Gerd is definitely curable. Due to an incorrect lifestyle, accumulation of toxins would have become the breeding ground for a lot of bacteria and viruses in the body. This weakens your gut and weakens the liver which becomes a storeroom for the pile of toxins. Anything that does not belong to category of fruits veggies and greens goes to the list of toxins - bad smells , chemicals medicines anything. Overtime bile becomes less potent and this taxes thestomach and strength of HCL in the stomach becomes less. As that becomes less , this can increase the acidity of the stomach due to other bad acids and bacteria that’s thriving. So the acid reflux happens. It’s not the HCL of the body which actually is protecting you. It’s other things that’s not supposed to be there comes out burning your oesophageal lining. 

-Do the following for 10 days :-

1) quit dairy eggs meat fish

2) quit sugar processed foods and ready to eat foods. Refined oils and anything that is polished. You should also avoid all kinds of fried food and oil in your cooked food. 

3) drink 500ml of pure cucumber juice on empty stomach daily morning 

4) next hunger 500 ml of ashgourd juice 

5) tender coconut for whole day 

5) repeat this 4,5 for 3 days and stay on only juices. 

If u feel like vomiting, it’s fine. Don’t worry. That’s expected. Continue juicing.

Continue to keep a wet cloth . Rinse every 1 hr and continue to drink. Expose your bare torso to the morning sun for 1 hr .You will see things falling in place already by then.

-Follow a raw juicy fruits and juicy veg diet for a month after that with juicing.

-After a month, do the same juices till 12 and then next hunger fruits that are juicy like watermelon. Continue only such fruits and juices till dinner.

Keep your stomach as less busy as possible without any solids but flooding with liquids as this helps your bad acids clear up. Add cooked for night - gluten free oil free spice free. Continue wet cloth daily for 30mins, sun bath for 30 mins. Avoid the following for life - dairy eggs meat fish sugar wheat oils packaged foods etc. the more you are on raw, the better.

हेलो,

कारण - आँत में प्रदाह (inflammation) होने के कारण अधिक अम्ल (acid) उत्पन्न होता है।

पर्याप्त नींद नहीं हो रहा है। रात 10 से 4 की नींद ज़रूर लें क्योंकि तभी हमारा लिवर सुचारू रूप से अपना काम कर सकता है।

समाधान - कच्चे सब्ज़ी का जूस लें ख़ाली पेट लें। 1घंटे बाद फल नाश्ते में लें। 3घंटे बाद एक बार कच्चे सब्ज़ी का जूस लें। एक घंटे बाद सलाद बिना नमक के लें। सलाद के 5 घंटे बाद एक कच्चे सब्ज़ी का जूस लें। इस जूस के एक घंटे बाद

पेट पर खीरे का पेस्ट रखें। 20मिनट तक रख साफ़ कर लें। ताड़ासन, कटिचक्रआसन, तिर्यकताड़ासन, पवनमुक्तासन करें।

खाना खाने से एक घंटे पहले नाभि के ऊपर गीला सूती कपड़ा लपेट कर रखें और खाना के 2 घंटे बाद भी ऐसा करना है।

कच्चे सब्ज़ी का जूस आपका मुख्य भोजन है।  सुबह ख़ाली पेट इनमे से कोई भी हरा जूस लें।पेठे (ashguard ) का जूस लें और  नारियल पानी भी ले सकते हैं। बेल का पत्ता 8 से 10 पीस कर 100ml पानी में मिला कर छान कर पीएँ। खीरा 1/2 भाग + धनिया पत्ती (10 ग्राम) पीस लें, 100 ml पानी में मिला कर पीएँ। दुब घास 25 ग्राम पीस कर छान कर 100 ml पानी में मिला कर पीएँ।

Hi there, 

GERD also known as gastroesophageal reflux disease is a chronic disease of the digestive tract that occurs when the stomach acid or bile flows up into the esophagus or the food pipe, causing irritation to the lining. 

The best way to treat GERD is to zero in on the underlying cause of your acid reflux and correct it. Which means to cut down or avoid all those triggering factors responsible for GERD in your body.

Modifications in your diet and lifestyle habits can help improve one's condition. 

• Always go for bland and binding diet such as Banana, rice and toast (brown bread).These foods are bland and binding which will prevent further reflux and vomiting. Bananas also contain potassium and other minerals which can help replace nutrients lost from vomiting. They are easy for digestion and absorption as well.

• Follow regular eating time. Maintaining a long gap between each meal can stimulate excess gastric acid secretion triggering acidity that can lead to reflux .

• Eat meals in smaller quantity and properly chewed. This will help relieve burden on your guts and improves digestion and absorption at a better pace. Eat only when you're hungry so as to avoid unnecessary triggers.

• Chewing a slice of ginger or drinking a ginger juice or tea for several times a day can help neutralise the acidity, ease nausea and vomiting. 

 • Vomiting can be dehydrating. Make sure you take in plenty of water or other clear liquids. Take small sips. Try Ice chips if to substitute normal water drinking. Caffeine-free tea such as peppermint, ginger and lemon can be equally helpful as well.

• Do not eat anything right after vomiting but drink a clear liquid such as water, soup or herbal tea. 

• Avoid midnight snacks or eating before sleep 

• Bend your knees while bending forward so as to avoid pressure in your stomach. 

• Ay food, dairy products, oily foods, fibres, caffeine, soda, alcohol, artificial preservatives added food and any processed foods should be avoided completely.

 • Go for an early morning walk or jog daily. Utilise 45 minutes to an hour daily for any physical activity which will help boost your body's metabolic activity and mind.
