I have been misdiagnosed for allergies for years (8 y.). I was just diagnosed with Gerd last year. I am being pumped with anti acid medication. I hate it. After listening to Dr. AVIV, I realize it was a pepsin beginner and now has turned into Gerd. Thank you for explaining - in detail- what acid reflux is and how it differs from pepsin. All my systems were upper until the put me on anti-acid medications.
Look up foods that cause acid reflux and look into food combining and don't lie down. Stop the toxic medication if you wish to be healthy and not get Alzheimer's.
After seeing this, I immediately followed Dr. Aviv's recommendations. Within just 48 hours I felt so much better!!! Have been WFPB since 2012, but in 2015 started having GI problems. Was diagnosed with Acid Reflux. I was quite confused, because I thought that eating WFPB would have prevented this. Now I know from Dr. Aviv that even some of the healthiest foods on a WFPB diet needs to be tweaked. I had gone to 6 gastrointestinal doctors. Five of them never mentioned diet and the 6th one wanted me to go back to SAD! I am hoping, Chef AJ, that you can come up with and share recipes that are low acid, SOS WFPB. Only about 10% of the recipes in his books are. The community would be so very grateful!!!!
I found this so interesting but I have to say I was disappointed when I got his cookbook and found recipes were not WFPB compliant. Maybe I missed something here that said he wasn't plant based. Hopefully as you said Chef AJ can come up with low acid recipes!
@@marypfender9984if you read his book he does include lean poultry, fish & eggs - although he does say only if you have no issues with them. Chef AJ has invited him because even some vegans have Acid Reflux or LPR, and his diet does contain enough vegetables & some fruit that plant-based eaters can create meals with.
I’m a patient of dr. Aviv . Great doctor, his knowledge is a life saver, living in Florida I’m lucky to find him because no one could help me here. I use his both cook books. ❤ always thankful.
I just had my first jump up episode the other night where I was woken up out of a dead sleep unable to breath. It was so scary. Glad to hear a doctor talk about their experience with jump up. This discussion is so helpful.
CAN SOMEONE PLEASE create a whole foods plant-based recipe and meal plan book based on Dr. Aviv’s low acid guide?!?!? I have The Acid Watcher Diet book and its pH lists of foods, but I’m so lost on what to eat to be nutritionally balanced and tasty!
Great interview! Another consideration which wasn’t touched upon is to address the tone of the Vagus nerve. Cranial nerve X innervates the pharynx ,the lower esophageal sphincter etc… Addressing the tone and input into the nervous system could possibly help many . I will definitely pick up Dr. Aviv’s book ..Thanks Chef AJ!
So wonderful, so proud to be a Chef AJ follower, I think I have watched every episode every episode since November 2019 when I went plant based because of you Chef AJ. I went off Nexium acid blocker within three weeks! Haven’t used it since. This was fantastic and look forward to you two working together xxx
I have been vegan since 2011 and have never been able to fix my reflux issues. I've actually found it especially difficult to enjoy eating WFPB because so many of the recipes call for tomato-based products or lots of onion or garlic or vinegar to make things taste better. A WFPB Acid-Free cookbook would sincerely be a god-send. I have Dr. Aviv's book but there aren't really very many vegan recipes. If you made one, I would pay like $500 for it at this point haha. Please :)
Most of the vegans I met are buying many packaged foods with so many ingredients. I’m not vegan but I cooked for a vegan before and he was blown away by what I prepared. Suggest you spend some time in a food coop, Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods or one of those lovely fresh farmers markets Get creative and check out vegan videos.
I am on the acid watcher diet AND I AM SYMPTOM FREE! I have never felt this great in years. Is it hard to do ? yes it is, its not an easy road to change your eating habits but doable and when you reach that point of feeling better, no more chest pains, heartburn, nausea, bloating, skin breakouts to name a few, the journey is soo worth it! And I lost alot of unhealthy weight as well! The book provides some menu samples and you can adjust it to your preferences easily becuase Dr Aviv provides you with permitted foods list, so use your imagination and have fun and feel great 😊
I bought his book the 28 day acid reflux diet - great book. Also bought the cookbook which had lots of recipes with olive oil, chicken and salmon. Sending cookbook back.
Im only half way through but i hope he can clear up the issue of stomach acid. My doctors says reflux is caused by high acid and prescribes me ppis, but i look on the interweb and all over the place its being said that actually its low acid. So now im in a fuddle.
When I got off the school bus this morning, whilst listening to this... I was coughing and mucusing (lol) And now I've learned that I need to neutralise foods to get rid of that mucus!!! Wow!
@@struthadragon8656 , soy milk, tofu & soy products make mucus. Go without them for 21 days & see what happens. I'm working on a mucus free life. Got a sinus infection back after 4 years clean from eating too many flour products & drinking oat milk.
What can I take for acid reflux silent Gerd! I have no gallbladder as well! I usually take ACV, then Oxbile and a Betaine HCL or a digestive enzyme and Tudca! Don't know what else to do! I have the burning in my throat and upper chest area, after I have eaten. I eat vegetables and very little meat or poultry! I don't drink soda pop have never liked carbonated drinks or alcohol. I am very careful of what I eat. I don't know what else to do.Someone said I may have celiac or gluten allergies! Can that be what it is.
My wife suffers from oral facial granulomatosis, a disease with mouth lesions that is attributed to an autoimmune situation. She is also taking a low dose of a PPI for reflux. The problem with the PPI is that it might increase autoimmune problems. There is no study that I can find that definitely associated GERD with OFG ... But I think there could well be a relation and that an Acid Watchers Diet could help her (and also my severe GERD).
I have cleared my throat frequently since childhood. Now in adulthood I'm diagnosed with GERD based on a cough (and still clear my throat). No one scoped me. But I accept this but PPI's did not help me (now I"ve learned they only work 12 hours and you are supposed to take them at night). I'm excited to buy Dr. Aviv's book (which I just did) .
I have LP R. What works for me is lemon water first in the morning and one T of apple cider before dinner. The rest is very clean green diet. Absolutely no drugs.
What do you consider as a clean green diet? Because I’ve been trying to get this out of my system for sometimes now.. and how long do you have to be on the diet to feel better from what you are dealing with.?
I noticed this is 11 months old , has a knew recipe book come out between you and the Dr . I just brought the book and found this very interesting, thank you
Thanks so much for this! So useful! I think I’ve had reflux for years and because it is silent I blamed allergies. Only recently since watching Chef AJ have I started to notice how food and drink affects my “huffing” and listening to this doctor it totally makes sense.
Chef Aj you are my role model I’m Indian living out of India and one day hopefully I will meet you I learn everyday from you YOU ARE ISPIRATIONAL Much gratitude n thanks
Thank you so very much for having Dr. Aviv. My primary reason for following Chef AJ and doing a WFPB lifestyle is controlling my reflux. Losing weight is important but not as primary. This diet has made an amazing difference for me. I first read Dr. Aviv's book about 5 years ago and it changed my life. I have been bringing together Chef AJ's recipes with Dr. Aviv's recommendations and my own knowledge of my body. Thank you thank you thank you!
I don't tolerate any of the reflux medications. I have found that by watching my diet (WFPB) I lost weight just by watching my diet - that's why I say that losing weight is not my focus but rather my lifestyle around food is my focus. It's clear to me that eating plant-based makes a big difference in my reflux.
@@hannalyons4376 I’m so glad for you. I’m looking into the alginates (algae based supplements) to see if they could help with my uncomfortable symptoms. And I’ve heard people mention taking digestive enzymes when they eat. That’s why I asked, so I could see if there was anything else you’re taking that helps.
Chef AJ excellent video, did I hear correctly that tomatoes are okay for acid reflux? if so great news as I have been told they should be avoided if you have Gerd.
Son's ENT refused to even examine him on a follow-up appointment as soon as they heard he did not take the prescribed PPI, but instead went with holistic helps: diet changes and supplements.
Thanks for this video. I guess what was discussed here is about having acid reflux with high acidity level in the stomach. But what if there’s low acidity level that also causes acid reflux.
Fantastic interview. I suffer from lifelong asthma/allergies and most recently (last 5 years) have been diagnosed with GERD. Upper endoscopy revealed the start of Barrett's esophagus as well (thankfully followup endoscopy no longer showed signs of that). I've been on Prilosec ever since that first endoscopy. Don't know how to spell Dr. Aviv's "huffing/coughing" but I do that ALL DAY LONG. Always thought it was more allergy based but now I realize it is probably the opposite. Definitely going to grab his book and learn more about how to better eat or neutralize certain foods to still enjoy them occasionally.
It’s interesting the different approaches from different doctors. Dr Wright thinks it’s caused by food allergies. I suppose it could be for some people.
I would like to suggest a quick & easy alternative approach that might work for you. Just drink a couple glasses of water and jump up and down for a couple minutes to jiggle the stomach back down to its normal position. No harm or cost in giving this approach a try. You should know quickly, in a couple days, if this approach helps. Forty years ago, I did an activity which forced part of my stomach up through or past the diaphragm. It was a couple months later that I suddenly started having severe stomach pains. I was initially misdiagnosed by a doctor as having ulcers. It was a couple of years of misery before I realized that the doctor was wrong and I had gastric reflux disease, or GERD. GERD often happens naturally without a clear cause, especially with older people. Normally, the esophagus sphincter and the diaphragm sphincter muscles line up and reinforce each other. If part of the stomach is pushed or pulled up through the diaphragm, the two sphincter muscles don’t line up and stomach acid can more easily leak into the esophagus, causing GERD. Other people suggest drinking warm or hot water to relax the muscles, I would suggest cold water so that the heavy water will stay in the stomach longer. I would also suggest doing it first thing in the morning so the volume of water won’t dilute the digestion process of other food. It may take a repeat on a few successive days for the esophagus to adapt to the new longer length for the stomachs to stay in its new proper position. I would repeat the process anytime I got heartburn or acid taste in my mouth. I have been trouble free for over 35 years now, and can eat anything I want and take no meds for anything. I later learned of a gastroenterologist in Michigan who recommends this process also; maybe others now also. The body needs strong hydrochloric acid in the stomach to trigger the esophageal sphincter to close, to break down bulk foods generally, and to separate protein into the amino acid components to be effectively absorbed from the small intestines for use to make new proteins our body needs. Most or all GERD medicines block the production of or neutralize the hydrochloric acid which then interferes with protein digestion and interferes with esophageal sphincter closing. Both of those actions are counterproductive.
I have all the symptoms mentioned. And I have had my gallbladder removed. MD always prescribed PPI. They kill stomach's good bacteria. I don't take them and I suffer. I am eager to try food as meds.
I actually got gastritis from spicy pumpkin seeds on an empty stomach for the entire summer. Also, I put powdered ginger in warm water every night before bed. About the same time. Been suffering for four months now. I have been plant based for seven years. Try to get plant protein that doesn’t cause gas. 😕 I also did lots of vinegar.
Plan on going on an overseas adventure soon. Has anyone got any ideas on how to cope with different time zones? When i wake up in the morning where i am travelling people are asleep. Should i become noctornal? Its really scary especially when i may not be able to have oatmeal or a aviv berry smoothie to wake people up at 3 am. May not even be able to bring the blender should i instead for breakfast just have fruit and milk for breakfast or should i take the long way out and just go overseas for 24 to 48 hours??? But the expenses are way above going on a cruise. Should i just forget about the wole thing????
This is so interesting to me. All he talks about with the throat and even the shortness of breath is what I deal with. I've have my esophagus stretched due to trouble swallowing and choking. WFPB has helped me a lot, however I do still have some of the symptoms he describes. I plan on getting his book. AJ, is there any way he could recommend a Dr. in my area since I am in Pa. I've yet to find a specialist who addresses my concerns in this way. Thank you for any help you have to offer.
Thank you Chef AJ...this interview was so interesting. I have the throat clearing issue and excess mucous. No idea it is due to acid reflux...and guess what I have been doing every morning for years and years????..drinking lemon juice in my green tea!! Won't be doing that anymore.😊
#double check greek yogurt im not sure if and when we are allowed to have greek yogurt but to replace donuts use regular wholemeal toast and buy a donut shape cutter. Spread the yogurt on the toast which should be in the shape of a donut and add fruit on top and remember those delicious krispy kremes that look amazing are fake, they are not real dispising how good looking they taste or look. As the saying goes if its too good to be true it probably is. My partner last night taught me the expression " as you sow, so shall you reap". A few minutes of food pleasures leads to a month of unpleasant stomache displeasures.
How is everyone coping with cravings sugar and non sugar for example hot dogs or a soft drink even tar tar sauce on fish or fried chicken? I use to wait 3 days for my cravings to stabilise and then satisfy them if they persist after 3 days but now i am working on doing this 3 weeks to a month. Has anyone got any tips and when is the best time to satisfy the craving if the cravings persist as a acid reflux sufferer.
Thank G-D for Dr Aviv´s helpful tips !!! After following his open-sharing of facts over food properties, 3 of those, from my first meal after that, from last night till today, my digestive system finds remarkable relief which had been suffering for months and years. Blessings from ABOVE, HE will sustain you, surely. Thank you so much, Dr Aviv !
I have a chronic cough and I keep clearing my throat. I do not have heart burn. I always loose my voice. My gastrointestinal dr say that my acid reflex is not that bad.
Thank you doctor for the professionalism with which you do your job. You listen to your client and you always put their needs first, to ensure they live another day healthy and vibrant. Cheers to you my doctor, I celebrate the way you do your job. If it was up to me I would give you the award of being the best doctor. Thank you Dr Emovon on UA-cam for curing my bad breath and acid reflex naturally.😊
A brilliant idea for the future would be holiday seasons summer autumn winter spring but things like acid reflux birthdays, easter, halloween, xmas and etc. But maybey also turned into books it would mske a great acid watcher collection. Also apple donuts are becoming popular instead of bread apple slices with fruit toppings are being used on top instead. Cant wait to try them next week. I am feeling so well now i do want a donut binge but i refuse Becuase i am feeling way to good. My control for food is brilliant now. Got groceries delivered and someone gave me the wrong groceries a massive block of my favourite chocolate was sent to me by mistake i immediately put it back in the bag and have given the groceries to my neighbours. The acid watcher diet is not the book i wanted it was the book i needed. Thanks guys.
I started two tablespoons apple cider vinegar in the morning empty stomach three weeks ago and I never had to take prescribed PPI. I think everyone needs to listen to their body because carbonated water and kombucha aggravated symptoms for me. Kombucha is good stuff but the carbonation didn’t agree with me. PPIs are known to cause osteoporosis, so trying a cure naturally is worth the effort.
Thank you doctor to help us aware and guide us to be healthy i have question when I get up in the morning I have bitter mouth and yellow I would like to know if its bad or is it curable I am vegan and eat only once a day e have my food at 3pm not after 5pm so please give your opinion on my bitter morning salaiva thanks God bless you
Dr. Aviv’s book and diet helped me heal! I modified the diet to make it vegan, and I love the idea of the two of you collaborating. Yes!!
im just learning about this diet as a vegan id love to hear more about what youve tried

Where did you get it ?
I have been misdiagnosed for allergies for years (8 y.). I was just diagnosed with Gerd last year. I am being pumped with anti acid medication. I hate it. After listening to Dr. AVIV, I realize it was a pepsin

I would also suggest doing it first thing in the morning so the volume of water won’t dilute the digestion process of other food. It may take a repeat on a few successive days for the esophagus to adapt to the new longer length for the stomachs to stay in its new proper position. I would repeat the process anytime I got heartburn or acid taste in my mouth. I have been trouble free for over 35 years now, and can eat anything I want and take no meds for anything. I later learned of a gastroenterologist in Michigan who recommends this process also; maybe others now also.
The body needs strong hydrochloric acid in the stomach to trigger the esophageal sphincter to close, to break down bulk foods generally, and to separate protein into the amino acid components to be effectively absorbed from the small intestines for use to make new proteins our body needs. Most or all GERD medicines block the production of or neutralize the hydrochloric acid which then interferes with protein digestion and interferes with esophageal sphincter closing. Both of those actions are counterproductive.
Good
I have all the symptoms mentioned. And I have had my gallbladder removed. MD always prescribed PPI. They kill stomach's good bacteria. I don't take them and I suffer. I am eager to try food as meds.
I actually got gastritis from spicy pumpkin seeds on an empty stomach for the entire summer. Also, I put powdered ginger in warm water every night before bed. About the same time. Been suffering for four months now. I have been plant based for seven years. Try to get plant protein that doesn’t cause gas. 😕 I also did lots of vinegar.
Drink celery juice on an empty stomach try for seven days
Great show, thank you!!! I learned so much.

So basically quit the medicines and adapt to healthy alkaline food habits. And most important HAVE PATIENCE! ❤
No mention of hiatus hernia in this book, at least not in the index !
Amazing doctor will buy books !!
Plan on going on an overseas adventure soon. Has anyone got any ideas on how to cope with different time zones? When i wake up in the morning where i am travelling people are asleep. Should i become noctornal? Its really scary especially when i may not be able to have oatmeal or a aviv berry smoothie to wake people up at 3 am. May not even be able to bring the blender should i instead for breakfast just have fruit and milk for breakfast or should i take the long way out and just go overseas for 24 to 48 hours??? But the expenses are way above going on a cruise. Should i just forget about the wole thing????
What about having a decaf Coffee???
I usually eat last meal between 5 & 6 yet get reflux in the night?

This is so interesting to me. All he talks about with the throat and even the shortness of breath is what I deal with. I've have my esophagus stretched due to trouble swallowing and choking. WFPB has helped me a lot, however I do still have some of the symptoms he describes. I plan on getting his book. AJ, is there any way he could recommend a Dr. in my area since I am in Pa. I've yet to find a specialist who addresses my concerns in this way. Thank you for any help you have to offer.

What about excess antibiotic use? Can those start LPR?
Another very interesting, informative show! Thank you!
Our pleasure!
When I drink lime or lemon water it is supposed to be good to the body as a alkaline beverage
Why can't our GP'S get onto this information? Took me years to find this solution.
Thank you Chef AJ...this interview was so interesting. I have the throat clearing issue and excess mucous. No idea it is due to acid reflux...and guess what I have been doing every morning for years and years????..drinking lemon juice in my green tea!! Won't be doing that anymore.😊

#double check greek yogurt im not sure if and when we are allowed to have greek yogurt but to replace donuts use regular wholemeal toast and buy a donut shape cutter. Spread the yogurt on the toast which should be in the shape of a donut and add fruit on top and remember those delicious krispy kremes that look amazing are fake, they are not real dispising how good looking they taste or look. As the saying goes if its too good to be true it probably is. My partner last night taught me the expression " as you sow, so shall you reap". A few minutes of food pleasures leads to a month of unpleasant stomache displeasures.
How can I get Dr Aviv's book on reflux?
It's available on Amazon.
Awesome doctor!!!! I wish he were here in the Tampa Bay area. I'm ordering the new cookbook asap.
You are the best Dr. Aviv. Really the best.
Very informative!

Thanks for explaining the neutralizing the a ids with foods…
How is everyone coping with cravings sugar and non sugar for example hot dogs or a soft drink even tar tar sauce on fish or fried chicken? I use to wait 3 days for my cravings to stabilise and then satisfy them if they persist after 3 days but now i am working on doing this 3 weeks to a month. Has anyone got any tips and when is the best time to satisfy the craving if the cravings persist as a acid reflux sufferer.
I wish someone would write a book on gastroparesis/gerd/gluten/dairy free and sibo friendly plant based book! 😢 I want beans lol
Red apples are a natural remedy for acid reflux. Eat red apples for a few days and you will see positive results.
Thank G-D for Dr Aviv´s helpful tips !!! After following his open-sharing of facts over food properties, 3 of those, from my first meal after that, from last night till today, my digestive system finds remarkable relief which had been suffering for months and years. Blessings from ABOVE, HE will sustain you, surely. Thank you so much, Dr Aviv !
What where your symptoms before
I have a chronic cough and I keep clearing my throat. I do not have heart burn. I always loose my voice. My gastrointestinal dr say that my acid reflex is not that bad.
Search for Serious Keto on YT, apple cider helped me. Take small steps thou cut back on acidic and processed food.
great video
When I was in junior high school, many decades ago, the home ec teacher put a tooth in coke. The coke dissolved it.
Thank you doctor for the professionalism with which you do your job. You listen to your client and you always put their needs first, to ensure they live another day healthy and vibrant. Cheers to you my doctor, I celebrate the way you do your job. If it was up to me I would give you the award of being the best doctor. Thank you Dr Emovon on UA-cam for curing my bad breath and acid reflex naturally.😊
A brilliant idea for the future would be holiday seasons summer autumn winter spring but things like acid reflux birthdays, easter, halloween, xmas and etc. But maybey also turned into books it would mske a great acid watcher collection. Also apple donuts are becoming popular instead of bread apple slices with fruit toppings are being used on top instead. Cant wait to try them next week. I am feeling so well now i do want a donut binge but i refuse Becuase i am feeling way to good. My control for food is brilliant now. Got groceries delivered and someone gave me the wrong groceries a massive block of my favourite chocolate was sent to me by mistake i immediately put it back in the bag and have given the groceries to my neighbours. The acid watcher diet is not the book i wanted it was the book i needed. Thanks guys.
Great talk😊

How do you deal with 3cm lower esophageal sphincter gap?
For a medical question: help@chefaj.com
Most « experts » recommend apple cider vinegar for reflux.
I started two tablespoons apple cider vinegar in the morning empty stomach three weeks ago and I never had to take prescribed PPI. I think everyone needs to listen to their body because carbonated water and kombucha aggravated symptoms for me. Kombucha is good stuff but the carbonation didn’t agree with me. PPIs are known to cause osteoporosis, so trying a cure naturally is worth the effort.
Can acid reflux also cause a sense of mouth burning/metallic tasting saliva?
