Gerd Reflux
About Gerd Reflux
Heartburn and acid reflux are some of the most common reasons people come to DrTalks. Burning after meals, bloating and constipation, reflux that keeps you up at night, a baby with colic and reflux, and worries about long-term acid-blocking medication are all things these experts see every day. These talks also go past stomach acid. Reflux is tied to your gut bacteria, SIBO, a leaky gut lining, inflammation, stress, poor sleep and blood sugar. You'll find conversations on how reflux medications may affect bone health, why low stomach acid can cause trouble, what GI doctors can miss about acid reflux, and colic and reflux in babies. Doctors, dietitians and functional medicine practitioners explain what's actually going on, which tests are worth asking your provider about, from stool testing to SIBO breath tests and food sensitivity testing, and what helps, from probiotics, digestive enzymes and whole-food eating to herbs, better sleep and meal timing.
