[@kevinrtres]

*_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. ???

@@jimmack1071 research ketogenic diet. Check out Low Carb Down Under on KZbin. 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.

I have to give you a huge thank you for this one. After 8 months on Keto I was still not able to get off the Omeprazole. Was taking twice a day and when I tried to stop it felt like my entire gut was on fire. After applying your info from this video I am finally off the meds completely. Also seems to be helping my bowel. Very grateful for all your videos but especially found this one helpful.

Great! Which of Dr B’s remedies did you find the most useful please?

So if the Keto did not help what did? I mean, which specific advice (or more) other than keto did the trick for you? Thanks!

Apple cider vinegar. Fixes stomach every time. I use abt two tbsps in flavoured water.

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've been taking Rabeprazole 20mg for 2 years now. I just found out, this is a PPI, which closes the proton pumps irreversibly in the stomach. If this is true, how can all the minerals, nutrition, vitamins be absorbed in my body?! I just don't get it, and nobody answers my question. How can I quit safely the Rabeprazole and fix the absorption problems created by this medication??!!! Can you please tell me, how did you fix your problem, as I see you're in the same boat...

Thanks Doc. Very helpful

[@davidatscp]

Thanks Dr Berry for this info! Below is a summary with approx time mark in the video for the point made: For temp relief * Proton Pump Inhibitors are OK for 2 wks or occasional use only * 2:00 You may need to take your PPI or H2 Blocker each day or every 2nd day whilst you implement the below strategies. You may then go to taking your PPI or H2 blocker every 3rd day whilst doing the below strategies. * 2:20 If GERD flares up, take it for 3-5 days, but then stop, because PPIs and H2 blockers stop you being able to absorb minerals because the PPIs and H2 blockers reduce you stomach acidity that helps with vitamin absorption etc. * 2:50 Taking PPIs and H2 Blockers every day long term can lead to increased risk of pneumonia, osteoporosis and dementia * 4:55 2 tablespoons of Apple Cider Vinegar (with the "Mother") in a glass of water can provide immediate relief, as can chewing gum or licorice. You may be able to take ACV undiluted. * 5:35 A tablespoon of Baking Soda (Bicarb soda) in a glass of water will help raise the PH of your stomach as it has a PH of 7 and will dilute the acid in your esophagus * 6:10 Chewing on a piece of ginger root. Keep it in the fridge and slice off a piece to chew on when you have heartburn * 6:25 A pinch of unprocessed sea salt (like Redman's) on the tongue For long term cure * 7:05 Remove grains, liquid dairy from diet and eat a low inflammatory diet - Low Carb, Keto or carnivore * 8:10 Lose weight and don't put pressure on the stomach. Low Carb, Keto, Carnivore can help this * 9:00 Stop eating and drinking 2 hrs before lying down in bed. Your sphincter (valve) is supposed to be closed all the time, but it can become dysfunctional and leak acid up the esophagus. You may not feel symptoms during the night from your acid going into the esophagus, but you will feel it the next day. * 10:15 Raise the head of the bed 2-4 inches with bricks. Don't use more pillows under your head as they will put pressure on your stomach * 11:40 Stop smoking, drinking too much alcohol and drinking too much coffee. May need to stop coffee and alcohol temporarily. * 13:10 Have a good Probiotic (refrigerated one are usually better, not from China Mart) * 13:55 Don't have a belt or girdle done up to tight. Wear loose-fitting clothes.

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.

[@jtobit]

Which magnesium

[@katieswan7385]

@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.

[@janetfagan7536]

What time of day did he take it?

[@katieswan7385]

@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.

While drinking was I lying down and noticed pain in upper abdomen and later on pinching pain are in the upper sides of the chest. I went to see the doctor and he prescribe PP1 This happened four days ago and since then I noticed pinching pain in upper areas of the chest. I noticed yesterday eating spicy noddles I noticed pinch pain left and right aside of the chest.

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.

Great video Dr. Berry! I was diagnosed with Barrett's esophagus almost a year ago. I was put on Protonix 40mg daily, but haven't taken it daily as told, admittedly. I have been keto/IF for 2 months and have lost 27 lbs. This weight loss alone has helped tremendously! I have to go back for a scope soon, so I'm hoping for positive results, despite me being lazy at times and not taking the Protonix. I have been taking it lately, because of the higher risk of cancer. I'm hoping here soon I can lose the Protonix for good, as I continue to lose weight.
