GERD is a side effect of overlapping medical conditions and doing anything simply to ameliorate symptoms of GERD is as foolish as taking pain medication for cancer. You must resolve each of the conditions contributing to GERD and it will reconcile of its own accord.
I know. Been there. Btw, PPIs are POISON.
AMA board-certified MDs are idiots in this realm and anyone suffering GERD should consult both with their pharmacist - if it’s medication-induced - and a naturopath.
Remember: So-called ‘doctors’ thought stomach ulcers were caused by stress not so long ago and the system persecuted/ridiculed the one doctor who found the cause and the cure for 20 years before finally acknowledging his achievement with the Nobel Prize.
Many people will suffer & die before the system stops playing pharmaceutical bingo with peoples’ lives.
The choice to stop playing lies not with the doctor, but the patient.
Well said.
