In the past one week, I accidentally discovered that eating less carbs had alleviated my GERD symptoms at night and also made me feel surprisingly energetic during the day. However, last night after I took a tablet of Nexium, my heartburn became worse within an hour and I couldn't sleep because of the gas. So I decided to look for the reason. As I read into your articles, everything starts to make sense and I finally understood why I had these problems. When I first had the stomach problem back in high school, I was under a tremendous amount of pressure in life. I had anxiety and insomnia. It has affected me both physically and mentally, and definitely affected my learning. I managed to get over the problems on my own. Now I'm in my early 20s, I wish I understood this earlier and made the life style change back when the problem first started. I want to thank you for sharing this valuable information! Your help is making great changes in people's lives! I want to try taking HCL before breakfast. Do you think using Enzymes would help more or not necessarily ? Best wishes, Teemix Hi Chris,

Wondering if the audio for this podcast is available? I've tried to download and/or listen on the site but to no avail. Is there something I'm doing wrong? Thanks so much for what you do.

I'm trying to find the final part (how to feel better without proton pump inhibitors) but all I can find is this audio link which I can't access because I can't register with Unleashed. Did you put the final chapter in writing? Where is it? Thank you. I read with interest the first five parts of your comments on GERD.

They're one of my favorite supplement companies, because they don't use fillers of any kind. Here's a <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Pure-Encapsulations-DGL-Plus-vcaps/dp/B001TOZX5I" rel="nofollow">link</a> to it on Amazon. Pure's products are expensive, but worth it if you appreciate the quality. You may be able to shop around for a better price - I just linked to the first one that came up.

Do you have any sources that do not contain artificial sweetners?  I did have had one source that tasted great and contained (unspecified) fruit sugar...again sugar. Thanks in advance for your reply & thank you too for all the work you do!   Regarding DGL~

I'll be doing more of that kind of thing in the future. Sourdough rye seems to work for many people who can't otherwise tolerate gluten. My advice would be to let your body be your guide. If you have no reaction after eating it, it's probably fine. I don't recommend drinking liquid during meals, with the exception of soup broth or small amounts of red wine. Hi Jeanne,

Your final article on GERD says to avoid liquids with meals to not dilute stomach acid. Could you clarify that for me?

Check out this post by Art Ayers at Cooling Inflammation.  Follow his suggestions and I’d be very surprised if your joint pain doesn’t diminish significantly.

Christian,

Thanks for your feedback.  I’m hoping to do more of that kind of thing.
