Founder of the FLORA™ App
BS + MS Nutrition Science, Boston University
Hello & welcome! I’m so glad you’re here.
💠 My Story.
When I was an undergrad nutrition student at Boston University, my digestive health issues were at their worst. I remember standing in the grocery store re-reading the label on a box of crackers, filled with overwhelm and confusion. I felt totally lost as to what to eat or how to eat due to my digestive issues. After dozens of doctor appointments, ER visits, and medical tests, my anxiety was at an all-time high and my list of “safe foods” was dwindling every day. When my doctors were at a loss for advice and my condition was not improving - I knew I needed to take my healing into my own hands.
When I finally realized that my mind and gut were connected - everything changed. I prioritized self-care and mindfulness practices in order to pull myself out of constant “fight or flight mode”. Instead of restricting, I started nourishing my gut and living my life again. Much to my surprise, my digestive system responded and began to heal. Through the power of individualized nutrition and lifestyle changes, my health (and my life) transformed.
Fast forward to today - I’m a Gut Health Registered Dietitian and recovered from severe IBS/GERD. My approach to nutrition counseling is rooted in science and built on the foundation that everyone has unique nutrition and lifestyle needs. It’s my mission (and greatest joy) to help you discover your root causes of imbalance, and share with you evidence-based, integrative wellness tools - so you too can heal your gut, repair your relationship with food, and live your absolute best life.

If you are suffering from acid reflux get some sodium alginate. I get mine in capsule form but you can get powder. I take two to three capsules a day. I've been suffering from a chronic cough caused by acid reflux for a couple of years. I've tried it all and this is the only thing that has helped me. Please look it up. I will never be without it.
Do u take it with meals?
@@marilynwilson618 usually but I try to take it at least 3 times a day. The ones I take are 300 mg. I get the Swanson brand and there are many brands out there but I don't know about any of them. I only choose that one because I saw it was third party tested.
Is it good for silent reflux too?
Hi and thank u for sharing ur journey 🙏how long is safe to be on s boulardi
I have been on it for a year
I’m afraid to stop it
I just started slippery elm and Licorice according to what u said for my gerd
I also have sibo
Thank u
Ur response is appreciated ❤
hello @sherridiv.3259 which slippery elm are u using? powder or capsule? is it improving?
Hi Molly. Thanks for your informative videos. I bought the NOW Slippery Elm Powder but like many other NOW reviewers, I find it does not gel and is not mucilaginous. Do you have another brand to suggest? Thanks!
I like Vital Nutrients the best!
Do you ever recommend a client to take all of these products at at once?
Chewing too much gum can actually cause problems too because air is swallowed in the process leading to belching which seems to provoke symptoms
If nothing helped to get rid of reflux, you may try eating for a few days fruits such as red apple delicious or Fuji apples. It worked for us and acid reflux never came back.
In what order do you take those products molly?
Doc prescribes antibiotics for h pylori (stool test), any way to avoid taking it?
Hey Molly, any recommendations on supplements that help break down food? I feel like I get full too fast even with tiny meals and it feels like it takes too long for my stomach to digest the food, like it feels like the food i ate 3 hrs ago is still sitting there. Maybe I have low stomach acid? Appreciate any advice!
Try betaine hcl, they even have some with pepsin and gentian bitters. It's for digestion. Look it up. You might also have low stomach acid, or it's not acidic enough.
How long we have to use these supplement
Also, I understand the powder is better than the capsule for Slippery Elm, but I tried the capsule. Is it normal for it to make your stomach hurt?
I’m so tired of my gerd I have a severe case I’m sure it’s effecting everything my teeth health everything I’m so tired of it I’m only 27 it’s very life ruining!! 😢
lol damn why so many of us young guys have this
@@cissem4025 I don’t know but I’m sure I know where it started from I use to drink heavy alcohol in 2018 2019 before I was spiritually awakened and I binge ate lots of buffalo sauce franks on every meal no reg hot sauce the thick buffalo but I was young and didn’t know nutrition like I do now and it’s so hard reversing this stuff I’ve done everything I’ve detoxed I’ve went two weeks eating everything on diets plan and it’s still here the surgery cost 💲 and I’ve never wanted surgery really anyway but it’s just to much idk man this ish is the worst it literally goes nowhere it started off as gastritis in 2017 then progressed from there! SMH 🤦🏽♂️
I'm sorry, man. You'll have to make some hard lifestyle choices, and that's mainly going to be diet. Cut out all the junk in your diet, and you'll be okay. Trust me. Give yourself time. Alcohol and caffeine were a hard one for me, but I dont even miss it anymore. Don't give up take long walks for stress and do breathing exercises. Also try to eat dinner at 4 pm. Good luck.

@@pcbrook84 thank you!! Yes I know I’m a healer I am plant 🌱 based I’ve been for awhile now I’ve tried so many things and nothing gets it gone completely! It comes back off and on I just pray because it’s really life changing I feel for anyone that faces it I believe it’s some way tho to handle this Gerd! The only way to get rid of it is eat completely bland forever and that’s not living it’s like I can’t eat anything that’s halfway good I’ve even been eating fruit and broth for two weeks and it’s still here but thank you for your loving words they are really motivating me!! Honestly 🫂
If you take the alginate after every meal, are you allowed to drink any water after? I know hydration is important for LPR but I’m not sure if taking the alginate will cut back on drinking water.
Hi dear i was interested in gastrocare supplement but on amazon the rating is very low and people saying not same formula .wht happened to thia?
What's your view on Pylopass? Does it really help if the root cause is H. Pylori bacteria?
I found drinking or eating something a bit acid after meals calms down my reflux. it could be something like a few strawberries or diluted apple cider vinegar. also d limonene helped
a lot. Worst things for acid reflux are overeating in one sitting, eating late at night and being sedentary. Gravity helps a lot to push everything down. Take a short walk after meals.
In our case, we used to avoid certain foods and drinks which triggers acid reflux. . But not anymore. fruits such red apple delicious and Fuji apples was the cure. We ate those apples for a few days and we're amazed acid reflux was gone and never came back.
Exactly this work for me too.Before every meal eat or drink something acidic. After meal walk. Suffered years and then I decide I will try ACV because it could be opposite. Just too low stomach acid to digest food. And it works. Simple as it is.
@@DanaAdamcova-ir9dd yes and my doctors kept prescribing and upping the PPI's! It was adding to the problem! Glad you found a solution.
I don’t have any obvious reflux issues, no indigestion, bloating etc, I have too much mucus that I’m coughing up all day. An X-ray before Christmas didn’t show any issue with my lungs, so I’m thinking LPR, but I’m not sure if that’s causing the mucus. Doctor has referred me to some respiratory specialists, ENT etc, but those appointments are likely to be weeks to months away. I’d really like to resolve the mucus issue and get rid of the cough before having to go to those appointments. Any ideas or suggestions on what I could try would be very much appreciated.
Hi , so I have question about reflux Gourmet I have low acid reflux and same time I have gastritis and acid reflux so can I take reflux gourmet because I see it has sodium bicarbonate?
What if I just recently found out I have PCOS & I have taken DGL?
Under eating? Yikes. I just stopped eating altogether because no matter what I ate (or didn’t), the LRP just got worse.
Oy! I honestly have lost all hope.
You got this don’t give up! I am on my 5th day and no pain! I could had gone further if I had not eat that sugary donuts that day that was dum choice !!! Ugh 😑 but I am back to it again and I will not make the same mistake. I am afraid of what I eat too but don’t take your food without backup! Mine is licorice root chew gum right after food if it hurts don’t ignore it what cause it again? I bought all sorts of natural Medicine and I am determined to heal it!
I was eating so good same food for 3 days without hurting and then it was hurting and I was like what cause it and it wasn’t the food it was the time I ate it and went to sleep right away! Don’t lay down with your food! I been really focus on this! It’s back to not hurting! I have it under control
What about magnesium carbonate?
Hi I had Anorexia and I developed reflux from it. Post weight recovery I've been taking your advice on eating 80% full, slow chewing and eating up right and intuitive, exercising, and have had to eat trigger foods sparingly. My symptoms have improved but I do notice flare ups for seasoned food, chocolate, and very sweet dairy or icy products. What other tips do you recommend?
i also developed GERD from anorexia!! hope you are recovering well. i'd try aloe vera, DGL chews, slippery elm tea
@@palomaathens3171 how have these worked for you?
Has anyone else tried that same Alginate product? Sometimes it works for me and other times it doesn’t :/
I take the 5ml 30 minutes before bed and have no water or anything after. I read that it naturally dissolves and digests on its own but it’s definitely dissolving before I wake up :/
I thought ppi does not address the root cause. All it does takes stops production of acid
We don't have enough acid. We don't want to stop it. Acid reflux or GERD.
Hey Molly, my root cause is a hiatal hernia. Occasionally experiencing shortness of breath but it's constant . Worse after eating food or exercising (I'm very sporty). Also get the globus feeling. I'd really like help. Any way I could contact you for an appointment regarding my reflux. I'm Australian but I'm feeling desperate to get this sorted (especially the breathing)
I hope you fully got rid of acid reflux already. In our case we ate red apple fruits such as red apple delicious and Fuji apples to treat acid reflux and it went away for good. It only took a few days.
@@rodrigobalibalita12How does that work?
Get your hernia operated on and go fron there
I just bought Magnesium citrate I been tested for H Pylori and I don't have it .
Are bad backaches a symptom of gerd?
Does anyone get constant postnasal drip from LPR? For almost 5 weeks I've had continuous post nasal drip swallowing swallowing swallowing and it never stops.
Yes I had it before and totally beat it by following advises from internet).
@@LiraSola how did you do this??
I have hyperthyroidism gerd gastritis
Anxiety brain fog
I have lpr which I think is being caused by a hiatial hernia and high blood calcium, what foods can I eat that,won't upset the lpr yet provide me with adequate calories and nutrition
Get the book Dropping Acid The Reflux Diet by Dr Jamie Kouffman. She's the pioneer on reflux
my issue is that ive had 2 stool tests done by 2 different clinics both came back with nothing wrong and 1 of them said my good bacteria was really good ,ive also had a endoscopy done and they did a tissue test that came back good no h pylori . so the 4 docs ive seen all it's IBS and that i will never be 100% better and my GI issues all started with heartburn every 3-4 days then that turned into daily acid reflux then a month or 2 later my thyroid has been affected (hypo) , i also get really tired to the point that pass out after eating dinner i know it's not my blood sugar because i just went to the doc to have a blood test done and that is at a 89 . im still trying to find out the root cause since ive been dealing with this for 7 years now
I took alginate on Gaviscon dual action but it didn’t work much. Is that a different type of alginate?
I like Gaviscon advanced Anniseed but its only available in the UK. To ensure efficacy, you have to make sure you take it correctly, most ppl will take after meals or 30 min before bed. When taking before bed, do not eat or drink after :)
How do you know if you have low acid or high acid? I have LPR only
I was able to determine with the food reaction I get. I know I have high-acid because I react badly to acidic fruits and some foods. Even apple cider vinegar also not good for me
Glutamine is awesome
How much to take and when. Tell all please. June 10,2024
@@eddieabbott370 just a little, 1 gram max per day. Its the Best thing i use for indigestion or any gut problems
Is it true to take apple. Cider vinegar?
Yes! Help me so much. Most gerd is due to lack of acids.
do you accept health insurance?
I don't directly take insurance but I can provide a Superbill which many of my clients have received partial or full reimbursement :) If you would like to hop on a call for questions heres a link to request one! www.mollypelletier.com/inquiry-form
Am grateful to Dr Emovon on CZcams who has given so much of himself to keep me healthy and safe from acid reflux. You are a perfect combination of responsibility and care. Thank you for taking care of your patients so delicately. Your positivity, helpfulness, and dedication to patients really stand out..👍👍
I'm suffering from this acid reflux and stomach Ulcer, stomach pain and chest pain for the past 8 months now! I've been taking antibiotics for the past 8months now yet nothing.... I've lost a lot of weight. I can no longer go to work! I don't know what else to do anymore! I don't take alcohol, I don't smoke! Why this disease?
Antibiotics make things worse.
@@KARIS1961 , I think you are right. I've been taking antibiotics for months now but it keeps getting worse. I'm just scared. My stomach is hurting me really bad
Sorry to hear this. 😕 Can you try Mastic gum? It’s been working for people with stomach pain. If you search for it in YT, you’ll find some informative videos. Hope this helps. ❤@@humbleugoo8306
Believe in the healing of Jesus.
Are you better?
Summary please?
Magnesium bysglycinate took away my pain.
What type Mag was this and please tell how much to take and when. Why folks don't tell
@@eddieabbott370 I stated the name of it above. I just followed directions on the bottle, I think 2 tabs per day?
Thank you Dr.Emovon on CZcams for your kindness towards humanity am very grateful that I was able to get rid of my bad breath problem with the help of your supplement I really appreciate your kindness..👍
Realistically, how can we find our root causes? If we see 3-5 different doctors for the same thing. They will all see a different root cause. I’m really hesitant on seeing a gi for an endoscopy, mainly because I’m worried they won’t find anything out the ordinary.
uploading a video on that right now!!! check back in 20 min on this link czcams.com/video/ftGh4K0qAPQ/video.html
I hope you already got rid of acid reflux. In our case it only took a few days to get rid of acid reflux. We ate alkaline in nature fruits such as red apple delicious and Fuji apples after a church member suggested them. We were amazed the treatment worked for us and acid reflux never came back. Totally gone til' this day.
does slipperey elm help with IBS ?
Do you not like enzymes?
depends on the person! sometimes i use them!
Any recommendations for someone who has small hiatal hernia, loose esophageal sphincter, esophagitis 1st degree?
Symptoms are only LPR on daily basis for the last 5 months not crazy things but in general i have strange voice on daily basis. My gastroenterologist who did the endoscopy recommended no surgery because my hiatal hernia is very small but symptoms of LPR are there every day(he says is because of my stress and thinking about it all the time-which is true but i cannot do anything about it because i have it )
I take 1 teaspoon of slippery elm with small portions of tumeric and ginger every morning and dgl chewable 1.5 hours before breakfast, then after 30-45 mins i take my PPI, and then after 30 mins i take gaviscon dual action.
Then after lunch i take my gaviscon dual action. At night i take dgl 30 mins before small dinner and then after 30 mins gaviscon dual again.
I take some vitamins as well during the day, in the morning after breakfast i take magnesium, vitamin d, vitamin c, and l-glutamine before taking the PPI. After lunch time i take B complex before i take my gaviscon.
Omg I have the same symptoms. Could share with me your progress so far? I'd appreciate it
Noo magnezium oxide
Can i do breath test for h pylori
What healthcare provider is prescribing supplements??? They rather prescribe drugs and you know that. I’m usually impressed with what you have to say but I absolutely do not agree with you on this one. I know you’re now a licensed dietician but please continue to be transparent and honest. The patient ourselves find these supplements not the medical doctors. Maybe a holistic doctor I could see doing this but not a medical doctor. Our healthcare providers will not support none of this.
Many ENT docs use alginates see my recent interview w/ Dr. Inna Husain Harvard trained MD :)
Also, I completely understand the challenges of the conventional medicine system as I have been through it myself and also worked in the system. That is why I make these videos as a resource :)
@@MollyPelletierRDhello molly please make a video on HCL THANKS
Can't watch with distracting music going.
Why this annoying music ???…
I got rid of GERD and IBS almost immediately after going on a keto diet, not to mention that I lost 100 pounds of fat in 12 months. Why take any supplements when you can just change your diet?
I was in Keto diet for a year and NO GERD at all, until lately I started ruining my diet and now my GERD is back 😢
@@user-ro7ol9hd4hWell, you just proved to yourself that GERD is caused by diet and can be healed by a proper diet. I had a bad case of psoriasis and armpit tags that disappeared within 3 months on the keto diet also. The benefits are overwhelming.
How much is the product I don’t like Meds because they are just bandaids 🩹 not addressing the issue which can also be bad cause it causes you to ignore the problem which can further be bad I believe in diet change as a healer and getting gut health together but gerd still is here I’ve done it all I even detox with psyllium husk powder which worked the first time ever using it but after my body adapted now it barely works as much but it still does! I just need other ways I can get rid of this for good! It effects my facial appearance as well which is bottom line for me! ❗️
Same here 😢
@@yloivsined9846 I pray we find a solution together!! This sucks for us both hang in there sport! ✨❗️🥹🫂I pray we find something! We will!
Sometimes bandaids are helpful to allow irritation to heal for long term success :)
@@MollyPelletierRD meds have side affects many at least and I usually go the natural way however I just started eating guavas and sour sops and my Gerd symptoms have cleared completely! Since the last comment I made which was surprising I’m always searching praying and experimenting and my Gut have felt the best it’s ever now giving me answers to how I can also help heal others maybe by creating a Guava sour sop supplement to treat others gerd problems!! 😇🌱✨
A natural way to neutralize and get rid of acid reflux is by eating fruits which are alkaline in nature such as red apple delicious and Fuji apples. Try it for a few days to ensure success in treating it. It worked for us, it may work for you also.
