Why Acid Reflux Is Caused?
- Paradoxically, acid reflux is caused by lack of stomach acidity, as a stronger stomach acidity is a trigger for lower esophageal sphincter to close. Whenever stomach lacks acid, the valve does not close properly leading to acid reflux.
- The proton pump inhibitors, which may work in the short term, by reducing stomach acid, would invariably create dependence and gradually damage the digestion process, creating deficiencies of fat soluble vitamins
Key Root Causes of Acid Reflux
Heart burn
Acute pain around diaphagrm
Back pain
How to combat Acid Reflux?
This can be personalized for you based on your blood test
- First step is to heal the stomach of any side effects of reflux: take chlorophyll in the right dosage.
- Another option is to have Apple Cider Vinegar just before meal to increases the stomach acidity and improve fat digestion, thereby reducing constipation
- Replenish the minerals and increase their absorption by popping some PepZin pills, so there is an increase in the stomach lining integrity. Frequency, sequence, and dosage is critical to the cure.

Acid reflux occurs when the lower esophageal sphincter weakens, allowing stomach acid into the esophagus. Causes include obesity, hiatal hernia, certain foods, smoking, pregnancy, and medications. Chronic reflux (GERD) can damage the esophageal lining.
While acid reflux is primarily diagnosed clinically, blood tests for H. pylori antibodies, inflammation markers (CRP, ESR), iron and B12 levels (chronic reflux impairs absorption), and liver function are important for comprehensive assessment.
Many cases improve significantly with lifestyle changes: weight loss, eating smaller meals, avoiding trigger foods (citrus, spicy, fatty foods), not lying down after eating, and elevating the head of bed. These modifications can eliminate symptoms for mild cases.
Common trigger foods include citrus fruits, tomatoes, chocolate, coffee, alcohol, spicy foods, garlic, onions, mint, and fatty or fried foods. Carbonated beverages can also worsen symptoms. Keeping a food diary helps identify personal triggers.
Seek medical attention for difficulty swallowing, unintended weight loss, vomiting blood, black stools, chronic cough, or symptoms persisting despite lifestyle changes. Long-term untreated GERD increases risk of Barrett's esophagus and esophageal cancer.
