I like your video, very informative. Hope i get rid of this vomiting all day long...it is killing me.

Thank you Dic Lisa for this very informative video. Right now I have GERD and been taking omeprazole for almost 2wks. My acid reflux’s come and go and I always burp and passing gas. I found a link that shows what to eat and what to avoid. If I don’t get any better Then I have to consult my doctor who’s treating my respiratory and digestive system.

Thanks Dr for valuable information.You have explained everything in a very good way. I really appreciate you letting me know about acid reflux. Thanks again

This is the best KZfaq video on this subject ever! Thank you!

I wake up choking on stomach acid, and can't breathe, but I don't have heartburn, and I don't eat after 6pm, and I'm not overweight. It's very scary, I've read its best to sleep on left side, as it always happens on right side.

Thank so much for this webinar. It answer my questions regarding risks of PPIs. Some of the vlog are pretty scary when you watch it.

Does anyone feel nausea , vomiting up everything you eat , and feel weak and got a burning sensation in your chest , back and throat ? And also constipated and shortness of breath ?

I have been taking proton pump inhibitors for about 40 years. They completely resolve any issues with GERD, but I have tried many alternatives with no success. Keeping a healthy weight seems to help, along with not eating for a few hours before bedtime.

Typically patients who are diagnosed of Gerd are given from doctors a list of food to avoid and brief explanation of this disease. Thanks Lisa for this valuable info. I got just one question: I was operated of Inguinal Hernia and my recovery took 5 years of physiotherapy and daily pain killers. I am wondering if this long term treatment recovery caused me to get Gerd.

I wish all doctors were like this.

hey guys Lisa thank you very much..strongs guys..i declare healing right now in the Name of Jesus..we are heal just believe..just by his stripes we are heal.God bless you docter..All the way from South Africa..I PRAY NOW FOR GOD TO GO BEFORE US ALL AND GIVE US HEALING IN THE NAME OF JESUS..LET HE WORK HIS EVERLASTING POWER THROUGH THE DOCTORS AND JUST GIVE US OUR HEALTH BACK..CUS THE BIBLE DECLARE THAT GOD IS ABLE.GLORY TO GOD..AMEN.I KEEP YOU ALL IN MY PRAYER..GOD BLESS

Very well , illestrated,and explained

Best lecture so far that I am come across

I had total syncope with really frightening black out three times over about 9 days and each time after eating last bite/last spoonful of food. I had had GERD for some years that I now know is CAFFEINE ALLERGY that gave me a stinging pain either side of my throat before the usual acid reflux started. The stinging started immediately after usual light breakfast of slice of bread or toast with butter and usually some jam or marmalade. During rest of day the GERD was slight and if worse I took antacid. Then I started getting a pain at bedtime when lying on left side and had to turn over onto right that made the pain almost disappear. If I turned back left i almost heard and felt a heaviness sort of slopping over as though my esophagus was filled with food or drink that had not progressed down into my stomach over the 1-2 hours since last meal or drink. I wonder if the lower lower esophageal sphincter LES was not opening to allow the last meal to pass into the stomach. This went on for several weeks at the time had first COVID lockdown made it impossible to get doctors appointment. Then I had the first of the three syncopes and finally managed to call a doctor who immediately said it sounded as though I might have a esophageal cancer and arranged an endoscopy. That took a month due to COVID delays. I only had a drink of water several hours before the endoscopy and was surprised to see camera entering esophagus, stomach and first few inches of small intestine looked healthy and pink and the doctor said no sign of cancer or other problems. Just after the endoscopy I noticed I had the pains in throat and reflux after a breakfast of tea and a rye crispbread. I reasoned that the rye was so innocuous that maybe the tea was the culprit though as I'd been drinking tea for at least 70 years it seemed ridiculous. But I searched the medical literature and found that a caffeine allergy can develop and give reflux. I immediately stopped drinking tea and bought and drank decaf coffee and almost all the gerd has disappeared except for a slight sore throat if I make the coffee a little strong. I mostly drink water and soya or almond milks and cow's milk and only two weak decaf coffees a day. Therefore I think this is what happens with GERD-SYNCOPE is actually a SPHINCTER PARALYSIS: The caffeine induces GERD. The GERD irritates the esophagus and LES. Eventually the GERD irritation causes the LES to fail to open so that the last meal remains in the esophagus to give that feeling of food at the back of the throat. At some point after this LES paralysis develops a meal will so fill the esophagus that it causes pressure on the adjacent windpipe sufficient enough to starve the lungs of oxygen, The lack of oxygen then starves the brain and causes the SYNCOPE BLACKOUT! The syncope causes a self-preservation reflex of deep swallowing and deep breathing that restores the oxygen supply to the brain. As I now eliminate all caffeine and GERD inducing food from my diet by carefully checking ingredients of all food and drink I have little GERD and no sensation of esophagus being filled with unpassed food.

I have been suffering from GERD for the last 15 years and pantoprazole has been a life changer. I do take a digestive enzyme to break down my food, the pantoprazole suppressing stomach acid does cause issues with food digestion.

I have a hyperthyroidism .. And i suspect myself of also having gerd.. I always burp .. I have chest pain and find my self hard to breath.. My joints moslty in my hands are also in pain.. I experience globus and sometimes i feel that theres a lum in my thrpat. I also have somekind of an ear infection on my right and i had a sinusitis. And i dont know if i have a low stomach acid or a high stomach acid or if i have any scar inside my digestive system. Is there any relationship between this gerd and mh hyperthyroidism?thank u

Stress /anxiety wasn't mention as culprit of triggers of acidity/GERD

if u have the operation will u still have a normal life----abdomen operations usually lead to advice to never lift again---I wouldn't be able to return to construction work---pls answer guys

Thanks Dr Lisa for your Webinar on GERD. It was very interesting and informative indeed. I am 66 years old and have been a GERD patient for over 3 decades and taking a maintenance dose of omeprazole 20mg once in 36 hours. Though I have tried several times to come off it , I could not. Is there any acid suppressing medication that does not cause dependence.

Medication is like the fire brigade comes to put the fire out but instead turns the alarm off. Leaving the fire burning. Should we listen to the body and find the cause not shut the body up and make it worse.

Hello Doctor Lin, you might know my niece she also got a doctorate in 2016 from UCLA. I don't know what reflux I have? I used to eat hot popper, Thai food , Indian food or any super spicy food but now any spicy food reach my mouth I cough like a moda.:). thanks to the Pandemic, gets me reflux, anxiety and gallstones in 3 months home. I think anxiety started the whole thing, my 32 years young doctor doesn't know what she doing. she sent me to a surgeon for gallstones, surgeon told me he couldn't tell it was a stone, picture from ultrasound was cloudy not clear and I have zero symptom.

20:02 - Finally a legitimate, scientifically proven use for magnetic bracelets 😂 Jokes aside, this was a very calming, educational, and professional presentation. Appreciate being sensitive to traumatic images and skipping over them quick (e.g. image of worst case scenario -> cancer) if it didn't add too much beyond mentioning the possibility. This is the kind of doctor everyone hopes for 😊

So, this doctor said that acid suppressing medication is safe for long-term use ... so, how long is long-term use? Does this mean taking it for the rest of one's life? Taking acid suppressing medication long term can lead to more symptoms such as altering the GI bacteria, decreasing the absorption of iron; magnesium; etc.

This video is about to treat the SYMPTOM. Is there any way to treat the root cause? PPI makes big pharma shareholder rich!

Linda C I am alkaline inside- I have had an endoscomy

Hello. How long is the Bravo test result good for? For example, if my Bravo is positive and I want to do surgery in 10 years, do I have to test again?

I know everyone says to avoid mint but my main symptom is nausea and mint helps to calm nausea ughhhh Btw what medications do you guys take to help your GERD?

I have GERD. I've had this problem for years - I'm not sure how long. I eat way to much junk food; I don't know why. Tonight I have allot of heartburn and discomfort below the sternum area.

Best one on Tube. Thanks!

Thank you a lot for this video. This is very interesting and informative. Keep posting like those amazing videos, this is awesome.

Great explanation .re - Acid Reflux ..well explained,thank you very much ..well done God Bless you

It is not the excessive acid. It is about the weakening of the LES. if you use PPI you will not be able to digest food properly because of acid suppression.

Do you have any recommendations for exercising with GERD? I wonder if abs exercises, stomach vacuum and bridges are bad for GERD. Is there any guide on what’s good and bad with this disease?

Awesome video! Enjoy your Friday!

No heartburn yet from quitting PPI 2 days ago. I should be in crazy pain like always but im not this time. What changed?? I watched videos on keto and carnivore diets and let me tell you after 3 days of about 20 carbs, plant protein powder and red meat and eggs I feel way more full than I used to. I took 100mg of caffeine today, I had a small small hint if heartburn for 2 hrs on an off after the caffeine. If this diet cures my gerd and psoriasis I will be jumping for joy!!!!!!!! No more PPI and kill my stomach acid that I NEED.

I am diagnosed of mild acid reflux based on Barium Swallow X-Ray Test, which you haven’t mentioned in your video. Am I diagnosed based on correct test? Or should I ask my ENT Specialist to take pH Test and other Tests as you mentioned in your video?

So can this be fully cured? If so what’s the best thing to do and what is the best stuff to eat

Can GERD cause someone heart palpitation?

At the end you mention endoscopic therapy but I don't recall you explaining this. Please could you say more about it?

I watch Doctor Pharmacy and this type regularly on You Tube Premium I have a hiata hernia and it doesn’t bother me too much. I am dealing with that again now . I do not know what kind of hernia you had. This is interesting as it can affect your entire body.

My throat start bleeding cause by gerd and i feel like im choking, and there is something sticking thing on my throat that make me uncomfortable and i feel moderate pain.. anyone can answer this.. thank..

Thank you very much doctor!

Great video, making a point on lifestyle modifications and their relevance in contrast to first line treatments would have made this video perfect, especially with this disgusting spam wave we see under almost every gerd related videos.

Extremely Informative, Thanks a Lot

Thank you Dr. Lin. Dr. Lin i had an endoscopy this week and was diagnosed with reflux deseas and gastrointestinitis. Do i still need to do ph and manometry testing? Since you said to confirm if its a true gerd or that would be it and final

Verry nice topic doc thanks for your video

Very informative, tyvm. If One thinks that he has gerd based on ss, when should one take proton pump inhibitor (ppi) wrt to meal? Should you take ppi only when one shows ss of gerd? Typically how long does each episode of gerd or acid reflux last? Ty in advance for your answers, no obligation though.

Great information!!👍🏻

This is extremely helpful and clearly explained. I've just diagnosed with acid reflux and I'm on emeprazole. And also waiting to talk to a consultant re my low blood count and low iron count. This is more my worry but this video does not mention these points and I wish it does.

Video is informative. Does Gerd cause tongue sensitive to spicy foods? Even with medicines, it's taking more than 4-5 months and couldn't eat even little spice.

I would like to suggest an easy to try alternative approach that maybe could avoid all of this. 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 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. Often, GERD happens naturally without a clear cause. More so 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 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 the heavy water will stay in the stomach longer. I would also suggest doing it first thing in the morning so the water won’t affect the digestion process on 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. 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 specifically separate protein into the amino acid components to be effectively absorbed into our blood stream from the small intestines for use by our body to make new proteins. 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.

cab GERD cause weird sweating in the mid section and lower back

Making an appt to see my endoscopy doc i was tryna wait cuz i just had surgery but i cant take this soon as i eat gagging an throwing up n when i throw up its like girl u better get it all out we yo tummy dont like this feeling is how it makes me feel n something told me not to make my morning shake just water i threw up all the water n left over shake i feel bad ready to go to er n get this fixed just waiting on doc call :( tired of crying over this

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 healthily 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 KZfaq for curing my bad breath and Acid Reflux naturally #dremovon

thank you. very well presented and helpful. thank you so much.

Hi Dr. Lisa , watching your KZfaq channel from Australia. Got a question for u . Once the patient with acid reflux had a surgery, can that person like me eat all the type of food? Once the surgery done , I do t have to suffer in pain once I eat the food against acid ? Pls reply . Thnk u so much !

Or cure it completely by going on a low sugar liquid diet for about a month (blend all you meals). Acid reflux stops within two days, injured esophagus has a chance to heal naturally, your body forgets its regurgitation 'habit', stomach and bowels do not have to work so hard (it gets a 'vacation'), good stomach bacteria start to win again over bad bacteria. Tell everyone for years later ( just like me)

Can you take Omeprazole daily forever to prevent this? I'm going through so much pain now and have been on 3 different occasions been prescribed Omeprazole, which works great after about a week I had no symptoms. But after I stop taking it, about a month later, it comes back. Is it safe to take Omeprazole every day forever?

Amen! To the pray and water, lifestyle changes. I suffered for 13 years with symptoms and tried all the PPI’s and H2 blockers went in for scopes every two years . But I have since, been healed by our Lord and learning how to address my bodies needs. I stumbled upon Weight loss, meditation and pray as being key to fighting my passage with GERDS .

Very very useful facts and advices

Make video what we cN eat i have Gerd acute without bleeding

Very informative Dr. Thankyou

In GERD, is a stomach disorder and cause indigestion of food. We consult many doctors, they gave medicines but the relief is temporary. On someone’s suggestion after using the Amalaki Rasayan, Digestion Support, Heartburn Capsules, Chitrakadi Vati and Mahashankh Vati of Planet Ayurveda, she is fine now and also following the diet chart which is given by Planet Ayurveda.

I don’t understand why every site says to avoid mint yet any medication for this crappy condition is mint flavoured 🤔

What about maam not sleep more at night

They certainly don't put you to sleep in Uk for endoscopy ! - and don't think I heard this lady mention that "anxiety" and can also be another trending cause for this condition - that might surprise some people -

I've had constant chest pain for over 2 months now, it started after eating late for several weeks andeating heavy spiced foods and some drinking, first I felt like I had something stuck in my throat for about 3 weeks with lots of burping then came the 2 month chest burning pain Went to ER and they determined it's not my heart. Pain is ranging from 4 to 9 then at night it goes down to probably a 2. It's taking for ever to be seen by Gastroenterologist. I'm worried it could be something really bad. Lately I feel pain in my back .. Been having a somewhat runny nose when eating but lately it's not that light , I noticed a strange sensation today when blowing my nose hours after having the runny nose( no mucus) just blowing. Still burping but not as much
