How I cured my Acid Reflux and Helicobacter Pylori infection (without antibiotics)

[@robag555]

[UPDATE AUG 2024 - and answers to common questions] Great to see so many of you here have benefited from the tips offered in this vid, with some reporting massive long term improvements spanning two years! Am really glad for you all. Just be sure to inform and help others too - share this vid with them too. RECURRENCE OF REFLUX? Lots of you have asked how I've been getting on. My acid reflux symptoms are pretty much non-existent. I still follow most of the advice given in this vid, but allow myself a day or two here and there of eating whatever I feel like, but still almost totally avoid sugar, cheddar cheese, and if I do eat bread it's usually sourdough, which doesn't cause bad reactions for me. I have one or two reflux flare ups a year at most, each resolving within a day or two. And when I do have them they're not very bad. Just today I went out for a family meal - ate a very spicy Indian curry, overate actually as it's my birthday, and had no reflux from it at all. Years ago this would have guaranteed a major flare up that would take at least a week to recover from. OTHER HEALTH ISSUES & ADDITIONAL STOMACH HEALING TIPS On the other hand I did end up having two other major digestion related problems of a different kind and have resolved both of those, as well as resolving a longterm chronic sinus infection issue which was related to the digestion problems. In early 2023 I went through a phase of terrible chest pains and heart palpitations. Doctors could find no evidence of a heart condition. After an exhaustive effort on both my part and from doctors it turned out I had gotten a stomach ulcer and was getting gallstones (including stones in the liver and pancreas) all at the same time - extremely painful. The combo meant the symptoms were all over the place, but I tested consistently negative for h pylori. The ulcer seemed to have been brought on by antibiotics for my sinus infections and the gallstones appear to be just part of ageing, as I'm over 50 now. I sorted the ulcer out mostly by eating chicken bone broth (slow cooked for over 10 hrs) thanks to excellent advice from my girlfriend. Bone broth has amazing healing properties for the gut. I recommend you all give it a try. The gallstones I resolved by sticking more strictly to the dietary advice in this vid (I'd gotten quite lazy on this at the time), but also found a good quality magnesium supplement really helped break down the stones and is good for the heart too. Magnesium breaks down calcium stones and calcium in the walls of the arteries. Also useful for the gallstones was a combo of fasting and drinking lots of water to flush the stones out. They seem to flush out better when the organs aren't burdened with digestive activity. I hardly get the gallstones now. In fact fasting does wonders for the whole system - last month I did a four day stretch of nothing but water and it felt amazing (learn to do short fasts first of 14-18 hrs and build up from there). To my surprise my sleeping patterns were excellent while doing the long fasts - no grogginess inmorning and only needed 5-6 hrs sleep a night. The sinus infection thing was more of a challenge. My sinus biome was imbalanced because antibiotics had killed of most of the good bacteria, allowing a fungal infection to set in. For this I did a very strict candida diet for one month (zero sugar, carbs, starch, which also means no fruit at all) combined with using a lot of garlic and oregano oil to kill of the fungal infection. Within days the fungal infection massively reduced. But to prevent the fungal infection returning I searched high and low for a way to repopulate the sinus biome with good bacteria. The only product I could find for this was a little known product called Kimchi Powder (expensive, though Kimchi juice works too) thanks to a Japanese researcher whose family sufered chronic sinus problems. I used cotton buds to gently apply this inside the nostrils - only needed to do it three or four times. Combined with candida diet it seems to have fixed the problem and I've had no sinus infection flares ups for about six months. So overall that's three more health problems resolved! MASTIKA SOURCES AND DOSAGE For those asking which brand of Mastika I used it's this one www.amazon.co.uk/Mastika-250mg-Mastic-Gum-Capsules/dp/B002E2QNQ2 I don't know if the Mastic Gum works better. I did use it for a while but most of my symptoms had already been cleared up so wasn't a workable comparison. For those asking if they are safe to take mastika even if they don't have H Pylori - to my knowledge it's ok. I've found no science studies stating otherwise. It's also freely available over the counter without prescription and isn't just used for H Pylori.

Used to have massive chest pain which i would go to hospital thinking i was having a heart attack, reflux stress does weird stuff to your body, I have barrett's oesophagus and regular gastroscopy's, also had nissin fundoplication surgery which i feel saved my life. I avoided the PPI medication, long term usage apparently is not good! If you suffer from reflux/GERD, Rob's advice is really good, diet can have a huge effect. Other things i thought were ok but were not, peppermint anything (tea etc) and anything citric ( lemon lime oranges etc) but kicking alcohol,chocolate etc can be tough, also losing weight can make difference for some people, which is a great side effect of the diet changes he talks about. Best of luck to those suffering!

[@boe1956]

Hey! I experienced chest pain too, thought i was having a heart attack, didn't eat a full 4 days because couldn't take in even a teaspoon of water...my luck it was a long holiday weekend..and I didn't want to make more hospital bills lololol so I suffered it out till i could get to gastro doc that Tuesday. Anyway I have hiatal hernia and Barrett's, not sure now if it has progressed after endo 2 years ago, then he said it was beginning, but I talked my doc into letting me do another now in Sept 24, next week actually, instead of next year..because I have had extreme acid and severe inflammation in esophageal area i can actually feel the heat just touching the area. Crazy right! I am simply petrified to know if I progressed...ugh. So let me ask you, Nissin Fundoplication surgery, is that where they fix the hiatal hernia wrapping part of stomach around it. Was it painful after and was it a slow recovery or fairly fast? Also how long has it been now since u did it...if that is what u did? I heard the hernia surgery can fail and have to be redone...I guess because it gets messed up over time by acid...not real sure, but..my gastro doc isn't fond of that surgery, he said it has a lot of complications and they don't like doing it...well, hahah hate to tell him, but he won't be the one touching me for that surgery. Do u go to a special gastro doc for that, or a center, or did your regular gastro doctor do it? Thanks a bunch...!! And best wishes to you!! Hope to hear back from you.

[@doofushipster5440]

@@boe1956 Hey, Yes, the surgery is they wrap the stomach around the oesophagus, using some sort of clips to keep it in place, i also had a minor minor hernia which they fixed while doing the other procedure but i don't think the reflux was related to the hernia. its been 3 years since the operation not super painful, just sore for a few weeks, i think there was 5 incisions for key hole surgery about an inch long, the esophagus was tight to start with, having to chew food really well, small mouthfuls other wise food would get stuck/ eat over cooked vegetables so really soft but it does end up stretching allowing you to eat normally. I did read where people who have had the procedure have trouble throwing up/vomiting, i haven't had to try yet! I guess there's risk with any surgery but i was willing to take any risk to get it fixed, I was desperate.. my reflux is not completely gone, probably 90% better, and would have it done again tomorrow, I would say mine is successful. I'm in Australia so sounds like a different healthcare system to you, Sorry i can't remember the correct name for type of surgeon, certainly a specialist of sorts, i have gastroscopy every 2 years to keep an eye on the Barretts, making sure it doesn't have any changes, you're better knowing and keeping on top of it than leave it and get worse..... they say a lot of foods cause reflux, chocolate, alcohol, meat, peppermint, garlic etc look up a list and try and avoid those things if possible, eat smaller amounts, eat earlier at least 3 hours before you lay down, everything helps. best of luck..

Good advice Rob. To anyone suffering from acid reflux should definitely avoid PPI's. It is a misconception that you have too much acid....you actually don't have enough. When there isn't enough acid in the stomach, the esophageal sphincter becomes loose and that is what causes the reflux. Using a PPI (Proton Pump Inhibitor) eliminates what acid you do have and thus stops you from absorbing vitamins and minerals. Instead, use apple cider vinegar half an hour before you eat. 1 tablespoon in full glass of water and drink using a straw otherwise it will take the enamel off you teeth. Trust me this works. I used to suffer with both acid reflux and chronic burping. Both gone using ACV. If you still have reflux, try lowering the dose of the ACV to half a teaspoon or dilute it more.

[@nabeelal-azawi9223]

Rob You have done a magnificent job. Here there are few points to elucidate in physiology and anatomy of the esosophagus and stomach the abnormalities relevant to the discussiong around GERD. This is not a medical advice. Everybody should consult with their doctor. 1. Helicobacter Pylori is everywhere in our house hold it contaminate our dishes and utensils we eat with: solution use automatic dish washer on the steam mode would most likely kill helicobacters. This would reduce the chance of reinfection after being cured. 2. There could be a genetic factor of susceptibility in few families of us such as having wide and loose eosophegial sphincter with or without poor lining mucosa of the stomach (such as thin mucous lining of the stomach). 2. One question; why when we lay down, we get acid reflux for that some people tilt their bed high so they can sleep at night reduced acid reflex. For the same reason, you expressed eating smaller meals help reduce acid reflux. Answer: Perhaps, this would reduce the mechanical backward pressure on the esophageal sphincter from food build up in the stomach. There are few things to understand in the anatomy of the connection between the stomach and the esophagus. By design the sphincter muscle at the connection between the esophagus and stomach is a week sphincter. It is not a tight sphincter, if you compare it to the anal sphincter at the anus which is a very strong sphincter. For this reason, some people may benefit from surgeries that would be done to adjust the esophageal sphincter diameter. 3. There are few studies published the utility Mastica to ease stomach pain and suggestive of suppressing helecobacter in the stomach. You have noticed that during shewing Masitca gum, it is a little bitter ( meaning alkaline). There could other important active compounds in Mastica that need to be studied. 4. The use of Bicarbonate, Mastica, and alkaline vegetables help reduce acidity in the stomach and therefore less acid feedback to the esophagus and therefore more comfortable feeling. Contrary to this what happen if we eat tomato or pizza with tomato sauce. These acidic and accentuate GRD discomfort. 4. What about the concept of benefiting from using spices such as ginger, turmeric, and Curcumin, On the surface there could be an enhancement of the protective layer (the slimy lining of the stomach) of the stomach through a pathway yet to be identified. To my observation, folks from India start eating spices since childhood. So the question would be; do they have better and more resilient stomach. 5. Helicobacter strategy of survival in the lining of the stomach is to evade the aggressive and very acidic stomach juice ( which is about loaded with hydrochloric acid). It is a powerful killer of bacteria. So the helicobacter generate ammonia to make it more alkaline in the stomach lining so it would protect itself from being killed. This is the same natural mechanism the stomach lining protects itself with from self digestion by the acid present in the stomach. 6. Where is the caveat of using Clarithromycin, and metronidazole (both are antibiotics) together with a PPI such as omeprazole ( to protect from hyperacidity in the stomach and overflow to the esophagus). This is a very harsh treatment and it can be responsible for complete eradication of the beneficial bacteria in the guts. I am in doubt that probiotics would a reasonable compensatory normalization of the bacterial population in the gut. 7. So what is the solution? A. Should we invent a vaccine against helicobacter since half of the population of the world is infect with it. B. How we can the make the environment of the stomach hostile to helicobacter invasion of the lining of the stomach, and why helecobacter chooses the lining of the stomach to live in while living by hostile volcano of hydrochloric acid showering on it. Helecobacter do not invade other parts of the body. Why not?

Great video Rob! I recently was diagnosed with H. pylori and learned that it creates low stomach acid which then can cause acid reflux. I’m getting ready to grow my own broccoli sprouts as I understand those are very powerful against H. pylori. Also I found it incredibly helpful to stop drinking anything a half an hour before to a half an hour after meals (and not during). That way the stomach acid doesn’t get diluted. It’s helped a lot!

[@collativelearning]

Great. I've noticed brocolli has a very good effect on my stomach too. Yur point about not diluting stomach acid before eating is excellent. I hadn't even considered that. I think I habitually tend to drink about just meals, but might extend that to at least a half hour after so as not to interfere with digestion post-eating.

[@unstopitable]

Pretty amazing. Stomach acid, even if you vomit enough, chemically burns/irritates the tissue it comes in contact as it's rising up. My acid reflux mysteriously went away (for now), but I remember the first time I was awakened by it in the middle of the night--it was this intense burning trying, as if I'd swallowed battery acid, and it was coming up almost pressurized. I'm going to remember the mastika if it comes back. What surprised me wasn't just the burning, it was how forceful it was pushing up.

Acid reflux most likely means low stomach acid. H-pylori lowers or alkaline acid in your stomach to survived. Apple Cider Vinegar mix with water, Betaine HCL, enzymes will help. Besides you need a clean diet, herbs and supplements for h-pylori

[@brottochstraff]

Be careful with this. I tried Apple Cider Vinegar for a few days and it made my acid reflux 10x worse.

Spicy food indeed helps the immune system!

When my mum first got her nurse practitioner's license, she had an elderly woman with multiple allergies to medicines come to her with a sinus infection so her prescription was to "go home and eat some of the spiciest green chile stew you can find." It worked! I don't have acid reflux, though my partner does. Apparently his isn't nearly as bad as yours was, though he recognized most of the things you talked about and has already tried some of your suggestions.

Very helpful vid...I wish I had discovered it two years ago. Mastica was just ordered for a try. Now I just cured the problem recently by identifying the triggers as you did. Indeed top of the list was pizza and pastry crusts. Time of the last meal was also a factor so I started a routine of eating my last meal before 5 pm with 50/50 results. Alcohol was another suspect so here is what I did. I went on the 16 hour fast routine for two months. Making your first and last meals between the hours of 7 am and 3 pm. Dropped alcohol completely. The results were several. The weight loss was significant and the overall feeling of well being grew as the days past. The stomach issues and re flux also disappeared. Now as long as I stayed with that program I experienced no issues. I loved the routine however not all family members enjoyed it so I fell back into the same rut and bingo the re flux returned. So now I will heed your information here and give this a try. Thank you so much for your research.

[@blorpymcnornor2415]

I had nasty reflux a few years back with chest pain. I’d be vomiting stomach acid in the middle of the night. It would be set off especially by hard alcohol, white flour products, oranges, and tomato paste. I got rid of it mainly by cutting out any refined grains, sugars, most processed foods, as well as losing 30 pounds. I find whole flour is fine. I believe part of having a healthy gut is eating high fibre foods generally, which can include whole grains. Fibre acts as a “prebiotic”, meaning that it provides food for your healthy gut bacteria to eat, which helps ward off bad bacteria. My 2 cents anyway.

I've watched quite a few videos about this topic and they just stress me out. They either promise quick fixes, scare the hell out of me, or give me vertigo with all the freaking editing. I feel like you a nice neighbor or cousin just telling me some great advice. I feel so comforted! I'd love to know how you are doing now and if you still live free of acid reflux for the most part. Oh and that last part - holy merde I always drink my drinks super hot and eat food before it has cooled! I have been chewing more and eating more slowly lately but now I will be more mindful of those hot drinks (only tea these days while I heal) and also COLD is a problem! I notice a huge difference when I try to use cold water to take a pill - it literally doesn't work and the pill gets stuck - especially since my esophagus is inflamed and the peristalsis is all out of whack. Oh - and I am remembering times when I had pain in my esophagus from eating too fast, and a HUGE lump of food trying to go down, to where I actually felt it hurting my spine. Oh lord. Thanks so much!

[@yoswayd5520]

I’ve always struggled with acid reflux and stomach ulcers, even when I was a teenager, and I have always eaten very quickly. It does make sense that lowering portions will reduce acid reflux, and I have had success with calorie restriction and some fasting. If you think about the entrance to the stomach as any other sphincter, then you realize that by eating huge portions you’re just stretching it out allowing stomach acid and gas to escape.

[@yoswayd5520]

Also I had to use omeprazole for my ulcers, but nobody should take it long term because it can cause digestion issues and vitamin deficiencies, Rob is right to want to sort things out without the pills

I've been receiving treatment for a very similar issue for almost a year. No sleep, as when I lie down all I do is cough. Currently only thing that has remedied this is an anti inflammatory inhaler, but as soon as I came off it, back to square one, so doc put me immediately back on it. This is some interesting info Rob, which I'm gonna investigate more, (with advice from medical professionals, as suggested 😀)thank you for sharing your experience good sir.

[@wendychavez5348]

Until you get the symptoms to ease off, you might try sleeping in a recliner or a wing back chair. I had to do that when I dislocated my shoulder, and it's surprisingly comfortable once you get past the mindset that sleep must be done while lying down.

Hello from Greece. mastiha comes from the island of Hios and it is the resin of the tree. Here it is sold everywhere ,in the supermarkets , in kiosks on the street. I tried both gum and pills. It does help definitely ..But to me the most it helped is the carnivore diet. I am on it since 3 weeks ,and the acid reflux is over, but still have flair ups. The advice to keep for few months the diet and not hurry going back to previous eating habits is great. I don’t want to stay on carnivore diet alll my life, but it is a great diet! You lose wait as well and you are really never hungry!!! Thank you

I found your channel because of your Exorcist analysis...and then ironically found you talking about reflux which a problem I've had for about 3 to 4 years. After fixing it with nexium for a good while...it started to reverse the effects because I took it TOO LONG... and it even cause my hair to fall out and some vitamin deficiencies. I got so annoyed about 3 months ago after years of this shit...that I finally tried apple cider vinegar. And after a few days...I've can finally say I've had up to 3 weeks with NO symptoms. Plus I cut carbonated drinks out of my diet. And that's about it. Now I had a stressful day...and it slightly caused it to come back. So I do have to watch my anxiety levels plus drinking water with food...that's a huge thing that makes me sick. But the apple cider vinegar and probiotics helped me alot. I still get it from time to time but I went nearly 3 weeks straight perfect without incident. I'm getting to know myself better and what causes my flare ups

[@Eryri_Hideaway]

Thank you so much for this video 💚 I badly injured my foot during lockdown and was taking large amounts of ibrufen, I ended up with 2 stomach ulcers! I was tested for H pylori but at that time they were waiting to test in bulk so by the time they got around to testing mine the test came back as inconclusive. I was prescribed PPI but the side affects are horrific! Please read up on side affects !!! I treated my stomach ulcers with L. glutamine, cabbage water and organic liquorice root. I still have flair ups and I'm convinced I have H. pylori so I'm definitely going to buy Mastik gum. 🙏🏻

[@Kammy12-k2s]

Hi Rob Thank you for this information, I also did the same Mastic Gum brilliant result I took it for 2 months as nothing else worked. I had a good year then gastritis started again Yet again Mastic Gum was my best friend and changing diet ,eliminated sugars, wheat ,I don't drink , I drank lots of water , Wheat ,rice ,oats,Barley ,have glutens which cause the stomach to flare up. Inflammation in the stomach definitely works if you cut them out . Cutting acidic food is good.Wild rice is good. Veggies,sweet potatoes chicken, herbs excellent choices, thyme and coriander is good too.. it's true if you don't eat healthy it triggers off again. Drink your Luke water after your food, don't drink whilst eating drink after you have eaten Good luck all. Best wishes UK.

I agree with your protocol Rob. I too instinctively up’d the Mastic capsule dosage’s. My homemade protocol was 3 capsules of Mastic (1200mg) 4x’s a day, every 6 hrs. I added (3x’s daily) 8oz Liquorice root tea mixed with 1 TBS Physillum husks, 1 TBS rice bran polishing’s, 1 TBS Sunflower Lecithin Powder, 60 ml Aloe Vera liquid. I take this concoction 90 minutes after the Mastic I also believe in taking cabbage rejuvalac at least twice daily will benefit as well. You are absolutely right about how to eat your meals. Chew, Chew, Chew. Don’t talk during your meals either...Relax. I’ve had bloating issues for most of my life. The above recipe will be necessary for at least 4 months. During this whole time you will find very little desire for food...best to adopt a Keto plan, as you will live mostly off stored body fats which is a good thing. Good luck everyone

[@Reader-Copy]

I've been enjoying your videos for some time now, and was happy to find this one on your channel. My story is that I've been free of PPI reflux meds for 6 weeks now. I was prescribed Omeprazole (Prilosec) about 11 years ago for GERD symptoms, and finally weaned myself off gradually--cutting my daily capsules in half; then into thirds; then finally stopped (Learned about 5 years back that I have both Barrett's Esophagus and a Hiatal Hernia, so was nervous in doing so). Started cutting back on carbs and meal portions a couple of years back, and with the help of stationary cycling and walking, lost about 30 pounds. Just chewing each bite of food thoroughly has helped me greatly...eating smaller portions and not laying down too soon are also key in avoiding painful episodes. Not allowing myself to become ravenously hungry, it's easier to slow down and chew longer (which is great because the flavor of food is more noticeable the longer it lingers on my pallet, and eating is thus now more enjoyable). *When symptoms still occur they usually come at night , almost always while laying in bed--and usually after I've eaten poor food choices during the relatively inactive evening hours. I was urged against using typical ant-acids for treatment because they have aluminum. A 1/2 teaspoon of Baking Soda in 8oz of warm water, mixed thoroughly, was recommended instead. When occasional symptoms do flare up, I use this, and it produces effective relief of painful pressure by encouraging brief but deep burping; allows me to then sleep on pain-free. Thanks for sharing your testimony!

Hi Rob, I came across your video by pure chance and am going to give this a go. I've had gastritis for sometime now, confirmed by endoscopy years ago. The H. Pylori test done at the time of the endoscopy proved negative, but I'm not convinced it was accurate. I tried PPIs, but they didn't really help, so just rely on Gaviscon when it gets really bad.

Nice report. I have h pylori but with only a little amount of reflux which is controlled by omeprzole. But as a consequence of probably many years, my oesophagusis was damaged much as you suggest. It appears that reflux causes a change of the skin in the oesophagusis and makes it more likely to become caancerous. The disease is called Barretts oesophagusis which is treatable as an outpatient. I guess that if you have had an endoscopy any damage would have been reported but i would ask about that
