Fastest Way to Combat Heartburn, GERD, and Acid Reflux!

What are fast remedies to combat heartburn, GERD, and acid reflux?

Let’s talk about it.

Gastrointestinal reflux disease or GERD is acid reflux from the stomach up into the esophagus and leads to the sensation of heartburn. GERD affects many Americans.

While there’s many over-the-counter products that are effective in treating heartburn, GERD, and acid reflux, my preference is to use more natural agents as a first-line remedy and for actual healing of the condition.

Heartburn, GERD, Acid Reflux Relief Options

Deglycerized Licorice

The fastest relief for heartburn, acid reflux, and GERD is deglycerized licorice or DGL.

Take two to four chewable DGL tablets between meals or 20 minutes before meals. DGL is particularly good at supporting the cells in your stomach that produce mucus to protect them. It does not necessarily reduce stomach acid but actually helps to protect your stomach. DGL is highly effective for fast relief. 

Ginger

Ginger can be helpful for GERD and works quickly. It is particularly good for indigestion leading to acid reflux. Sip ginger tea or chew ginger root or crystallized ginger for fast relief. The dose is no more than one to two grams per day because more access can actually increase heartburn. 

Mastic Gum

An ancient remedy for acid reflux is mastic gum. The recommended dose is 350 milligrams three times a day. Mastic gum is an ancient remedy from Greece that has been shown to heal the stomach lining and treat H pylori which is known to cause gastric ulcers.

Diet

Of course, avoiding spicy foods, nicotine alcohol, and prolonged fasting can help prevent GERD and heartburn. Be sure you sleep with the head of your bed elevated to avoid acid reflux. Even just your neck and shoulders elevated with pillows can help to reduce GERD.

Optimize Hypothalamus Function

Optimizing hypothalamus function can help heal GERD over time as the hypothalamus communicates directly with the gastrointestinal tract, governing gastric emptying, gastrin, and cholecystokinin function – hormones that control stomach mucus production and bile release. 

If you do suffer from GERD, it helps to mix Genesis Gold® with coconut water to neutralize the citric acid that stabilizes the greens.
