Heartburn, reflux, GERD, upset stomach, indigestion, or gas and bloating are not normal. Suppressing the symptoms does nothing about the causes and wrecks your digestion of food. Do you want to wean-off your heartburn medicine, or just keep taking them and let it burn without noticing? When you are looking for a root cause reflux doctor, we have a successful integrative treatment.
It is not surprising that the true causes of heartburn and reflux are never addressed in the ads you see. The manufacturers don’t care about what causes heartburn, acid reflux, or upset stomach. All they really care about is selling you a temporary remedy. They want you to take it for the rest of your life. It never addresses the root causes, and could make gas and bloating much worse.
Integrative reflux treatment
There are long-term consequences of using heartburn, indigestion, or acid reflux medicines. One of the side effects you may experience is indigestion, like gas and bloating. The drug for indigestion treatment has a side effect of chronic indigestion!
There are side effects of using those drugs. They cause incomplete digestion, and malabsorption. After years of taking them the list gets bigger: muscle loss (sarcopenia), osteoporosis, chronic pain (including stomach pain), gas, bloating, SIBO, constipation, use of stool softeners, chronic fatigue, and even brain fog, or a heart attack!
“Our observation [is] that PPI [type of antacid] usage is associated with harm in the general population, including the young… with risk of MI” [MI= heart attack]
Your stomach produces acid and has an acid resistant lining. Your stomach’s acid is important. If your stomach were working optimally, you would never feel stomach acid, but when it struggles, you feel heartburn. Your stomach might need help, but it doesn’t need to be shut off. Taking an antacid is like taking an anti-stomach pill!
What causes heartburn, or reflux?
Heartburn is the feeling like you have excess stomach acid, even though you don’t. Heartburn is your symptom. “Acid” is what you think the symptom feels like. A feeling like “heartburn,” or “acid indigestion” is not a cause; it is the symptom. The root causes of upset stomach are what lead to the symptoms.
Your heartburn symptom is the result of something causing it, and it sure feels like excess stomach acid. The words, “acid indigestion” or “heartburn” describe your symptoms, but your heart isn’t burning and you don’t have excess stomach acid. These misleading words are only descriptive, but they are deceiving. They are not the causes of your upset stomach, or digestive issues.
So what is causing the feeling of excess stomach acid? Remember, the symptoms you feel are the result, they are not the causes of your heartburn. It feels like something burning—like there is too much acid, but it’s not. The true causes of heartburn and GERD are due to something else. Those things cause the upset stomach you feel.
Imagine that a reflux doctor could turn-on your stomach instead of just turning it off. Imagine that your stomach could start functioning like it did when you were just 15 years old. Did you have heartburn back then? No! Yet, your stomach was producing plenty of stomach acid back then, without any heartburn, or indigestion. It was producing enough, good quality stomach acid, so you never had heartburn, indigestion, acid reflux, bloating or GERD.
The cause is NOT too much acid. The causes are fermenting, putrefying, rancidifying food. Your food is not digesting!
If there’s still food in your stomach when you wake in the morning, that’s part of your real problem.
You need an alternative treatment
Instead of suppressing your tired, worn-out stomach, you need help to turn it back on. It’s the opposite of antacid therapy. Whatever you were taking for reflux, fails for your digestion. This fact is important, but it is not enough to help you. There is a complex weaning process. It is too simple to think you can use this page to treat your condition yourself. Now is not the time to try self prescription, or treatment without the right professional help. You just need the right alternative treatment.
