Q. I have been suffering from Acid Reflux and Gastritis. Ive tried Manuka Honey which does help me plus ProBiota 12 Powder from the website . Is there something I'm doing wrong? Also my cholesterol numbers have been over 200 and cant seem to keep them at a normal range . The doctor tells me that it I have be taking cholesterol medication. I would rather go for natural products. Is there any suggestions that might help me?
A. For Gastritis: Test for Helicobacter pylori via the Urease Breath Test. More effective than the stool antigen test.
Heal the gastritis with L-Glutamine Powder by Seeking Health. In one liter of water, add 20 grams of L Glutamine and sip throughout the entire day between meals. Also eat more garlic, take Zinc Carnosine and consider Gastric Repair Complex by Biogenesis to help heal the ulcer and reduce the symptoms of acid reflux and GERD.
Continue Manuka honey between meals and the ProBiota 12 Powder. Make sure you take ProBiota 12 Powder after dinner and a potent dose of 1/2 teaspoon which is 200 billion beneficial bacteria.
Saccharomyces boulardii has also shown promise in eradicating H pylori. Give it a shot. Consider 1 capsule three times a day for two months then stop.
For Acid Reflux: Eat smaller, more frequent meals. Avoid spicy foods, gluten especially wheat, tomatoes, coffee, tea. Sleep with your bed elevated. Before meals, drink 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar in a half glass filtered water with 2 tablespoons of lemon juice. SIP slowly. Once feeling of warmth begins, stop. Then eat.
Once gastritis is healed and gone, and you still have acid reflux or GERD, then supplement with PreGestion by Seeking Health during meals to assist the breakdown of your food by adding stomach acid.
High Cholesterol: hard to say without seeing HDL and LDL levels. Reduce your risk of atherosclerosis by testing for Homocysteine, CRPhs and 5-MTHFR gene mutation. Also consider supplementing with HomocysteX by Seeking Health to reduce homocysteine, Flow Fx by Seeking Health to reduce fibrin and Active CoQH, soy free 50 mg Ubiquinol, by Seeking Health to support antioxidants and heart health.
