Thanks for sharing your experience. ❤️ Digestive enzymes seem to make a big difference for some people, especially if poor digestion, bloating, belching, or feeling overly full after meals are part of the picture.
The challenge is that reflux can have multiple contributing factors, which is why one person improves with enzymes, another with dietary changes, and someone else by addressing things like a hiatal hernia or tissue irritation.
It's always encouraging to hear when someone finds an approach that works long term.
What if acid reflux isn’t caused by too much acid? A functional medicine doctor says that’s where most people go wrong. And why relief doesn’t last. Click below to discover what’s really going on. ↓
That's amazing. ❤️ And honestly, it's a great example of why identifying your personal triggers can be so powerful.
Tomatoes are a common reflux trigger, but triggers are highly individual. For anyone struggling with reflux, keeping a food and symptom journal for a few weeks can be incredibly helpful.
We're also sharing a weekly Reflux Recovery Diet series over at r/RefluxRecovery (https://t.co/tUiLdWrXK3), covering what to eat, what to avoid, meal timing, the first 7 days, and how to reintroduce foods for long-term success.
Hope you'll join the discussion and share what's worked for you!
That's a great point. ❤️ Chronic anemia can sometimes be associated with underlying digestive issues, and iron deficiency may be a sign that something deserves a closer look.
If you're dealing with ongoing reflux, digestive symptoms, fatigue, or unexplained anemia, it's worth discussing with your healthcare provider and making sure you're getting appropriate testing rather than just treating symptoms in isolation.
If acid blockers solved reflux… why are so many people still taking them years later?
A physician of 20+ years believes long-term use may be a major mistake. ⚠️
Because masking symptoms isn’t the same as fixing the cause.

I'm sorry you went through that. ❤️ Long-term acid suppression can affect the absorption of certain nutrients, including calcium, magnesium, iron, and vitamin B12 in some people. Were you able to find an alternative approach that worked for you after that? I'm sure others here would be interested in hearing what helped.
That's great that you found an approach that worked for you. ❤️ Many people notice improvements when they give their digestive system a break, reduce overeating, and focus on simpler, whole foods for a period of time.
As for spinach and lettuce, they're both nutritious foods and can be part of a reflux-friendly diet for many people. The bigger takeaway is that you've identified habits that help your symptoms—which is often one of the most valuable things a reflux sufferer can do.
We completely understand. ❤️ Not everyone has the luxury of experimenting, and for many people PPIs like Nexium are incredibly helpful and necessary.
If you're taking a PPI long term, it's worth talking with your doctor about monitoring nutrients like vitamin B12 (and sometimes magnesium), since absorption can be affected in some people.
Some people do find fermented foods and drinks helpful, and kombucha works well for certain individuals.
That said, kombucha can also be a trigger for others because it's acidic and carbonated, which may worsen reflux symptoms in some people. Like many things with reflux, it's very individual.
The best approach is to pay attention to how your body responds and adjust accordingly. ❤️
For some people, identifying and avoiding trigger foods can make a huge difference, and that's always a great place to start. ❤️
The challenge is that triggers vary widely from person to person. Some people react to certain meats, while others are more sensitive to coffee, alcohol, chocolate, spicy foods, tomato products, large meals, or late-night eating.
Many people can manage reflux with diet and lifestyle changes alone, while others need additional support. The key is figuring out what works for your body.
Excess weight can absolutely increase the risk of reflux for some people by increasing pressure on the abdomen, and many people see significant improvement when they lose weight.
That said, reflux also affects plenty of people who are lean, athletic, and otherwise healthy. Factors like hiatal hernias, LES function, digestive health, medications, pregnancy, and individual anatomy can all play a role.
Reflux is complicated enough without assuming everyone's situation is the same.
That's great to hear. ❤️ One of the things we've learned is that reflux triggers can be surprisingly individual. For some people, removing certain foods or ingredients, whether it's high fructose corn syrup, alcohol, caffeine, or something else, can make a dramatic difference.
For anyone trying to identify their own triggers, a simple tip is to keep a food and symptom journal for 2–3 weeks. Patterns often emerge that aren't obvious day to day. Common triggers can include large meals, late-night eating, alcohol, caffeine, chocolate, spicy foods, tomato products, and even stress.
The goal isn't necessarily to avoid everything forever—it's to figure out what your body reacts to and make adjustments from there.
😂 Fair enough. If this whole supplement thing doesn't work out, Dr. Passero may have a future in late-night infomercials.
The good news is you don't have to take his word for it—every order comes with a 1-year, no-questions-asked money-back guarantee. Even if you finish the entire jar or bottle, you can still get a full refund if you're not satisfied. The only thing at risk is finding out he was right.
Great question. Durable ACID RELIEF is currently naturally sweetened with stevia leaf extract, not sugar. It contains 0 calories, 0 grams of sugar, and is free from artificial sweeteners.
We're also excited that in the coming months we'll be launching an updated version featuring monk fruit sweetener. It's something many customers have requested, and we're always looking for ways to make a great product even better while keeping the formula clean and effective. 😊
Hi there! We're happy to answer any questions you may have. 😊
Whether you're wondering about ingredients, how the product works, who it's for, or what to expect, just ask.
And if you decide to give Durable a try, every product is backed by our 1-year, no-questions-asked money-back guarantee. Even if you finish the entire jar or bottle, you can still get a full refund if you're not satisfied.
Those are actually some of the most common reflux triggers, and a lot of people see a huge improvement when they cut back on alcohol, coffee, late-night eating, and foods that trigger their symptoms.
I'd add a few more that often help:
• Eat smaller meals
• Chew slowly and don't rush meals
• Stay upright for 2–3 hours after eating
• Elevate the head of your bed if nighttime reflux is an issue
• Manage stress, which can be a surprisingly powerful trigger
For many people, lifestyle changes like these end up being just as important as anything they take. ❤️
Thanks for sharing your experience. It's interesting how differently people can respond. Some people do find that addressing low stomach acid or improving digestion helps significantly, while others have reflux that's driven more by factors like a hiatal hernia, LES dysfunction, inflammation, or irritation of the esophageal tissue.
That's one reason there's rarely a one-size-fits-all solution. What works incredibly well for one person may not work for another. ❤️
The point isn't that acid plays no role. Acid is what causes the burning and tissue irritation. The point is that many reflux sufferers have contributing factors beyond acid alone, such as inflammation, a weakened mucosal lining, digestive dysfunction, hiatal hernias, or LES issues. That's why Durable ACID RELIEF takes a different approach. Instead of simply suppressing acid, it provides ingredients designed to soothe, protect, and support the repair of irritated tissues in the esophagus and stomach while supporting a healthier digestive environment.
And of course, it's backed by a 1-year, no-questions-asked money-back guarantee. Use the entire container and if you're not satisfied, you can still get your money back.
Many specialists absolutely do address those factors, and we don’t mean to imply otherwise.
The point is that many patients still end up with acid suppression as the main long-term tool, even when reflux can involve multiple contributors. Our goal isn’t to dismiss physicians, but to help people understand why supporting the irritated lining can be a useful part of the broader conversation.
Fair point. To clarify, most physicians don't believe reflux is simply caused by "too much acid." The reason acid-suppressing medications are commonly prescribed is because acid is what damages and irritates the tissue once reflux occurs.
The point Dr. Passero is making is that while reducing acid can help manage symptoms, it doesn't always address other contributing factors such as LES dysfunction, hiatal hernias, inflammation, digestive imbalances, delayed gastric emptying, or irritation of the esophageal tissue itself.
So it's less about "too much acid vs. too little acid" and more about understanding all the factors that may be contributing to reflux in the first place.
It certainly can be. For some people, excess acid is absolutely part of the problem. The point isn't that reflux is never caused by too much acid—it's that reflux is often more complex than acid alone.
Factors like LES function, hiatal hernias, inflammation, a weakened digestive lining, irritated esophageal tissue, digestive imbalances, meal timing, body weight, posture, and gastric emptying can all influence symptoms. That's why two people can have similar reflux symptoms but respond to very different approaches.
That's great that you were able to identify your triggers. ❤️ For some people, avoiding specific foods can make a huge difference. Common triggers include things like alcohol, caffeine, chocolate, spicy foods, tomato products, large meals, and eating too close to bedtime.
The challenge is that triggers can be very different from person to person, which is why paying attention to your own patterns is often so valuable.
