Are you tired of the "fire" in your throat? 🔥 If you’ve been told to just "avoid spicy food" but aren't getting better, this video is for you.

We also tackle the massive misconception about low stomach acid and why your PPI might actually be making your digestion worse. It’s time to stop guessing and start becoming an advocate for your own gut health. *Timestamps:* 00:15 – How "Vitamin I" (Ibuprofen) caused my stomach ulcers at age 17 01:23 – H. pylori: The truth about triple and quadruple therapy 02:40 – Myth Buster: Why spicy food isn’t the root cause of your heartburn 03:00 – The "Little Valve": How low stomach acid keeps your esophagus open 03:40 – Why we actually NEED stomach acid for B12 and minerals 04:30 – Common meds (Aspirin & Steroids) that irritate the gut lining 05:40 – The surprising link between Osteoporosis meds and reflux 07:20 – 3 "Healthy" supplements that are actually reflux triggers 08:14 – The #1 rule for taking B-Vitamins to avoid instant nausea #HeartburnRelief #AcidRefluxTips #GutHealthMatters #Hpylori #StomachUlcer #DigestiveHealth #FunctionalMedicine *** _Disclaimer: This podcast is for educational purposes only and does not constitute medical advice.
