A listener asked, and Dr. Martin answered on episode 1523:
Dr. Martin, The Doctor Is In, Episode 1523Yeah, well, a lot of medications cause side effects and gastric acid reflux. Look, start with the basics. I'm a big guy on digestive enzymes, okay? Most people have some trouble with their digestion. Most, not all, okay? I love digestive enzymes because they're so good for you. They're pancreatic enzymes, and lipase and amylase and protease, and all the broad spectrum of those strains of enzymes are really good. I would do that. I would have her on aloe vera juice. I like that, just to help with the burning and cool the burning. Get her off sugars. Even though the medication might have caused it, sugar is a huge, huge cause of acid reflux. And ask thousands of people who went on the reset, the 30 days without any sugars, what happened to their stomach, and the acid stays in. Look, you want acid. You actually need acid. Problem is, is when it comes up into the esophagus, right? And it's usually because you're not making enough acid, or it's a side effect of a medication. But that's what I would do.
