppermint tea because my supermarket own brand is out of stock. BAD idea. I have so much pain as a result. Cheaper is better. Peppermint definitely relaxes the sphincter and lets more acid up. I did not get any relief with proton pump inhibitors in the past and I had to change my diet. I use Gaviscon at night while I have this flare up. It's slightly better than nothing at all, but diet and never lying flat is the tried and tested only solution for me.
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.
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.
I hope you are continuing with your success today.
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
@Susie 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.
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.
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
I was always taking Pepcid and other acid blockers, had bad heartburn. But as a separate issue I started taking cayenne pepper in water before my morning walks, for heart health and a burst of energy. Was not long before I discovered I rarely needed the acid blockers anymore, the cayenne water has now 100% Cured my heartburn with no side effects. Just put 1/4 teaspoon in an 80z glass of water, stir, let it sit a minute to get saturated, then stir again and drink. Cured. I have not bought any acid blockers in well over 15 years.
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 ??...
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
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

Acid reflux definitely triggers anxiety try vitamin B one nutritional yeast
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!
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
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
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?
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.

@@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?
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?
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!
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.
I was suffering from gerd and reflux last 1 and half year ...from last three days I am taking ACV 2 tablespoons and adding 10 ounces of ginger and I also add honey for taste .....Taking daily in morning and bedtime....believe me it changes almost 70% of severe conditions from last three days...And one more thing I always asked ALLAH s.w.t to give me better health....Thank-you
Hello did u hv low acid or high acid ?
@@madihaamir7242 sometimes I felt low acid .
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.
I've used a small inclining pillow...and because I wanted a little something to chew on instead of drinking a chug of ACV, I'd eat 2 baby dill pickles or (even better) 2 pickled okra. Another thing discovered... is that I moved my taking of Magnesium to daytime instead of at night.
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.
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?
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?

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!
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!
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.
@@Mbsfpvchannel Long-term, how long? Dr. Westman and Phinney have researched and implemented keto for over a decade.

Had terrible heartburn symptoms for 5 days. Prayed 🙏 alot & took one teaspoon of organic pure honey 🍯 yesterday & today all symptoms are gone! 💃 🙏
Will watch what I eat & see how it goes.
I'm an ER nurse and regularly tell patients about the mucus lining in the stomach ... but I really gotta thank you for "snot coat!"
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.
bless you for loving your husband so much.
@@aandemorse2178 Thank you your response really touched me.
Another tip to reduce/eliminate GERD Is if you have a wedge pillow to elevate your head, you instead put it under your mattress so the whole bed (or your side) is always in a reclined position without worry of your head slopping down the pillow. You can also get another wedge pillow or some folded blankets on the foot-side of the bed to be in a Zero Gravity position. Way more comfortable then a brick IMO.
Fancy. I just jacked up the head of the bed with 2 stone bricks so the entire bed was on an incline.
He said to put a brick under the feet on the bed frame not under pillow 😂😂😂
I had what I believe was a GERD induced panic attack. I drank alcohol Friday night in excess with jalapeño chips and then spaghetti and meatballs. I didn't sleep well. Then Saturday while sleep deprived I had sausages on buns with peppers and onions with beans of course I finished that bag of chips. Then I had pizza and cheeseburger Sunday. Coffee and nicotine everyday. Sunday night I had a full blown panic attack. heart racing existential dread lightheaded nearly called 911. Apparently acid reflux is best buddies with anxiety too. I realize that I need to love myself and treat my body with more respect so I came across your video. I know you see people like me everyday and it's sad what we do to ourselves.
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 ❤️
I have discovered that sleeping on my left side keep my from having problems at night. I was told it had to do with the way your stomach empties.
Its crucial for me. also to sleep on an incline and on the left.
Thanks.
Yep. It's to do with the direction of flow of food and gastric juices through the intestines.
That is scientific too
good shit Sherry. I’m finna use this tip
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?

One important thing - if You have GERD - chronic refluks - don't drink apple cider vinegar (or anything extremely acidic) - it will burn your esophagus, because you most likely due to GERD have PEPSIN in Your esophagus and throat that came from stomach - that PEPSIN when in contact with apple cider, will activate and burn your esophagus - this when done often, may lead to ulcers, Barret's esophagus, and then cancer.
Thank you for your comment
I started using the Mothers Apple Cider l took it in capsule….
But within a week l got Acid Reflux
And am now have to visit the Doctor
Dr. Berry, what about folks with Barretts esophagus, Gastroparesis, and L.P.R.?????
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.
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'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.
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 ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This guy's solution to all problems is "stop eating grains" and I love it. Humans are not meant to be eating grasses. Just because grain enabled civilization does not mean that they are good for our health on an individual level.
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?
What are your symptomps?
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!
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!
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
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
I have been keto for about 5 months. Down 60lbs! I had only occasional acid reflux before keto due to a hiatal hernia. About a month ago, I started with horrible consistent reflux/heartburn 24/7. I was told that sometimes intermittent fasting can cause this. Is that correct? I fast 16:8 every day. I did try the ACV for the first time yesterday and got about 90% relief which is AMAZING!
Wow! I been taking medicine for days. One teaspoon of apple cider vinegar with the mother worked immediately.
My father used to eat Tums like candy after a meal. Around 2002 I learned that AR can be due to insufficient stomach acid. I told my father this may be his problem.
He tried ‘betaine hydrochloride’ as needed after meals. About two years later I happened to think about asking him how it was working out. He say it worked and at that time he no longer needed the betaine hydrochloride, the life long problem was fixed.
amazing, so happy for him. I myself have what believe is LPR - silent reflux, (mucus, post nasal drip, throat clearing) I will try this! Is your father totally cured?
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
A doctor advised that I take melatonin at bedtime, because it helps to keep the sphincter closed. Doing that and eating raw ginger with my meals helped me got off the PPIs that I had been taking for years. Now that I eat keto-ish I have very little problem with acid reflux.
How much melatonin at bed? Do you take it with water?
Maxie Lee Simmons I am from India. I am also taking melatonin 6 mg at bedtime since last 1 month. Can you let me know what is your dosage amount. I am planning to reduce to 3 mg. Are you still taking melatonin. Ginger causes a light burning sensation in my stomach though. Please reply
Sir your video saved me! I was having the worst heart burn thats been lasting a week. I could not eat or drink till day 7. I took a shot of Apple cider vinegar and it allowed me to finally eat and drink a little. I am beyond happy right now. Stung for 30 seconds but so worth it! I am going to apply these tips but you saved me & not the doctors that gave me more pills.... thank you again!
Excellent video, Dr. B. My brother-in-law suffers terribly with acid reflux; has even had to go to emergency in the middle of the night. He takes prescription drugs for it, but he’s not getting any relief. He eats all the things you say we shouldn’t eat, and he doesn’t eat any of the things you say we should eat for acid reflux. Going to SHARE this video with him. It’s going to be a hard sell because he’s convinced that low fat and lots of whole grains is the healthy way to go. 😳
I got off all anti-acid medications by drinking pickle juice. I’m using acv capsules a lot now and less pickle juice. I had been reading about mineral absorption and was concerned because I had low thyroid and bone density concerns. I didn’t think I could get off of anti-acids. So, I came up with the idea of drinking pickle juice before each meal to help with absorption of minerals. To my great surprise all of my gastric problems started to clear up. I still have some symptoms, I still do pickle juice if I need a faster reaction than I get with acv, but I haven’t used any anti-acids in close to 2 months and much reduced before that. I had been doing the opposite of what I needed for 40 years🙄 I wonder how much the ant-acid meds contributed to the low thyroid and bone density. My next step is the keto for the anti inflammatory and weight loss. I found it interesting Dr. Berry’s remark about salt. Maybe that’s why the pickle juice works faster? I don’t recommend pickle juice because of the amount of salt and I don’t know the ph level either. I was just a little desperate when I started using it. I like the acv capsules for eating out at restaurants and at friends. Good Luck to everyone and thank you to Dr. Berry
I love pickle juice...it makes me feel better
Baking Soda would help me more than the cider Vinegar. Thanks for the support.
Baking soda is another form of salt, and can affect your blood pressure just as salt does.
I usually add salt into my food and I seldom have reflux.
Now I know why
Table salt is sodium chloride, it's disintegrated into sodium and hydrochloric acid once it touched stomach acid, and hydrochloric acid is part of stomach acid.
That can explain why table salt can help digestion
I have had reflux for as long as I can remember...never have heartburn but always in the back of my throat I am coughing up thick clear flem
How did you fix this?
Same here..lots of throat mucous.

Great video! After my every 3 year endoscopy found out I have Barrets Esophagus. Don't understand why this information wasn't provided me, will be starting these strategies today and will seriously be looking for a new GI Physician...Thanks for the vlog!
How many years did you have Barrett's esophagus did you get cure 😢
Hi, sorry to hear at your Barretts. I've been diagnosed 4 years ago, with quite severe Barretts (8cm). I take 20mg twice a day of Omeprezole. Twice I have asked about reducing this dosage, and both times the answer was definitely not, the gains far outweigh the downsides. The second person who did my endoscopy, was actually vern stern, and said ' stop messing about, you've got serious Barretts '!! You'll be on 40mg twice a day if it gets any worse! So, my only concern is, does a ppi actually assist Barretts other than by reducing the acid? Ie if I change my diet to Keto, and / or Carnivore, and prevent acid, am I still missing out on a separate benefit that a ppi provides? I'd think not, but it would be reassuring to know before I quit them. I have never had heartburn since on ppi. If I come off ppi and don't get heartburn due to improved diet, and I safe and protecting my condition still? Yes, they should prescribe alternative methods outlined in this video. Great work Doctor, thankyou.
To answer the 2nd comment, I've been told there is no cure for Barretts.
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.
I sure do like this guy, in all respect I know he’s a doctor! My question… me, heartburn every day years now. Almost every time I eat the smallest of whatever I get heartburn ‼️. So then I remembered they stole my gallbladder, took it completely out! Yes I had gull stones. I wish now I would have said I’ll keep my god given gallbladder!!
I use to have it bad for a long time.I decided to eat only meat, basically what you touched up on. The bad stomach pains and heart burns, all went away. I weighed 245lbs last year in March. I now weigh 194lbs. I’m happy inside and out wise. Idk but the meat diet worked out for me.
Literally just meat? What meat?? Nothing else???
@@chaiam they probably did carnivore or the lion diet which both is mainly animal based
I agree with everything Ken says here, and what actually has always worked for me when i have acid reflux is by having a table spoon or 2 of Braggs apple cider vinegar in a glass of water to drink. works for me every time.

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.

Rush to nearby clinic, waited for one hour but the med worked too slow.
Since I couldn't bear the pain any longer, I took a glass of coca cola and sip it bit by bit for 20 minutes.
It stomach pressure were slowly released after one hour. The burnt were also reduced by half.

Good tips. I suffered from heartburn and every now and then acid reflux for several years. I started taking Pepcid every night over that period of time. I decided I had enough and started drinking some apple cider vinegar with water several times a day. Within a week and a half most of my heartburn went away.

My GERD is a daily struggle. I feel like I can not breathe and it makes me anxious. Shortness of breath is controlling my life. I need help! I am thinking that it is my adrenal glands causing my fatigue and gerd because all my test are normal. Do you have any suggestions Dr? I appreciate you!
