I had suffered with reflux classic symptoms for a number of years (10/15) but used antacids to control it but eventually they became less efficient. At the age of 60, I spoke with my new doctor about it and he prescribed a brand of PPI. The effect was almost immediate. Wonderful. However, after taking them for 6 years, I read a report linking long term use with osteoporosis. I spoke with my GP about this and he arranged for me to have an endoscopy. The result showed a hiatus hernia and Barrets syndrome. The consultant arranged for me to have more tests involving putting a pressure sensor down my oesophagus to check correct peristalsis operation. We eventually decided that a 360° Fundoplication and hernia repair would do the trick and it has. Great job with one problem. The tightening of the lower oesophgeal sphincter means that although food and liquid can pass through, any air swallowed during eating and drinking and gas produced in the stomach cannot escape upwards and travels through my gut. This leaves me feeling constantly bloated with, at times, embarrassing results!
Do you know if there are there any other less invasive procedures that will not require such a major surgery or change to the anatomy?
Use homeopathic medicine Robinia 30 fir acid reflux. This will solve the problem ❤
Thank you doc for making this video❤️
Great video, concise and informative as always.
I have a question regarding canker sores (aphthous stomatitis), potential causes and treatment?
I was put on Omeprazole after being on anti inflammatory medication for an injury for about a year. This majorly affected my stomach. I took Omeprazole for about 4 years. It’s nice to finally be off it.
Doc good day. My father suffered ruptured appendix last January. 6 Month after the operation he suffered hyper acidity. And now he's not feeling well the doctor gave a medication but it turns no reaction.. Her doctor refer as to a gastro because she can no longer know what is happening. She say maybe there is a deeper cause. We're so worried. Because he is vomiting, can't sleep , no appetite and from 65kls last January after operation now he's only 51kg. He's a senior 62yrs old with a history of high blood that's why when he get operated he is at high risk. maybe because he's alcoholic before .we hope that he get through with it and get well. Praying for all the sick 🙏
The culprit in most cases: carbs. If I have bread and anything else on top, especially black coffee (that has really nothing that should trigger hotburn in itself), there it is.
About the acid food, I've learned it's quite the opposite as I can have lemon juice at will after any meal that doesn't have carbs, especially refined.
Of course, lemon juice without sugar and if I have bread or any other refined carb with lemon juice, I'm in for heartburn.
Replacing carbs for eggs, protein, salad, I'm safe.
You may have low stomach acid try apple cider vinegar
great animation , great explanation
I'm happy to follow u Dr
Thank you doctor .

Dr please explain headache due to acidity through 3D animation..
I am a chronic patient of acidity.. and have been suffering from sever headache in 1-2months interval from 5years.
Dr. Vincent, thank you for your incredible videos! They are very helpful. Can you please make a video on the topic of what happens when a person is DRY FASTING?
No eating, no drinking.
I’ve done dry fasting for 3 days.
I’ve gone personally for 72 hours without any food and water and felt renewed!
Thank you in advance.
I think I'm gonna go dry fasting too!
Thank u.
Just woke up with a regurgitation of acid up the esophagus and into my mouth. Have had this before maybe twice within the last 6 years, but not this severe. Wow. Scary because it was so acidic. Sipped water and chewed 2 Tums tablets to try to neutralize as much as possible. In my 70s, overweight, ate a late dinner (too much), had my gall bladder out about 40 years ago, and also think I have a hernia I have been trying to control (weak abdominal muscles from being overweight plus had a huge incision from gall bladder removal) and was in a deep sleep.
Scared me enough to finally try to lose some weight (big in the gut area) and will eat smaller meals.
Very inactive in the last few years and frightened enough to try to avoid this again. I'm not fond of spicy food but think ketchup and mustard (oven fries and smaller burger with some cabbage shreds instead of lettuce) for dinner. Watching a few of these videos to get information.
Spicy,,oily,,citric,,etc to be “” totally avoided””
more so in the evening,,night meal.
Eat bland,,food,,with. semi boiled,,veggies.
End with a mild moderate sweet.
There will be ,,,lot of improvements,,,& un disturbing,,,nice sleep
@@rsraman3273 Haha. I don't really do spicy foods, but do like a bit of flavor. I avoid onions as much as possible since I know that really does not agree with me now that I am older. Haven't had that scary acid again since and it surprised me that it happened. I also do not get that burning heartburn sensation either (or in at least 10 years).
I know if I eat a late dinner I do not feel as good as if I ate an earlier lighter dinner. The things that plague us when we get old...
Hi Dr Vincent, thank you for the reminder of Red flag symptoms. Even though I don't vomit, I will go for further investigation asap. God bless you
Thanks Julie glad you found it helpful
Sir ji you are great
Hi ...i want to know what are different gerd,acid refluck n gastric?
like many i been suffering acid reflux for many years then a friend suggested Betaine hydrochloride which increases stomach acids and intermit fasting which totally worked for me haven’t had any reflux symptoms for months
Increases or decreases ??
@@PipelineRecordsTV betaine hcl it increase the Ph acidity of stomach acids, it is known that having acid reflux is because we don't have enough 0-2Ph stomach acids to digest foods
How do you intermit fast??
I’m on medication now for 10days of Esomeprazole and rebamipide..tnx for the explanation Doctor.can you explain also why gastroenterologist suggest an endoscopy?thank you
I had been diagnosed with erosive gastritis through endoscopy. i took PPI's for a month and went back to my doctor. She changed my medicine for another month but now it's still coming back.
I have pain in my lower left rib and i am constipated 😔. .
Hi Dr vincent. Can you do a video on wet flatulance. Im 50 with a history of ibs and gas. Past year every few days and suffering terrible gas with clear fluid. Had lots of tests done. Fit stool tests. Bloods. ultrasound. Havent lost weight or seen blood. At a lost cause whats gone wrong with me. They wont even send me for a scope because i am not passing blood. Thank you. Malcolm
When I take PPI in night most of the time I get yellowish glassy vomit very next morning, what will be reason
my 10 yr old is having ths problem since last 2 months we are taking medicines, eating food which doesnt produce gas but still he isnt ok what else can we do ?
To add, long term PPI use ( far from ideal and not originally intended when this class first arrived on market ) requires magnesium replacement.
And B-12 (otherwise dementia and neurological symptoms can develop)
Low stomach acid can also impair the absorption of iron and calcium.
It has given me ten kidney stones in the last 4 years.
NaHCO3 (sodium bi carbonate=baking soda) + HCl (stomach acid). ------> CO2 (Gas= belch) + H2O (water) + NaCl (Sodium chloride=table salt) = (relief in seconds😁)
Mr.Gut Dr what is reflux symptoms?
Can I just suggest a supplement called
Vogel alkaline powder (mango or lemon) drink first thing in the morning on an empty stomach, I drink it every day after PPIs stopped working
South Africa (clicks, dischem, checkers)
I vent to my doctor with the symptoms of pain in the chest area after eating. And he gave me astma medicin xD didn't do anything then called a new doctor and he just diagnosed me over the phone. Didn't even cross my mind that it could be acid reflux xD but just cut back on fatty food and especially milk products seemed to make it worse
I find that Nexium and Controloc do not help in an effective way and barely show results, moreover; they tend to make your digestion even worse and slower!
Cutting fried food, wheat products and being in a gluten-free diet are all what I need.
I finish every meal with 20 gm of unsalted high-quality butter and I have never experienced a single incident of reflux or burping for about 8 months now! No matter what I eat, I can enjoy protein, fat and carbs during my active hours and I wake up every morning ready for a big breakfast!!
Those antacids have done more harm than good to me. I will never take them whatsoever!
Hi i have had gerd and i had my gallbladder removed and also had stones in my bile ducts removed i was on 40 mg of somac tablets after the surgerys i came off the tablets but not slowly as no one said too i have had such a bad time with the acid again this time im sure the acid has slightly damaged my oesophagus and i have had chest pains with it so i went to the emergency but it wasnt my heart it was acid but i think its bile reflux not acid reflux that caused this as the somac tablets dont really take all the acid away i have gaverston about 5 times a day going up on the somac doesnt really change it can you do something on bile reflux i dont have a gastrologist im on the public health drs dont really understand and i can never get in to see the dr as she is soooo busy i think you doing a great job of putting your videos on youtube i thankyou for that
Could you please explain about Gut’s cancer

Please tell about GERD n how to treat it
I’m trying to get off Nexium after 15 years. But the acid reflux damage is still there and the acid comes up when I bend over and work. Can this be healed without getting back on Nexium. I would love to get my gut fixed. I have problems with low iron and I think it’s my gut. I’d like to fix my gut so my body can take in iron better. I’m not getting any iron and I have to take expensive iron infusions often. I do have 20 years of bulimia history when I was 15. I’m now almost 60 years old. Please help me get off my Nexium and stay off it. And Heal my gut.
Czy jest jakaś dieta na refluks ??? proszę o odpowiedź 🌹
Can Nexium be used for long term?
what about low stomach acid?
When you say stop smoking, does that only refer to cigarettes? I never smoke a cig, but I enjoy marijuana. Thanks for answering my question doc.
Usually any form of smoking or vaping. (30 yr nurse)
Hi Dr. Gut, I am taking ozempic. I burp and the food is smells as fermented or rotten. What do you think the problem is?
Same
Are you better now ?
Thank you for this video. I have a sliding Haiti’s hernia and ibs. I have also been treated for HCP. On top of all that I have diverticulitis. Bloating, heartburn and bad breath are just some of the unsociable effects I deal with constantly not to mention the pain! I was prescribed Omepetpzole but am put off of taking it after reading the possible side effects, some of the most worrying being: osteoporosis and dementia! I would really really appreciate it if I could understand how a decision is made to administer such medication to treat an ailment that had the potential to create other serious ailments that can result in an even lesser quality of life. Please pardon my ignorance it is more of a worried concern in an attempt to weigh up the pros cons and odds of my original problems developing into something more sinister without this prescription. Short version to my question is, are there alternatives and do I really need to take them/ likely consequences of not taking them. Please help. Respectfully awaiting and hoping for clarification for myself and all sufferers of this problem. Kind regards
You can try a Vogel alkaline powder supplement
Perhaps your body is reacting to the foods you're eating. Start thinking of root cause solutions. Grains, dairy and sugar are frequently the worst offenders.
Am having acid reflux GERD help me sir
Can GERD cause heart burn chest pain etc
Please reply to me
Can you do a video about life after intestinal surgery/resection? My daughter was born with intestinal malrotation which required surgery, along with a follow up surgery about 2 years later for small bowel obstruction caused by adhesions. Several years later she is now suffering from chronic abdominal pain over the past 6 months that comes and goes at various intervals. Her doctors have run all tests besides imaging to try and avoid unnecessary radiation. All of her tests (stool, urine, blood, food allergy) have come back normal with no sign of elevated inflammation markers. She does burp and pass gas more than normal, so we have assumed it may be bloating/gas pain but that still doesn't help us solve the problem. When we cut milk out of her diet she had no pain for several weeks, but then it started again and we felt defeated. Cutting carbs would probably be impossible for her since that's basically all of her favorite foods, but we have definitely tried our best to keep everything in moderation, especially added sugars. We can't even say for sure it has to do with diet because sometimes she even wakes up with pain in the morning after more than 12 hours with no food intake. It's just hard to see your child in pain and not be able to do anything to help and we can tell she is starting to get depressed feeling defeated like there is no end in sight for pain relief. Thanks Dr.
I hope she's getting well. Prayers 🙏
@@phengabpo5522 I appreciate that. She has her ups and downs, but hopefully the worst is behind her.
@@BlakeSuperior_Beats Im suffering from chronic gastritis also. It's really hard especially it has a perfect combo, ANXIETY. I'm feeling hopeless sometimes. I'm just praying for recovery soon.
@@phengabpo5522 I hope you find peace in knowing you are not alone. There are some great communities on Reddit where members discuss their journeys and share helpful information. I suggest you take a look if you haven’t already.
@@BlakeSuperior_Beats Thanks. Im searching it right now. I'm praying for healing and your daughter. All the best.
Man I was trusting you, to treat GERD what you need to do is to increase the acid in the stomach, a couple of shots of vinegar will stop the reflux quickly. Don't do it I you already have gastritis or ulcers...
Why do PPIs cause me to get bad mental health so I can’t take them?
All the above mentioned
Apple cider vinegar before meals cured my Acid reflux
Do you have to drink every meal or just one in a day
I wake up gasping for my air because of acid reflux and sometimes have to drink water or start vomiting and can't stop and feel is though I can't breathe. I have never been able to drink because of this . I'm afraid of dying from my sleep because of this. My doctors have all said I am healthy and don't see anything. It is something scary and don't want to keep living this way. Please help 🙏
Hey im suffering from that now what did u end up doing to help manage it and also what do I eat I've been only drinking water haven't eaten only couple crackers I cn take dwn. I'm so scared
Oh lord Jesus, please help us all with these problem. To heal our body and help doctors/scientists find a cure for all diseases. In our lord Jesus' name, Amen 🙏🏼 🙌🏼
This Is exactly how I feel. Chewing gum really helps me overcome that feeling atleast. It's so scary I feel like Al.also die in my sleep
im not a doctor or any specialist but all GERD, bloating, diarrhea, etc cause by viral infection (hpylori, sibo, bad fungus, etc)
Please explain silent reflux.
I believe only difference is patient does not feel or experience symptoms. Still occurring reflux.
I take Nexium twice a day. That's how bad my reflux is.
I was suffering from acid reflux issues in the past, but I’m glad it has been fixed by Dr.Emovon on CZcams..🙏🏿
Please somebody help me i have very bad acid reflux and gastritis how to treat 🙏🙏🙏
How are you now ?
@@laylaali9581 same n you
I am going to try to eat smaller meals and not so late at night. Will try to relate it to what I eat the next time it happens again. Just woke up from a scary regurgitation up into my mouth that was extremely acidic and will try to figure out what I eat that causes this.
I don't like going to doctors as they have been wrong on other ailments that I have found my own remedies for online. I know we are not supposed to diagnose ourselves, but I seem to have better answers for other things so far. Try to keep a record of what you ate before it happens and change things if you can. Use higher pillows to raise your upper body?
@@islandgal500 thank you so much may god recover you . I have chronic gastritis and haitel hernia I have chronic reflux and I fell nausea all the time . Do you have haitel hernia or stomach gastritis
