I can confirm that quitting carbs stopes gastric reflux. Thanks Dr. Cywes for excellent explanation.
Are you drinking coffe or you cut it out
Carnivore caused mine to come back.
How long did it take?
@@michaelanthony386 it is a matter of days or weeks, depending on your actual condition, but 100% "fixable".
I had horrible GERD and reactive lungs worsening my asthma, after doing doing a month of keto it was gone. Got rid of the protonix that I was taking for well over a decade. Keto for life!
I had a similar experience. I was surprised being told I would be using a higher dosage inhaler for my reactive lungs every day for the rest of my life. Haven’t used it in months now. Evidently I was so inflamed and retaining so many fluids the default previously was drowning. Amazing.
@@marvinnelson5073 Hi, can you further explain, I don't know what "reactive lungs" are, and when you mention the inflammation and fluid re tension.....was this all over your body, or certain areas? I have lung issues (very overweight), and I also have edema as well....this diet would help me? I'm looking into it, but it's nice to hear from someone who's had success with symptoms one is having themselves.....thanks
@@Judeslovinlife Oh please let me know what you learn because I have asthma aggravated mainly by GERD and I also have unexplained edema (they can't find a reason for my legs swelling).
@@Awall79 are you doing keto or low carb?
Can you give an example of what your diet consisted of?
Apple cider vinegar tablets work great without the problem of irritating your esophagus! They have helped my sister immensely!
Never hurt of it
Excellent video Dr Cywes. I want to challenge one mechanistic point you make at 8:30. I know it's tempting to suggest that carbs loosen the LES and lots of published manometry data seem to support that the LES is weakened or relaxing during reflux events. I proposed a different theory in my books Heartburn Cured and Fast Tract Digestion Heartburn. I present the evidence that the problem is carbohydrate malabsorption leading to the overgrowth of gas-producing microbes in the gut. The pressure builds up in the intestines, but also in the stomach (higher intragastric pressure in GERD patients is documented in the literature). This pressure drives reflux pushing stomach contents into the esophagus (this also explains the manometry data - pushing the LES open, instead of it weakening or relaxing). Based on this idea both cutting carbs but also addressing causes of malabsorption such as pancreatic or brush border enzyme deficiency and many other possible underlying causes are both expected to reduce heartburn symptoms.
Makes sense.
What would one do if they have an enzyme deficiency causing malabsorption issues from the pancreas… I have low pancreatic elastase which caused pain and my throat is very “refluxy”… diet is carnivore plus minimal fruit. Tia
Worked for me! Any time I've relapsed, acid every time. Getting rid of carbs is the key!
Guys this is the most real honest Doctor around, please share to friend and family. Very special video.
This was me. Throat scare in 2018. Lost 80 pounds keto carnivore. No more harping like a seal in the middle of the night from aspirating. Now just need to manage the continuing carb addiction
Me too
Harping like a seal....🤣🤣....that's me right now. Just began keto/carne
@@changeplease7056 how are you now?
What is the mechanism by which carbohydrates and sugar cause esophageal sphincter dysfunction?
Two months doing keto-carnivore, and all GERD has been erased.
Hi after how many days u started to feel better? I'm 2 weeks in and still feeling horrible.
Hi. Have you watched his channel from Ep #1? If not I would recommend that. Great channel. Also, Diet Doctor with Brett Scher, watch all of his videos or at least listen to his podcast. It is on hiatus, though. I was Carnivore for 2 years and on and off for 4 years before that. I am. Ow doing keto. Mostly use Diet Doctor for that. It took me two months and the. Another 6 months to get complete results for everything. It is worth it to at least go full on keto. I will never look back. There is now too much research on how this helps. Definitely do Diet Doctor.
I started carnivore recently, and it has increased my acid reflux. I had no symptoms for many years, then in the last six months severe stress brought it back, not too bad though until I started carnivore. I'm trying to just chew longer, and it seems to help, and less water during and around meals.
My got worse also…. Trying to figure out why.
Gets worse before it gets better. Your body is going through an adaptive phase. Give it at least 90-120 days.
Mine too, I add green veg with some meals because I’m not spending 3 months with acid reflux.
Keto and ACV capsules eliminated my need for omeprazole. I thought it was mostly the ACV. Interesting that it may be the keto alone. In any case, ACV capsules remove all of the acid damage above the stomach. They are also more convenient than trying to mix with water.
Good and informative video! And I can verify that going to a Keto Diet life style does reduce or eliminate acid reflux. Go Dr. Rob!!!
I had LPR bad for 10yrs, about 4 YRs ago I had laparoscopic surgery to fix the sliding hernia, and they also installed a LINX device. My LPR has gone away, and I’m not on any PPI’s, after being on them for 10 YRs.
I've been doing keto for three months and my silent reflux is much better. I'm down 30 pounds with 15 more to go. I could not have landed on a more helpful video. Thank you Dr. Cywes you are greatly appreciated.
That’s awesome! I have silent reflux/LPR. What were you’re symptoms? Mine are mainly throat issues and mucus, throat clearing, plugged nose and ears.
How are you feeling now?
@bigmig5015 i have also silent reflux and gastritis..my symptoms are weakness..reflux..heartburn..sensation on my throat..the no.1 that i don't like is i feel weak if there's reflux..i can't work or move what i want😢 how are you now?
@@Sumdelacruz3042 I've forgotten that I ever had reflux. I've been keto then carnivore and feel great.
Great explanation on how the esophagial sphincter functions. How about dysautonomia? Vagus nerve becoming compromised due to acetylcholine downregulation in the brain stem that controls the parasympathetic nervous system. Possible B1 thiamine deficiency. Simple safe solution everyone can try first. Carbs, prescription drugs, diuretics are known to deplete vitamin stores in the blood. There is too much dogma in the carnivore keto lowcarb community about supplementation. Most supplements are junk unfortunately so I do understand why many people feel this way about them. I follow carnivore myself but GERD is a good example where temporary supplementation may be necessary to resolve the issue to avoid people from not obtaining the benefits of keto carnivore.
Agreed
Yep i got severe heatburn from an antipsychotic drug one of the main mechanism of action of this antipsychotic drug is downregulation of acetylcholine receptors, im really screwed its unbearable, im disabled in bed now after taking ppis reacted really badly to them :(
@@galadriel9473 I would recommend watching some of Elliot Overton (certified carnivore nutritionist in the UK) youtube channel on B1 thiamine deficiency. It's a rather simple fix using a temporary particular high dose B1 thiamine called tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide. A good magnesium, such as nano magnesium liquid) and methylated B complex for support is also recommended temporarily with B1 TTFD. Nobody should have to live with downregulated acetylcholine when there is a simple solution using supplements temporarily. Food alone does not provide enough of these high dose essential nutrients to reverse the damage.
JYAN2852 okay will do, thanks alot
It would be so helpful to know why carbs cause gerd. What is the physiological process that makes this happen?
I would love to know this as well.
Why and why all of a sudden when you didn't have the problem before?
I think my esophageal sphincter has been damaged by medications I take for bipolar disorder and insomnia. The first time I had trouble with acid reflux was when I started taking Zopiclone, and then I started taking Seroquel, as well as various antidepressants.
I am bipolar too and have been using generic Prilosec. I really want to wean off.
I'm almost a month into strict carnivore after a few months of mostly keto and then a very dirty December, and my reflux has suddenly got worse in the last two weeks. I have a sliding hiatus hernia and so I know there's a certain element of randomness which causes when I do or don't get reflux. I'm hoping this is part of the healing process. My stomach is having an angry reaction to the lack of carbs and it will calm down. We shall see
Sleep apnea can also interfere with the closing of the stomach sphincter during sleep and lead to GERD. My GERD was cured instantly, overnight, as soon as I went on CPAP. If you have trouble with GERD while you're sleeping, you should get a sleep study to test for sleep apnea.
Yes my hubby too.
GERD with esophagitis for several years. On medication. Within a few days of going keto, off medication and no problems whatsoever with GERD.
What is CPAP? Are you still fine?
@@Tap2EarnTips Continuous Positive Air Pressure. It's a machine that keeps your windways open to keep you breathing as you sleep, if you have sleep apnea.
I got gurd where I'd throw up from certain foods. I went on nexium for a month or two. If I stay low carb it goes away.Eat carbs....pain with certain foods like bread.
I had GERD, although not real bad, but also a narrowing in my esophagus which all but caused certain types of food to just get stuck and even water wouldn't wash it down. My doctor wrote out a prescription for Prilosec. Now it was available over the counter but I think you could only get 2 weeks worth per bottle. I could get my prescription refilled every 3 months. But I decided I didn't like the side effects so I stopped.
I also had borderline sleep apnea, which seems to be the popular diagnosis these days.
A month after going on keto last August the GERD was gone and goodbye any potential sleep apnea because I lost 2 inches from my neck.
At one point I had Barrett's esophagus; last scope showed no Barrett's, but hiatal hernia. That was two years ago. Started keto/low carb, still have major belching and some reflux. Also much stuffed. Interesting to know that the post-nasal drip/congestion is related to the digestive problems. Need to find a good doctor in Upstate SC.
LPR
Finally! Someone who understands what is truly going on and can explain it. All the gastroenterologists I have ever seen only recommend PPIs, wanting to double the dose when the initial dose doesn't work. Question: Is there a medical professional/surgeon here in the Midwest who can do the HH surgery that you recommend? Been keto/carnivore for two years; it's not perfect--it resolves most, but not all, of the issues. Thanks!
Yep, i would aspirate in my sleep. Had heartburn 24/7. 1 day off sugar and starch, gone! Lived on tums. haven't taken a Tums in over a year! Husband says i stopped snoring the next day. My reactive airway issue... Gone! No more inhaler!
What you said Doc was true for me I was always popping pills for the condition since going Low Carb no more problems no more pills.
Another great lecture! ty Doc!
I was super excited about this because I thought you would once and for all answer the age old question of: is Acid Reflux caused by Too MUCH or Too LITTLE acid. Sounds like you are on the TOO MUCH side.
Slightly off topic but did you know that a lot of dogs suffer from GERD/acid reflux?
My dog was diagnosed with this just last month after a fluoroscopy and other tests. Yes he has spent most of his life (he's 13) eating kibble but now he is on a raw diet and after a couple weeks on PPIs it does seem that the acid reflux is getting better.
What I wanted to mention was that the Internal Med Specialist we went to recommended a hydrolyzed protein diet which is made out of .... cornstarch!!! No way I would feed that to my dog 🤷
As an animal lover I see a lot of the same issues being treated the same as in humans. It's concerning how many doctors are swayed by big Pharma or just don't know any better in either world.
Dr Berg says your too alkaline and that's why ACV works for heart burn. Adds some acid in.
Not about how much. Its about acid in the wrong place
Fantastic information! Thank you so much. Another clear demonstration of why Keto/Carnivore is the proper human diet.
You are absolutely amazing! Thank you so much for your informative videos. Very helpful!
I've gone carnivore now for 3 weeks or so. I feel fantastic, sleep better than I have in literally years, strong, alert, focused, weight is dropping quickly. I do though now have {developed} quite irritating heartburn and acid reflux which I never had before. It was just not a thing that would happen to me in general.. I started ketogenic diet a year ago, which worked very well for me, I dropped a lot of weight and many of my {allergic} skin reactions disappeared.. But I still have problems with arthritic fingers (63 - female) and problems with my eyesight that I'm trying to figure out by elimination diet. So I decided to give carnivore a shot. There's too much to explain here so I'm trying to condense as much as possible.
I was drinking a glass of diluted 2 tbsp lemon juice +1 tbsp ACV as suggested to do via internet (I know, I know, please don't yell at me 😅) and it seemed to with well for me. A couple weeks into carnivore, I can now hear my stomach gurgling constantly, have barely any appetite (which is a blessing considering I was a carb junkie before I started keto in general) and when I do finally eat, the food feels like it sits in my stomach like a rock, gurgling, and then I get heartburn and burping. Again, something I did not have.
I eat mainly beef, usually ground beef, a couple patties, not too big, cooked in ghee or olive oil, maybe a couple of eggs, and this is all I eat during the day. That amount once or twice. I was feeling so great about this until I started getting the acid reflux. I then tried using lemon juice and ACV but that would make it so much worse.
I don't want to get damage to my esophagus and don't want to feel this way anymore. Do you have suggestions on how I can combat this acid reflux NATURALLY ? I read so many articles, watch so many videos, I'm trying to hard to do things right for my carb damaged body, but I'm confused and worried.
I do not trust the physicians any more where I live. All they ever have done were to push pills at me that would mask my symptoms and pain. I don't want pills anymore. I don't want useless supplements. I haven't taken even an aspirin in over a year and I'm so thankful for that. Please, could you do a video about acid reflux, heartburn and digestion issues when following a carnivore diet? I would be so grateful.
Also one more request. A little guidance on the topic of oxalate dumping? I've been reading up on that and want to know if I should be concerned about that. I was eating massive amounts of Oxalates in the ketogenic diet. I'm confused about the whole subject anymore. Can't find a reputable, trustworthy doctor here (I'm in Europe but don't want to say where I'm living to not insult the country I live in. out of respect for them ((I'm American by birth)).
So again, guidance on a acid reflux from carnivore diet and oxalate dumping. If there are already videos by yourself, could you please direct them towards me? Thank you again for your time. 🙏💖
Hi, my story is very similar to yours, we're you able to find relief? I'm going thru this now
Sounds like maybe a lack of hydrochloric acid. I would try taking an HCL capsule with your meals.
I just had Acid Reflux and two beef 🥩 patties for dinner
I've had Barrett's for 10-12 years. Get screened every 3 years. Fortunately it has not gotten worse. Been on Omeprazole or other for nearly 30 years.
Been doing IF and Keto for 3 months. Hoping to get off Omeprazole, but may be too late for that to happen. Fingers crossed.
How did it go? Your reply means a lot.
Has Keto helped?
@@bradje12unfortunately keto did not help a whole lot for me, but I would say it is better.
Having Barrett's, I'll continue to stay on Omep.
Thank you once again for the valuable information.
Thank you! Best description/explanation of my problem I have heard. I’m on Protonix since October 2020 and I have a hiatal hernia. Dilated my esophagus twice in five years. Now that I understand the why I can fix it.
Did going keto help you? I have tried a couple times but it makes my gerd worse.
@@michellemerwin6107 didn’t help my digestion either.
This is one of the main reasons I eat my OMAD earlier now. Even if the carbs are low enough, having them in the evening can still mess me up. I still need to ween off omeprazole though
What is OMAD?
Well, hell. This edification seems to fall squarely into the be careful what you wish for category. I recently quit daily omeprozole for pretty much 27 years, as well as endless antacids, H1’s, and eventually PPI’s since I was 18 yo. I always wondered about the relative lack of “legs” from ACV for myself- why did it seem to miraculously work everyone else? The same recurring message here ( the take away...) is once again, relying on unf-king stupid thinking from yesteryears, intentional or otherwise, is a bad plan plan. The body remembers.
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 UA-cam.
I will do more carnivore for my inter thoracic hiatal hernia . I do have a Barrett’s Esophagus too . I do OMAD and intermittent fasting .
Me too! I can be on low carb, be symptom free and eat a piece of chocolate or a favorite carb food and IMMEDIATELY - I have acid reflux! UGH!! No cheating for me unless I want to put up with that!
I was diagnosed with hiatal hernia when I was 32 years old, 4 years after the birth of my 2nd daughter. I am now 58, and I still suffer from acid reflux even though I have cut out almost all carbs! I stopped drinking wine at night because it makes it worse! I don't know how much more I can do to stop the pain!
There are massage techniques which help move the stomach from its trapped position in the diaphragm
How?
Maybe a surgery like he talks about would be the best option

Question though...I did not have heartburn, then started carnivore ten days ago and have had horrible acid reflux. Bewildered as to why. I've read it "should" pass. Can you explain this?
Thanks for the explanation. I can't take ACV because it makes my esophagus burn, but I do take ACV capsules and digestive enzyme capsules when I eat. I already eat a relatively low carb diet, but you've convinced me I need to go lower, like Keto, 20 carbs per day.
Getting off Duexis (orthopedic issue) which has an acid reducer has been rough. Having to wean off. I’ve also had a few bouts of esophageal nutcracker spasms. The last 4 times, I lost consciousness because it’s so painful. Always after a sip of tap water, coffee or ice water. So random. Thankfully I know when I’m about to pass out & simply lay down. The docs wrote for sublingual nitroglycerin. Like I could take it in time? Ha! I’m down 65 pounds, no sugar/grains in 2 years. I’ll try carnivore to get me past this phase.
The ACV Goli Gummies work fantastic for me and I agree the main cause for the gerds is the carbs
That has been me for 2.5 yrs. Keto for 5 yrs carnivore for 1 but still get laringoesophageal reflux quite often. My throat burns and my ears get plugged very often upon waking. Breathlessness, inflamed/painful throat, hoarse voice, tiredness, etc. It's horrible to live with it. Had gastroendoscopy 2 hrs ago but the dr.didn't mention anything about any hernia.
I have LPR too but haven’t given carnivore or keto a true shot yet. What did you’re GI say to you?
Will carnivore diet heal barretts esophagus?
Since going on a near-carnivore diet I’ve weaned myself off daily OTC-strength omeprazole, then stopped taking famotidine before bedtime. No night-time acid reflux. Maybe I could have done this years ago, maybe it’s the diet and the slight loss of weight that’s resulted. I don’t know. For now, at least, it’s gone.
Yes keto and carnivore both get rid of it
I used to get it a lot when eating beans and rice. I never get it on Keto.
I had a Lap Nissen fundoplication (GERD surgery) with hiatal hernia repair in 2007. I had to have surgery in June & even though the stomach wrap is still in place, the hiatal hernia returned. Surgery to repair it again only if it’s absolutely necessary.
Love you, too.
Thank you again.
**SHARE, SHARE, SHARE** 😁😁😁😁🧡
I know this video is old, but I've been watching a 5on of your videos lately. The PPI bit though, wow. I was on Zantac (ranitidine) for years, then switched lansoprazole and have been on that since Zantac was recalled. Ive had reflux aince I was a kid, and had some serious kidney issues, never even considered the connection.
A little 40 days into carnivore and ive almost completely cut out the lansoprazole. Its incredible how much changes with cutting out junk.
Nice video. I wish you would have also spoken on H. pylori.
Thank you, I've just learned more about my problems in 15 min than 20 years of one doc after another not taking my made up term "esophageal spasms" seriously (since I wasn't a medically trained person I couldn't possibly know anything! ) I'm down to 1/3 of a Prilosec a day and about to get off it totally. Gerd is a thing of the past but a Barrett's is still with me, will it go away? Keto is the cure. THANK YOU
,,,excellent presentation Dr. Cywes.
I think some physicians never received this lecture at medical school...
Thanks for explaining clearly the mechanics behind this phenomenon. Pregnancy provides another route for heartburn to occur. It would be interesting to see if reduced carb intake or carnivore intake provided substantial reduction of heartburn during pregnancy. I know just the sheer physical limitations of space contribute immensely.
Hhhm, a very good question to pose to Mykailla Peterson, she was pure carnivore during her pregnancy and just had a baby boy. She did an entire cast on it, but I didn't have time to watch more than the first 6 minutes
Thank you, I have this issue and will start tomorrow, and will keep watching
Thank you for that insight, most appreciated.
Hello, Dr. Cywes, what about GERD and H Pylori? Great video BTW! I loved the last phrase, so sad, so true!
H. Pylori shd be treated
My husband has been dealing with acid reflux since he was a child but he says it is never a burning feeling and he never had acid up in his throat. He says he feels pressure.
Thank you Doc your explanation really helps.
yeah, I eat keto most of the time, sometimes when I travel and I do not have a choice but to eat carbs...I automatically feel the burn...so that is very true 'cause I personally experienced it.
Do I have to quit coffee if i have reflux? I love it so much! Also in adjusting to low carb i find the reflux is worse. Will this go away as I adjust to low carb?
I have this issue as well, if I go low carb without the high fat then I'm fine but I can't go full keto without the reflux getting worse
I have been doing keto and OMAD with intermittent fasting.
Thank you doctor! Excellent advice and guidance!!
Carbs cause me reflux, along with IBS-D.
Between the 2, I keep my carbs relatively low.
When I don't.. I always regret it for a couple days.
Words can't express my gratitude for all you've done and will continue to do Dr Emovon, you are truly an amazing and dedicated doctor, keep saving life my Doctor, for helping me get rid of my bad breath and acid reflux..🥰🥰
Cywes : You didn't mention a mechanism for carbs causing reflux. Any literature ?
I didn’t have this problem until I got a lapband
Often too tight
I have a lower esophageal sphincter that does not close and have been on nexium for years. Have been on low carb ketogenic diet for two years and have lost 80 pounds. I have cured my metabolic syndrome including my diabetes and I am off all my medications except for ursodeoxycholic for PBC and nexium. In consultation with my hepatologist I am now taking 40 mg of nexium every other day to wean off of it down from 40 mg daily. However, on the days I do not take it I suffer from the reflux and spasms in my mid back. I have heard that reflux will worsen temporarily when nexium is stopped or reduced. Not sure whether or not this will resolve with time or if I should increase the dose again. My doctor advised that if I had problems with the lower dose to increase again. I don't know how long to wait. Lowered my dosage in December
Likely a hiatal hernia
@@robertcywes2966 Thank you. I will follow up. I also recognize my carb addiction and your insight is invaluable.
This does help so much . I know I am on a tightrope with my esophagus 😐
Thank you!!!
The acid reflux treatment for gerd is to stop eating trouble-maker foods. The usual suspects include coffee, chocolate, alcohol, carbonated beverages, mint, garlic, onions, and spicy foods. Smoking also irritates the esophagus.
Just came across this very helpful video. I started a carnivore diet and it will be 3 weeks tomorrow. I've seen my GERD get better but I'm still having burning when I swallow meat which sometimes gets better after the first few bites of food. Will this eventually go away after more time on this diet?
The way I understand it is that you want the PH of your stomach to be low and remain low. It is a too high PH of the stomach that causes "acid reflux", and that is why ACV and lemon juice will treat the CAUSE of acid reflux, because the PH is lowered to hopefully the right level where the stomach can do its job. ACV does work, and it works all the time; not just for an hour or so. I have tried it, but fortunately I very rarely get heartburn. Yes, what applies to ACV as mentioned in the video, also would apply to lemon juice. You don't want the enamel on your teeth to be eaten away by the lemon juice, but a little goes a long way, you don't need a gallon of water to dilute the ACV, especially if you dilute it with a little water before you take it.
Great video prof, next i like to talk about stress and connection with insulin resistance. How they correlated.?
Where are you located? Do you have any Doctors here in Japan you can recommend I go see? I’m going to cut out my carbs and see what happens but I’ve had regurgitation problems since I was a child. I tend to being food and fluids back up after I eat or drink sometimes a hour or two later. I can regurgitate undigested food. I’m praying going Keto will help me.
Great visual explanations here! Thank you for that! I have a connective tissue disorder, hEDS, and this population has floppy tissues and herniate easily, some have major issues from organs falling as the connective tissue is so dysfunctional. It also has a lot of fatty liver and mitochondrial issues.. Unfortunately so many dietary issues, gastroparesis, mast cell issues etc. Etc make for challenging dietary patterns, not to mention the lack of energy, dislocations and pain to cook. I'm certainly not one of the worst cases but it blows. I've been keto 3 years and mostly carnivore..in due time I will be there but not sure how to eat more. I've been omading for 2.5 years and hard to break that pattern of no hunger. If anyone has any ideas for someone with low spoons (low energy) and a body that isn't cooperating, how to get over the hump I accept discussion and resources! It feels like a planning issue. Thanks everyone!
Wow, great content
I have a intrathorasic hiatal hernia. I get small hernias and have had GI bleeding from small ulcers . I have the Barrett’s esophagus because of the gerd .
No one would touch it because of my obesity.
Are you going to try gonna keto or carnivore?
Transitioned from plant based to carnivore and acid reflux came back.
I have one of those but have been very low carb keto for 3 years and haven't had any heartburn or reflux since. I'm wondering if the breathing issues I have is related to it. I've had asthma since birth due to lung damage as a premie, but my asthma does come and go. I'm wondering if this is what causes some of my breathing issues when I'm not wheezing. Convincing my doc of this will be hard. It's been difficult dealing with her about keto in the first place.
I just had Acid Reflux and two beef 🥩 patties for dinner does it take time to heal
How long does it take to get rid of Heartburn after going Zero Carb/Carnivore?
Few weeks
for me it takes few days. max a week
I’m 6 weeks in on Carnivore stopped taking Prilosec about 2 weeks ago(after 20+ years) still having some heartburn. Been drinking acv and it has helped. Had a upper GI done last summer and dr said no hiatal hernia and just keep taking Prilosec. Also have stage 2 kidney disease mostly likely from Prilosec and high blood pressure.
@@scottsmith238 did You have tried to fast? Do You feel heartburn if You are not eating? just corious :)
@@Girts-M I don’t get heartburn if I fast. I’m currently eating Omad and typically get a little heartburn 2-4 hours after I eat.
Thank you
Hello Dr. Cywes. I have seborrheic dermatitis - do you have any tips that could help with this condition?
Could keto/low carb be the answer? Mainstream doctors say it's a lifetime condition and not curable, which is frustrating
but I think it's mainly related to diet and allergies. Would love to know your thoughts on it.
Greetings from The Netherlands
Thank you so much Dr Emovon on UA-cam for your treatment and your consultations. I'm forever grateful to you. You've been such a kind and caring doctor for me during my hard time of bad breath. Thank you for doing everything that you do and helping me during a hard time. I'll definitely spread this to the whole world, I'm totally free from bad breath #dremovon...............
Crazy enough, I've never had acid reflux, and now a couple months into ultra low carb for 3 days in a row I've had acid come up to the back of my throat! It's damn frustrating to be eating healthier and experience this! Any ideas?!
I eat eggs, bacon, steak & butter... Sometimes eat onions, bell peppers or mushrooms. Been eating this exact way the whole time and now this..
I hear because acid reflux can be cause with too much acid in the body or too little
@@michael-cv9wd I appreciate your response. I am aware of this, I'm hoping someone with similar experience can shed light 👍
I have tried Keto twice, once for a full month using Leanne Vogel's book but the high fat content causes gerd every time. Then i tried a vegan keto book and same thing. Is there a way to do keto and keep the fat content around 15 to 25 grams of fat per meal?
I have gastritis. I'm on 4 week carnivore and I feel worse. My naturopath is telling me to lower fat and to only eat cooked foods not fried no steak. It's so confusing, not sure what to do :(
My reflex got worse…. Not sure what to do….. Taking cayenne pepper helps….
So going carnivore that means to eat red meat…why a lot of doctors say to not eat fatty foods
Thank you so much Dr Emovon on UA-cam for all your hard work and support during this difficult time. Your humility, kindness, and strength are greatly appreciated. Keep being the best doctor that you are. for curing me from bad breath and acid reflux totally without any side effects.❤
My husband has had surgery for AAA and has now been told to watch his diet. Low sodium, low fat, meat consumption etc. Now I am really confused and wonder if it is even correct information.
Thank you for talking about this. I'm struggling with symptoms of a hiatal hernia. I will be seeing my bariatric surgeon for a ventral hernia, which I think is causing my problems. I have been Keto for over 2 years and feeling great. GERD is gone but some food, liquids, supplements come back up or won't go down.
Thank you!
What to do with inlet patch?
PH of ACV 2.5 - 3.0 give or take. Ph of Coke 2.5 - 3.0 give or take. So how is it that only ACV removes tooth enamel and eats away at the esophagus?
Great info
Been keto for about 2 years and still get acid reflux/heartburn pretty bad sometimes. Should I just move to carnivore?
Try it, but get a hernia study done
Can you (or have you) talked about the other end of the GI system? I have Lynch, MSH6, and would like to know your insights.
Thank you!!
