First time I’ve heard vagus nerve hypersensitivity due to hyper vigilance from anxiety, viral infections affecting gi motility, and microbiome shifts due to antibiotics -all creating reflux…super informative thank you for educating us because my GI doc never talked about this!!

I got the ‘vid and it led to the 100 day cough. Then a bunch of throat clearing. Pretty sure I had Post Viral Vagal Neuropathy. It eventually led to this LPR I have now. I ate whole food diet but had to reduce caffeine (coffee) and weekend alcohol. Trying to find a doctor to help treat this is hard. Doing a 20 minute video with this expert is a crime. I’ve seen and heard her a couple other places go on for an hour with awesome information.

I've had GERD symptoms everyday since 2022. I had the upper endoscopy(perfectly fine).I've changed my eating habits since. I avoid citrus, dairy, fried foods, sodas, juice, caffeine, I'm super active/work out daily etc. I do have severe anxiety and I've improved drastically. It's been stressful, but I'm glad I discovered this channel.

Do you still have symptoms? How long since you've changed your lifestyle does it take for symptoms to go away complitely?

@TheAnimalguy1996 6 ай бұрын

@@b.w.98 I still get symptoms occasionally, but for the most part I feel normal. It's hard to stick with a strick diet, but it's for the best. I've always been active; working out, so I knew the predominant cause was my anxiety. I eat clean throughout the week, no sugar, citris, or foods with acid. Avoiding processed foods and eating more home cooked meals and snacks, and enjoy myself on the weekends. Also, I use slippery elm extract, and Marshmallow extract to help.

The job of acid is to digest food ... and that is so important .... blocking acid means blocking health ... it is the job of bile from gall bladder to neutralize acid .... So why is no one talking about bile .... and gall stones which block bile ....

I went completely whole food plant based in June of last year. I started with an herbal detox for a month. By the end of this detox I was dealing with LPR symptoms and have been ever since despite elevation of head, avoid acid foods, spicy,keeping up right after meals. Not drinking coffee, smoking or any other lifestyle issues that contribute. Have lost 15/20 pounds going plant based. During the detox I did have an orange slice most days to assist with the taste of the herbal teas. I also had lemon and lime in my plant based recipes. I immediately stopped the citrus once I found you guys and at the end of the month long detox. I try to not exercise where I’m applying lots of abdominal pressure. I have used Gaviscon. I currently use reflux raft. I have eased up on the acidic foods and began to incorporate things like cooked onions. Of course we had the holidays and not always sure what was in food. But I’ve been mostly adherent to the lifestyle changes. I’ve begun to try to thoroughly chew my foods in smaller amounts more recent. Any thoughts?

Go on cabbage juice it's wonderful for acide reflux,gerd,gastritis and any stomach issues. Work more efficiently than omeprazole or acide bloker. Do your research and its backup by science😊

@samuelfilardi7533 9 ай бұрын

You should see a really good GI, bc some problems are not solved by changing lifestyle or anything you mentioned. Find the root cause and solve it.

@brianpratt6988 7 ай бұрын

Sounds like you are doing most of it right. According to Dr. Jamie Kauffman,LPR expert, she says number one thing is eat a small, early dinner. At least 3-4 hours before bedtime. Then, no alcohol late at night. Big late dinner with alcohol equals perfect storm.

I'm not even sure what we're supposed to do. Many of us can't work. So we can't afford testing. Once we find "root cause" what do we do from there? I feel like a tiny percentage of people who have lpr actually get better. I literally eat a balanced diet and have only drank water for the last two years and I still have trouble breathing.

Thank you so much for this!!! This is extremely helpful! The only cause I have heard about that I didn't see mentioned was that low acid in the stomach can also cause reflux. Is that completely separate? How would you know if you have one or the other?

I am finally free from bad breath and white tongue and acid reflux after using your herbal medicine I was completely free from this problem. I'm glad there are people like you who simply want to help other people struggling with the same problems. Your words gave me the courage I needed to hear today to know that it is okay. I can still be myself and now enjoy my life like I’m supposed to. I am blessed to have found you, Dr. Emovon, on KZbin…🦷🦷🦷🦷

They said I had GERD two months ago I had chest pain. put me on PPI & finally now they are saying I could have H. Pylori & are now going to run more test but before testing they want me on sucarafate. I don’t like taking medication. I like going natural route. This has been a hard thing to go through. I’ve changed my diet completely. I’ve lost 25 lbs. I believe the ppi is also causing a lot more symptoms so I asked for a lower dose. 😪 I asked if I could take any other supplements because I wanted to start on slippery elm & licorice root but she doesn’t want me to take any right now. 😔

Just take what you believe is best for you. Doctors are more into pushing pills. I started PPI yesterday and my side is already feeling sore. I was on PPI in January to March for Hpyroli, my kidney function went down
