I’ve received several requests (folowing my media stories and blogs) asking about the natural (non-medication) options for reflux (GERD).
Note: Please, as always, contact me and / or your healthcare practitioner to discuss what’s right for YOU rather thank just taking any / all of these.
- Keep the digestive tract underwhelmed – small, frequent (about every 3 hours) eating occasions and chew food well
- Plant enzymes with eating occasions (especially with animal proteins) to help breakdown the food
- L-glutamine: this amino acid may aid tissue recovery
- Probiotic: please read my probiotic blog (strain specificity and quantity are key)
- Omega 3s may help reduce any inappropriate inflammation of the digestive tract
- Chew deglycyrrhizinated licorice (DGL) between meals this amino acid may aid tissue recovery
- Mastic gum has antibacterial properties
- Read my blog about the TEN (the essential nutrients)
- Magnesium citrate or glycinate before bed to improve motility.
