The real causes of acid reflux and GERD.
Your stomach naturally makes a strong liquid called hydrochloric acid, which is made out of hydrogen and chlorides. Unfortunately when the stomach acid becomes too alkaline, a signal is sent to keep the valve above your stomach relaxed an open, allowing acid to reflux into the food pipe, triggering heartburn and pain in the chest.
In this video we explore the 6 main underlying causes of acid reflux and why this happens, including a relaxed LES valve above the stomach, weak stomach acid (too alkaline), overuse of antacids, chloride deficiency, high cortisol and food sensitivities.
We also explore some simple ways to fix these problems using lifestyle changes, natural remedies and nutritional supplements..
