LCHF Diet Cures Gastro-Esophageal Reflux Disease In Women

European-American? I presume that’s American females who are of European descent rather than Oriental, Eskimo, African, etc.

LCHF in my heading refers to low-carb, high-fat.

GERD is gastro-esophageal reflux illness, i.e., frequent or extreme heartburn. GERD is the most typical need to utilize a proton pump inhibitor drug like Prilosec. It’s pricey. I run across patients taking it every day for years.

Dr. Michael Eades has a fantastic message about GERD and also the possible downsides of proton pump preventions (PPIs):

The scientific literary works has revealed lasting PPI treatment to be associated with the list below problems:

Anemia
Pneumonia
Vitamin B12 deficiency
Impaired calcium absorption
Impaired magnesium absorption
Increased price cracks, especially hip, wrist and spine
Osteopenia [thin brittle bones]
Rebound impact of extra-heavy gastric acid secretion
Heart attacks

From the recent study at hand:

‘ GERD symptoms as well as medicine usage was a lot more widespread in European-American females, for which the partnerships in between nutritional carb consumption, insulin resistance and GERD were most significant. High-fat/low-carbohydrate diet profited all females with respect to minimizing GERD signs and frequency of drug usage.’
