Getting To The Root Of And Getting Rid Of Heartburn And Reflux

[@CCitis]

It’s so brutal… I was on my PPI for years. My doctor told me to be on them for life. It’s unreal. Now, 3 weeks off I am suffering through this rebound, praying my reflux will stabilize over time. Tread lightly with the PPIs you guys.

@@CCitis I know how u feel..going off the PPI's is hell. It sucks that they have to be so bad for us.

They already know. Doctors only want to treat your symptoms, not your underlying condition or disease. THIS is how they make money. What most ppl don’t know is that there are legal drug dealers who show up at doctors offices to sell them on new medications. They ask the doctor to prescribe their patients THEIR meds instead of a competitors drugs, and when they prescribe a certain amount, they give the doctors a car, or free all expense paid trips for whole family to Europe, or many other expensive “gifts”. and all the Dr has to do is push these certain pills on the patients. Instead of the doctor actually looking to se what is causing the problem, it’s just easier to give them a pill for this and a pill for that. My stepfather was on over a dozen prescription pills. He just died at 67 yrs old.

Im from zimbabwe and have had heartburn for 7 years . Im 35 now . Iv been on ppi's and still struggling . Iv lost weight and hardly eat anything . Iv got a polyp in my upper stomache . Iv asked my doctor to get it removed and he said its nothing to worry about . Iv told him about low acid affecting the LES function and he said its nonsense. Iv been to 7 doctors including specialists and they all perscribe ppi's . Im losing this battle . Im weak all the time . I get sick very often . Im sad that my kids always see me ill .

[@jg8753]

One things that I dont agree with is saying "once you know what to do its easy". Eating a restrictive diet is certainly not easy for everyone and can have other side effects that make you feel worse than just having reflux. I have tried all natural remedies for GERD and they generally always seem to make it worse. Giving up coffee and eating a low carb diet leads to a complete halt of all bowel motility for me and makes me feel lethargic and depressed. HCL and other things to increase stomach acid also seems to make my GERD and stomach pain worse (most any supplements do). Stress over restrictive dieting is actually also a huge trigger for my reflux as I feel tense and guilty that I cant control myself or do things right. These are just some thoughts on saying "treating this condition is easy". This can be a very emotional condition as food is not simply sustenance to all people but something to be shared and enjoyed-- not an easy thing to do when living with GERD and other digestive issues.

Love this stuff. Been on a PPI for a couple of decades started at 20mg daily, then 10mgs and now cut myself down to 5mgs daily. And boy do I know it if I've misses a dose! But lately (as an ex RN) I've been thinking that it isnt normal NOT to have stomach acid and am so glad i've come across these talks. Make complete sense. So.... I"m going to my GP this week and let him know I want to get off the PPI and devise a plan together. He's new to me so I dont know how aware he is of these things but if he isnt now he soon will be!!!

Focus on eating foods high in fiber, dont overeat and dont drink after a meal. Try drinking mineral water with magnesium about an hour after a meal. Salt your meat so you can drink. Fish for fiber wherever you can. Try to blend your veggies into a cream soup and just swallow it. you should do fine with zucchini, pumpkin and carrit soup, then slowly add broccoli. Use a little bit of tumeric and ginger in your soups and on red meat but make sure it is cooked with it. Majoran and cumin should also help. Dont eat or drink 2 hours before sleep. Make sure you dont consume a lots of protein at night. If you feel like you ate something that irritated you, take 3-4 almonds immediately. You should always soak them overnight and then dry them out. Eat foods high in fiber, chew your food thoroughly and as soon as you feel full, stop eating.

I’ve been having acid reflux for a while and taking omeprazol I am off then and suddenly I had a sharp pain right side of the stomach I went to the ER and they didn’t find why they didn’t even give me something for the pain and no answer so because I was really concerned I started google anything related to my pain and find out that because I don’t have gallbladder the pain and all the symptoms are related because I don’t the bile, I am going to try bile salts to see if that help me. I never thought that I have to become my own dr because I don’t find a dr who really listened and want to help and is my life and I care about me and my health

[@SuperZimpatico]

Me too, I’m scared to go to the doctor, I been taking nexium for nearly 20 year , but all the doctors never ask me how I feel, the only thing good about this, is that the nexium it’s only 20 mg , but now I’m my only doctor myself, I take a lots of vitamins along with curcumin, apple cider vinegar, and one that you are not believe, cayenne pepper, yes cayenne pepper heals so much 1/4 teaspoon with 2 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar in a glass of water, I could have a little honey , but I don’t eat any sugar, I am doing keto diet, and all of this changes seems to work , next is going to be getting out of the nexium, but have to be very careful otherwise I will suffering withdrawals from the reflux with vengeance. Ok I hope this help you a bit. And I hope you understand my writing in English because it’s my second language, my first it’s Spanish. Good luck 🤞

Loking for doctors like you in England, i am sick of PPI’s taking since 2012. Tried many things nothing worked yet, no issues found in any tests. Any suggestions ?

[@alibongo5873]

There is a FP near Norwich, Innate Centre, haven't been yet as quite expensive but considering it. Tried Fast Tract diet and carnivore diet asbit works for many people but my body doesn't cope well with high fat as have GB issues and seem to still need carbs... frustrating

[@alibongo5873]

Its a shame here in the UK functional doctors are hard to come by and out of most people's reach duw to cost. Videos like these help us try to be our own FM doctor and work out what's wrong. Feels like you're stabbing around in the dark and takes forever but hopefully will get there eventually 😕

[@arlenegojocco7518]

Same here in Canada! 😢

[@jellytot9838]

I’m in the uk and after 20 years of PPI with a HH I’ve come off and done it myself. I was put on ppi at 23 when let’s just say I was a whiskey lover. The symptoms it went on to cause are horrendous. Apple cider vinegar diluted in water twice a day afternoon and before bed works for me. People have handed over responsibility for their health to profit making scum bags. It’s not a one shoe fits all but you can all do it with research and patience 👍

[@lucyflowerpot]

Not to mention how expensive they are. Like thousands. Who has that kind of money.

I really enjoyed this podcast. I am just like the example your guest talked about. On all the same meds. My GP gave me all these meds. I already have changed my diet. Still, I just started another antacid over the counter in addition to pantoprazole that I've been taking for years. I would really to get off the meds.

Doctors these days are doing what they are trained to do do…..but not what they are supposed to do….that’s the saddest part….but doctors like you are absolutely rare to be seen these days…..you are amazing sir…..but I feel sad that you are not in my country…..

[@kathywolfe2517]

What about osteoporosis? you know the stuff they have me on-the side effect is it can deplete in the blood calcium. They already had to change the PPI because of it and I think they monitor my thyroid to for good measure. I feel like an experiment. A few years ago, after a iridology reading, a lady at a natural health product store saw my stroke damage-but she got what I needed to get well again after months of tests and no definitive conclusion. I had lost 40 pounds and could not digest anything without diarrhea or vomiting for about 6 months right after eating. The bone diagnosis came after this. Now I'm in PT trying to get my back straightened out again. I just want as normal a life as I can. I am going to try better with the food's thing, coffee, tea and chocolate, that will be a hard one to conquer-but if I can eliminate a medication, the better for it.

[@tomski2671]

Proton Pump Inhibitors frequently cause fungal infections as well. PS If I were to guess, I'm sure low stomach acid would increase the incidence of parasites.

[@AnnaPinguin]

excellent , the problem is that they are so expensive!!!!!

[@goshawkish]

so would you recommend taking acid blocking meds with antibiotics for treating H.pylori or just take the antibiotics?

[@Bubbleigh]

I'm disappointed to learn that you aren't accepting new clients at the moment! I had very strange and awful symptoms after my first endoscopy last week, and I'm 23. I couldn't breathe, my esophagus and chest hurt constantly, I struggled to drink water for days. Not to mention I have GERD, and I am on prescribed omeprazole. Tried to stop it and I had severe bile vomiting for days. I think I might have bacteria growth from my medication. Getting tested soon hopefully. This has been terrible

[@RanjanaRoy111]

How are you now? , I'm 23 too and diagnosed with GERD , I'm on ppIS ..... Even after medication, I'm having chest burn .

[@philg3687]

I been taken PPI for more then 15 years I started drinking this product called (Lilly of the desert stomach formula) I am not taken PPI anymore hopefully it stays that way.

[@fadihamdan835]

How are you now?

[@shenandoah1322]

I never had a problem with acid reflux until I started taking Zopiclone for insomnia. I was already on an antidepressant. Then I got diagnosed with bipolar disorder and started taking Seroquel, and then the avalanche of psychotropic drugs began. My GP prescribed rabeprazole, and when that stopped working, he started me on omeprazole. When I moved to a different province that was not covered by pharmacare, so then I started taking Zantac, but I had to keep increasing that too. Then Zantac got taken off the market and I started taking Nexium. Same deal. Now I take 3 Nexium capsules a day and that's not enough. Almost 3 years ago I fell at work and I broke my kneecap and shattered my tibial plateau. I'm pretty sure I have osteoporosis, but I also don't want to get esophageal cancer. So I really don't know what to do.

[@jeffreyd508]

Can psyllium husk (active ingredient in metamucil) cause gerds? I feel it gave me gerds as its the only new thing in my diet that I started 6 weeks ago. I stopped it a week ago, but symptoms persist

[@kellyofthehead]

I could really do with a functional doctor here in the UK if anyone knows of one! Currently working my way through all the GORD videos as I absolutely don't want to go back on PPIS and I'm suffering.

[@alibongo5873]

There is one near Norwich, Innate Centre, Roger Wood, he is a functional health practitioner and chiropractor rather than doctor. I haven't visited him yet but am thinking about it. Costs £400 for initial 60-90 minute consultation.

I wish I was able to find a doctor like you guys, got diagnosed with h.pylori mid September and was not told about PPIs causing rebound reflux so I took the triple therapy and when I quit I got rebound reflux, it has gotten better but I've been doing my own research on how to calm symptoms without taking antiacids or PPIs...

[@BeingBetter]

My husband is having similar issues now. I gave him kudzu root capsules, it seems to be helping.

[@xishimin]

Same here. I was given Nexium to prevent stomach ulcer while I was on pain medication. I’ve developed a stomach ache and reflux. It lasted over a year. I want to see a doctor when I was tested positive for H. pylori. During the second round of antibiotics, they had me take another ppl medication. It was even worse. I had a stomach and abdominal pain and bloating. I struggled to finish seven days course of the medication. It have been in the few months. I still have a sour taste. I’m looking for solutions right now。

[@denisemartin3603]

I thought it was easily treated with antibiotics?

[@do0m341]

@@denisemartin3603 Most of the time it is, but some of us aren't that lucky, unfortunately my stomach issues stem from too many rounds of antibiotics prior to taking the ones for H.Pylori. If you take so many antibiotics it ruins your gut biome and then you have to build it back up.

[@namagembe67]

​@denisemartin3603 that is what they say. I had treatment in January still bed bound with severe reflux from the treatment. I now have Gord so bad, I have lost 20kg

I listened to Dr Jonathan Above and Dr Jamie Koufman. They say it's the pepsin that's bound to our respiratory system that causes the damage. So here and many other functional doctors recommend acv. I'm quite confused now...🤔

Severe reflux can irritate and inflame the opening of the eustasian tube in the back of the nose/throat. A blocked eustasian tube can cause vertigo and balance disturbances.

My Kaiser nutritionist isn’t promoting ensure but she is telling me to eat intuitively after I told her I have severe issues with sugar. Like I used to hide sweets and gorge on a whole bag of dried mangoes. I said I just wouldn’t eat cake and I wouldn’t partake in mangoes because I can’t control myself. She told me that’s ‘dieting’ and that’s bad. I’m sure intuitive eating works for some people but not people who are coming from a place of addiction. I was disappointed that even after I expressed I didn’t like the idea she still pushed it. Guess Kaiser only has one solution for the majority.

A little more then a year ago I didn't experience heartburn at all, but I was coughing, had a sore throat and a feeling that's was something stuck in my throat, so I thought I it was just a cold... So one time I ate alot before bed and I woke up because I couldn't breath, because there was a build up in my throat... (I didn't know at the time ) That scared the shit out of me... Went to A&E and they couldn't figure out what was wrong with me. Eventually my GP prescribed me PPIS, they didn't really help.. I had to figure out by myself that I had low acid due to stress..
