The major thing that helped me was to chew my food until it turned into a liquid before swallowing. This helped close my esophogus where the acid was coming through. I am losing weight and my stomach is shrinking and my brain was still wired to eat large amount of foods and really fast as well. I didn't know how much overeating I was doing until I slowed down and I realized after actually chewing longer that I was getting full very quickly... and before this, I was literally overstuffing myself. Since I've been chewing longer, half my plate is full when I have to stop. Blew my mind.
You are 100 percent right! I notice a huge difference after just starting to slow down and chew down to liquid. I use to eat so fast and not chewing all the way. Also stress triggers my flare ups big time so stress definitely plays a role
Acid reflux is such a pain psychologically, especially when you are trying to gain muscle mass. It's like your body is violently telling you what to do, what to eat, how to live, etc.
I'm in the same pot mate, I have built some huge gym muscle and now I have lost everything because I can't eat and not eating enough means weight loss.... Horrible experience
Hi Dr Josh, long story short, I was praying cuz I had really bad heartburn and constipated, while newly diving into a fully raw vegan diet. Getting rid of old junk eating patterns! I thought of ACV and was concerned if it would make it worse. But this video and Braggs website confirmed to get it. I can say, within the first day, heartburn was gone. Within the second day, all constipation was gone. What a Glorious and easy breakthrough! :-) I used two tablespoons Braggs Raw Apple Cider Vinegar in a cup of water 3 times a day, reducing to once in the morning, as symptoms greatly improved. I'm a new subscriber. :-) Hallelujah! God Bless you, for the quick and easy and simple tips!! Shalom! :-)
I have been suffering from acid reflux with stomach pain and chest pain for the past 9 months! I go through pain every day! I do not know what else to do! I've been taking so many antibiotics and nothing... I wasn't going to work anymore, until I came across Dr. Emovon on UA-cam. 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 acid reflux....👍👍👍👍
I have been sharing this information with others for over 15 years. It is so good to hear it from someone else. my husband can eat whatever he wants even before bed time with no pain. He suffered for 20 years before he met me and found out how to be pain free.
Acid reflux was keeping me up several nights a week. Prilosec kind of worked as long as I took one every twelve hours, but could always feel the possibility the acid reflux could really flare up. I didn't like the long term side effects of Prilosec and needed a better solution. I found this video, tried it, and by the second day of taking the digestive enzymes and apple cider vinegar I never had a problem again. It's been over two months now. While I don't take the enzymes regularly, I've come to really enjoy the apple cider vinegar on it's own. Since I've started I've never had a flare up or any of the other problems that comes with reflux (bloating, gas, etc). Life is good.
Great to hear that you've healed. So ACV seems to help. I'm trying PPI ' s right now . And it's helping , but don't want be on it for an extended time .
Never in a billion years did I think I would end up with a health condition. Every single doctor visit I've had, I was healthy. But last year changed it all for me...boom....acid reflux. And it sucks....big time.
@@tabularasa968 I cut back alot on anything citus tomato based items and sodas. If I do drink a soda, it will be a the small mini cans of soda and chase it with water. It helps me 🤷
it makes me happy to read these comments knowing that other people are dealing with what im dealing with. i wake up for school, and feel VERY nauseous and dizzy. i usually end up throwing up acid :( hate acid reflux
You are 100% spot on but you dont need me to tell you that. My heartburn started with big Rueben sandwiches (high fat) and too much sandwich. The intense, painful burning was so bad I thought i would have to call 9-1-1. Acid reflux was hands down the WORST thing I have ever experienced. I am gonna say it again... It was the worst thing I have ever experienced. It lasted about a month and then vanished. I could not go through it again. I researched everything. My doctor put me on acid reducers! Wrong! I eventually found my way to Digestive Enzymes and it changed everything. Smaller portions, chew your food, enzymes, lose weight. I dont know if there are different pain levels to acid reflux but my heart goes out to anyone who has the bad one. You cant even describe how bad it is. Listen to this guy. He knows what he is talking about.
A lot of people are addicted to Soda / I think a good way to quit Soda and get some good Acids is to also consider Kumbocha in addition to Apple Cider Vinegar, I made Vinegar from Pears and that seems to also works just as good as Apple.
@@karlhans6678 the acid is not the problem, you need acid to properly digest the food... There is bacteria in your gut that is eating all the junk food you eat and it's producing hydrogen gas, it opens the one way valve and releases the acid, you need to also change the pH to get rid of this bad bacteria, so also consume probiotics, kumbocha is what really helped me.
Does anybody else have tightness in the chest? It feels like there's a lump in my chest. It's not painful just uncomfortable. I've had my heart checked and it's healthy so I ruled that out.
IS BEEN 6 MONTH SEEM MY GRANDMA HAVE ANY EPISODE OF ACID REFLECT SHE CHANGE HER DIET AND FOLLOW YOUR ADVISE AND THE ADVISE OF HER DOCTOR , THANK YOU FOR HELPING MY GRANDMA
Man some people are so critical anymore. I appreciate your info and you repeating yourself sometimes. It helps me because then i don't have to stop the video and back track. Some people just need more patience. ;) I think you have great videos that are very useful and honest. Keep doing what you're doing, and I'm going to keep watching!
here's several things for reducing heartburn at home Ensure you consume enough water. cut down on tomatoes cut down on citrus fruit eg lemons, oranges cut down on smoking, drinking alchol or caffeinated drinks (I read these and the reasons they work on Alinn heartburn relief website )
Dr Axe, I want to say THANK YOU A LOT !! I had acid reflux since april, and after visiting a gastroenterologist, she put me on PPI (pantoprazole); I took it around two months, with strict diet ... and nothing, the reflux was still there. searching on the internet, I found your blog where you talk about the danger of PPI's, the importance of diet and THE SUPLEMMENTATION WITH HCL BETAINE & PEPSIN. So, I started reading about that supplement, reading reviews on amazon, and I dedided to buy a bottle. I stopped taking pantoprazole and I started taking HCL Beatine With pepsine... after 4 DAYS the reflux was gone, my body change a lot, I feel with more energy than before. Basically, my stomach acid was low and I had to increance my acid to have a good digestion (something that my doctor didn't check before put me on PPI; I think they almost never check that). I can not believe that a simple pill can change that so incredibly. I really appreciate your information and your time to teach us about healt. I'm eternally grateful. thanks again and best wishes from Argentina.
I have a severe esophageal stricture from acid reflux. Im currently taking medication for acid reflux but it seems to be making it worse. I've tried to stop taking it and I get awful heartburn. I'm not really sure what to do. It's terrible ..I'm always nauseous and have this intense burning throughout my entire stomache and even in my throat. I'm miserable. I'm only able to eat very soft foods like yogurt or ice cream because of my stricture. Im so malnourished and have lost almost 20 lbs. I've been like this for over a year because I only recently found out that I have a stricture. I've tried Apple cider vinegar and it didn't help me at all unfortunately. My heart goes out to anyone suffering from this
Important addition from my experience : for someone who has acid reflux, the lower part of the eshopagus is wounded. To heal that wound, don't consume food that can irritate that part for awhile until it healed, and vegetables and apple cider vinegar is one of them to avoid.

I have acid reflux and my chest area is sore as well. When I try to do a deep breath to calm myself, I can feel the soreness very much so. Last year I was told by my doctor I had costochondritis. Which is the feeling I'm getting right now. I also end up stressing at the same time, so it causes my heart to go fast as well sometimes. This started when I was drinking Tea while standing up. The reason why I was standing was that I was helping out with something at the time at home. All of a sudden I felt a cramp in my left side. After I felt it, I kept breathing deeply to try and relax it. It ended up turning into a sharp pain afterwards. The sharp pain stopped after a while, but I'm still stressed, as I feel sore.
I got diagnosed with H. Pylori. I took 14 days of therapy with antibiotics. After I finished my treatment, I started having horrible acid reflux and burning in my stomach and esofagus. I have tried lemongrass, fennel, ginger, turmeric, and oregano, but I don't feel any different. I tried ACV, and it was really hard to overcome the acidity at night.
Great video. I wish had seen this years ago. Most dr.'s only want to put you on things like Nexium, etc. This Dr. actually cared to get to the real problem. Looking forward to give this a try!
@Satisfying Slime DIY check out a tama named lady.. She has a $35.00 reflux program that I bought and am going to start. It's very strict, but should address h pylori. But you have to buy supplements too. Here's the thing, this has just been dragging on for me with no end in sight. Oh, not to mention I'm addicted to sugar. My h pylori test came back negative, but cut all sugar out of your diet if your have h pylori as sugar feeds it.
I have terrible acid reflux and had to cut out my favorite spicy foods and sugar. Ok sugar every now and then cuz I'm a sucker. I drink apple cider three times a day. Keep it at my bedside. Ive had to change my way of sleeping and my eating patterns. It really helps. I also drink my probiotics and that works wonders as well.
currently 4:33 a.m. Woke up with the feeling of something coming up my throat (I have emetophobia so anything like that is scary for me) so now it isn't the actual acid reflux, Its the fear of vomiting 😖
I had this prb...the more you think the more you will have it..just relax and over come your fear,anger,overthinking...stay busy with friends and creative work.
I have the same fear, my body is now rejecting the thought of vomiting so it's for me even though vomiting could ease the feeling I can't my body doesn't want to
Braggs organic ACV is what I use too. I had gotten off my PPIs (Prevacid) because they left me deficient in vitamin D, B-complex, and likely magnesium as well (the first two were confirmed by blood work). The reflux rebound was rough. I had changed my diet but highly dense foods like carrots would kill me. Some random guy on FB was going on about vinegar and balancing PH. So I took a swig of balsamic vinegar, which was all I had. It burned hard for a moment and then the relief was significant. Been a vinegar user ever since and picked up some Braggs soon after. .
I was a sufferer of heartburn, chest pain and acid reflux but right after following this heartburn treatment HeartBurnCure9.blogspot.com , all those issues were fully gone. I also cured my constant fatigue and rushes due to it. I really feel great and at the peak of my health.?
I have tried so hard to drink vinegar ACV, but after a day or so when it gets under my nose I start to gag- and that is with or without mixing it in water.
I've suffer from acid reflux for along time started taking apple cider vinegar because I had a yeast infection but didn't know it can help with my acid reflux wow thanks Dr.
*Who didn't have Gerd before Covid 19?* The general 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.
I am short of breath for weeks now. Sometimes I wake up at night and I palpitate and i shake and i feel suffocated. I went to the doctor and they told me that I have GERD or Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease. Does anyone ever experience this?
Consider checking out dr.bergs videos, I’ve found helpful. Sometimes palpitations at night may be a sign of a hiatus hernia. Also low magnesium. I have silent reflux, which has been hard to pinpoint due to no heartburn. Also know as LPR, esophageal reflux. I’ve started taking betaine and Apple cider before meals, also daily magnesium. Dr.berg, and also Thomas DeLauer have been very helpful. And no, I’m not on keto.
Yes yes yes. I thought I had some kind of heart condition, when I woke up and my heart was beating so fast and hard. Then a few days later it happened again. Then I started having pressure in my chest . A week after that I felt like I had a lump in my throat. My doctor diagnosed me with gerd
Yes I have this too, it's terrible! I went from a healthy person to having this problem. I pray to God everyday to heal me completely from this. I also experience a constant sore throat (everyday), lump in throat feeling sometimes, shortness of breath, pain behind my upper back area ( no idea why). I am taking Gaviscon at the moment, my ENT diagnosed me with silent reflux. Anyway I'm also going to try the Apple Cider vinegar.
@@stacey5204 Hey Stacey, wondering if you have tried the apple cider vinegar? I am interested to know if it helps you, because I have shortness of breath as well from my gerd
A week ago they said I had GERD also, I was experiencing a burning pain in my heat and my chest was so tight I couldn’t sleep well, they prescribed famotidine, which I took the first 2 days and did nothing ! I stopped because of my research of pills actually masking pain and in the long run creating a much more life threatening problem which I figured, so I tried natural things but in the end I’m noticing now like I said it’s been a week and now the past 5 days I’ve been off medication and I can say eating the GERD recommended foods are helping even tho I still feel a slight burn but overall I sometimes feel normal :/ I do wish this never happened :(
Thanks so much! I've had acid reflux for quite some time. Though I didn't know what it was until I decided to go to a throat doctor a few weeks ago. I've gotten sick with the flu at least a couple of times a year, & then it turned into a dry cough. I thought it was just a natural sickness that came several times a year. I'm a music-voice major in college. Therefore, I sing a lot & could barely afford a dry cough. Many people noticed the cough, & were getting worried. They were recommending an ear, nose, & throat doctor, so I agreed. According to the Doctor, the dry cough is from acid reflux. He prescribed me to some medicine & gave me a list of things of what to eat & what to avoid/limit. Since I began taking that into consideration, the cough was getting better. I'm still coughing a little bit, but not like crazy like I was. I'm still taking medicine for it, & I realize it will be a little bit before it's 100% gone, I am patiently working my way there. I also drink a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar in a small glass of water 10 minutes before each meal. Now that you mentioned it, maybe I will try a tablespoon. Thanks again, & blessings.
Recently cured my acid reflux, don’t need to take the meds anymore, all I did was drink kumbocha and Greek yogurt, I also cut back junk food a lot, I still eat peanut m&ms... but no soda, Kimbocha also helped me kick that habit... it didn’t happen over night, took a solid month to turn it around...
Ray Kodiak HI. Well I'm suffering from gerd from last 2 weeks. And I think the medicines are making the symptoms worse. Just want to know for how long you were suffering from acid reflux?
Nemo Langching the medicine helped me a lot, to start feeling good again... but it lasted for a while, maybe like 2-3 months, Then I started to brew kumbocha again and drinking, also started to eat Greek yogurt for breakfast, those were the two major changes I made.. then I started to half my medicine for a few weeks, then one day I stopped and it didn’t come back, I guess I started to exercise as well.. and lost like 15 lbs.
Nemo Langching also, when you excecise your throat will get dry if you still have acid reflux and you want to drink water to relieve the throat burn, as I kept to exercise more, I felt it was getting better and better...
@@rompstar how long since you started kombucha your symptoms were gone? Because, if somebody has reflux and he is starting to drink kombucha, but the reflux after week is still there, does it mean it doesn't work or it takes a longer time to see the results and you just have to continue to drink kombucha? Because, after apple cider vinegar, there is an acid feeling in the mouth half a day around teeth. ...
I so want to overcome this!! I’ve had this since my early 30’s. Been on a proton pump suppressor for approx. 15 yrs. I’ve just stopped taking it and trying to live with the heartburn. It’s hit and miss, but I’ll try things like this. I can say that when it’s bad, I take ACV with water and it shut’s it down for the most part so I can verify that this works. Thanks for this content.
Don't wait for when it's "bad". Take apple cider vinegar and Betaine enzymes Before meals. Stop eating triggers, chocolate coffee citrus etc. and get a wedge pillow. A wedge pillow is comfortable and keeps your head elevated during the night
@@kpackard1 Forgot about this comment I made 9 months ago. Update: I’ve been off my PPI’s ever since. I learned how to manage and I’ve been doing what you outlined for the most part. I have found that HCL during the meal works great and sometimes, I’ll still get a touch of GERD, I then pop a single HCL or take a shot of raw ACV. Avoiding processed foods plays a YUGE part in controlling it as well. Happy to report that I’m now off those drugs. Cheers.
I have it too, if you investigate you will see that digestive problems can cause sleep disorders this things are very connected. Our digestive system is way more important than doctors thought few years ago
Me too. Got both just like you and life is pretty miserable. Doing all those things like this video plus sleeping on an incline. The insomnia just compounds everything. Hope you've improved.
I read an article that this is associated with staying on the phone right before bed time. Take a 30min break to relax because the brain thinks its day time so it messes up your eating schedule.
I had antibiotics doxycycline afew weeks ago before this I never had acid reflux. I now have acid reflux because of these antibiotics I am in so much pain I went to hospital yesterday 😫 they have given me 1 month worth of medicine. I just hope this is not permanent 🙏 . I am a health freak and do everything right. Am gutted
@The beast im finding acv with the mother is helping, its been 2 days now, take b4 meals, then take a digestive enzyme tab after meals x 3 times per day.
@@maggiemayjohnson498 I was 116 lbs in December now I’m like 106 lbs its February. I have acid reflux since January still have it I never ever thought I would get acid reflux you see people drinking smoking and don’t even have it
I can drink coffee again! I had to stop for about 3-4 weeks, but doing the above, plus what I list here, got me back on it (not as much per day now though ;) It may or may not work for you: -I would add Caprylic Acid to the supplements. It's good for if you have a fungal overgrowth of yeast (sugar and carbs can feed it). -Calcium citrate and magnesium citrate. I've noticed that caffeine seems to affect the LES it because it causes malabsorptions of these two. I also notice acid reflux as I'm COMING DOWN from my caffeine use. Obviously you can speed up the effects by slowing or stopping your coffee consumption, as well as naturally eating these via some green vegetables. Tums is simply calcium carbonate, but it's good to internally take in calcium as well. - Also a weird exercise: Drink a low/zero sugar carbonated drink and do NOT burp for at least 2 minutes. You'll feel your LES (lower esophageal sphincter) tighten when you hold it down. This is the only way I know to manually flex that muscle, which has been worn down from acid reflux and poor nutrient absorption. I felt relief when I did this, but I would say this is something to try and see if it works for you (may not). Watching this video because I was curious how much it lined up with my process. I've gone through the above process twice, with my last "episode" only lasting a week. I got everything I needed from amazon (plus a multivitamin, just to be safe): NOW Caprylic Acid 600 mg,100 Softgels Digestive Enzymes Plus Prebiotics & Probiotics NOW Betaine HCl 648 mg,120 Capsules Solaray - Calcium Citrate Complex Now Foods Magnesium Citrate Veg-capsules OPTIMUM NUTRITION Opti-Men Good luck!
Dr Axe, PLEASE do a video/study on LPR "the silent reflux" this is different than typical GERD. The LPR sufferers are having the acid go past their heart straight into the esophagus.
And into their throat. Pepsin sits there, waiting for acid vapours, or acid after eating to come up (very loose les). But if you drink anything acidic, the pepsin is activated and your throat begins to digest itself. What an awful thing. Ppi's didn't do anything for me. Ugh. This has been almost two years. And I need to just start drinking banana broccoli smoothies at every meal with coconut probiotic yogurt... Ugh. So hungry.
@@Versiongurl I've been doing the little bit of baking soda with a big glass of water before and after meals and it's been helping. I should look more into alkaline water online.
@@danieade1559 hi how was your condition? I am also having throat problem esp. when I eat spicy and acidic food~ this might be a silent reflux too, i triend to gargle baking soda sln, but there is only a little relief.
Actually I have acid reflux since 4 days but I moves out from acid reflux by 1.eating very small cut of food and chewing it to many times (one says that we have 32 teeth so that we can chew the food up to 32 times) 2.Eating my three times food to six times 3. Walking After food 4.sleeping after 3 hours after dinner 5.get down more and more saliva in stomach 4. Eat some basic food like banana watermelon 5. Avoid spicy and non healty food 6. Sleeping up to some straight And I am fine now after 1 amd 1/2 week
@@Frostyboi300 I drink normal warm water and eat basic food in small quantities such that 3 times food gone to 6 times daily You must avoid the food that cause for the secretion of more acid in stomach and as acid is acid produced you feel better and after a particular time your oesophagus become all right
Education For All hi there, are you still doing those things or now you are back on usuals? When you say that you put saliva in your stomach you mean that you swallow the saliva that is produced? Did you have any symptoms since than? Thans in advance
Wonderful explanation concerning eliminating acid reflux. Esp how to safely add acid & digestive friendly food. I wonder, do we start to sabotage our stomach acid balance when we start to eat what adults eat? I've seen parents give their 2 year old kid, BBQ, burgers etc, pastries, processed sweet cereal, sugary drinks & salty snacks. Is that the beginning of not having enough acid?
i really agree with u dr axe about the low acid thing but i am from singapore and i was having reflux and was on medications from the drs here and was taking ppi and i was suffering my hair was dropping and nausea all i was so lost and helpless as i know it was low acid that cos it so i stop the medications and did not know who to go too i turn myself to tcm chinese medincine and a chinese dr. when i first saw her she told me my body was invade by cold and dampness and is very strong thats y i could not eat much. every thing was falling in my body so i took try with her medications and she told to take only warm water and less oilly food more real food or porridge and do abit of simple exercise and sweat slowly not too heavy cos it will weaken my body . but i need to sweat it out to detox after two months now i am able to eat like a normal person now she told me she wiil go for my kidneys as is cold also as everything starts from a good balance kidney of yin and yang.
all i want to say is food is importnca but also chinese way of herbs are also a very powerful sourse of food as is natural . i also learn alot of chinese drs like walnut is also very good for the kidneys too it will boast the yang of of things and also sunlight has really save me. as i work in the nightlife
i have few curious questions: 1. what about drinking apple cider vinegar when you have ulcers in the esophagus junction due to GERD? i bet this will turn into an erosive esophagus with more acid 2. what about hiatal hernia causing GERD? if you drink apple cider vinegar, then wont you be flaring things up more by adding to your acids? 3. what about the PPI drugs becoming widely used and prescribed by doctors, isnt it contrary to take PPIs and at the same time drink apple cider vinegar which is acidic? 4. last but not least, why do you say in the video that oranges, tomatoes, etc trigger acid reflux while you recommend increasing the acid in the stomach by drinking apple cider vinegar. if oranges and tomatoes trigger reflux because they are acidic, how come some people still recommend to add acid to the stomach by drinking apple cider vinegar?
I *think* the acid in ACV is different than the acid in citrus fruits. As in it more closely matches your stomach acid. But aside from that, yeah I think you have great points. I am hesitant about using ACV as well .. for all the reasons you mentioned, but it will strip the enamel off your teeth pretty quick too.
Yeah i wonder this too , but from what i know ACV is acidic , but in the stomach it leaves an alkaline ash. So not acidic in the stomach but alkaline that's the theory.
@@tabularasa968 I actually talked to my gastroenterolegist and asked him what causes acid reflux. I asked if it was too much acid in the stomach or too much. And he said neither. It comes from the sphincter at the top of the stomach weakening for a variety of reasons and acid from the stomach coming up into the esophagus. He said it really was not a too much or too little acid kind of a thing.
@@bobgunner3086 Yes being in balance will be the best route. But the symptoms can affect you quite . Impact your life. And it requires a lot of lifestyle changes over a long time to go the natural way.
Worst cases of reflux I experienced, now nearly cured, were scary change of my voice, burning throat and even thinning of tooth that my dentist applied amalgam
Thanks doctor Axe. I completely forgot about digestive enzymes. I use to take those once upon a time they did help but,, I stopped taking those and did all the things I shouldn't have done ...I will definitely purchase those in the near future.👍👍
The very first things you should do if your body doesn't produce enough enzymes or you have any digestive issue is doing a liver cleanse and you will be surprised how many stones will get out of there. I'm doing a liver cleanse using an amazing book by Andreas Moritz, and the very first cleanse changed my life.
Thank you Dr. Axe. I don't suffer from acid reflux during the day, but I've been told I have silent reflux at night, or LPR. I have done most of the lifestyle changes, but still seem to have an issue. I had my gall bladder removed about 15 years ago. Could my reflux be from a lack of bile in digestion, and will digestive enzymes be a good solution? I thought the gall bladder removal was a blessing because before I suffered from heart burn almost everytime I ate. Now it seems only during the night. Thanks.
I would say 99% of the time acid reflux is due to gallstones, tho you dont have any gallbladder. So you most likely have stones blocking in the liver ducts. This is a huge problem that the medical community dont have any treatment for, more then removing the gallbladder. The stomach acid is correlated with issues with the liver and enzymes production. You can look up Andreas moritz for help, or go to curezone homepage "forum" "liver flush".
I been prescribed omeprazole and been taking it for a couple of weeks for my reflux. Do you guys think I'm better off stopping the omeprazole and try the Apple cider vinegar ? Doesn't really sound a good idea to try both at the same time . Appreciate any feedback
avoid coffe,tomato,alcohol especially wines,all food comes with tmato sauce and lot of oil,fried fish,sour fruits,dairy products...all sour food dont eat...balanced your weigth to your body....go to gym....dont eat lot of rice....
Thank you very much for the information🙏🙂 I had very serious throat pain everyday for many years till today..and doctor said it was cause of acid reflux. In recent years..chest stuck couldnt breathe sometimes if I took solid food eg rice..must drink a cup of warm water before each meal. Yup...I always gobbled up my food or skip my meals due to heavy workload in office for 15 years, and didn't know till now, how serious that would affect my health.
Alex Kain ya same man i think the best thing to do is to stop eating 2-3hrs before you go to bed and always take apple cider vinegar 10mins before you eat a full meal as instructed in the video
Thanks for a great video! It amazes me how bad the medication people take for acid reflux is for it! Some of the medicine literally reduces stomach acid and that just makes it worse! I struggled with Gerd and stomach ulcers for about 2 years and I researched every single day for an answer because my medicine wasn't working. Now I know why.
Digestive enzymes corrected my acid reflux and helped with other issues too (e.g., gas, bloating, sluggishness, insomnia and carrying extra weight). Apple cider vinegar occasionally helps, too - instantly - when I eat too much or too much of the wrong things. Thank you for another excellent teaching video!
I have googled it and it says don't consume coffee because of the acid content. I'm not a coffee drinker myself but when they said to eliminate certain tea I about most it. Lol.
So much ppl looking for a cure and just enough ppl here with advertisements and sneaking them in. What a shame. My advice is to heed to Dr. Axe's advice and exercise. Diet and exercise play important roles in our health.
If you have Silent Reflux, I know from experience that apple cider vinegar activates the pepsin in your esophagus and will prolong healing the valves. I haven't tried it in pill from to bypass the throat. Diet change and the digestive enzymes plus probiotics have helped a lot . After three months of experimenting I'm definetly better.
For those experiencing palpitations, nausea, even anxiety from this, especially those who experience no heartburn you may have what I have which is LPR I believe it’s called where gaseous acid leaks up throat (doesn’t burn) and inflamed nasal passages, ears, and cause problems because pepsin is stored in the cells... pepsin is the problem here btw and adding more like this video says would be a bad. I finally got this thing managed... I mix 2 tbl spoons of baking soda and 1 liter of water, I sip this every now and then thru out my day, and I use the same mixture for a nasal spray the baking soda kills the pepsin!
I have GERD accompanied with hiccups. This combination kept me up nights and left me fatigued and irritable. I started eating smaller meals more frequently during the day. Currently, I'm eating six meals a day. I had been overeating when I was doing the three square meals routine. So far, no hiccups or heartburn. I also reduced red meat and hot spices too.
Thank you Dr. Axe, I am 30 years old , I drink 3 cans of diet soda everyday . I drink Turkish coffee every morning . And the result is that I have small hiatal hernia with mild reflux which affecting my voice . People start thinking that I'm upset or something when I talk !! What do u think the best alternative of soda and the coffee ? and do I need to worry about the hiatal hernia ?
Strong coffee and soda is begging for acid reflux to get worse as you age. It did for me. I use moderation now with apple cider vinegar and chew DGL licorice tabs. It helps greatly.
Any tips for a severe acid reflux? I can actually feel the acid in my upper stomach and with that a severe back pain tp to shoulders. These things had me in sweat every night
thanks for the video Sir , what do you say about moringa powder and also should i drink the juice as whole or filtered ?????? Currently i drink oppo squash with cucumber , is it good ??????
Not meaning to be rude, but I don't get why ACV is often recommended. It makes it worse. same with people saying lemon or mint. Stuff destroys my stomach. Everything else you said was helpful though, thank you.
CreativeJustice I too have really bad anxiety and it has affected my acid reflux. Tried everything SSRIs benzodiazepines, and nothing helped if not made it worse. It was only when I got off the medications and only continued to smoke weed while starting therapy to learn how to battle the anxiety and everything has been much better. I recommend counseling
The PPI elevated my anxiety level to the point that I was hyperventilating (panic attack). Once I stopped the PPI, the anxiety level came back to my "normal" level.
@@tinkerbell3667 : It takes weeks to heal the damage of acid reflux. Don't expect a quick healing of your digestive tract. Most of us have been damaging our bodies for years so it takes time to heal.
Hi, i have some low acid's symptoms and as recommended I took an organic apple vinegar spoon before meal, both at lunch as at dinner. however I after the meal I started with burning's symptoms, which is something I had not before. my symptoms were: reflux without burning and fullness even with small amounts, and slow digestion. plus reflux i also have a mild gastritis. May this is why I am with this burning after the vinegar? or I do you should i think i have the opposite, excess acid? What can I consider?
Also, you could have lpr, watch out because you then have pepsin in your throat. You can have both gerd and lpr. And Dr berg is a chiropractor... Not an actual doctor.
I would even say, that taking acv every day for a year may have even contributed to me developing lpr. Thinking it's so darn healthy, but not understanding that with two cups a coffee a day, and being a total stress case closer to when this started, that I might just have a very acidic system that just further damaged my les. Don't get me wrong, if acv works, it works. But it can also equally make you much worse depending on many factors. Find out from a doctor if your stomach ph is more alkaline or acidic.
@@danieade1559 Many chiroprator do take extra classes to practice functional medicine Josh is one with Berg. Dont know if they have 12 yr degree with internship to be called dr.
No oil, vegan diet helped my acid reflux. Small portions throughout the day. After the sun sets I stop eating. 3 hours before bed i dont drink anything. No carbonated drinks, just water. I've always been vegan but an unhealthy one, eating fried junk food alot. But since I changed diet by eating cleaner my body took care of the rest. Hope this helps. Acid reflux sucks. Keeps you up at night, and sometimes randomly vomit in my sleep.
Drink Apple Cider Vinegar Organic Raw Cloudy the Mother. 1 tablespoon & a small amount of water, add fruits vegetables. Remove citrus fruits. Eat a small amount of food at a time, no tomatoes carbohydrates, pastas etc
Have a question for you. My mom get a very thick Fleming in her throat making it very hard to swallow. The Fleming is very thick. Do know what she can do for this?
Yes. Get Amoxicillin, and next time, don't stop taking your heartburn prescription. If you need to try a remedy, make sure to continue taking your medication after trying unless the remedy works for you. Same thing happened to me.. turned out it was a strep throat which was mostly due to not managing my GERD symptoms.
This is my problem allso over 12 months now just been put on beta blocker somac and I have to have gaviscon when going to bed otherwise weezing coughing and Flem bad I allso have duodenal aulsa. I don't get any heartburn at all only sour taste up into my neck marking my eyes water and me gagging for water
Thanks, gonna try out the apple cider, I have lots of it that I never use. Also heard to try have 5 smaller meals instead of 3 large ones. My reflux has gotten really bad and is getting me down... hopefully I can get rid of it because my lansoprazole doesn't seem to be doing its job anymore.
Ughhh I get reflux when I eat acidic foods but it gets 10x worse because I stress over things so easily... my heart is always pounding bc i feel nauseous
I took zantac 20 yrs 4 acid reflux.. but now i take 2 table spoons of apple cider vin everynight in a cup of water. and in 2 days, no acid reflux.. and i no longer take zantac. weeeeeee !!!!!!! o and i tried the stuff from walmart. it was gray on the bottom.. and had a strong vinigar flav. but the stuff u get at he healthfood stores has a redish brown, mother on the bottom and has a strong apple Cider smell to it.. the stuff u buy at the health food stores is much better in my opinion. thanks so much DR. AXE !!!!!!!

THANKS DR. AXE !!!!!!!
Andrew Jones /// have you had any pain in esophagus during eating meals? and the burning sensation was in the chest skin or underneath the chest skin? i used to had bitter water coming to my mouth with belching but that no longer happens now. i have a mild pain in esophagus with swallowing and my skin has a burning sensation.
What about someone with Barrett's Esophagus or people with a lazy lower esophageal sphincter? Adding acid to a problem stomach doesn't make sense, it's not going to fix their problem. Avoiding the triggers like mint of any kind, chocolate and caffeine are crucial but ultimately, they may need Laparoscopic antireflux surgery.
well i can eat whatever i like and i doesnt cause reflux and this video is for people with acid reflux who want too get rid of it quickly (6 weeks max) not people with severe health problems. I got really scared by stuff i read on forums discussing gallbladder removals, breathing issues, cancer and all i wanted was a way to get rid of heartburn/chest pain not too discuss scary surgery.
The major thing that helped me was to chew my food until it turned into a liquid before swallowing. This helped close my esophogus where the acid was coming through. I am losing weight and my stomach is shrinking and my brain was still wired to eat large amount of foods and really fast as well. I didn't know how much overeating I was doing until I slowed down and I realized after actually chewing longer that I was getting full very quickly... and before this, I was literally overstuffing myself. Since I've been chewing longer, half my plate is full when I have to stop. Blew my mind.
You are 100 percent right! I notice a huge difference after just starting to slow down and chew down to liquid. I use to eat so fast and not chewing all the way.
Also stress triggers my flare ups big time so stress definitely plays a role
Well that part of it but if you are eating those banned foods you will still have AR.
I'm try that..bit I also get it when I don't eat ..like while I sleep it will wake me and I start choking I vomit alot bc of this..smh
Acid reflux is such a pain psychologically, especially when you are trying to gain muscle mass. It's like your body is violently telling you what to do, what to eat, how to live, etc.
Sure! one of the worst diseases,the thise around never understand how difficult you have to cope with a problem.
I'm in the same pot mate, I have built some huge gym muscle and now I have lost everything because I can't eat and not eating enough means weight loss.... Horrible experience
Hi Dr Josh, long story short, I was praying cuz I had really bad heartburn and constipated, while newly diving into a fully raw vegan diet. Getting rid of old junk eating patterns! I thought of ACV and was concerned if it would make it worse. But this video and Braggs website confirmed to get it. I can say, within the first day, heartburn was gone. Within the second day, all constipation was gone. What a Glorious and easy breakthrough! :-) I used two tablespoons Braggs Raw Apple Cider Vinegar in a cup of water 3 times a day, reducing to once in the morning, as symptoms greatly improved. I'm a new subscriber. :-) Hallelujah! God Bless you, for the quick and easy and simple tips!! Shalom! :-)
Thank you...I will try this
Avoid raw veggies. Steam them instead.
Hello did u take acv in hot water or normal water?
Now are you not addicted to Apple Cider Vinegar? Your system is now trained to rely on it.

I have been sharing this information with others for over 15 years. It is so good to hear it from someone else. my husband can eat whatever he wants even before bed time with no pain. He suffered for 20 years before he met me and found out how to be pain free.
Hi...what exactly did u husband do
@@shirleykrueger4482 what steps did your husband take to get rid of it?
Acid reflux was keeping me up several nights a week. Prilosec kind of worked as long as I took one every twelve hours, but could always feel the possibility the acid reflux could really flare up. I didn't like the long term side effects of Prilosec and needed a better solution. I found this video, tried it, and by the second day of taking the digestive enzymes and apple cider vinegar I never had a problem again. It's been over two months now. While I don't take the enzymes regularly, I've come to really enjoy the apple cider vinegar on it's own. Since I've started I've never had a flare up or any of the other problems that comes with reflux (bloating, gas, etc). Life is good.

I’ve been getting acid reflux since the government shut-down, especially after my last meal. Thank you Dr. Axe!
it makes me happy to read these comments knowing that other people are dealing with what im dealing with. i wake up for school, and feel VERY nauseous and dizzy. i usually end up throwing up acid :( hate acid reflux
I vomited a few times also, dont eat 3hrs before bed, avoid fatty and spicey food
You are 100% spot on but you dont need me to tell you that. My heartburn started with big Rueben sandwiches (high fat) and too much sandwich. The intense, painful burning was so bad I thought i would have to call 9-1-1. Acid reflux was hands down the WORST thing I have ever experienced. I am gonna say it again... It was the worst thing I have ever experienced. It lasted about a month and then vanished. I could not go through it again. I researched everything. My doctor put me on acid reducers! Wrong! I eventually found my way to Digestive Enzymes and it changed everything. Smaller portions, chew your food, enzymes, lose weight. I dont know if there are different pain levels to acid reflux but my heart goes out to anyone who has the bad one. You cant even describe how bad it is. Listen to this guy. He knows what he is talking about.
No more soda and no more "over eating" is what helped me the most.
Also going to mostly vegan diet and vitamins/minerals.
A lot of people are addicted to Soda / I think a good way to quit Soda and get some good Acids is to also consider Kumbocha in addition to Apple Cider Vinegar, I made Vinegar from Pears and that seems to also works just as good as Apple.
I'm vegan but I don't take any supplements my blood work is just fine
@@rompstar why vinegar? thats just adding more acid to your stomach.
@@karlhans6678 the acid is not the problem, you need acid to properly digest the food... There is bacteria in your gut that is eating all the junk food you eat and it's producing hydrogen gas, it opens the one way valve and releases the acid, you need to also change the pH to get rid of this bad bacteria, so also consume probiotics, kumbocha is what really helped me.
@@rompstar ill try kombucha, how much do you take and when?

I have spent months researching treating heartburn at home and discovered a fantastic website at Alinn heartburn relief (check it out on google)
here's several things for reducing heartburn at home
Ensure you consume enough water.
cut down on tomatoes
cut down on citrus fruit eg lemons, oranges
cut down on smoking, drinking alchol or caffeinated drinks
(I read these and the reasons they work on Alinn heartburn relief website )
Dr Axe, I want to say THANK YOU A LOT !! I had acid reflux since april, and after visiting a gastroenterologist, she put me on PPI (pantoprazole); I took it around two months, with strict diet ... and nothing, the reflux was still there. searching on the internet, I found your blog where you talk about the danger of PPI's, the importance of diet and THE SUPLEMMENTATION WITH HCL BETAINE & PEPSIN. So, I started reading about that supplement, reading reviews on amazon, and I dedided to buy a bottle. I stopped taking pantoprazole and I started taking HCL Beatine With pepsine... after 4 DAYS the reflux was gone, my body change a lot, I feel with more energy than before. Basically, my stomach acid was low and I had to increance my acid to have a good digestion (something that my doctor didn't check before put me on PPI; I think they almost never check that). I can not believe that a simple pill can change that so incredibly. I really appreciate your information and your time to teach us about healt. I'm eternally grateful. thanks again and best wishes from Argentina.
Hi! How many pills you take per meal?
I don't usually comment on videos but I couldn't stop myself from doing so here. Awesome video and an impressive one. Thank you so much.
Are you ok now after using acv
I have a severe esophageal stricture from acid reflux. Im currently taking medication for acid reflux but it seems to be making it worse. I've tried to stop taking it and I get awful heartburn. I'm not really sure what to do. It's terrible ..I'm always nauseous and have this intense burning throughout my entire stomache and even in my throat. I'm miserable. I'm only able to eat very soft foods like yogurt or ice cream because of my stricture. Im so malnourished and have lost almost 20 lbs. I've been like this for over a year because I only recently found out that I have a stricture. I've tried Apple cider vinegar and it didn't help me at all unfortunately. My heart goes out to anyone suffering from this
Important addition from my experience : for someone who has acid reflux, the lower part of the eshopagus is wounded. To heal that wound, don't consume food that can irritate that part for awhile until it healed, and vegetables and apple cider vinegar is one of them to avoid.
What kind of vegetables?
so, what should we eat?
Bless you Josh, this information is brief and spot on, thank you for your time to help us all, very much appreciated!

***** oh that happens to me sometimes when i get acid reflux it gets me sick
I have acid reflux and my chest area is sore as well. When I try to do a deep breath to calm myself, I can feel the soreness very much so. Last year I was told by my doctor I had costochondritis. Which is the feeling I'm getting right now. I also end up stressing at the same time, so it causes my heart to go fast as well sometimes.
This started when I was drinking Tea while standing up. The reason why I was standing was that I was helping out with something at the time at home. All of a sudden I felt a cramp in my left side. After I felt it, I kept breathing deeply to try and relax it. It ended up turning into a sharp pain afterwards. The sharp pain stopped after a while, but I'm still stressed, as I feel sore.
how are you feeling now?
I got diagnosed with H. Pylori. I took 14 days of therapy with antibiotics. After I finished my treatment, I started having horrible acid reflux and burning in my stomach and esofagus.
I have tried lemongrass, fennel, ginger, turmeric, and oregano, but I don't feel any different.
I tried ACV, and it was really hard to overcome the acidity at night.
Great video. I wish had seen this years ago. Most dr.'s only want to put you on things like Nexium, etc. This Dr. actually cared to get to the real problem. Looking forward to give this a try!
Thank you at Dr. Axe For putting that information out there I greatly appreciate it suffering from very severe acid reflex

Hi Lindy! I follow you, too! 😊
@Satisfying Slime DIY check out a tama named lady.. She has a $35.00 reflux program that I bought and am going to start. It's very strict, but should address h pylori. But you have to buy supplements too. Here's the thing, this has just been dragging on for me with no end in sight. Oh, not to mention I'm addicted to sugar. My h pylori test came back negative, but cut all sugar out of your diet if your have h pylori as sugar feeds it.
I have terrible acid reflux and had to cut out my favorite spicy foods and sugar. Ok sugar every now and then cuz I'm a sucker. I drink apple cider three times a day. Keep it at my bedside. Ive had to change my way of sleeping and my eating patterns. It really helps. I also drink my probiotics and that works wonders as well.
currently 4:33 a.m. Woke up with the feeling of something coming up my throat (I have emetophobia so anything like that is scary for me) so now it isn't the actual acid reflux, Its the fear of vomiting 😖
I had this prb...the more you think the more you will have it..just relax and over come your fear,anger,overthinking...stay busy with friends and creative work.
I just let myself vomit, feels better afterwards
I have the same fear, my body is now rejecting the thought of vomiting so it's for me even though vomiting could ease the feeling I can't my body doesn't want to
Braggs organic ACV is what I use too. I had gotten off my PPIs (Prevacid) because they left me deficient in vitamin D, B-complex, and likely magnesium as well (the first two were confirmed by blood work). The reflux rebound was rough. I had changed my diet but highly dense foods like carrots would kill me. Some random guy on FB was going on about vinegar and balancing PH. So I took a swig of balsamic vinegar, which was all I had. It burned hard for a moment and then the relief was significant. Been a vinegar user ever since and picked up some Braggs soon after. .

Stress is a huge factor. I'm dealing with anxiety disorder and I tense up a lot due to the disorder and it is the primary cause of acid reflux.

The general 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.

Consider checking out dr.bergs videos, I’ve found helpful. Sometimes palpitations at night may be a sign of a hiatus hernia. Also low magnesium. I have silent reflux, which has been hard to pinpoint due to no heartburn. Also know as LPR, esophageal reflux. I’ve started taking betaine and Apple cider before meals, also daily magnesium. Dr.berg, and also Thomas DeLauer have been very helpful. And no, I’m not on keto.
Yes yes yes. I thought I had some kind of heart condition, when I woke up and my heart was beating so fast and hard. Then a few days later it happened again. Then I started having pressure in my chest . A week after that I felt like I had a lump in my throat. My doctor diagnosed me with gerd
Yes I have this too, it's terrible! I went from a healthy person to having this problem. I pray to God everyday to heal me completely from this. I also experience a constant sore throat (everyday), lump in throat feeling sometimes, shortness of breath, pain behind my upper back area ( no idea why).

A week ago they said I had GERD also, I was experiencing a burning pain in my heat and my chest was so tight I couldn’t sleep well, they prescribed famotidine, which I took the first 2 days and did nothing ! I stopped because of my research of pills actually masking pain and in the long run creating a much more life threatening problem which I figured, so I tried natural things but in the end I’m noticing now like I said it’s been a week and now the past 5 days I’ve been off medication and I can say eating the GERD recommended foods are helping even tho I still feel a slight burn but overall I sometimes feel normal :/ I do wish this never happened :(
Thanks so much! I've had acid reflux for quite some time. Though I didn't know what it was until I decided to go to a throat doctor a few weeks ago. I've gotten sick with the flu at least a couple of times a year, & then it turned into a dry cough. I thought it was just a natural sickness that came several times a year. I'm a music-voice major in college. Therefore, I sing a lot & could barely afford a dry cough. Many people noticed the cough, & were getting worried. They were recommending an ear, nose, & throat doctor, so I agreed. According to the Doctor, the dry cough is from acid reflux. He prescribed me to some medicine & gave me a list of things of what to eat & what to avoid/limit. Since I began taking that into consideration, the cough was getting better. I'm still coughing a little bit, but not like crazy like I was. I'm still taking medicine for it, & I realize it will be a little bit before it's 100% gone, I am patiently working my way there. I also drink a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar in a small glass of water 10 minutes before each meal. Now that you mentioned it, maybe I will try a tablespoon. Thanks again, & blessings.
How are you now?
Recently cured my acid reflux, don’t need to take the meds anymore, all I did was drink kumbocha and Greek yogurt, I also cut back junk food a lot, I still eat peanut m&ms... but no soda, Kimbocha also helped me kick that habit... it didn’t happen over night, took a solid month to turn it around...
Ray Kodiak HI. Well I'm suffering from gerd from last 2 weeks. And I think the medicines are making the symptoms worse. Just want to know for how long you were suffering from acid reflux?
Nemo Langching the medicine helped me a lot, to start feeling good again... but it lasted for a while, maybe like 2-3 months, Then I started to brew kumbocha again and drinking, also started to eat Greek yogurt for breakfast, those were the two major changes I made.. then I started to half my medicine for a few weeks, then one day I stopped and it didn’t come back, I guess I started to exercise as well.. and lost like 15 lbs.
Nemo Langching also, when you excecise your throat will get dry if you still have acid reflux and you want to drink water to relieve the throat burn, as I kept to exercise more, I felt it was getting better and better...

Because, if somebody has reflux and he is starting to drink kombucha, but the reflux after week is still there, does it mean it doesn't work or it takes a longer time to see the results and you just have to continue to drink kombucha?

@@kpackard1 Forgot about this comment I made 9 months ago. Update: I’ve been off my PPI’s ever since. I learned how to manage and I’ve been doing what you outlined for the most part.

Avoiding processed foods plays a YUGE part in controlling it as well. Happy to report that I’m now off those drugs. Cheers.

I read an article that this is associated with staying on the phone right before bed time. Take a 30min break to relax because the brain thinks its day time so it messes up your eating schedule.
If you have an eroded esophagus due to GERD, vinegar may feel like hot pepper on your esophagus. So try it in a very small dose.

-Calcium citrate and magnesium citrate. I've noticed that caffeine seems to affect the LES it because it causes malabsorptions of these two. I also notice acid reflux as I'm COMING DOWN from my caffeine use. Obviously you can speed up the effects by slowing or stopping your coffee consumption, as well as naturally eating these via some green vegetables. Tums is simply calcium carbonate, but it's good to internally take in calcium as well.
- Also a weird exercise: Drink a low/zero sugar carbonated drink and do NOT burp for at least 2 minutes. You'll feel your LES (lower esophageal sphincter) tighten when you hold it down. This is the only way I know to manually flex that muscle, which has been worn down from acid reflux and poor nutrient absorption. I felt relief when I did this, but I would say this is something to try and see if it works for you (may not).
Watching this video because I was curious how much it lined up with my process. I've gone through the above process twice, with my last "episode" only lasting a week.

Carrot juice is all you need. But, a doctor will never tell you. Please try carrot juice and then leave me a comment.
Can you please elaborate more on this. How much juice? Morning or night? For how long?
Thank you
I will try it and let you know.
Yippee, carrot juice is the answer, a bit expensive but worth it. Thanks for the tip!!
Yep. It works, thanks!!
I quit cooked tomatoes. Boom, no reflux. I like apple cider vinegar, so used it a little more than occasionally. Haven't had it since 2008.
Dr Axe, PLEASE do a video/study on LPR "the silent reflux" this is different than typical GERD. The LPR sufferers are having the acid go past their heart straight into the esophagus.
And into their throat. Pepsin sits there, waiting for acid vapours, or acid after eating to come up (very loose les). But if you drink anything acidic, the pepsin is activated and your throat begins to digest itself. What an awful thing. Ppi's didn't do anything for me. Ugh. This has been almost two years. And I need to just start drinking banana broccoli smoothies at every meal with coconut probiotic yogurt... Ugh. So hungry.
@@danieade1559 I heard akaline water can kill the pepsin in your throat permanently.
@@Versiongurl I've been doing the little bit of baking soda with a big glass of water before and after meals and it's been helping. I should look more into alkaline water online.
@@danieade1559 hi how was your condition? I am also having throat problem esp. when I eat spicy and acidic food~ this might be a silent reflux too, i triend to gargle baking soda sln, but there is only a little relief.
@@danieade1559in my case eating banana is one of my trigger foods to cause my throat problem :(
Actually I have acid reflux since 4 days but I moves out from acid reflux by
1.eating very small cut of food and chewing it to many times (one says that we have 32 teeth so that we can chew the food up to 32 times)
2.Eating my three times food to six times
3. Walking After food
4.sleeping after 3 hours after dinner
5.get down more and more saliva in stomach
4. Eat some basic food like banana watermelon
5. Avoid spicy and non healty food
6. Sleeping up to some straight
And I am fine now after 1 amd 1/2 week
What you drinking and eating?
@@Frostyboi300 I drink normal warm water and eat basic food in small quantities such that 3 times food gone to 6 times daily
You must avoid the food that cause for the secretion of more acid in stomach and as acid is acid produced you feel better and after a particular time your oesophagus become all right
Education For All hi there, are you still doing those things or now you are back on usuals? When you say that you put saliva in your stomach you mean that you swallow the saliva that is produced? Did you have any symptoms since than? Thans in advance
@@mpokoseuthimis2565 no now I am normal as earlier
Eating all things
But in limit
@@awdheshKumar-cp9pm one last question, do you eat at night?
Believe it or not, yellow mustard has really help me. I do a tablespoon of it before I eat. Going to try apple cider vinagar too.
Wonderful explanation concerning eliminating acid reflux. Esp how to safely add acid & digestive friendly food. I wonder, do we start to sabotage our stomach acid balance when we start to eat what adults eat? I've seen parents give their 2 year old kid, BBQ, burgers etc, pastries, processed sweet cereal, sugary drinks & salty snacks. Is that the beginning of not having enough acid?
i really agree with u dr axe about the low acid thing but i am from singapore and i was having reflux and was on medications from the drs here and was taking ppi
and i was suffering my hair was dropping and nausea all i was so lost and helpless as i know it was low acid that cos it so i stop the medications and did not know who to go too i turn myself to tcm chinese medincine and a chinese dr. when i first saw her she told me my body was invade by cold and dampness and is very strong thats y i could not eat much. every thing was falling in my body so i took try with her medications and she told to take only warm water and less oilly food more real food or porridge and do abit of simple exercise and sweat slowly not too heavy cos it will weaken my body . but i need to sweat it out to detox after two months now i am able to eat like a normal person now she told me she wiil go for my kidneys as is cold also as everything starts from a good balance kidney of yin and yang.
all i want to say is food is importnca but also chinese way of herbs are also a very powerful sourse of food as is natural . i also learn alot of chinese drs like walnut is also very good for the kidneys too it will boast the yang of of things
and also sunlight has really save me. as i work in the nightlife
Can i ask you what did u use yin and yang for ? I have suffer from low acid and the apple cider vingerdidn’t work
i have few curious questions:
1. what about drinking apple cider vinegar when you have ulcers in the esophagus junction due to GERD? i bet this will turn into an erosive esophagus with more acid
2. what about hiatal hernia causing GERD? if you drink apple cider vinegar, then wont you be flaring things up more by adding to your acids?
3. what about the PPI drugs becoming widely used and prescribed by doctors, isnt it contrary to take PPIs and at the same time drink apple cider vinegar which is acidic?
4. last but not least, why do you say in the video that oranges, tomatoes, etc trigger acid reflux while you recommend increasing the acid in the stomach by drinking apple cider vinegar. if oranges and tomatoes trigger reflux because they are acidic, how come some people still recommend to add acid to the stomach by drinking apple cider vinegar?
I *think* the acid in ACV is different than the acid in citrus fruits. As in it more closely matches your stomach acid. But aside from that, yeah I think you have great points. I am hesitant about using ACV as well .. for all the reasons you mentioned, but it will strip the enamel off your teeth pretty quick too.
Yeah i wonder this too , but from what i know ACV is acidic , but in the stomach it leaves an alkaline ash. So not acidic in the stomach but alkaline that's the theory.
@@tabularasa968 I actually talked to my gastroenterolegist and asked him what causes acid reflux. I asked if it was too much acid in the stomach or too much. And he said neither. It comes from the sphincter at the top of the stomach weakening for a variety of reasons and acid from the stomach coming up into the esophagus. He said it really was not a too much or too little acid kind of a thing.
@@bobgunner3086 Yes being in balance will be the best route. But the symptoms can affect you quite . Impact your life. And it requires a lot of lifestyle changes over a long time to go the natural way.
Worst cases of reflux I experienced, now nearly cured, were scary change of my voice, burning throat and even thinning of tooth that my dentist applied amalgam
Dicky Park how are you now?
Thanks doctor Axe. I completely forgot about digestive enzymes. I use to take those once upon a time they did help but,, I stopped taking those and did all the things I shouldn't have done ...I will definitely purchase those in the near future.👍👍
But then again I don't want my body to become too dependent on those either. I going to also include ACV.
The very first things you should do if your body doesn't produce enough enzymes or you have any digestive issue is doing a liver cleanse and you will be surprised how many stones will get out of there. I'm doing a liver cleanse using an amazing book by Andreas Moritz, and the very first cleanse changed my life.
Thank you Dr. Axe. I don't suffer from acid reflux during the day, but I've been told I have silent reflux at night, or LPR. I have done most of the lifestyle changes, but still seem to have an issue. I had my gall bladder removed about 15 years ago. Could my reflux be from a lack of bile in digestion, and will digestive enzymes be a good solution? I thought the gall bladder removal was a blessing because before I suffered from heart burn almost everytime I ate. Now it seems only during the night. Thanks.
I would say 99% of the time acid reflux is due to gallstones, tho you dont have any gallbladder. So you most likely have stones blocking in the liver ducts. This is a huge problem that the medical community dont have any treatment for, more then removing the gallbladder. The stomach acid is correlated with issues with the liver and enzymes production. You can look up Andreas moritz for help, or go to curezone homepage "forum" "liver flush".
Try Licorice tablets or powder
I been prescribed omeprazole and been taking it for a couple of weeks for my reflux. Do you guys think I'm better off stopping the omeprazole and try the Apple cider vinegar ? Doesn't really sound a good idea to try both at the same time . Appreciate any feedback
It works
avoid coffe,tomato,alcohol especially wines,all food comes with tmato sauce and lot of oil,fried fish,sour fruits,dairy products...all sour food dont eat...balanced your weigth to your body....go to gym....dont eat lot of rice....
Wine doesn't give me Hearburt but hard liquor. Yes like whiskey , tequila ,run
Forever? :( I like alcohol .. mostly beer
so eat nothing then
@@maytheforcetry just about. This disease is a big money maker for the corrupt AMA and drug companies.
Just what I needed. Dr. Axe is a national treasure. Thanks!!! ❤☮🌎
Thank you very much for the information🙏🙂
I had very serious throat pain everyday for many years till today..and doctor said it was cause of acid reflux.
In recent years..chest stuck couldnt breathe sometimes if I took solid food eg rice..must drink a cup of warm water before each meal.
Yup...I always gobbled up my food or skip my meals due to heavy workload in office for 15 years, and didn't know till now, how serious that would affect my health.
Who gets it worst at night and also right after eat how many hours you lay down after you eat?
When you eat fast does that cause acid reflux?
Alex Kain ya same man i think the best thing to do is to stop eating 2-3hrs before you go to bed and always take apple cider vinegar 10mins before you eat a full meal as instructed in the video
Eating fast, eating too much, drinking soda and drinking carbonated sugary drinks with your meals makes it worse too.
Thanks for a great video!
It amazes me how bad the medication people take for acid reflux is for it! Some of the medicine literally reduces stomach acid and that just makes it worse!
I struggled with Gerd and stomach ulcers for about 2 years and I researched every single day for an answer because my medicine wasn't working. Now I know why.
I got rid of mine when I changed wife's. Funny how that worked

Less stress = Better functioning LES = No Reflux.
Digestive enzymes corrected my acid reflux and helped with other issues too (e.g., gas, bloating, sluggishness, insomnia and carrying extra weight). Apple cider vinegar occasionally helps, too - instantly - when I eat too much or too much of the wrong things. Thank you for another excellent teaching video!
Which one do you use? Thanks

How long drink for asid reflux
I didn't hear him mention coffee.
I have googled it and it says don't consume coffee because of the acid content. I'm not a coffee drinker myself but when they said to eliminate certain tea I about most it. Lol.
Tried to take tea spoon of apple cider then dribk water... Thew up instantly thought i was going to die
stop being a fucking drama queen
+simon balls how about you go try to drink apple cider vinegar by its self bitch
😂😂😂 idk why this comment was so funny haha
😂😂😂
You dilute the vinegar
Thank you so much for the information! I'm so tired of experiencing this discomfort. I will try all of your recommendations!
So much ppl looking for a cure and just enough ppl here with advertisements and sneaking them in. What a shame. My advice is to heed to Dr. Axe's advice and exercise. Diet and exercise play important roles in our health.
If you have Silent Reflux, I know from experience that apple cider vinegar activates the pepsin in your esophagus and will prolong healing the valves. I haven't tried it in pill from to bypass the throat. Diet change and the digestive enzymes plus probiotics have helped a lot . After three months of experimenting I'm definetly better.
Hi. What kind of diet did you follow?
Please I'm having chest and throat tightness due to the silent REFLUX can it help me... and what foods should i eat I'm in GHANA
I call my chiropractor. He fixes my mid thoracic spinal motion and I am 100% normal now! No more antacids
Wats dat now.
For those experiencing palpitations, nausea, even anxiety from this, especially those who experience no heartburn you may have what I have which is LPR I believe it’s called where gaseous acid leaks up throat (doesn’t burn) and inflamed nasal passages, ears, and cause problems because pepsin is stored in the cells... pepsin is the problem here btw and adding more like this video says would be a bad. I finally got this thing managed... I mix 2 tbl spoons of baking soda and 1 liter of water, I sip this every now and then thru out my day, and I use the same mixture for a nasal spray the baking soda kills the pepsin!
Are you gotncured from lpr ?
Please can i drink it on an empty stomach, I'm also suffering from oesophageal ulcer and gerd for 2 yrs
Great video. All the info you need in a condensed, no nonsense video. Thank you x
I am excited to try this and to hopefully get off my GERD medication my doctor put me on! Thanks!
How did this go fo you? Tryna help out my mum
Don't eat anything at night, don't lay down on your back during day or atleast keep inclined angle when u do lay down.
Thank u so much Doc, I almost died a few minutes ago but thank God I had Apple Cyder V , It help reduced the pain
I have GERD accompanied with hiccups. This combination kept me up nights and left me fatigued and irritable.
I started eating smaller meals more frequently during the day. Currently, I'm eating six meals a day. I had been overeating when I was doing the three square meals routine.
So far, no hiccups or heartburn. I also reduced red meat and hot spices too.
Hi David, do you still eat 6 meals a day? How is your stomach now?
Thank you Dr. Axe, I am 30 years old , I drink 3 cans of diet soda everyday . I drink Turkish coffee every morning . And the result is that I have small hiatal hernia with mild reflux which affecting my voice . People start thinking that I'm upset or something when I talk !! What do u think the best alternative of soda and the coffee ? and do I need to worry about the hiatal hernia ?
Strong coffee and soda is begging for acid reflux to get worse as you age. It did for me. I use moderation now with apple cider vinegar and chew DGL licorice tabs. It helps greatly.
His patients are so lucky.
But when I dring apple cider vinegar by even 1 teaspoon my stomach burns.
You probably have an ulcer.... Stop it pleases...
no ulcer it is a sign high acidic stomach don't use apple cider vinegar
Your stomach is producing way more acid. Stop it
did you happens to dilute it? drinking pure apple cider vinegar does that to anyone.
Eat red apples. Avoid oily or spicy foods and alcohol
Why red apples?
@@franktavis because green apple is sour.. it will just increase your reflux
Any tips for a severe acid reflux? I can actually feel the acid in my upper stomach and with that a severe back pain tp to shoulders. These things had me in sweat every night
For me that pain was severe gas, i use 1 teasp baking soda in water, to burp and pain. Feel better.
thanks for the video Sir , what do you say about moringa powder and also should i drink the juice as whole or filtered ?????? Currently i drink oppo squash with cucumber , is it good ??????
Not meaning to be rude, but I don't get why ACV is often recommended. It makes it worse. same with people saying lemon or mint. Stuff destroys my stomach. Everything else you said was helpful though, thank you.
What if it is from anxiety? As long as you have anxiety - I get gastritis - would hci pepsin be good without ranitidine
CreativeJustice I too have really bad anxiety and it has affected my acid reflux. Tried everything SSRIs benzodiazepines, and nothing helped if not made it worse. It was only when I got off the medications and only continued to smoke weed while starting therapy to learn how to battle the anxiety and everything has been much better. I recommend counseling
The PPI elevated my anxiety level to the point that I was hyperventilating (panic attack). Once I stopped the PPI, the anxiety level came back to my "normal" level.
CreativeJustice yes it can be stress
I was stressing too much the past weeks and I developed acid reflux. It’s the worst feeling ever and it’s not going away.. 😣
@@tinkerbell3667 : It takes weeks to heal the damage of acid reflux. Don't expect a quick healing of your digestive tract. Most of us have been damaging our bodies for years so it takes time to heal.
Hi, i have some low acid's symptoms and as recommended I took an organic apple vinegar spoon before meal, both at lunch as at dinner. however I after the meal I started with burning's symptoms, which is something I had not before. my symptoms were: reflux without burning and fullness even with small amounts, and slow digestion. plus reflux i also have a mild gastritis. May this is why I am with this burning after the vinegar? or I do you should i think i have the opposite, excess acid? What can I consider?
Dr Berg has something to say about this
Also, you could have lpr, watch out because you then have pepsin in your throat. You can have both gerd and lpr. And Dr berg is a chiropractor... Not an actual doctor.
I would even say, that taking acv every day for a year may have even contributed to me developing lpr. Thinking it's so darn healthy, but not understanding that with two cups a coffee a day, and being a total stress case closer to when this started, that I might just have a very acidic system that just further damaged my les. Don't get me wrong, if acv works, it works. But it can also equally make you much worse depending on many factors. Find out from a doctor if your stomach ph is more alkaline or acidic.
Your stomach is producing too much acid
@@danieade1559 Many chiroprator do take extra classes to practice functional medicine Josh is one with Berg. Dont know if they have 12 yr degree with internship to be called dr.

No oil, vegan diet helped my acid reflux. Small portions throughout the day. After the sun sets I stop eating. 3 hours before bed i dont drink anything. No carbonated drinks, just water. I've always been vegan but an unhealthy one, eating fried junk food alot. But since I changed diet by eating cleaner my body took care of the rest. Hope this helps. Acid reflux sucks. Keeps you up at night, and sometimes randomly vomit in my sleep.
Drink Apple Cider Vinegar Organic Raw Cloudy the Mother. 1 tablespoon & a small amount of water, add fruits vegetables. Remove citrus fruits. Eat a small amount of food at a time, no tomatoes carbohydrates, pastas etc
Have a question for you. My mom get a very thick Fleming in her throat making it very hard to swallow. The Fleming is very thick. Do know what she can do for this?
Not sure. But this is Also a symptom of Acid reflux making it difficult to swallow
Yes. Get Amoxicillin, and next time, don't stop taking your heartburn prescription. If you need to try a remedy, make sure to continue taking your medication after trying unless the remedy works for you. Same thing happened to me.. turned out it was a strep throat which was mostly due to not managing my GERD symptoms.
This is my problem allso over 12 months now just been put on beta blocker somac and I have to have gaviscon when going to bed otherwise weezing coughing and Flem bad I allso have duodenal aulsa.

What about someone with Barrett's Esophagus or people with a lazy lower esophageal sphincter? Adding acid to a problem stomach doesn't make sense, it's not going to fix their problem. Avoiding the triggers like mint of any kind, chocolate and caffeine are crucial but ultimately, they may need Laparoscopic antireflux surgery.
