Reflux and GERD
GASTROESOPHAGEAL REFLUX DISEASE (GERD) AND REFLUX OCCUR WHEN STOMACH ACID FLOWS BACK INTO THE OESOPHAGUS, CAUSING DISCOMFORT AND SOMETIMES LONG-TERM COMPLICATIONS.
While occasional heartburn is common, chronic reflux can significantly impact your quality of life, leading to symptoms that disrupt sleep, diet, and daily activities. Many people endure these symptoms as their “normal,” but it doesn’t have to be that way.
​
If you’ve relied on long-term use of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) like Omeprazole, you may already know they don’t address the root cause of reflux. While they can offer temporary relief, long-term use comes with potential health risks, such as nutrient deficiencies, gut imbalances, and more.
Symptoms
BURNING SENSATION IN THE CHEST (HEARTBURN), ESPECIALLY AFTER EATING
REGURGITATION OF FOOD OR SOUR LIQUID
DIFFICULTY SWALLOWING OR FEELING LIKE FOOD IS STUCK
CHRONIC COUGH OR THROAT IRRITATION
HOARSENESS OR A LUMP-IN-THROAT SENSATION
Our approach
At RE:Health, we understand that reflux and GERD are often more complex than “too much stomach acid.” We focus on identifying and addressing the root causes, such as dietary triggers, gut microbiome imbalances, hiatal hernia, or stress. Using advanced lab testing and the latest evidence-based strategies, we create a personalised plan to help you reduce reflux, improve digestion, and promote healing.
​
​Our goal is to not only relieve your symptoms but also empower you to regain control of your health—without relying on medications long-term.
