I have a stomach virus and I’ve been binge watching your videos to help calm my mind. Thank you for making these videos! They are very informative and relaxing

I'm currently writing a book on my experience as a patient with GERD. This video is incredibly helpful in explaining it to sufferers like me. I really hate how the solution is just to take PPIs/Gaviscon etc. There's probably a lot of people with a hernia that don't even realise it. We need a lot more awareness on how to avoid and treat GERD.

This is how I vomit : I eat too much pringles, the next day/few hours later, my belly feels warm and I feel like going to the toilet to vomit. As I am writing this, I had vomited like 10 times.

Finally! A video that doesn't just tell me to take some betaine hcl and go keto. This video actually helps me understand more of the anatomy. Very good

You are doing great service to humanity Gut Doctor

I was hoping that you would give us some solution at the end to this problem in terms of eating, type of food, activities to help us minimize the danger of this issue. Thank you very much it was a well done job Gutdoc❤

I have done a thumbs up four this video.

[lilypangchan]

EXCELLENT! This is an invaluable lesson learned for me, THANK YOU so much! I feel like sitting in a lecture hall listening to a great professor, not boring but intriguing! I now understand why I have poor acid reflux problem, I was diagnosed with crest scleroderma which was not clearly explained by my doctors.

Surprisingly no mention of the relationship between atrial fibrillation and acid reflux. As someone who's permanently in af I can assure you it's vey real. Despite being on Lansoprazole I still wake up most evenings at 2-3am with chronic heartburn, what or how much I've eaten seems to have little bearing on it. A slug of an oral suspension such as Gaviscon usually calms it until the morning.

Dr. Thank u very much ! I hope u also tell us about the cure. Especially for gastritis😢😢

I suffered from gerd for 10 yrs then finally discovered that eating fruits and vegetables was making me sick. Now i finally live pain free but my diet is definitely not healthy. I pretty much live on breads and cheese and yogurt and more recently i have added granola bars to my diet.
My gerd caused my food to get stuck in my throat, then i would vomit up my food and the severe pain would last for hours. I could not lie down but had to sleep sitting up. Needless to say i got very little sleep. I really believed my condition was going to kill me. Since giving up fruits and vegetables i have not been sick in the past 3 yrs and i am free of the pain and suffering. All my life i ate fruits and vegetables but then for some strange reason they began to make me very sick.

Thanks for your insight on this crucial topic! A survey in 2018 of 71, 000 Americans found that 61% had at least one bothersome gut symptom! The most symptom was acid reflux, then abdominal pain, then bloating!

The body is so amazing and so delicate.
Fantastic presentation.

[yvonnedemings]

I have suffered from acid reflux for years... and a colostomy revealed that I have an ulcer. More recently, my often distended and bloated stomach forces regurgitation of my food. Now I’m starting to feel hopeless because I need and want help with this chronic unbearable problem. Unless I get help, I’ll probably be forced to survive on drinking ensure.

[juliekhoo]

Thanks very much for the education. Great video. Just subbed.

[esthermwihaki]

I have both acid reflux and gastritis 😢😢 can you post on such
