Not only are you brilliant, your teachings are clear and concise. I feel so fortunate to have found your channel. Thank you!🙏🏻

[mikronela]

As a pharmacist and as a person who have a Gerd patient at home I can confirm that this is the most clear and complex video on this subject. Selv diagnosis, diagnosis, treatment, change of habits etc. Evrything is included.
It is very great way how to start own treatment.

I know myself that there is so many strategies, info, treatments available and one can become overwhelmed.

But this.... Simply wow.
I keep sharing it.
I keep spreading the knowledge at worj

[prettybird]

What a gem you are. I listen to many fun tional medicine podcast and have for many years. I wish i was able to afford the cost of the visits. I have suffered for 3 years with ulcers, gerd, and now an esophageal stricture. I am unable to eat and the gasternologist says all he can do is prescribe ppi. I dont even take it trying to heal myself via utube videos. Such a sad, sad healthcare system we have that will only write scripts and keep you sick rather than help me find the root cause and heal. I live in Atlanta and am curious if your office accepts health insurance or are you private pay? Please keep posting these videos so that we may continue to be informed about our health.

Thanks Dr Rajsree!
Greetings from Thailand 🇹🇭

Excellent. Now to coordinate the redundant colon condition I have and working step by step through many of the issues you so kindly shared. Being into Permaculture and gardening organically helps but it is tricky to weed out foods that may not heal. I really appreciate learning about histamine but will need to cook more often rather than use leftovers! Thanks again, Lorna

Hello Doctor great presentation. I've been going through trapped Air Pockets since February. I suffer no pain nor fevers. Just trapped Air everyday. And, yes, often, diarrhea. I'm down to 119 pounds. I'm hungry!! That's not my issue. I just can't eat bloated. Too uncomfortable. My bowels move everyday thank God.

[Username-hbqi]

Thank you for posting, this is very helpful and informative.

[funghouls]

I wish I had found you a year ago as I was weaning off PPI’s, however, through extensive research of my own, I have come to almost an identical conclusion as your presentation here in.
Thank you for confirming this path.
Ps, as part of my daily routine, I had tried probiotics but they caused great discomfort with excess gas, belching, pressure in upper digestive tract. As of 2 weeks ago, I stopped only the probiotics and am feeling much better. I believe the probiotics were exacerbating SIBO type effects of bloating, excess gas build up in stomach and esophagus etc.
Dairy is my trigger and have to read ingredient lists of any prepared foods. Quitting smoking 1.5 years ago drastically reduced GERD along with chewing a DGL tablet 20 minutes before each meal then digestive enzymes and nutritional yeast with the meal. Standing and walking after a meal helps immensely too.
Thank you for such informative presentations and the path to healing.

I am suffering from GERD from hiatus hernia.
I have all the extra gastric complications, thinking of fixing operatively.
If your video helps, I shall be grateful to you ❤

[andriidanylov]

I tried to use Apple Cider Vinegar 1 table spoon per glass of water 2 times a day during 3 month. Actually it worked for my family. I still use ACV. Just like it.

[audreyhepburn]

Thank you !
My reflux got worse with probiotics 5-10 billion CFU of lactobacillis and bifido. Why would that be ? Which probiotic is the best for MCAS then ? What do you think about Akkermansia postbiotic ?
Thank you !

[donnacampos]

Can I open IgG gaurd. Since I can’t do capsules nor softgels? Only tablets, powder or liquid

[ezvahedi]

it's pleasant to wait for another informative video from you. thank you very much

[zohebmulla]

Madam... Colon or large intestine ulcers..can be detectes in . Ct scan and MRI?

[niamhbyrne]

Hi love your videos, so educational. Does lactulose damage the gut microbiome? Thanks

[dileepmurali]

Hello Doc. Is passing gas as flatulence root cause also same as Gerd, because I have constant gas and tend to go as flatulence, did my abdominal scan and lot of blood tests and all were normal. Could it be slow motility as all the gastro I met advised me to do aerobic exercise to keep the motility faster. Would appreciate a reply. Thanks

[elizabethpreciado]

I suffer from gerd and sibo. Would essential magnesium make sibo worse. Like more bloating?

[suesmith]

I have a sliding hiatal hernia which is stuck up top right now. Nothing seems to help with it. I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy.
