After seeing this, I immediately followed Dr. Aviv's recommendations. Within just 48 hours I felt so much better!!! Have been WFPB since 2012, but in 2015 started having GI problems. Was diagnosed with Acid Reflux. I was quite confused, because I thought that eating WFPB would have prevented this. Now I know from Dr. Aviv that even some of the healthiest foods on a WFPB diet needs to be tweaked. I had gone to 6 gastrointestinal doctors. Five of them never mentioned diet and the 6th one wanted me to go back to SAD! I am hoping, Chef AJ, that you can come up with and share recipes that are low acid, SOS WFPB. Only about 10% of the recipes in his books are. The community would be so very grateful!!!!
I found this so interesting but I have to say I was disappointed when I got his cookbook and found recipes were not WFPB compliant. Maybe I missed something here that said he wasn't plant based. Hopefully as you said Chef AJ can come up with low acid recipes!
@@marypfender9984if you read his book he does include lean poultry, fish & eggs - although he does say only if you have no issues with them. Chef AJ has invited him because even some vegans have Acid Reflux or LPR, and his diet does contain enough vegetables & some fruit that plant-based eaters can create meals with.
I have been misdiagnosed for allergies for years (8 y.). I was just diagnosed with Gerd last year. I am being pumped with anti acid medication. I hate it. After listening to Dr. AVIV, I realize it was a pepsin beginner and now has turned into Gerd. Thank you for explaining - in detail- what acid reflux is and how it differs from pepsin. All my systems were upper until the put me on anti-acid medications.
Look up foods that cause acid reflux and look into food combining and don't lie down. Stop the toxic medication if you wish to be healthy and not get Alzheimer's.
I’m a patient of dr. Aviv . Great doctor, his knowledge is a life saver, living in Florida I’m lucky to find him because no one could help me here. I use his both cook books. ❤ always thankful.
I just had my first jump up episode the other night where I was woken up out of a dead sleep unable to breath. It was so scary. Glad to hear a doctor talk about their experience with jump up. This discussion is so helpful.
I am on the acid watcher diet AND I AM SYMPTOM FREE! I have never felt this great in years. Is it hard to do ? yes it is, its not an easy road to change your eating habits but doable and when you reach that point of feeling better, no more chest pains, heartburn, nausea, bloating, skin breakouts to name a few, the journey is soo worth it! And I lost alot of unhealthy weight as well! The book provides some menu samples and you can adjust it to your preferences easily becuase Dr Aviv provides you with permitted foods list, so use your imagination and have fun and feel great 😊
So wonderful, so proud to be a Chef AJ follower, I think I have watched every episode every episode since November 2019 when I went plant based because of you Chef AJ. I went off Nexium acid blocker within three weeks! Haven’t used it since. This was fantastic and look forward to you two working together xxx
Great interview! Another consideration which wasn’t touched upon is to address the tone of the Vagus nerve. Cranial nerve X innervates the pharynx ,the lower esophageal sphincter etc… Addressing the tone and input into the nervous system could possibly help many . I will definitely pick up Dr. Aviv’s book ..Thanks Chef AJ!
I have been vegan since 2011 and have never been able to fix my reflux issues. I've actually found it especially difficult to enjoy eating WFPB because so many of the recipes call for tomato-based products or lots of onion or garlic or vinegar to make things taste better. A WFPB Acid-Free cookbook would sincerely be a god-send. I have Dr. Aviv's book but there aren't really very many vegan recipes. If you made one, I would pay like $500 for it at this point haha. Please :)
Most of the vegans I met are buying many packaged foods with so many ingredients. I’m not vegan but I cooked for a vegan before and he was blown away by what I prepared. Suggest you spend some time in a food coop, Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods or one of those lovely fresh farmers markets Get creative and check out vegan videos.
CAN SOMEONE PLEASE create a whole foods plant-based recipe and meal plan book based on Dr. Aviv’s low acid guide?!?!? I have The Acid Watcher Diet book and its pH lists of foods, but I’m so lost on what to eat to be nutritionally balanced and tasty!
I bought his book the 28 day acid reflux diet - great book. Also bought the cookbook which had lots of recipes with olive oil, chicken and salmon. Sending cookbook back.
When I got off the school bus this morning, whilst listening to this... I was coughing and mucusing (lol) And now I've learned that I need to neutralise foods to get rid of that mucus!!! Wow!
@@struthadragon8656 , soy milk, tofu & soy products make mucus. Go without them for 21 days & see what happens. I'm working on a mucus free life. Got a sinus infection back after 4 years clean from eating too many flour products & drinking oat milk.
What can I take for acid reflux silent Gerd! I have no gallbladder as well! I usually take ACV, then Oxbile and a Betaine HCL or a digestive enzyme and Tudca! Don't know what else to do! I have the burning in my throat and upper chest area, after I have eaten. I eat vegetables and very little meat or poultry! I don't drink soda pop have never liked carbonated drinks or alcohol. I am very careful of what I eat. I don't know what else to do.Someone said I may have celiac or gluten allergies! Can that be what it is.
My wife suffers from oral facial granulomatosis, a disease with mouth lesions that is attributed to an autoimmune situation. She is also taking a low dose of a PPI for reflux. The problem with the PPI is that it might increase autoimmune problems. There is no study that I can find that definitely associated GERD with OFG ... But I think there could well be a relation and that an Acid Watchers Diet could help her (and also my severe GERD).
I have cleared my throat frequently since childhood. Now in adulthood I'm diagnosed with GERD based on a cough (and still clear my throat). No one scoped me.

Fantastic interview. I suffer from lifelong asthma/allergies and most recently (last 5 years) have been diagnosed with GERD. Upper endoscopy revealed the start of Barrett's esophagus as well (thankfully followup endoscopy no longer showed signs of that). I've been on Prilosec ever since that first endoscopy. Don't know how to spell Dr. Aviv's "huffing/coughing" but I do that ALL DAY LONG. Always thought it was more allergy based but now I realize it is probably the opposite. Definitely going to grab his book and learn more about how to better eat or neutralize certain foods to still enjoy them occasionally.
It’s interesting the different approaches from different doctors. Dr Wright thinks it’s caused by food allergies. I suppose it could be for some people.
Thank you so very much for having Dr. Aviv. My primary reason for following Chef AJ and doing a WFPB lifestyle is controlling my reflux. Losing weight is important but not as primary. This diet has made an amazing difference for me. I first read Dr. Aviv's book about 5 years ago and it changed my life. I have been bringing together Chef AJ's recipes with Dr. Aviv's recommendations and my own knowledge of my body. Thank you thank you thank you!
I don't tolerate any of the reflux medications. I have found that by watching my diet (WFPB) I lost weight just by watching my diet - that's why I say that losing weight is not my focus but rather my lifestyle around food is my focus. It's clear to me that eating plant-based makes a big difference in my reflux.
@@hannalyons4376 I’m so glad for you. I’m looking into the alginates (algae based supplements) to see if they could help with my uncomfortable symptoms. And I’ve heard people mention taking digestive enzymes when they eat. That’s why I asked, so I could see if there was anything else you’re taking that helps.
I noticed this is 11 months old , has a knew recipe book come out between you and the Dr . I just brought the book and found this very interesting, thank you
Chef Aj you are my role model I’m Indian living out of India and one day hopefully I will meet you I learn everyday from you YOU ARE ISPIRATIONAL Much gratitude n thanks
I would like to suggest a quick & easy alternative approach that might work for you. Just drink a couple glasses of water and jump up and down for a couple minutes to jiggle the stomach back down to its normal position. No harm or cost in giving this approach a try. You should know quickly, in a couple days, if this approach helps. Forty years ago, I did an activity which forced part of my stomach up through or past the diaphragm. It was a couple months later that I suddenly started having severe stomach pains. I was initially misdiagnosed by a doctor as having ulcers. It was a couple of years of misery before I realized that the doctor was wrong and I had gastric reflux disease, or GERD. GERD often happens naturally without a clear cause, especially with older people. Normally, the esophagus sphincter and the diaphragm sphincter muscles line up and reinforce each other. If part of the stomach is pushed or pulled up through the diaphragm, the two sphincter muscles don’t line up and stomach acid can more easily leak into the esophagus, causing GERD. Other people suggest drinking warm or hot water to relax the muscles, I would suggest cold water so that the heavy water will stay in the stomach longer. I would also suggest doing it first thing in the morning so the volume of water won’t dilute the digestion process of other food. It may take a repeat on a few successive days for the esophagus to adapt to the new longer length for the stomachs to stay in its new proper position. I would repeat the process anytime I got heartburn or acid taste in my mouth. I have been trouble free for over 35 years now, and can eat anything I want and take no meds for anything. I later learned of a gastroenterologist in Michigan who recommends this process also; maybe others now also. The body needs strong hydrochloric acid in the stomach to trigger the esophageal sphincter to close, to break down bulk foods generally, and to separate protein into the amino acid components to be effectively absorbed from the small intestines for use to make new proteins our body needs. Most or all GERD medicines block the production of or neutralize the hydrochloric acid which then interferes with protein digestion and interferes with esophageal sphincter closing. Both of those actions are counterproductive.
Thank you Chef AJ...this interview was so interesting. I have the throat clearing issue and excess mucous. No idea it is due to acid reflux...and guess what I have been doing every morning for years and years????..drinking lemon juice in my green tea!! Won't be doing that anymore.😊
I have LP R. What works for me is lemon water first in the morning and one T of apple cider before dinner. The rest is very clean green diet. Absolutely no drugs.
What do you consider as a clean green diet? Because I’ve been trying to get this out of my system for sometimes now.. and how long do you have to be on the diet to feel better from what you are dealing with.?
Thanks so much for this! So useful! I think I’ve had reflux for years and because it is silent I blamed allergies. Only recently since watching Chef AJ have I started to notice how food and drink affects my “huffing” and listening to this doctor it totally makes sense.
Chef AJ excellent video, did I hear correctly that tomatoes are okay for acid reflux? if so great news as I have been told they should be avoided if you have Gerd.
I actually got gastritis from spicy pumpkin seeds on an empty stomach for the entire summer. Also, I put powdered ginger in warm water every night before bed. About the same time. Been suffering for four months now. I have been plant based for seven years. Try to get plant protein that doesn’t cause gas. 😕 I also did lots of vinegar.
I have all the symptoms mentioned. And I have had my gallbladder removed. MD always prescribed PPI. They kill stomach's good bacteria. I don't take them and I suffer. I am eager to try food as meds.
Im only half way through but i hope he can clear up the issue of stomach acid. My doctors says reflux is caused by high acid and prescribes me ppis, but i look on the interweb and all over the place its being said that actually its low acid. So now im in a fuddle.
This is so interesting to me. All he talks about with the throat and even the shortness of breath is what I deal with. I've have my esophagus stretched due to trouble swallowing and choking. WFPB has helped me a lot, however I do still have some of the symptoms he describes. I plan on getting his book. AJ, is there any way he could recommend a Dr. in my area since I am in Pa. I've yet to find a specialist who addresses my concerns in this way. Thank you for any help you have to offer.
Thank G-D for Dr Aviv´s helpful tips !!! After following his open-sharing of facts over food properties, 3 of those, from my first meal after that, from last night till today, my digestive system finds remarkable relief which had been suffering for months and years. Blessings from ABOVE, HE will sustain you, surely. Thank you so much, Dr Aviv !
#double check greek yogurt im not sure if and when we are allowed to have greek yogurt but to replace donuts use regular wholemeal toast and buy a donut shape cutter. Spread the yogurt on the toast which should be in the shape of a donut and add fruit on top and remember those delicious krispy kremes that look amazing are fake, they are not real dispising how good looking they taste or look. As the saying goes if its too good to be true it probably is. My partner last night taught me the expression " as you sow, so shall you reap". A few minutes of food pleasures leads to a month of unpleasant stomache displeasures.
Thanks for this video. I guess what was discussed here is about having acid reflux with high acidity level in the stomach. But what if there’s low acidity level that also causes acid reflux.
I have a chronic cough and I keep clearing my throat. I do not have heart burn. I always loose my voice. My gastrointestinal dr say that my acid reflex is not that bad.
A brilliant idea for the future would be holiday seasons summer autumn winter spring but things like acid reflux birthdays, easter, halloween, xmas and etc. But maybey also turned into books it would mske a great acid watcher collection. Also apple donuts are becoming popular instead of bread apple slices with fruit toppings are being used on top instead. Cant wait to try them next week. I am feeling so well now i do want a donut binge but i refuse Becuase i am feeling way to good. My control for food is brilliant now. Got groceries delivered and someone gave me the wrong groceries a massive block of my favourite chocolate was sent to me by mistake i immediately put it back in the bag and have given the groceries to my neighbours. The acid watcher diet is not the book i wanted it was the book i needed. Thanks guys.
Johnathan aviv Hi mr aviv. Thankyou so much for your acid reflux videos they really are inspiring and thankyou for your help sir. My name is nicole 32 all the way from south australia in the city of adelaide. I have been a acid reflux sufferer for a number of years now. My local gp told me i have acid reflux and that i should just avoid caffeine and have lots of small meals. I mean what is that? 😂 There was absolutely no mention of making my meal times last for 20 to 30 minutes, no eating 2 to 3 hours before bed, he failed to mention no red meats, no citrus, no sauces, sugars, salts, no tomato juice onion garlic, he didnt mention the safest dairy products of which i have become fascinated with soy milk and almond milk its currently my latest healthy obsession. There was no mention of not touching canned foods and having skinless fish and chicken. My ph levels throat or esophagus werent checked or even scripted to check but i did have a ultra sound where acid was not detected. I started watching your videos as my acid reflux was severe i ended up having to lock myself in my own home for nearly 3 months dealing with this acid reflux on my own due to being unwell. I just couldnt figure it out. After watching one of your inspiring videos i decided to get off my weekly one treat a week whether it was a bag of crisps or one minitaure chocolate for 12 whole weeks. 3 weeks in and i started to notice a magnificent difference while still eating 30 minute meals every 3 hours even if it was something small like making an apple last for 30 minutes for breakfast. I finally went outside again and for the 1st time in 3 months i finally got my hair done and went for a walk. I really love your battery acid method where you tell people having a bottle of soft drink or a chocolate bar is like me saying oh i only drink battery acid one a month. Its a real page turner for me and realisation because i have alot of battery operated appliances in my home. I did have a miniature junk food binge over the werkend. I bought a bag of chocolate and ended up only eating half and threw the rest out. I didnt feel good eating the chocolate it wasnt as i remebered not as needed or good as i thought. I have also cancelled the latest krispy kreme order as i love to keep up with the latest trends which actually got me thinking as to why im writing to you today. Something that has reaaly got through to me is telling myself that processed food does not belong in our body our bodies weren't created to have processed foods such as chips chocolate cake soft drink. If we look back at the classic ham and pineapple pizza have a look at desperate housewives making cookies baking cherry pies and cakes. Pizza has changed over the years we can now get dessert pizza a pizza smothered with hot fudge and marshmalllows, nacho pizza a pizza that is loaded with chips sour cream and more. Even milkshakes these days have lollies and chocolate pieces inside of them and these are the things that people are attracted to. If we look at a traditional banana this is what we get a banana. But if you were to place a banana next to the latest krispy kreme which is currently chocolate hersheys in Australia a donut smothered in hersheys topping sprinkled with miniature choloates. C'mon what do you think people will buy? Donuts these days have glistening toppings some in australia just a little while ago had some with rainbow sugar straps on them known as rainbow donuts. #these were delicious by the way. I know you have my full permission to tell me off. From when i was a child i can only recall a few fruit and vegetable commercials one was a banana commercial with people having fun with bananas one girl was dancing in a banana skirt, the other was a mandarin advert where someone made a smiley face with the mandarin or orange, i remember some fruit tree commercials, and a farmer made out of a vegetable face and one sports athlete telling us to grab 5 a day. These days fruit commercials are repulsive they have all this fruit advertised so they can go into lollies and other packaged foods so people think how healthy they are. The juice i had yesterday was at a 2 star health rating which means not healthy. One commercial i watched only yesterday had a vomiting piece of fruit. If we have a look at milk these days flavoured milk even flavoured milk these days is becoming loaded with chocolates and lollies. Cereal is now being placed in ice creams. Alot of people think that a cherry chocolate cake is good for us. People think that its ok because they are eating a few cherries. Wrong its not okay. It should be the other way around. There should be more fruit than the cake or better yet no cake at all. I also really love your 730 kitchen closed rule. I have gotten myself i to a really beautiful routine. My dinner is no later than 7pm so at 730 i am finished or finishing dinner the kitchen is clean and i live waking up to a clean kitchen every morning. I stay up reading for 2 to 3 hours which is brilliant for my job as a writer so dim lights rarely any tv i sleep all tjroughout te night know and i think the hot soy and almond milks that have replaced the hot chocolates are helping with that to. I mentioned before that i have alot of batteries in my home. Normally its lights out when the restaraunt closes but now its my favourite lights go on in the kitchen when its kitchen closed. I look forward to kitchen closed every night now and now i know that i can be betyer withing 3 weeks and will now continue to be getting stronger as the days go by i have even confirmed a business trip overseas. Sometimes the sugary cravings kick hard like hot dogs burgers and even chocolate and even seafood with all the trimmings like vinegar and lemon sauce. Have you got any tips for those sugary and not so sugary cravings. Normally after 3 days if im still craving the same thing i go for it but ive incresed this to 3 weeks maybe a month now. Have you got any tips, advice and is there anything you wish to add. Thankyou so much for your work, the videos are great keep up the brilliant worrk and thankyou for helping us
I’ve heard gi doctors on TH-cam say you have to wean yourself off the ppi, because it lowers the acid in the stomach so you have to give the body time to regenerate the acid. Research this a bit for confirmation.
I don’t know which sparkling flavored water he was referring to, but I just tested the sparkling mixed berry mineral water from Trader Joe’s and it has a pH of 6.5 which is non-acidic.
I love him but he said something that was not accurate. He said "Barrett's esophagus when you have stomach lining creeping up into the esophagus" That is not accurate that's a hiatal hernia. Sometimes you will get a hiatal hernia which could be an issue and you could have Barrett's esophagus... Which is a change in the esophageal lining due to acid reflux.
Plan on going on an overseas adventure soon. Has anyone got any ideas on how to cope with different time zones? When i wake up in the morning where i am travelling people are asleep. Should i become noctornal? Its really scary especially when i may not be able to have oatmeal or a aviv berry smoothie to wake people up at 3 am. May not even be able to bring the blender should i instead for breakfast just have fruit and milk for breakfast or should i take the long way out and just go overseas for 24 to 48 hours??? But the expenses are way above going on a cruise. Should i just forget about the wole thing????
Thank you doctor for the professionalism with which you do your job. You listen to your client and you always put their needs first, to ensure they live another day healthy and vibrant. Cheers to you my doctor, I celebrate the way you do your job. If it was up to me I would give you the award of being the best doctor. Thank you Dr Emovon on TH-cam for curing my bad breath and acid reflex naturally.😊

Definitely going to grab his book and learn more about how to better eat or neutralize certain foods to still enjoy them occasionally.
😊
But what about FODMAPS?
What’s ur age
It’s interesting the different approaches from different doctors. Dr Wright thinks it’s caused by food allergies. I suppose it could be for some people.
Cauliflower crust, nuts , ricotta, sliced tomatoes... is not a pizza. It takes 10 minutes max to made marinara sauce. No sugar.
How can you neutralize the acidity in vinegar and acidic foods?
Thank you so very much for having Dr. Aviv. My primary reason for following Chef AJ and doing a WFPB lifestyle is controlling my reflux. Losing weight is important but not as primary. This diet has made an amazing difference for me. I first read Dr. Aviv's book about 5 years ago and it changed my life. I have been bringing together Chef AJ's recipes with Dr. Aviv's recommendations and my own knowledge of my body. Thank you thank you thank you!
Keep going, keep going! We never go back or look back! We sell the diet by attraction!
Do you take any supplements or medications at all for the reflux? And why do you think weight isn’t as important? Thanks for your feedback.
I don't tolerate any of the reflux medications. I have found that by watching my diet (WFPB) I lost weight just by watching my diet - that's why I say that losing weight is not my focus but rather my lifestyle around food is my focus. It's clear to me that eating plant-based makes a big difference in my reflux.
@@hannalyons4376 I’m so glad for you. I’m looking into the alginates (algae based supplements) to see if they could help with my uncomfortable symptoms. And I’ve heard people mention taking digestive enzymes when they eat. That’s why I asked, so I could see if there was anything else you’re taking that helps.
Dr Aviv 's book is very helpful.
I noticed this is 11 months old , has a knew recipe book come out between you and the Dr .
I just brought the book and found this very interesting, thank you
Chef Aj you are my role model I’m Indian living out of India and one day hopefully I will meet you I learn everyday from you YOU ARE ISPIRATIONAL Much gratitude n thanks
Dr. Aviv is SUCH an excellent physician! Love this guy!
So basically quit the medicines and adapt to healthy alkaline food habits. And most important HAVE PATIENCE! ❤
Great show, thank you for all the info.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you, I am reading his book now. This was great.
Is green tea ok for acid reflux?
I would like to suggest a quick & easy alternative approach that might work for you. Just drink a couple glasses of water and jump up and down for a couple minutes to jiggle the stomach back down to its normal position. No harm or cost in giving this approach a try. You should know quickly, in a couple days, if this approach helps.
Forty years ago, I did an activity which forced part of my stomach up through or past the diaphragm. It was a couple months later that I suddenly started having severe stomach pains. I was initially misdiagnosed by a doctor as having ulcers. It was a couple of years of misery before I realized that the doctor was wrong and I had gastric reflux disease, or GERD. GERD often happens naturally without a clear cause, especially with older people. Normally, the esophagus sphincter and the diaphragm sphincter muscles line up and reinforce each other. If part of the stomach is pushed or pulled up through the diaphragm, the two sphincter muscles don’t line up and stomach acid can more easily leak into the esophagus, causing GERD.
Other people suggest drinking warm or hot water to relax the muscles, I would suggest cold water so that the heavy water will stay in the stomach longer. I would also suggest doing it first thing in the morning so the volume of water won’t dilute the digestion process of other food. It may take a repeat on a few successive days for the esophagus to adapt to the new longer length for the stomachs to stay in its new proper position. I would repeat the process anytime I got heartburn or acid taste in my mouth. I have been trouble free for over 35 years now, and can eat anything I want and take no meds for anything. I later learned of a gastroenterologist in Michigan who recommends this process also; maybe others now also.
The body needs strong hydrochloric acid in the stomach to trigger the esophageal sphincter to close, to break down bulk foods generally, and to separate protein into the amino acid components to be effectively absorbed from the small intestines for use to make new proteins our body needs. Most or all GERD medicines block the production of or neutralize the hydrochloric acid which then interferes with protein digestion and interferes with esophageal sphincter closing. Both of those actions are counterproductive.
Good
Thank you for sharing Dr. Aviv! Very helpful!
Thank you Chef AJ...this interview was so interesting. I have the throat clearing issue and excess mucous. No idea it is due to acid reflux...and guess what I have been doing every morning for years and years????..drinking lemon juice in my green tea!! Won't be doing that anymore.😊
R U eating any dairy products, soy, almond milk, white flour products?
@@jgrysiak6566 Just soy
@@marierogala3862 whole soy products and almond milk without additives or preservatives are both in Dr. Aviv's healing phase. Read his book.
Lemon n yougart driesxdown my throat ....
Most educational and helpful interview of the day! Can’t wait to buy his book👏🏻❤️
I have LP R. What works for me is lemon water first in the morning and one T of apple cider before dinner. The rest is very clean green diet. Absolutely no drugs.
What do you consider as a clean green diet? Because I’ve been trying to get this out of my system for sometimes now.. and how long do you have to be on the diet to feel better from what you are dealing with.?
Two most inspiring, beautiful people!! Please keep spreading your knowledge😊💛
This is phenomenal information that I know will help my family and myself. Thank you Dr. Aviv and Chef AJ!
Glad it was helpful!
One of the best webinars I've heard. Thank you so much.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Why can't our GP'S get onto this information? Took me years to find this solution.
Thanks so much for this! So useful! I think I’ve had reflux for years and because it is silent I blamed allergies. Only recently since watching Chef AJ have I started to notice how food and drink affects my “huffing” and listening to this doctor it totally makes sense.
Ya , they always blame it on the trees, grass, plants! Never on their disgusting diet! I have an ex-friend that lives on antihistamines!
What symptoms u have
Thank you very much!
Very informative. Thanks for this seminar.
Great show, thank you!!! I learned so much.
Our pleasure!
Chef AJ excellent video, did I hear correctly that tomatoes are okay for acid reflux? if so great news as I have been told they should be avoided if you have Gerd.
I actually got gastritis from spicy pumpkin seeds on an empty stomach for the entire summer. Also, I put powdered ginger in warm water every night before bed. About the same time. Been suffering for four months now. I have been plant based for seven years. Try to get plant protein that doesn’t cause gas. 😕 I also did lots of vinegar.
Drink celery juice on an empty stomach try for seven days
Amazing doctor will buy books !!
When I drink lime or lemon water it is supposed to be good to the body as a alkaline beverage
Another very interesting, informative show! Thank you!
Our pleasure!
I have all the symptoms mentioned. And I have had my gallbladder removed. MD always prescribed PPI. They kill stomach's good bacteria. I don't take them and I suffer. I am eager to try food as meds.
I usually eat last meal between 5 & 6 yet get reflux in the night?
Me too… I get it fasting too 😔
What about having a decaf Coffee???
Im only half way through but i hope he can clear up the issue of stomach acid. My doctors says reflux is caused by high acid and prescribes me ppis, but i look on the interweb and all over the place its being said that actually its low acid. So now im in a fuddle.
Thanks for explaining the neutralizing the a ids with foods…
Awesome doctor!!!! I wish he were here in the Tampa Bay area. I'm ordering the new cookbook asap.
Very informative!
This is so interesting to me. All he talks about with the throat and even the shortness of breath is what I deal with. I've have my esophagus stretched due to trouble swallowing and choking. WFPB has helped me a lot, however I do still have some of the symptoms he describes. I plan on getting his book. AJ, is there any way he could recommend a Dr. in my area since I am in Pa. I've yet to find a specialist who addresses my concerns in this way. Thank you for any help you have to offer.

Thank G-D for Dr Aviv´s helpful tips !!! After following his open-sharing of facts over food properties, 3 of those, from my first meal after that, from last night till today, my digestive system finds remarkable relief which had been suffering for months and years. Blessings from ABOVE, HE will sustain you, surely. Thank you so much, Dr Aviv !
What where your symptoms before
#double check greek yogurt im not sure if and when we are allowed to have greek yogurt but to replace donuts use regular wholemeal toast and buy a donut shape cutter. Spread the yogurt on the toast which should be in the shape of a donut and add fruit on top and remember those delicious krispy kremes that look amazing are fake, they are not real dispising how good looking they taste or look. As the saying goes if its too good to be true it probably is. My partner last night taught me the expression " as you sow, so shall you reap". A few minutes of food pleasures leads to a month of unpleasant stomache displeasures.
You are the best Dr. Aviv. Really the best.
great video DR i learned a lot . i herd marsmallow root will heal the digestive tract
No mention of hiatus hernia in this book, at least not in the index !
Thanks for this video. I guess what was discussed here is about having acid reflux with high acidity level in the stomach. But what if there’s low acidity level that also causes acid reflux.
I have a chronic cough and I keep clearing my throat. I do not have heart burn. I always loose my voice. My gastrointestinal dr say that my acid reflex is not that bad.
Search for Serious Keto on YT, apple cider helped me. Take small steps thou cut back on acidic and processed food.
A brilliant idea for the future would be holiday seasons summer autumn winter spring but things like acid reflux birthdays, easter, halloween, xmas and etc. But maybey also turned into books it would mske a great acid watcher collection. Also apple donuts are becoming popular instead of bread apple slices with fruit toppings are being used on top instead. Cant wait to try them next week. I am feeling so well now i do want a donut binge but i refuse Becuase i am feeling way to good. My control for food is brilliant now. Got groceries delivered and someone gave me the wrong groceries a massive block of my favourite chocolate was sent to me by mistake i immediately put it back in the bag and have given the groceries to my neighbours. The acid watcher diet is not the book i wanted it was the book i needed. Thanks guys.
How can I get Dr Aviv's book on reflux?
It's available on Amazon.
What about excess antibiotic use? Can those start LPR?
Why do other doctors on you tube say to take ACV to stop acid reflux?
ACV set me on fire.
ACV has tremendously helped my acid reflux. Everyone needs to listen to their own body.
I don’t even like the smell of it.
yeah " jump ups" are absolutely terrifying
When I was in junior high school, many decades ago, the home ec teacher put a tooth in coke. The coke dissolved it.
If you don't take the medication can you create Cancer. Im worried to come off from my medication.
I wish someone would write a book on gastroparesis/gerd/gluten/dairy free and sibo friendly plant based book! 😢 I want beans lol
Red apples are a natural remedy for acid reflux. Eat red apples for a few days and you will see positive results.
Hello i have bad acidreflux and every morning i wake up my mouth is very bitter can you help me i need to no what to use to get rid of that bitterness

Johnathan aviv
Hi mr aviv. Thankyou so much for your acid reflux videos they really are inspiring and thankyou for your help sir. My name is nicole 32 all the way from south australia in the city of adelaide. I have been a acid reflux sufferer for a number of years now. My local gp told me i have acid reflux and that i should just avoid caffeine and have lots of small meals. I mean what is that? 😂 There was absolutely no mention of making my meal times last for 20 to 30 minutes, no eating 2 to 3 hours before bed, he failed to mention no red meats, no citrus, no sauces, sugars, salts, no tomato juice onion garlic, he didnt mention the safest dairy products of which i have become fascinated with soy milk and almond milk its currently my latest healthy obsession. There was no mention of not touching canned foods and having skinless fish and chicken. My ph levels throat or esophagus werent checked or even scripted to check but i did have a ultra sound where acid was not detected. I started watching your videos as my acid reflux was severe i ended up having to lock myself in my own home for nearly 3 months dealing with this acid reflux on my own due to being unwell. I just couldnt figure it out. After watching one of your inspiring videos i decided to get off my weekly one treat a week whether it was a bag of crisps or one minitaure chocolate for 12 whole weeks. 3 weeks in and i started to notice a magnificent difference while still eating 30 minute meals every 3 hours even if it was something small like making an apple last for 30 minutes for breakfast. I finally went outside again and for the 1st time in 3 months i finally got my hair done and went for a walk. I really love your battery acid method where you tell people having a bottle of soft drink or a chocolate bar is like me saying oh i only drink battery acid one a month. Its a real page turner for me and realisation because i have alot of battery operated appliances in my home. I did have a miniature junk food binge over the werkend. I bought a bag of chocolate and ended up only eating half and threw the rest out. I didnt feel good eating the chocolate it wasnt as i remebered not as needed or good as i thought. I have also cancelled the latest krispy kreme order as i love to keep up with the latest trends which actually got me thinking as to why im writing to you today. Something that has reaaly got through to me is telling myself that processed food does not belong in our body our bodies weren't created to have processed foods such as chips chocolate cake soft drink. If we look back at the classic ham and pineapple pizza have a look at desperate housewives making cookies baking cherry pies and cakes. Pizza has changed over the years we can now get dessert pizza a pizza smothered with hot fudge and marshmalllows, nacho pizza a pizza that is loaded with chips sour cream and more. Even milkshakes these days have lollies and chocolate pieces inside of them and these are the things that people are attracted to. If we look at a traditional banana this is what we get a banana. But if you were to place a banana next to the latest krispy kreme which is currently chocolate hersheys in Australia a donut smothered in hersheys topping sprinkled with miniature choloates. C'mon what do you think people will buy? Donuts these days have glistening toppings some in australia just a little while ago had some with rainbow sugar straps on them known as rainbow donuts. #these were delicious by the way. I know you have my full permission to tell me off. From when i was a child i can only recall a few fruit and vegetable commercials one was a banana commercial with people having fun with bananas one girl was dancing in a banana skirt, the other was a mandarin advert where someone made a smiley face with the mandarin or orange, i remember some fruit tree commercials, and a farmer made out of a vegetable face and one sports athlete telling us to grab 5 a day. These days fruit commercials are repulsive they have all this fruit advertised so they can go into lollies and other packaged foods so people think how healthy they are. The juice i had yesterday was at a 2 star health rating which means not healthy. One commercial i watched only yesterday had a vomiting piece of fruit. If we have a look at milk these days flavoured milk even flavoured milk these days is becoming loaded with chocolates and lollies. Cereal is now being placed in ice creams. Alot of people think that a cherry chocolate cake is good for us. People think that its ok because they are eating a few cherries. Wrong its not okay. It should be the other way around. There should be more fruit than the cake or better yet no cake at all. I also really love your 730 kitchen closed rule. I have gotten myself i to a really beautiful routine. My dinner is no later than 7pm so at 730 i am finished or finishing dinner the kitchen is clean and i live waking up to a clean kitchen every morning. I stay up reading for 2 to 3 hours which is brilliant for my job as a writer so dim lights rarely any tv i sleep all tjroughout te night know and i think the hot soy and almond milks that have replaced the hot chocolates are helping with that to. I mentioned before that i have alot of batteries in my home. Normally its lights out when the restaraunt closes but now its my favourite lights go on in the kitchen when its kitchen closed. I look forward to kitchen closed every night now and now i know that i can be betyer withing 3 weeks and will now continue to be getting stronger as the days go by i have even confirmed a business trip overseas. Sometimes the sugary cravings kick hard like hot dogs burgers and even chocolate and even seafood with all the trimmings like vinegar and lemon sauce. Have you got any tips for those sugary and not so sugary cravings. Normally after 3 days if im still craving the same thing i go for it but ive incresed this to 3 weeks maybe a month now. Have you got any tips, advice and is there anything you wish to add. Thankyou so much for your work, the videos are great keep up the brilliant worrk and thankyou for helping us
If nothing else works to treat acid reflux problem, try eating red apples for a few days. You will see positive results.
Great talk😊
Attempted getting off meds for-acid reflux! Stomach flared painfully!
Aloe vera and baking soda are soothing
I’ve heard gi doctors on TH-cam say you have to wean yourself off the ppi, because it lowers the acid in the stomach so you have to give the body time to regenerate the acid. Research this a bit for confirmation.

Very interesting interview and information! Dr Aviv was a great guest. Thank you so much 💜
Glad you enjoyed it!
I don’t know which sparkling flavored water he was referring to, but I just tested the sparkling mixed berry mineral water from Trader Joe’s and it has a pH of 6.5 which is non-acidic.
Is your book in Australia
I love him but he said something that was not accurate. He said "Barrett's esophagus when you have stomach lining creeping up into the esophagus"
That is not accurate that's a hiatal hernia.
Sometimes you will get a hiatal hernia which could be an issue and you could have Barrett's esophagus... Which is a change in the esophageal lining due to acid reflux.
Plan on going on an overseas adventure soon. Has anyone got any ideas on how to cope with different time zones? When i wake up in the morning where i am travelling people are asleep. Should i become noctornal? Its really scary especially when i may not be able to have oatmeal or a aviv berry smoothie to wake people up at 3 am. May not even be able to bring the blender should i instead for breakfast just have fruit and milk for breakfast or should i take the long way out and just go overseas for 24 to 48 hours??? But the expenses are way above going on a cruise. Should i just forget about the wole thing????
Thank you doctor for the professionalism with which you do your job. You listen to your client and you always put their needs first, to ensure they live another day healthy and vibrant. Cheers to you my doctor, I celebrate the way you do your job. If it was up to me I would give you the award of being the best doctor. Thank you Dr Emovon on TH-cam for curing my bad breath and acid reflex naturally.😊
great video
