welcome to the Vitalife show I'm Doctor Janine Bowring a naturopathic doctor
and today topic we're talking all about how to cure
acid reflux and it's also called gerd
a lot of people suffer with acid reflux and
you may be surprised to know and what one of the thing that will be talk about
today
are a number the causative factors actually are coming from the
pharmaceutical drug that you may be taking
First and foremost when it comes to acid reflux
I always do suggest that you are taking a good quality strong
probiotic now not are probiotics are created equal
probiotics are essentially the good friendly flora that we all have in our
intestinal tract
most of the probiotics on a marketer actually made from
cow bacteria or soil organisms. The best probiotics are made
and designed for the human digestive tract and that's exactly what we have
here
at Vitatree are human microflora. What this means is that the human
microflora work
efficiently and effectively to not only help you with your acid reflux
but also to make sure that your digesting and metabolizing your food
properly
so thats first and foremost. Number two on my list would be coral calcium now coral
calcium is the best type
of calcium that you can take. Here at Vitatree we've created
Vitatree whole food calcium which is the fossilized coral calcium
really easy to digest in a powder form
and you just take one scoop a day and this can really help with those acid
reflux symptoms the reason being is that it
alkalinizing to your system what that means is that in
a acid environment with acid reflux is too much acid in the stomach and
esophagus
this is what causes all the symptoms of the burning and the uncomfortable
feeling especially after eating
with the coral calcium because that
alkaline formulation what happens is that it helps to
decrease that acidity right on contact so
I literally tell my patients to make up there glass water with
their one scoop of
the whole food calcium from Vitatree and you can actually be sipping this
you know over an hour so especially when you know the time a day
that you're acid reflex really bothers you
and sip this and it is absolutely remarkable and what it can do and
actually
totally eliminate those symptoms of your acid reflex
and number three on my list is the causative factors so if you're taking
any of the following drugs this could be why you have heartburn or GERD
in the first place and acid reflex, so first on the list
is ibuprofen as well as aspirin so both of these either
pain killers of course over-the-counter painkillers that
do cause acid reflux so you have to ask yourself if you're taking
you know these things whether it's for pain or inflammation and it
causing you the side effects of acid reflex is it the really best way to go
there of course more natural ways to treat pain and inflammation
I encourage you if you do have a chronic pain issue take a look at our VitaJoint and
Vitafish oil
that combination which you can find at vitatree.com is that really the best
and most natural way without any side effect to treat any type of pain
and inflammation
the other types of drugs that are notorious for causing acid reflux
are the bone drug so helping with osteoporosis like Fosamax and actonel
they are again notorious for causing acid reflux
so of course you're taking one drug to help one symptom which is your
osteoporosis yet it's causing your acid reflux and then
most likely if you go to your doctor the doctor will prescribe
the next drug to help with your acid reflux which
in turn causes the next problem so again you really have to be
mindful on what you're putting into your body and tried always do things that are the
most natural way possible
if this is your case then again our whole for calcium and vitamin d3
and magnesium is the best combination for helping with your bones
if you're taking any type of relaxers so a sleeping pill whether it
*** or diazepam this group of drugs also
is very famous for causing acid reflux so
if you have sleep issues find a natural alternative do things naturally
check out our other episodes on our Vitatree YouTube channel about helping
your sleep patterns because it can be really helpful for you
an important again that you're doing it without side effects doing naturally
iron supplements can also of course cause acid reflux so if you do need to take an
iron supplement
I usually recommend this taken earlier in the day and get one that is better better absorb
they're not all created equal
and iron supplements can be very difficult on a digestive tract to make
sure that you get an iron supplement that
easily absorbed and hopefully will not cause you these symptoms of acid reflex
also antidepressant for antidepressant again are famous for causing acid reflux
so if you are depressed or you have an anxiety disorder and you're taking
something to calm down you nervous system
it may be causing the acid reflux which in turn you go back to your doctor and you'll
need another drug for the acid reflux and you can see sort of this chain of events
domino effect that happens which
in my opinion is totally avoidable always do you think the most natural way
possible
