I just stopped PPI's after 4 yrs. I stopped because of the latest news about long term use. In watching this video, I think it's entirely possible I have a different type of reflux. I have many other symptoms that have been going on for years. I plan to take note of all the things I've just ignored thinking they were something else. Your video has really helped. Thank you.
I was just diagnosed with silent reflux. I have the throat congestion/inflammation symptoms. I had a reaction to Pepcid. I became horribly fatigued, drowsy, and depressed. I got off it, doubted myself, went back on it, and had the same experience. I got off it again,, and, again, those symptoms are fading. But I'd love to know more about this form of reflux and how to tackle it without drugs that made me feel worse.
â @@DianaZ46there are lots of doctors saying these PPIs are safe taking them long term 3-4 times a week! The problem is taking them like twice a day 40-80mg for 20-40 years⊠that is what i have been suggested from my gastroenterologist⊠i take personally twice 40mg a week and 20mg so in total 120mg per week..will check in a few months again
A very slow weaning process is the key. I'm doing that now but if you come off too fast you will het too much acid and your esophagus will get inflamed.
I was recently diagnosed with LPR. My ENT actually told me not to take PPIs with their list of side effects. Iâve been cutting out acidic foods and drinking an ungodly amount of alkaline water daily and itâs helped so far. I also incorporated Reflux Raft at night and my throat has started to feel better.
I did have a few questions:
1) How long did it take you to start introducing trigger foods back into your diet and when did you know it was time to do so?
2) Do you still sleep with a wedge pillow after your recovery? Is this a lifetime thing? đ
3) Can you do more LPR-related videos?
Words cannot even begin to describe how grateful I am for finding you Molly! Your channel has been such a huge help for a gal who thought her entire life would be full of bland foods forever. You give me so much hope for my future & recovery. â€
Ditto to everything you said. I'm keen to learn more about this!
And me please. I have Lpr symptoms with recently diagnosed hiatal hernia. I have been struggling to recover from laryngitis symptoms as a result. Doctors are saying I have to take ppis for my throat to heal. I do not want to take them as the symptoms are awful. I have changed my diet, sleeping style and so many other things. Any more advice I would really appreciate.
Thank you for your questions!! adding these to my 30k Q&A video that will be posted this week! :)
Yes, I would like to hear about the different types of reflux
Please make a video detailing the different types of reflux!! Thank you so much for everything you do â€
Thank you! That video is coming soon!
Information on the different types would be great!
Refluxraft was useless for me! Didn't do anything for me and pricey too. I went back to Gaviscon for a while and recently switched to Nutritist Refluxter which has been working great and is a capsule too.
It would be great if you could make a video detailing the types of reflux.
Yes I need to know the types of acid reflux. My gallbladder as removed over 20 yrs. ago. I had an endoscopy done. I had a lot of inflammation in my gut I took a PPI for 6 weeks. I was told that O can come off. I now take Pepcid or Mylanta. But my stomach not esophagus still bothers me. I need help.
Hey Molly, i have LPR (globus sensation in my throat + throat pain) and my doc told me to do a diet without protein so no chicken, milk and yoghurt because of the pepsin. What do you think about it? I really donât know which diet is the best and i have this for 2 years now..
i'm on a ppi and have a hiatal hernia, but more so i am on chemotherapy.. what do i need to do for my stomach acid/reflux!
I recently stopped taking pantoprazole as I have been taking it for almost a year because I had a suspicion my symptoms of lpr were because I had too LITTLE stomach acid and sure enough my sore throat is starting to go away and Iâve been feeling so much better! Would u be able to touch on the subject if not having enough stomach acid?
Yes do the video I listen to you a lot need to know my root cause for acid reflux. I had to come off PPIs caused sever body pain. Wish I could afford your expertise.
Absolutely! We have three options for you: our app, a comprehensive course, and personalized 1:1 sessions. The app and course are both highly affordable. Check them out here:Https://flora-nutrition.com
Please could you do a video on biliary reflux? thank you
Is there anything to do with poor esophageal motility?
Reflux raft iñhas been sold out for a while! đą if we book with you do you go over the testing we should be asking for to determine the root cause?
Was food moving back up to throat was one of your symptoms?
If you have to take a PPI or H2 blocker, do you recommend one over the other? I was concerned about the Alzheimerâs reports with the PPIâs so when my doctor wanted to put me on that, I asked for something else and they gave me the H2 blockers. They minimize any pain, but I still have the pressure in between my shoulder blades.
Is there a video where you explain how to actually find the root cause of your reflux?
Some questions please because the stuff you are saying are not very clear and i''m trying to understand exactly what to do you from your videos:
1) So if you have lose sphincter, small hiatal hernia (1.8cm) with GERD but a bit of pain under the rip (also not very often) but with LPR symptoms more frequently, do you recommend PPIs? (btw the endoscopy showed inflammation on the esophagus and gastritis)
2) If you have lose sphincter does not mean that acid is always coming back to esophagus?
3) I live in EU and reflux raft is not available, is gaviscon advance safe to to use long term?
Do you think its ok to use a ppi or maybe famodadine for a few weeks along with a gi revive and digestive enzymes to give my esophagus and gutty works a chance to heal? I do have a an endoscopy coming up in September so i'll get some answers soon hopefully.
yes you just typically take mucilagenous herbs 30-60min away from medication
Still here still suffering. Inflammation at the top and bottom. It's awesome!
I never ever want an endoscopy again. I've had two and a billion h.pylori tests lol
Thanks for this, I've obviously got silent reflux (with rare but ocassional heart burn) Guess the mix of PPIs, Antacid/alginate + Stopping smoking! is my answer! One day free
are there any exercises that you recommend to strengthen the LES?
Diaphragmatic Breathing!!! we talk a lot about this on the FLORA app www.mollypelletier.com/flora
Why do I have acid reflux no matter if I eat or don't eat and have it all the time.
going to answer this in my Q&A video coming up!
I took the alginate and still had lpr symptoms. Heavy meditation and deep breathing seems to help a bit but the symptoms are still prolific. I got an endoscopy done very recently and luckily no damage has taken place from the reflux. Still need some answers though.
I have been dealing with this for years. Alingates don't work for me either. You are going to have to eat a super bland diet for the rest of your life to relieve symptoms. It isn't going to go away though. You will still get itchy throat and burning but not constant. I am sorry, but I have to be the one to tell you because everyone is trying to make money. Not me though. Your LES is most likely damaged to the point of irreversible damage. This is for life. I have pre cancer and it's getting worse because of this disease. I am looking into something called SARCO POD. I had enough
â @@jeremydiaz5172Iâm beginning to think youâre right. There is no cure⊠what is sarco pod?
@@AlejandraGarcia-ho3lq I am sorry to be the bearer of bad news. You can live a satisfactory life provided you stay on a strict diet low in acid. You are still gonna feel it but instead of pain it'll be annoying discomfort. I've done extensive research on this condition. Doctors and suregeons don't know how to repair the LES. And it is a fragile mechanism. Nevermind SARCO. It's a suicide chamber that engolfs you in Euthanasia. It as legal in Switzterland for anyone that doesn't want to live anymore. My pain gets me to that level. Where I just want to end the suffering. Don't be crazy like me lol. You aren't alone. There are ppl who have irreversible damage. No one likes to admit this, but it's true. I hope you can remain disciplined for the rest of your life. I am trying myself. Take care.
I had heard that PPIs can slacken the LES, which is counter productive for reflux. Also that low stomach acid can also affect the LES. Is there a way to counter this effect? I was put on PPIs a year ago without any real discussion or exploration, and I'm suspecting low stomach acid and slow emptying may have been key, perhaps resulting from stress.
I have been working on lifestyle and nutrition since which has been very helpful, and am trying to address the root cause of stress, but would now like to wean myself off PPIs. What do I need to consider? What do I need to discuss with my doctor?
I had zero explanation as well. I was on PPI's 4 yrs and stopped when I heard there's a 30% better chance of getting Alzheimers.
"Removing the reflux triggers is not an effective long term approach" can you elaborate on that?
Hello molly i am 20 year old form india i am suffering acid reflux but I can't afford your fees can you have free course also?
i have so many free resources if you scroll all the way down here! linktr.ee/mollypelletier
I take a PPi every 2nd day
Does a fantastic job making huge profits for pharma, while masking the root cause of your problem.
Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPIs) are the top-selling drugs in the United States! (last time I checked)
Short answer: No, lol
Acid reflux sucks
