When run-of-the-mill acid reflux becomes deadly
If you’re one of the 66 million people in the US with acid reflux, you know the misery it causes. This can go WAY beyond a 4-alarm fire in your chest and include chest pain, regurgitation, coughing, difficulty swallowing and sore throat. But there’s another consequence of acid reflux that is far worse than belching or sleeping propped up on pillows. Barrett’s esophagus. Let’s look at this silent and potentially deadly condition, as well...
Gut on fire? Do what you need to do to stop it!
It amazes me when people complain about gut aches, heartburn, constipation, diarrhea, you-name-it, yet at the same time they are completely unwilling and resistant to doing what they need to do in order to feel better. They want so desperately to just eat the way they’ve always eaten, yet somehow magically feel great. I recently saw a comment from a member (I’ll call him “Bill”) of a Facebook digestive health support group that’s the...
Are you finally ready to end your IBS?
If you’ve been a reader of mine for a while, you are probably aware that I used to suffer from irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Looking back, I can say that my (former) condition was both a curse and a blessing. A curse, of course, because I suffered for many years with regular gas, bloating and anything-but-normal bowel movements. But it was also a blessing because, since I was able to eradicate my condition with...
Is there such a thing as pooping too much?
Judging by the sea of laxatives that can easily be found on the shelves of every pharmacy in the world, I think it’s safe to say that constipation is a common digestive issue. Whether it’s chronic and ongoing or occasional, most people at one time or another have needed a little assistance in getting Nature to call. But what about if you are the complete opposite of that? In other words, is it possible...
8 Signs you have leaky gut (and how to heal it)
Hippocrates, the Father of Modern Medicine, once said about 2,000 years ago, “All disease begins in the gut.” He was right on. When you consider all that, your gut does for you, it’s easy to see why Hippocrates zeroed in on it as the hot spot of health (or lack thereof). Your gallant gut: Houses 80 percent of your immune system Breaks down your foods so that you can use them for nourishment Absorbs...
You may have this “silent” condition and not even know it
Most times when something is awry in our bodies, we get pretty obvious hints. This is especially true of acid reflux (aka GERD) because most people with the condition experience heartburn on a very regular basis, along with burping, belching, post-nasal drip and in extreme cases, neck pain, and even heart palpitations! But there is another sneakier kind of reflux that doesn’t typically manifest itself as a burning chest or chronic belching. As a...
