Acid Reflux/Heartburn

Drs. Coleman and Hashimoto have addressed these issues many times, and would create a customized nutrition plan along with a prescription of herbs and supplements correct the problem.

Also know as Gastro-Esophageal reflux Disease (GERD). About 40 million Americans suffer from acid reflux/heart burn at a cost of about $10 billion annually. $500 million is spent on antacids alone. With acid reflux/heartburn/GERD the lower esophageal spincter opens spontaneously, for varying periods of time, or does not close properly and the stomach contents rise up into the esophagus. The main symptom is heart burn, but some may experience a dry cough, asthma symptoms or trouble swallowing. Diet is one of the best ways to correct this problem. If you are currently taking a proton pump inhibitor, you should ask yourself the question. “Am I having heartburn because I don’t have enough prilosec, etc. in my body, or can it possibly be from my lifestyle?”

Here are some suggestions: avoid gluten and dairy, eat slowly and chew your food and don’t drink fluids with meals. Drs. Coleman and Dr. Hashimoto in La Quinta, CA have addressed these issues many times, and would create a customized nutrition plan along with a prescription of herbs and supplements correct the problem.
