The Fastest Way To Rid HEARTBURN, GERD and ACID REFLUX

[@quackersplatfarm]

Heartburn in college changed my life too. I ate bottles of antacids and was prescribed nexium, and the doctor wanted me on anxiety pills too. After 2 more years of suffering I decided to try acupuncture. We chatted about food and unlike my "regular" doctors, the acupuncturist supported me trying a food elimination diet. 20 years later... I live on a farm and grow all my own veg, fruit, meat and herbal remedies. Heartburn set my life on a completely different course.

Did acupuncture help you in any way? And how? I had a bad experience with it.

[@linaazmiin7479]

@@joepearlzz8504 acupunture can help some ppl sometimes it takes more than one session , everyone is different some accupunture are better , ( I didnt try acupunture for heart burn ) but he gave me some tea,( it helped the tea) he told me what to eat and not. what helped me my. heart burn was dr beerg advice on taking acv before meals *( also licorish black candy with hot water helps alot ) I used to takes pills that used to makes it worse I had to stop bczz I. hated how it make my stomach feel sore, and weird . I try to find the alternative like lemon first thing in. morning taking it within 30 min with straw, or taking the licorish with hot water until it pass dont drink water 15 before meal or 30 min after

@@joepearlzz8504 it would only help me feel good for the rest of that day. Even he said it wasnt going to help much since apparently any acupuncture effects will not last long for the digestive track.

[@quackersplatfarm]

@@joepearlzz8504 I don't see my reply so I apologize if I'm repeating myself! So it helped but only for the same day that I had the acupuncture. The acupuncturist warned me that treatment for the digestive system is not long term and it would be better to figure out food triggers. That sucks it made things worse for you :(

Sharing notes from Dr Berg: Antacids only work for a short time, requiring you to take more and more to keep your symptoms at bay. Through prolonged use, antacids will only make heartburn worse by depleting your stomach acid. Antacids are associated with the following side effects: • Bloating • Indigestion • Allergies • Increased infection in the stomach • Depression Antacids create a condition known as achlorhydria, which depletes your stomach acid, but you need your stomach acid to get rid of heartburn. Your stomach is very acidic and should have a pH between 1 and 3. Enzymes cannot be activated if you do not have the right pH. Heartburn is not a problem resulting from too much acid-it's a valve problem. Keeping the pH of the stomach between 1 and 3 keeps the valve shut. How to get rid of heartburn naturally: 1. The most important nutrient to eliminate and prevent heartburn is vitamin B1 (thiamine). Your stomach can not produce acid when you’re deficient in vitamin B1. A diet high in carbs depletes B1. Low B1 deprives the autonomic nervous system, which controls the valves of the stomach. Look for a natural source of vitamin B1 to get rid of heartburn. 2. Potassium and zinc are very important for your stomach acid. Try a good electrolyte powder and trace mineral supplement to increase your intake of these important minerals. Also, make sure you’re getting plenty of sea salt. 3. Increase your stomach acid. This triggers the valve at the top of the stomach to close. Apple cider vinegar and betaine hydrochloride can help acidify the stomach It’s important to note that if apple cider vinegar or betaine hydrochloride causes burning, you may have gastritis or an ulcer. In this situation, you need to heal the stomach before taking apple cider vinegar or betaine hydrochloride. Thank you Dr Berg! 🐱👍

[@flinch622]

Its not quite bandaid on a stab wound territory, but definitely myopic. Stomach valving not functiong is kind of a mechanical problem. Treating the chemistry instead? Thats a bit of a disconnect.

[@Elon-r4x]

not a disco At All..... he sez that the valve is Triggered to be clOsed by the proper "Acidity", thus the chemistry approach, such as apple cider vinager. you should pay full attention b4 you criticize his good advise, with your own faulty approach

I had been diagnosed GERD in 2004 and the Dr prescribed antacids. From that point, I really can't get rid of them until three months ago. It has been over 20 years I used antacids. Three months ago, I was suffering from Fissure and hemorrhoids. When I was searching videos related to this, accidentally I saw a video of Dr. Berg and started taking ACV 2 tsp in the morning after food.

Which surgery precisely?

[@LuisHernandez-pr7rj]

Surgery is not a guarantee...I know so many people in trouble. This is the problem with missinformation, not everyone id the same. For some people all these things work, for others, surgery works. I know lots of people who did surgery and they wished they never did it. Everyone is different, research your issue and find your solution well.

[@ljxk3l31]

He literally said in the video if there’s pain it’s a different issue

[@Tomielena]

Missinformation here, i had a hiatal hernia and my gastro told me that everything can be corrected with diet exercising your diagphram and eating well. Also gluten/ bread was one of the biggest trigger food I discovered I had. After 2 months, no more acid reflux, I am free from it, my stomach is healed and I can sleep like a baby. Everything can be healed with change of lifestyle, it can be diet, healing an ulcer, cutting of intelorance food like dairy or gluten, having tests for celiac disease. Consider this before getting a surgery because some doctor will just want you to get the surgery to hide the problem but after, they wont tell you why you have GERD which is not normal in the first place. For severe hernia where your stomach is literally popping out of your tummy, surgery is necessary. But the rest of the time, no. Your body can heal from a lot of things with a good lifestyle and the correct tests ( aka gluten, dairy, food allergies, even sugar can cause the sphincter to stay open )

Thank you so much for all of your guidance on health Dr. Berg, especially heartburn. Last year, doctors destroyed me with the combination of H2 blockers and pantoprazole. I began to have strange symptoms such as SOB, dizziness, weakness, rapid hearbeat, insomnia. I couldn't eat vary my diet while I was taking these bc my gut would hurt and I mentioned this to my physicians, they told me they were not concerned with any of this causing my symptoms. They told me to keep taking the medications and that I was just anxious. I decided to go see a hematologist. My body wasn't holding iron and my B12 was very low. No other explanations except the medications. I started taking betaine hcl with my meals, increasing my red meat intake and seeing a holistic dr who encouraged colostrum. My heartburn is gone and I'm much better. Thank you again!

Slept well too. My allergies seem calmer too when I take Vitamin C. Apparently my GERD was caused by histamine activity.

I decided I probably had too much stomach acid and stopped taking hcl and acv. 2 years later and I still have reflux which is really affecting me. I took a supp for gastritis since a doctor found out I had gastritis and an ulcer. Which was what probably caused the stomach pain earlier. I could even feel the ulcer at times. My stomach is feeling better now and I just started taking hcl. 2x 650 mg to start with with food. So far no problems.

Heartburn and gastric issues is what set me on a different direction also!

I was prescribed an acid reducing medication. I asked, "just till I heal?", but the doctor said, no for life. Being scared of getting cancer I took it for a while, but had side affects like nausea, which I couldn't handle, so stopped taking it. I looked for alternatives and found a youtube video from a doctor (I can't remember who), who said the problem is not enough acid and his remedy was more salt and more calcium.

I can't remember which doctor, but it was on youtube and he said, as far as salt is concerned, do the opposite from what the medical industry has been saying for years, ie reduce salt - it will harden your arteries and give you a heart attack! The acid in your stomach is hydrochloric acid and 1 half of salt is the chloride side. As for calcium, I'm going from memory here, has something to do with the whole process of acid being excreted into the stomach.

Some additional tests (torture games the Dr's people blamed on insurance requirements), and they tell me my heartburn is severe (I tried to tell them that) and I also have a large hiatal hernia.

@alexlabra1562 tips for getting off PPI? Stubbornness. Lots of prayer. Sitting propped up with pillows at night until my back hurt worse than my belly. Avoiding triggers as much as possible. Also, otc pepcid. I started having heartburn when I was pregnant, and so skinny people would ask if I was anorexic. I was eating everything I could stuff in my mouth. Everyone assured me heartburn with pregnancy was normal. I was also working with my husband a lot and lifting way too much at times and would occasionally need to be checked for hernias in the groin area. First PPI was omeprazole. It helped for a while. Then dr increased the dose. Then switched to pantoprazole cause it was stronger. Then increased the dose of that. With age and weight gain that I blame on the drugs, I just kept getting worse. Started the surgery testing and haven't taken any PPI since. Triggers for me seem to be stress, lifting, and tomatoes. Eating small meals and refusing to play human forklift seem to help. I hope this helps some and wasn't too long winded!

That sounds a lot like my story. For years, I was just ignorant to what was going on with my health. Then a few yeas ago, I was getting tired of the acid reflux. So that eventually led me down a path to not only pay attention to my gut health. But find and realize all the other issues I was dealing with and not noticing all these years. I haven't fixed my situation, but the discipline I've built with caring about my health is on another level these days.

Dr. Eric Berg you are magician 💖 I'm dealing with this issue for a couple of months.. You always upload videos sooo relevant to me 😁 Thank you so much 😍 Value of your knowledge and information is just priceless 💖 Presious 💖

[@ms.hotdoglegs614]

Same! Over the summer I thought I was dying; my insides burning from the inside. I never thought it could be acid reflux and my doctor even said it was an active heart attack. Mind you this pain lasted for about 3 weeks. I got into YT and Dr. Berg video on GERD popped up and I ran to Whole Foods and bought everything he suggested. Within three days I was able to stand upright and go to work. I literally thought I was on my deathbed bc I was so sick. Dr Berg also helped me heal my anemia after suffering for so long with brain fog and fatigue. One thing I've noticed is that everything always revolves around b vitamin deficiency when it comes to my health so I have to be very aware not to miss a dose.

[@LilithAiCreations]

Hello Dr.Berg, thank you for all of the good service you do spreading effective knowledge to the public. I suffered from GERD for a year now. I took your word and bought Betaine HCI and use ACV. Problem solved over night. So my question is, since the lack of acid is the problem, does that mean go against advice to stay away from acidic foods like raw onions, garlic, tomatoes, spicy food, and caffeine etc.? Please let me know thank you Dr.Berg

Hi Dr Berg. I am currently taking Betain HCL to treat my gerd and was wondering if it is okay to also take Vitamin B1 while on Betain HCL, or wait till I get off Betain HCL before talking Vitamin B1?

I squeeze lemons and freeze in ice cube trays and as soon as I fee L the GERD, I start adding at least 4 large lemon ice cubes to water whether it’s filtered water or filters water that has been boiled.

[@Propane_Acccessories]

@@denisemartin3603 For me I am pretty sure the asthma was mainly being caused by GERD, which was caused by excess gas from an overgrowth of bacteria, which itself was probably caused by malabsorption of carbs. I have not confirmed this with any tests but it explains many things in my life.

[@christyvineyard4902]

Would you recommend skipping the coffee? And if so what are some alternatives?

[@Chris.Cubias]

Yeah. Coffee is bitter and it actually increases stomach acid BUT the caffeine in it weakens the spinchter so you’ll get the acid reflux either way.

[@Natasha26]

You forgot one side effect of antacids, liver disease. Apparently the liver loves an acidic medium just like the stomach. This medium kills certain bugs. But on antacids, the liver pH changes and now the bugs can thrive.

[@LevDarratOliveInducedPhsycosi]

YES this makes so much sense. I took vitamine B1 for something else. and I noticed Instantly a relief in my esophagus when i took the B1. Litterally in minutes

[@salvatoreferrara7067]

Hi, how much B1 dose did you take.?

[@LevDarratOliveInducedPhsycosi]

@@salvatoreferrara7067 Just a single pill a day. I personally took Thiamax, its imo the strongest. You may wanna burp instantly after, but that was a great thing for me since the Acid relfux caused me to have a feeling something was stuck in my esophagus and i couldnt burp. Other brands are ok to but thiamax imo is the best. Just follow the dosage on the bottle. Just 1 a day and you could even taper it and do one every other day when your sympthoms become less. Also A tip. Just watch at what you are eating for instance I use to eat store bought pancakes every morning and had relfux right after ALWAYS. Then I switched to making themmyself and ZERO acid reflux. But the Thiamine (B1) def helps Thiamax ftw

I have believed in what DrBerg has always said about this,however,I was taken ACV every day with evening meals, for months and months. Probably had silent reflux, I know l have a small hiatus hernia. Anyways, I don't know if my esophagus became inflamed, I started to have a problem , with my food not going down the pipe,so easily. and regurgitation. I stopped taking ACV , and took some Anticids. Seemed to heal and l am back to normal now after 3 months. I will not be taken ACV again. I am now on the fence about whether he is wrong about this. It's strange that the whole medical world still thinks it's too much stomach acid . I don't know what to believe anymore.

If you get sudden heartburn and usually you never had it. It could be a heart attack. Go to doctor immediately. My dad went to doctor and even the first doctor Sent him home. They didn't take tests.

I used to get severe heartburn, it was so painfull and nothing helped. I tried antacids, and they might work once, try something else might work once . Exercise it would help, but then, after a few times, it didn't work either. The only relief I got, and it could take up to 2 hours sometimes more, but usually an hour. What I did was drink water it would relieve the pain momentarily, but then the pain would come back with a vengeance. I would also experience pain in my teeth or gums and in my head, usually in the temples. After consuming a half to three quarters of a gallon of water and urinating, it would give some relief until I had expelled most of the water I had consumed. I tried Prylosec without much help. I then went to Nexium. It didn't help if I was experiencing hartburn. But taking it daily did work, though on occasion I would get hartburn. Now if I don't take it for a few days my esophagus swells up and I've had much difficulty swallowing, especially meat. It gets stuck in my throat. This is very perplexing when it happens. I can breath but my airway is restricted. I have to tilt my head back, and patiently wait until it slowly goes down my throat. I have tried to drink some water, but that does not help, it makes it worse as it cannot flow past the food and risks water going into my lungs. Thanks Dr. Burg, I will try these recommendations. Unfortunately, KZbin does not relay the comments made to my comments. I must have said something that didn't line up with their agenda.

[@pennylaur7687]

You may have a meat allergy. If you have ever been bitten by a tick I've heard of lots of ppl getting allergies to meat from that.

[@jewelbug8713]

Years ago I started experiencing difficulty swallowing (dysphagia) that became more pronounced over time. I began to have panic attacks due to choking on food, especially at night. I never suffered from reflux but may have had silent reflux or LPS without knowing. Long story short, I made a connection between caffeine and the 'Charlie horse' in my esophagus on the right side about mid chest. I discovered it by chance when deciding to drop all caffeine because I knew I was addicted to it. After a month, I went out to lunch and got a cola. The issue immediately came back. I waited a few days and tried coffee. Back again. Black tea . . . Same thing. Green tea was the only thing that didn't trigger it. It still happens to this day if I drink caffeine. I went 'Ketovore' in 2021 after a Lyme diagnosis. Surprisingly, my allergies and post nasal drip disappeared! Now I know the PND was really LPR/silent reflux. Oh, and I quit clearing my throat, something I attributed to the PND. I only learned about LPR in the last year. Sometimes an elimination diet can help determine the triggers, as I discovered by accident with the caffeine.
