Did you know that reflux is often caused by low stomach acid?

If you have been diagnosed with reflux or GORD (gastro-oesophageal reflux disease), you would likely be familiar with medications that reduce the acid in your stomach, such as PPI's (proton pump inhibitors). Are they the answer? Yes and No, you need to assess the risk vs reward ratio for your specific needs.

In this episode I discuss some of the pros and cons of these medications, some common drivers of reflux, useful strategies for reducing reflux,  and why it is important to explore diet and lifestyle solutions as part of you treatment.
