Hello & welcome! I’m so glad you’re here.
My Story.
When I was an undergrad nutrition student at Boston University, my digestive health issues were at their worst. I remember standing in the grocery store re-reading the label on a box of crackers, filled with overwhelm and confusion. I felt totally lost as to what to eat or how to eat due to my digestive issues. After dozens of doctor appointments, ER visits, and medical tests, my anxiety was at an all-time high and my list of “safe foods” was dwindling every day. When my doctors were at a loss for advice and my condition was not improving - I knew I needed to take my healing into my own hands. When I finally realized that my mind and gut were connected - everything changed. I prioritized self-care and mindfulness practices in order to pull myself out of constant “fight or flight mode”. Instead of restricting, I started nourishing my gut and living my life again. Much to my surprise, my digestive system responded and began to heal. Through the power of individualized nutrition and lifestyle changes, my health (and my life) transformed. Fast forward to today - I’m a Gut Health Registered Dietitian and recovered from severe IBS/GERD. My approach to nutrition counseling is rooted in science and built on the foundation that everyone has unique nutrition and lifestyle needs. It’s my mission (and greatest joy) to help you discover your root causes of imbalance, and share with you evidence-based, integrative wellness tools - so you too can heal your gut, repair your relationship with food, and live your absolute best life.

always consult your doctor before going off of medication / starting a supplement!! i hope this video helps those of you who are struggling with AR! be sure to leave me a comment, I will be sure to respond to any questions or requests! x
Thank you this video really helped.can please tell me the name of natural herbs that helped you .thank you
My acid reflux is really bad .i will try all things you metion thank you .
@@Love-lo1gw hi there! definitely chat with your doctor before trying any supplements ❤️ thank you so much for your support and i’m so glad this video was helpful for you!!
@@Love-lo1gw did it help you?
@@MollyPelletierRD hi there Molly, thank you for sharing this information with us. May i ask of the 2 capsules per supplement was it recommended to you by your doctor or you just decided to take 2 capsules? Also is your licorice root a DGL or its plain licorice root. According to an article I've read, consuming licorice root on a long term basis has a negative effects in your health such as hypertension, decrease in Potassium and retention of sodium in the body. That's why its safer to consume DGL Licorice. Your comments is highly appreciated. Thanks!
Plus Inner leaf aloe juice; zinc carnosine (people with reflux NEED this. I use brand called Doctor’s Best), mastic gum. Those plus the slippery elm and DGL all work. I healed it for years. Then a big bout of ongoing stress/depression cause it to come back, plus ulcer & eczema. I believe I knocked my gut out of balance with my emotions & thoughts, which made me susceptible to these issues. Whole-self support is necessary, I believe, to really heal. Feeling safe in the world, trusting life / trusting myself / replacing acidic thinking with a more peaceful focus…These are so important along with dietary and supplemental support. ❤️❤️❤️
I've had the worst reflux, nausea, and indigestion for half a year from birth control and just wanted to say that this video (+ slippery elm) SAVED ME. I truly, truly, truly can't thank you enough!
How are you now? Are you able to eat your regular foods again like the ones you shouldn't eat, i.e. chocolate, coffee, pizza?
YAY! thank you for being here! i will be announcing some exciting Acid Reflux courses/offerings this winter so stay tuned! xo be sure to subscribe to my newsletter for updates - mailchi.mp/1285479c1480/recipesandmore
did you stop using the pill?
What is slippery elm and what is it good for. Thankyou for any reply.
Can you pls tell if the gerd stops after taking slippery elm and how long you took it to stop acid reflux??
I've been on medication for almost 3 years. I watched your video about taking slippery elm and started taking it about 3 weeks ago and I've been able to completely transition off my medication. Wow I am totally shook! Thank you for your help and sharing your story! Truly an answer to prayer.
i’m so glad my videos were helpful to you! this is why i make them ❤️❤️ i also share lots of recipes for gerd on my IG! @zucchini.who
How are you feeling now? Still on the slippery elm?
I took slippery elm. It helped me to ease my symptoms. But one day i took after my dinner. Say 7.00 pm i had my dinner and took it around 8.15 pm. I developed indigestion and gas. Can you please tell me should we take slippery elm after complete digestion of food or will it interfere with digestion.
This is awesome I love hearing stuff like this
Slippery elm did not work for me and actually made my GERD worse
5:15 when you said you had no symptoms with a smile. I felt that ☺️. Aww I’m so happy for you. x
aww this is so sweet! acid reflux was a huge struggle for me for years so it definitely feels good to be free of it! i do have a flare up very occasionally but the symptoms are not at all as bad as i used to experience!
*What is the Gospel?*
The true gospel is the good news that God saves sinners. Man is by nature sinful and separated from God with no hope of remedying that situation. But God, by His power, provided the means of man’s redemption in the death, burial, and resurrection of the Savior, Jesus Christ.
Ephesians 2:8-9
For it is by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of GOD, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.
Romans 10:9
9 because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
JESUS CHRIST can come anytime!
Just Believe ❤️ Love you and GOD BLESS
Thank you so much for sharing this information. I have recently been diagnosed with silent reflux and I can’t wait to try some of your tips. I will be a frequent watcher on this channel! 💕 I’m going follow you on Instagram as well! The recipes are something I’m very interested in. I’m from the south and we heavily season our food which I love so finding something tasty and easy that won’t trigger symptoms is something I’m looking for!

You are a blessing !! Thank you so much for this information! ❤️
You are so welcome!! Thank you for your support!
cutting coffee on an empty stomach DEFINITELY improved my acid reflux!!!
the difference was impressive!! so glad i made the switch
same here 😊
Thank you for the tip.
@@MollyPelletierRD are u still drink a coffee?
@MollyPelletier I had my first acid reflux/heartburn flare up last weekend. I had went to the doctors and the first thing they did was give me PPI's through the IV....that made it worse. Luckily, I started looking into these natural remedies early on and have made an appointment with a naturopath who specializes in Gut health so I'm excited. Thank you for sharing your story! I can't wait to do the same one day! (:
God Bless you.
i hope you feel better asap!
I'm so happy I found you, I had lost hope. But there is still hope. I've been dealing with this crazy acid reflux everyday this month. I really wanna try the recommendations you mentioned!! I also downloaded your app 😊
I’m so glad you found me!! Welcome to Flora! I hope you love it! 😍😍
You were really clear and informative about your experience. I can relate to this because I am struggling with GERD. My symptoms are heartburn on the chest and back and it feels horrible. I took Nexium for 2 months and after that I feel better and stop the PPI. Then I was fine for 9 months and I started with symptoms again. I went back on Nexium for a month and then I was fine again for another 8 months. The problem is that the symptoms came back after time. Is so frustrating and gave me anxiety and some kind of depression because is so annoying to feel bad everyday. Control your diet, be patient, be positive, and understand your disease is the key to feel better. It takes time but little by little you will feel good again.
I am so glad you found this video helpful. and I'm so sorry you dealt with GERD - it is the worst! totally agree with your points here. thanks for sharing!

Thank you so much for sharing this information!! I appreciate your very detailed yet concise delivery. I have been on a GERD friendly diet for 3 months and still having symptoms and I am desperate to find a natural cure, so I am so grateful I found this video. Thanks again.
i hope you feel better soon 🤍
Any update?
Have your symptoms decreased??
Oh my gosh I love NOW products. It might sound weird but water after I haven't drank in awhile gives me the most heartburn it's crazy.
yes NOW is a great affordable brand! that’s interesting hmm! i would def bring it up to your doctor!
Very helpful advice, much appreciated.
so glad ❤️❤️❤️
Absolutely Amazing! I’m so glad I just came across your channel. I will definitely try this today and I’m glad I actually have a health store right around the corner from my house that actually sells this (Now Brand). I’ll check back with you in a couple of weeks and let you know how everything is going. Thanks 🙏🏻 Again. Lol Robert
🤍🤍🤍
Thank you so much for this video, I have had acid reflux and been really poorly for 3 years and I’m struggling with eating and I just don’t know what to do. Doctors aren’t listening to me or wanting to help me they are trying to tell me it’s anxiety but I know my own body. I’m just drained
That's another struggle. 😥

Thank you so much I would try the supplements. What fruit drinks I can have.
Nice one
I have gerd too 2 weeks without symptoms for now ,, i will buy those 😊 thank u
So glad I came across your channel. As a GERD and gastritis sufferer, this was very helpful. I'll try the slippery elm capsules to see if they help!! Thanks for the recs!
licorice root has helped me so much too! xo
are you feeling any better?
Guilherme Antunes I am actually. Slippery elm has been amazing for acid reflux.
@@marmasana any updates?
I’m going to try the slippery elm! I’ve had GERD for about 3 years now and currently recovering from a very bad flare up that happened 3 days. I’ve been drinking ALOT of water and working out at least 30 minutes per day. I’m on the BRAT diet now but once things calm I hope to try this and implement it into my routine. Thank you for the information!!

How are you now??
Hey how are you now I’m experiencing the same thing?!
Thank you very much for this !
Thank you very much ! I don't smoke and don't drink alochohol still suffering from GERD ! can't drink coffee it's worse feeling ever ! however I thought since my weight is 78 ( 5 7' height) kind of obese , i am suffering from that ! but looks like that's not the case ! you look thin ! One thing I experienced was going on keto diet helps a lot !
interesting! everyone is different!
Thank you soooo much for this video! You have no idea how helpful it is because it feels like I have some hope. I don’t have medication yet but would you recommend I take it before taking the supplement or could I just buy the supplements first?
so glad this was helpful! good question, it depends on your symptoms and history! i would ask your doc that question!
Thanks molly all the best
Great tips Molly! I will be trying these. My reflux is quite mild, however I think the inability to consistently breath deeply plus consistent burping are annoying symptoms.
I was also diagnosed with EoE at the same time, so currently on the 2 food elimination diet to find my trigger foods :D Hopefully it's not all of them haha
i just started getting gerd. i wake up in a blind terror every single night from acid reflux. still exploring diet and trigger foods but it's so hard to know what is triggering and what is my anxiety which has always been bad but is now just through the roof all the time. thank you for this video, i'm definitely gonna try slippery elm.
I’m so sorry to hear you are struggling with these symptoms. Did the slippery elm help?
thank you very much for this!! soooo helpful!! i will try these supplements!
You're so welcome!
Hi Molly. Thank you for this information. The directions on the Slippery Elm 400 mg is to take 2 capsules 1-3 times daily. Did you only take 2 capsules in the morning with 1 glass of water and that worked?
I have been suffering from acid reflux on and off for a year now. My doctor always recommended I take PPIs or Famotidine. Initially, PPIs work pretty well and I have no symptoms after taking 2 weeks and lasting about 8 months, but then it came back again. I want to remove PPI from my diet as it does give you lots of side effects when you take a longer period of time. Then I started to take 20mg of famotidine before breakfast and dinner, but one 20 mg of pill doesn't last long enough to the dinner time, and I was having acid reflux after lunch... After watching your video, I started to take 2 tablets of DGL 400 mg, and 1 table spoon of slipper elm with water for each meals, I'm able to gain great control on my acid reflux along with famotidine 20 mg twice a day. I see significant effects just 4 days of taking these supplements. Let's hope i can cure or improve further my acid reflux without any famotidine after a month!
How are you now ?
Thank you Molly 🙏🏽❤️
🤍🤍
New big fan. Thanks :)
awh thank you so being here!! ❤️❤️
Molly. This is so helpful. I want to ask your opinion. I’ve heard omeprazole helps for a while like you said but then stops and that it’s bad for you . I just barely found out I have this and have been considering just going the natural route with supplements etc and not even trying omeprazole. What are your thoughts ?
im so glad that this was helpful for you! these videso may be helpful for you - ua-cam.com/video/5mAc0LiTx9g/v-deo.html and ua-cam.com/video/WloeRJ3hVmg/v-deo.html
Last tip elevate your bed by at least 4 inches. Put some 2x4s or cinder blocks where your bed legs are.(headboard area).
I am currently in a state that even when im on a diet my symptomps dont go away, I take 3x2 omeprazol/day and just ordered the herbs that you did recommend. If these will help me I swear I will love you till rest of my life! :D
let me know how it goes! when i took meds, i took the herbs 1 hour before or 2 hours after so they didn’t interact
How are you feeling man?
please do keep us updated
How your feeling my boy?
@@saintjames785 Turned out that Im not having "reflux" but I have bactery called helicobacter pylori which has same symptoms :D
You have done a good job of putting lots of info about foods possibly causing and lifestyle, and herbs !! Would add about licorice , if not deglycerated(?) can increase BP, and also effects cortisol (think it keeps at level but stops from making more). Have heard of Aloe drink also being helpful. The herbs might be available (often organic) from bulk jars at the health food store, so can try a tiny bit. A food, symptom diary can help figure what might be a problem. Is nice when we can help ourselves and others !
❤️❤️
@@MollyPelletierRD forgot to mention posture has a big effect (am trying to not slouch) on digestion, circulation.... Might also consider foofds high oxalic acid increase gerd. I dont usually get pain but Dr thought had PND from gerd, but think is something else. Stay well !!
very true posture is so important!
A problem that I experienced was the relaxing of my esophageal sphincter (LES). The solution I discovered was L. Tryptophan & Melatonin. It's been found that these trigger your LES to close in preparation for lying down to sleep. I take 2-3 L. Tryptophan throughout the day & a 5 mg melatonin at bedtime. This only works for me because my LES wasn't working correctly, but I felt a difference upon taking my very first tryptophan pill. My regiment includes other supplements (including the slippery elm you mentioned) & I've gotten off PPI's completely and now slowly but surely weening off Pepcid (once at 80 mg per day, now down to 20 mg every other day). I'm also on a low-acid diet which has definitely helped. Thanks for your video!
this is really interesting! i have heard about melatonin for reflux!
Any update on how you're feeling now?
Thanks for sharing your story
❤️❤️
Thank you this video really helped me
I'm so glad! Thats so great!
hi there!! i made another video reviewing popular reflux remedies that you may find helpful! xo ua-cam.com/video/Xtr9qx1mEf4/v-deo.html
My cough is so bad due to acid reflux. I’m on Pantoprazole, and I completely changed my diet and quit caffeine. I don’t have any stomach pains. I’m going to try apple cider vinaigrette and hopefully it helps.
hope you feel better!!
Hi how many slippery elm caps do you take a day and licorice root to ????
Great video. I wanted to ask wen u had gerd did you experience any bad top stomach pain or even like sharp pain when you would eat or would you feel slight pain with ur food going down your esophagus, or have food come back up with a burp? I have these symptoms and just wondering of it's gerd or gastritis
Hi molly pls let me know I'm suffering with gerd feeling food stuck in my throat all the time & throat burning sometimes also few burps after every meal I also wanna try herbs u suggested in this video pls explain how should I take I mean should I start with slippery elm & Licorie root how many times in a day and at what time? Only before breakfast or before dinner also
hey there. i’ve been dealing with reflux for a year. it honestly started to get better on its own really. only just know i’ve started to go for a walk everyday and change my diet. my symptoms are so strange though because they’re not really associated with reflux
Hi how did you know you had too much acid reflux and not too little ? Did you do a test ? New subbie ❤️ loving your vids
Thank you for this video! I just purchased the Slippery Elm. I hope it’ll help my acid reflux symptoms. Can’t wait to try it! I’ve been drinking ACV as of the moment since I’ve heard good things about it too. Do you think it’s safe to drink ACV alongside Slippery Elm? :)
yes i think they are safe together! let me know how it goes! hope it helps you too. xo ❤️
Did the slippery elm help you
@@sapnadesai1223 Hey, sorry for the late response. Yeah, it helped me a lot! But I already stopped taking ACV and took Omeprazole with the Slippery Elm instead.
Hi Molly! 😀 I bought slippery elm after seeing your video, it has reduced my acid reflux up to 50%.2 years ago, I had IBS and now fighting GERD for more than 1 year. I hope I can be fully cured like you Molly.I will keep eating the slippery elm and licorice for another 3-4 months.Can I know what else you did till you fully cured? I am eating small portion meals, having early dinners and avoiding trigger foods. You helped more in managing my GERD than 4 medical practitioners I met in the past 1+ years.🙏🏼🤗
so glad that my content was helpful!!! and so glad you are seeing results!
What other stomach issues in ibs?
Did the slippery elm and licorice help you?
Hey which brand did you use for slippery elm and licorice root?
I have ordered 2 bottles from Amazon I'm waiting on them now
I have awful gerd, I ended up in the hospital for 5 days this month bc I’d been throwing up for over a week with so much bile and stomach pain. Licorice root is the only thing that’s helped me, I’ve tried a few acid reflux medicines including prescription. I’ve been taking the licorice for a couple years now, but I didn’t know that it needed to be taken before food. I’d often take after and get some relief, will have to switch to beforehand and try the slippery elm too.
Thank you, I’m glad you’ve gotten relief!
wow i’m so sorry to hear how much you struggled with AR! but that’s amazing you found herbs that work for you. i’ve had to go on medication as well and it’s crazy that *sometimes* the herbs actually work!! glad to hear you are getting relief!
I knew PPIs where too good to be true as if it was going to be that simple gave me two weeks relief
Hi Molly. Thanks for the info! Which brand of licorice root did you use?
i have some favs!! you can find them on my amazon store now!! www.amazon.com/shop/zucchini.who
@@MollyPelletierRD thank you very much! I’ve actually had gerd for a long while and it impeded my breathing. Extremely scary. Glad I found your channel!
Where can I buy this slippery elm and is it good for men?
Did you get heartburns that lasted all night? I couldn't sleep at all last night and that scares me. Glad you are cured I'm going to try those supplements out
i know this is kind of super late since you posted this a year ago, but i stumbled upon your channel (new subscriber here, already love your content!) because my GERD symptoms got worse recently. i wanted to ask if you got an EGD to diagnose your gerd or did you discuss basically just symptoms with your GI doc? i’m not sure if i need one or nof
Hi! Thanks for being here ❤️ I was diagnosed based on symptoms then had an endoscopy to get a closer look and rule out other issues. Hope that helps!
@@MollyPelletierRD yes this helps a lot! thank you ♥️
Omg, I haven’t stop watching your videos since I found you channel. Thank you, so much I’m going to start trying these right away
❤️❤️❤️
So if you are having breakfast at 10am you used to take 1 slippery elm capsule at 8am ?
yes, i took 2 capsules of it and 2 capsules of licorice root
but always talk to your doc before taking any supplements! they can interact with medications!!!
Can you get slippery elm from the chemist Nancy ?
Hey Nancy I saw your comment on many videos related to acid reflux/GERD so I just wanna know if you’re seeing any difference if yes then how please tell I’m also suffering from the same can’t even sleep at night properly
@@mlagxmer5417 hi
yes there was a point in my life when i was tired of getting acid reflux so i started researching on this topic and try to heal myself on my own as indian doctors would just give you antibiotics nothing else
First of all it is important to understand why do we get acid reflux
It is because of low stomach acid ..low stomach acid can be bcoz of various reasons eating a lot of junk food , sugary foods , bacterial infections , stress , inflammations from certain foods and so on
So after watching so many videos amd reading so many blogs and trying so many things
What works for me is
1)Drinking 1 glass of celery juice every morning empty stomach (this will kill bacteria and increase stomach acid so very important)
2)Going gluten free and dairy free
3) Stopped eating fried ,oily , sugary foods
4) also packaged foods has preservatives so big so to that too
5) lastly managing stress
If anyone will do all these things i can gurantee that they can cure acid reflux no matter how bad and old it is
Note: in my case i had low stomach acid since childhood and because of that i had malabsorption , fatigue, bacterial infections and later inflammation
Thank you for sharing higher soul.
❤️❤️
How bout your diet, I’ve been taking slippery elm for 2 months but my lpr keep coming back. I didn’t take omeprazole. What is your breakfast and lunch or dinner? Did you eat salad or cooked veggies?
Thank you for this video Molly!! I can definitely confirm that caffeine is a big factor for reflux symptoms. As soon as I stopped drinking coffee then after like 2 days I started to feel really good 💯👌
I also started with the slippery elm tabs and with liquorice root tea 😁🤙
amazing!!!
update please
Do you drink caffeinated tea at all?
Oh sorry, I saw this now. Right now it is much better for me. I am not taking these supplements as shown in this video anymore.
I think it was not only about drinking coffee. But more about stress in my life and also food/snack choices. You have to find what works for you. For me it was to cut out all sugars that is not good.
I am now able to drink coffee and tea without any problems. My stomach is acting much better now due to some lifestyle changes. Every individual has to find what works for him/her.
IF i'm ON PPI and want to start this. How do i combine my PPI dosage and the herbs? When do i take the herbs/PPI? What goes first?and how long time in between?
I’m confused as to when I should take the pills. I’m currently taking Slippery Elm and DGL when I wake up and at night. Am I supposed to take them before I eat? Thanks Molly!
Really helpful video, thank you. Such a shame you had to give up green tea. I’m suffering from GERD now and I got immediate relief not drinking my 4 cup coffee habit. Stopped drinking wine too. Was hoping I could reintroduce some caffeine via green tea or pu erh tea.
Herbs & food is ALWAYS the way to go for better health and healing
❤️ medication, therapy, and herbs were all helpful for me!
@@MollyPelletierRD I agree. Thanks for the video and the information
Do you know if slippery elm has any side effects or negative long term effects? Appreciate your help!
according to my research, no. but it must be taken at least 1 hour before or 2 hours after meds. best on an empty stomach
What a very thoughtful video, you managed to list any negatives as well as positives, which many fail to do. A very sweet young lady too. Thank you, I will try the slippery elm as I too have been suffering from GERD and possibly Gastritis as well.🙏
❤️❤️❤️
Thanks really helpful video. How long was it till you were able to discontinue the omneprezole? I’ve been on it for years and When I looked into it I found out it’s very dangerous indeed. I was taking 40 mags a day. And cut down to 20.
How I Healed From ACID REFLUX with Herbs & Weaned Off Medication (PPI) | My Story
ua-cam.com/video/rzMEoAonUyQ/v-deo.html this video may answer your question!
How do you know if you have gerd with high stomach acid? Acid test?
I'm so glad I am not alone! Acid Reflux sucks, but I agree that Licorice and the Slippery Elm has helped me sooooo much. Thank you for this video!!! Are you able to eat any food now???
you are definitely not alone!! glad those herbs helped you too. they were a lifesaver for me but always so important to keep in mind that nutrition is so individual and it’s always best to chat with your doc before taking anything! and yes i eat everything, i only have flare ups every now and then
@@MollyPelletierRD yes I talked to my doctor, but since like you said they aren't FDA approved she really couldn't recommend them. But they really are life savers! How long was it before you could eat again? I had to completely change my diet around, I'm barely 3 weeks in :D
How do u take dgl and sliperry elm
Can I ask which brand of the Slippery Elm you take please
@@MollyPelletierRD hello, could you please let me know how long you took these herbs before things went back to normal?
do you still experience symptoms now or are you a lot better?
Hello! I'm struggling with acid reflux since I was very young. Now I'm 15, turning 16 and thinking about trying this supplement. Is it safe for teenagers or is it only for adults?
This is helpful. I didn’t notice any food recommendations besides avoiding caffeine. We’re there any other foods you avoid or food that helped prevent acid reflux?
be sure to check out my tiktok! i answer your question there! www.tiktok.com/@mollypelletier.rd
Thank you for this video, question, is it better to take slippery em on a empty stomach or with meals?
How many capsules do you take in the day?
i took mine 1h before food on an empty stomach, i took 2 capsules each 2x a day. but that’s just what i personally did i am not advising you to do the same always chat with your doc xo!
Thank you, your video was so helpful! I’ve been suffering with silent reflux for a while it seems, now I have a clicking when I swallow and my throat burns especially during the night and when I wake due to stomach acid now, it is getting worse. Do you think the acid could have caused the clicking? my throat on waking is so dry. My GP has prescribed omeprazole, but it hasn’t helped. I’m so worried that I’ve damaged my throat and oesophagus. I haven’t had a test on whether I have low or high stomach acid, but as I’m over 50 I think it’s probably low acid causing my symptoms as low stomach acid causes fermentation and bacteria through not breaking down carbs properly and thus causing gas which causes pressure so that stomach acid leaks into my oesophagus and throat.
so sorry to hear you are struggling! heres a video explaining more about the herbs i took that helped my symptoms personally - ua-cam.com/video/WloeRJ3hVmg/v-deo.html
How does the capsules help the throat, esophagus ?
Hi Thank you for the video. Did you went through endoscopy?
yes i did!
Thank you for your helpful videos on acid reflux. How many slippery elm tablets did you take when you first started using them and now?
i took 2 in the am and 2 at night. i also did 2 licorice root pills am and pm. now i only take 1 licorice root and 2 slippery elm if i have a flare!
be sure to watch this!! ua-cam.com/video/WloeRJ3hVmg/v-deo.html
Thanks so much for getting back to me it’s been a huge help
i’m so glad!
hey i bought that exact slippery elms just few days ago, and i had trouble swallowing them and it kinda stuck in my chest and it was uncomfortable, can i open the capsule and mix it with water? bcs i already bought this one instead the powder one. thankyou!
Hi! Do u think celery juice on an empty stomach in the morning will help like u mentioned the herbs? I heard the celery juice does a similar thing u mentioned like thickening ur stomach lining
Did you ever try it out? I’m suffering from chest pain due to gerd and I just want to get rid of it
What do you think about raw cabbage juice for acid reflux?
sounds like it would not taste very good!!
I have Gerd and it has caused my esophagus to become inflamed, which has caused coughing, asthma, interrupted my sleep, and caused vomiting and coughing fits. I am currently taking Proton Pump inhibitors, but I don't want the risks of kidney disease, and they don't help much because my gut is still inflamed, with acid coming up while I sleep. I have cut out most spicy foods and soda, to no avail. I have lost weight and can barely hold down food. Can this product help me? How often do I need to take it and do I take it around my Omeprazole?
i’m so sorry to hear you are struggling! i took these herbs about 2 hours before my PPI because they can make the PPI less effective. you should definitely chat with your doctor about your options and the potential for the herbs. they helped me so much
is the elm and licorice ok to use for silent reflux systems??far as the constant clearing throat and Chronic cough
I’ve been struggling w acid reflux since I was in early high school and now I’m in college. I’ve been taking omeprazole for less than a year but it doesn’t even help. I get indigestion all the time and reflux at night. Really bad bloating to the point where I can’t eat. I’ve lost so much weight and I was already skinny to begin with :/ I try to avoid trigger foods but my tummy is always upset. My doctor ordered me erythromycin so when I finish these , hopefully I can try this out. Cause I need to gain weight :’)
Hi can you give some examples of the meals you make when you doing your frequent meals?
hi! i do oats, smoothies, chia seed pudding, protein waffles for breakfast. my homemade protein balls and bars for snacks. lunch and dinner is usually fish or chicken plus potatoes or rice and veggies/salad, or some type of legume based pasta. i also love chicken/turkey burgers. i have a few what i eat in a day videos you should check them out on my channel!
How did you take the slippery elm, by what the bottle suggested or what ?

How did you figure out you had too much acid instead of too little? Thanks so much for the video. I'll be trying slippery elm.
honestly just based on my symptoms! how did it go with the Slippery elm?
@@MollyPelletierRD It didn't hurt or help. I'm going in for an endoscopy in two weeks.
Does slippery elm help with healing , like have you checked if your gi tract has healed
Hi Molly! Just wanted to know what time did you eat dinner and time you went to sleep?
i TRY for 5-6pm dinner, 9:30 laying down - but sometimes life gets in the way!

Great content
I have anxiety disorder gastritis and acid reflux
Its very irritating To not have eat favourite foods and dealing with awful symptoms
i am so sorry you are going through this! i know how frustrating that can be. be sure to bring up all these conditions with your doctor ❤️
I feel you
Same with me here. Everytime my anxiety attacks my gerd symptoms simply won't go away easily. I'm having difficulties managing it. Do you guys can make suggestions / recommendations for anxiety attack or how to get rid of it? Thanks for your help.
Did you fine a cure for your acid reflux?? :) well to call it like that
Im 17 and a junior in high school & i think im experiencing acid reflux, its been happening since august. i get no heart burn but all of the symptoms seem to point to acid reflux and im on the 11th day of prilosec and it doesn’t seem to be making it go away. Im not sure what to do and this scares me at times
definitely recommend seeing a good GI doc and a registered dietitian!
I have LPR (silent reflux). I have no pain or gagging, just a hoarse voice and I can't speak for long periods or loudly.
I am drinking slippery elm tea in the morning. Do you know if DGL is similar to licorice root?
Other things I did was eliminate coffee, tea and move to a Mediterranean diet.
so sorry to hear you are struggling! yes DGL is a form of licorice root
So how long did it take for u to start seeing results boo? I been taking it for like 2 weeks or 3 and no results just yet. I open them up and drink it with water.
I was highly doubtful at first if these would work...but Holy shit....after a week my GERD is WAY improved. This stuff is amazing! Question though...for long term up to how many weeks should I be on these? Should I take a break period after some time and then resume another cycle? Or is there a goal of only taking as needed?
Hello? How are you feeling now?
Careful with slippery elm if you have kidney stones. And Liquorice for blood pressure
Thank you
❤️❤️
So is caffeine free coffee ok?
Ok so how did you take it if you were taking Omeprazole can you specify? Like how far apart did you take them all
Did you have a hiatal hernia along with your GERD?
Chicory root alt coffee maybe , carob for the chocolate fix as long as you can tolerate and lastly, roobos tea or chamomile. As the two work for this condition but dilute on forst trial marshmallow root. Licorice is unfortunately not always safe for thyroid if you have that issue. So be careful. Some cam be hard of other organs. Mint is a hit or miss . I have bile acid post gallbladder removal and chronic gastritis to esophagitis hashimoto's. The gerd only comes like it's a response to no food or too much in gut. I eat like i nibble but still because fat is tricky it can be a bother. Bone broth. Low sodium if poss is amazing. Good luck!
how are you doing now what are you doing to prevent it diet, supplements, etc.
just posted a new video answering this question!!
