What is the Best Way to Eliminate Acid Reflux?

Eliminate Acid Reflux by Avoiding These 7 Factors

A new study published in the Journal of Family Medicine and Primary Care researched lifestyle factors that contributed to acid reflux.

Eight factors that most people assumed would be the direct cause of acid reflux were actually found to have absolutely no effect.

Seven other easily avoidable lifestyle factors, however, were found to be the case of the majority of acid reflux cases.

The subjects for the study were 400 university students, with males comprising 56 percent of the group. They were given a gastroesophageal reflux disease questionnaire together with a questionnaire to record information like their sex, age, height, weight, habits, and typical diets.

An impressive 23.8 percent of them scored above the minimum score for acid reflux or GERD.

Male students were more likely than female students to suffer from acid reflux, and those with a family history of heartburn were more likely to have it.

Other causal factors were almost entirely under the student’s control.

These were:

1. smoking,

2. a high body-mass index that was above 25 kg/m2,

3. fast-food consumption,

4. tea consumption,

5. carbonated beverages consumption,

6. speedy eating,

7. sleeping within an hour after dinner.

Surprisingly, the consumption of coffee, fried foods, and spicy foods had no effect, and neither did inadequate sleep, between-meal snacking, the amount of physical exercise, breakfast skipping, or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory use.

Now if avoiding these seven factors is not enough, then you can use this simple home remedy to eliminate acid reflux in just five minutes. It contains three ingredients you already have in your kitchen and just takes five minutes to make…

Eliminate Acid Reflux - This Diet Is a Better Acid Reflux Treatment Than PPIs

This Diet Is a Better Acid Reflux Treatment Than PPIs [Proton pump inhibitors] are the standard treatment for acid reflux, but they have been linked with an increased long-term risk of stomach cancer, among other health problems.

As a result, we are always on the lookout for a treatment that is both safe and an effective remedy for acid reflux.

A new study published in the journal JAMA Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery may finally reveal the key to healing acid reflux.

And it comes in a form of a very healthy, popular diet, now proven more effective than proton pump inhibitors.

In the study, researchers examined medical records of people previously treated for acid reflux.

85 people with this condition were treated with PPIs and were given basic advice to avoid coffee, alcohol, chocolate, fatty foods, and spicy foods.

99 people were treated with the Mediterranean diet and alkaline water, combined with a similar list of foods and beverages to avoid.

The alkaline water had a pH above 8.0 and the Mediterranean diet was 90% plant-based.

All participants completed the standard Reflux Symptom Index before the treatment and six weeks after it started. A reduction of six or more points on the index means that the participant has experienced a clinically significant improvement in reflux symptoms.

In the PPI treatment group, 54.1% of patients experienced such a clinically significant drop in their symptoms.

In the diet change group, 62.6% of participants showed improvement that was clinically significant.

The average reduction in symptoms was 27.2% for the PPI treatment group and 39.8% for the diet change group.

This shows, firstly, that more people benefited from the Mediterranean diet and alkaline water combination than from the PPIs.

Secondly, the PPI treatment reduced acid reflux symptoms by a lot more than the diet change treatment managed to do.

But an even simpler way to eliminate acid reflux, is to use this 5-minute method to immediately rid yourself of acid reflux for good…

Eliminate Acid Reflux - A Scary-Sounding Acid Reflux Treatment (backed by a new study)

The journal Gastroenterology has just published a study revealing a very unusual but effective drug-free treatment for acid reflux.

And as scary as this treatment may sound, it’s actually quite safe.

The lower esophageal sphincter is the gatekeeper of your stomach.

In a healthy body, the lower esophageal sphincter opens when food needs to pass from the esophagus to the stomach and closes when no more food is coming. This prevents food and stomach acid from flowing back into the esophagus.

If this sphincter is too weak to close or it opens at inappropriate times, your stomach acid and half-digested food will come back up into your esophagus, causing the burning sensation and inflammation with which sufferers are so familiar.

The authors of the new study noticed that some physicians had started using electrical stimulation of this sphincter to try to restore its strength and normal function.

In response, Endostim, one of the providers of the technology, set up a global registry to record all cases of people who had received the treatment.

By February 2018, the details of 268 people from seven countries had been recorded on this registry, giving scientists a good sample of study participants to evaluate for the effectiveness of the electrical stimulation treatment.

53% of them suffered from moderate or severe acid reflux. This number dropped to 23% after three to six months, and even further to 20% after one year of treatment.

70% of the treated people were able to give up proton pump inhibitors completely.

16 patients experienced adverse health events, and six had to have the devices removed. This shows that it is a fairly safe treatment that is simultaneously very effective.

Electrical stimulation of the lower esophageal sphincter works via a device that works a bit like a pacemaker. It is implanted and can easily be removed if it does not work.

It will not work for everyone with acid reflux, however, only for those people whose lower esophageal sphincters have become dysfunctional.

If implementing an electric device inside of you doesn’t sound too good, do not despair.
