7 Surprising Ways to Treat Acid Reflux

[@Alianger]

1. Lower stress levels 2. Avoid anything that can lower acid production such as stress or medication 3. Optimize nasal breathing 4. Take care of snoring or sleep apnea, lose weight if overweight 5. Get your vitamin d level to above 60 - get more sunlight and/or supplements if needed 6. Go on a low carb diet 7. Promote your body's melatonin production by avoiding screens before bedtime and getting as much sun exposure as possible for vitamin d and mitochondrial melatonin production

Yes I have stuffy nose always taking allergy pills. I had my GB taken out 3/17/20. I have had horrible pain ever since been to 5 GI. They have me deloxitine and now a PPI 20. I hope some day I can get over this. They call my condition dypepesia. I take l-glutamine vitamin D magnesium G, fiber pills and acidophilus.

[@RaechelleBennett782]

Dr.Park, there is one more very important element to this equation. I had acid reflux for most of my life. I was put on a proton inhibitor called Losec and I continued taking it for years. However, I am now much healthier finding intermittent fasting to help and a better diet, but by accident I discovered something so very simple. My covid challenge, back when a lot of us were isolating in our homes, was to learn a new culture and language. I chose Korean. With it came the Korean eating style. I discovered Kimchi. I had tried many probiotics to help my acid reflux but none worked. I did not know when I first tried Kimchi that it was a probiotic. What I noticed was that my acid reflux was diminished. I ate Kimchi every day, without taking my Losec, for a week and I had no acid reflux anymore. It's been 11 months since my discovery of Kimchi, and that it is a live fermented probiotic and extremely helpful with acid reflux. I now make my own batches of Kimchi and I eat it every day. Perhaps discuss how active probiotics can neutral stomach acid and return it to its natural balance. Thank you for all your hard work to help us. 🙏🌹

[@youlknowmyname]

Curious if it was the probiotics or the cabbage. Some say that because cabbage has S-Methylmethionine, which helps in acid reflux.

[@RaechelleBennett782]

@@youlknowmyname I believe it is the Kimchi. Before I discovered Kimchi, I normally ate a lot of cabbage. Fresh cabbage is always in my fridge and I consume it at least 5 out of 7 days per week, cooked or raw in salads. I ran out of my homemade Kimchi this past 3 weeks and even though I consume cabbage almost daily, my acid reflux is returning. Perhaps it doesn't work as a probiotic/acid diminisher for everyone, it works for me. I just made a new batch of Kimchi yesterday. 🌹

Steven, thanks for this excellent video. I do feel worse in the morning when I am awoken with a blocked nose. (6" raised mattress food 4-5 hours before sleep) I have found an excellent 'magnetic' nasal dilator called 'Air Intake'(American product) which are FAR superior to disposable stick - on nasal strips. Both my wife and I suffer from reflux. We are both fit, slim, and avoid trigger foods, onions, garlic, alcohol, sauces, chocolate, etc. Both of us suffer from strong inflammation (burning sensation) of the throat with some mild to moderate ear and sinus discomfort. We have both undergone 2 endoscopies and Bravo tests which revealed no, or only 2% reflux. I suspect that pepsin, or acid, is being released in aerosol form from a slightly compromised sphincter - a bit like a leaking tap where the washer looks intact but has a very tiny imperfection. We have had to greatly adjust our lifestyle, hardly eating out and changing our food choices.

[@adamblockwood]

I have a stuffy nose, LPR, and OSA. I have noticed a high correlation between the number of events I have in a night, and severity of LPR symptoms. It all seems linked - stress, sleep, relux. It also seems to be multiple directional. I was shocked when I found out that I had OSA because I am thin and thought that it was only for people who are overweight (same with reflux).

[@doctorstevenpark]

Although being overweight raises your risk of sleep apnea, you can be young, thin, female, and not ever snore and still have severe obstructive sleep apnea. My main point is that it's mainly due to jaw structure narrowing, which I describe in my book, Sleep, Interrupted.

GERD also has a lot to do with intra-abdominal pressure. If someone is trying to inhale or holding their breath when the body needs to exhale, then the pressure will just force the contents of the stomach back up the esophagus in order to make the room that it needs. But doctors won't tell you this, of course.

He did biopsy and ultra sound and told me he wasn't sure what it was but it's about 4 cm ad not benign. 2 years later he did again ultra sound and didn't tell me anything about it, now he sent me again for ultra sound and told me the nodules on my thyroid are growing and it is now 5 cm and must be removed immediately since it may be cancerous. At this time I asked him so many questions like: why he wasn't sure what it was 4 years ago. why he said it is not canserous. Why he didn't suggest any medication over the years and now he wants to perform surgery right away?????

I have been doing this for over a month and haven't noticed any stuffiness during the day. Per my fitbit my deep sleep has increased.

[@doctorstevenpark]

It sounds like you're on the verge of being addicted. Afrin is not meant to be used for more than a few days. Since you're already on the Fluticasone, talk to your doctor about stopping Afrin. If you have rebound nasal congestion, then there are other ways to wean you off Afrin. Ultimately, it sounds like you'll need to see an ENT to address your stuffy nose. Good luck!

All of Dr Parks videos are great. Vitamin K2-mk4 and mk7 before and during pregnancy helps prevent the child from needing braces and reduces the likelihood of them having a deviated septum because the narrower mouth causes the roof of the mouth to rise higher causing the septum to be pushed up from the bottom causing a s curve. So I recommend all pregnant women to take at least two pills daily of Koncentrated K supplements (vitamin K2-mk4,mk7). Dr Park has a lot of videos on deviated septum surgery. He's very good.

@@jonssu0000 it seems to me that there are two types of reflux. People complain of burning. I and others have the throat clearing annoyance. I tried HCL. i had heartburn for the first time ever. Dr Aviv’s technique helped me. I cut out coffee, alcohol, tomatoes, raw onions for a few weeks. My throat annoying reflux has gone. I’ve stopped PPI. I have one coffee a day and a beer not everyday.

Is it possible to need Septoplasty but then it no longer being necessary once jaw surgery (to fix recessed jaw) has been performed or can jaw surgery not resolve a septic deviation?

Can you recommend how to fix hiatal hernia… thank you

[@doctorstevenpark]

Before looking into any conventional treatment options, check to see if you have obstructive sleep apnea. Even if you undergo a Nissen procedure, the hernia may come back if the apneas are not treated.

I have both, sinusitis and acid reflux. And I easily get a sore throat from sweets.

[@mittjacobisen7057]

Dr Park, whenever I get a sore throat and heartburn it is followed by hiccups - any explanations why ?

[@sekandarali9000]

I am suffering both acid reflux and nasal congestion while sleep. I feel fatigue and irritated during the next day and trouble to focus on office work.

[@jonssu0000]

750mg of HCL betaine twice a day for 1-2 months will fix it.
