Most of our clients come to us with a significant complaint of heartburn, bloating, fatigue, indigestion, and burpings which have started and agitated after using antacids. Conventional medicine can help you to temporarily find relief from acid reflux by reducing the number of acids in the stomach, but what you may not be aware is that our gut is naturally acidic in nature as it Ph has be maintained to denature the protein, breakdown & digest the food, kill the unwanted bacteria that we ingest through food & water. without stomach acids, you can not digest or absorb the nutrients from your food. You may be told that suppressing stomach acids is the only way to cure GERD, but functional nutrition focuses on the onset of the symptoms and start a holistic approach to treat the causes of reflux rather than the sign of the reflux. There can be conditions like histamine intolerance, unhealed ulcers, Crohn's, bile insufficiency that can aggravate GERD symptoms, and yes, functional nutrition helps to heal with a holistic approach.
