The Truth About Acid Reflux Drugs

The Truth About Acid Reflux Drugs

What do proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and Digestive Science Reflux Elimination System have in common? Well, they're both designed to reduce the pain of acid reflux. But the former is a prescription and over-the-counter drug to reduce the discomfort of reflux. The latter is a natural solution to treat the cause of this common problem.

Building on that, PPIs are linked to a concerning list of side effects and are not safe for long-term use. Reflux Elimination System, being natural, employs gentle, soothing ingredients that are clinically proven to treat the real reason you're having the heartburn, the regurgitation, the sore throat and nausea.

The reason is lack of digestive enzymes - a common, yet over-looked cause of acid reflux.

-What is Acid Reflux?

Gastroesophageal reflux disease, or acid reflux, is a condition in which hydrochloric (stomach) acid escapes through the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) that separates the stomach from the esophagus. Symptoms include:

heartburn

ongoing hiccups

regurgitation

chronic sore throat

nausea

abdominal pain

While most people experience these symptoms sporadically, if they occur more than twice a week you have acid reflux disease. Risk factors include pregnancy, being overweight, smoking, eating large meals or lying down after a meal.

Notably, these factors can influence the gastrointestinal system and upset the balance of stomach acid and enzymes required for the ongoing health of your digestive system. And with that comes the pain and discomfort of acid reflux.

To treat this problem, many Americans reach for acid reflux medicines, particularly proton pump inhibitors. But if new studies bear weight, that may not be healthy.

About Proton Pump Inhibitors

PPIs are reflux treatments that inhibit production of stomach acid. Common examples are Aciphex and Nexium, Prilisec and Protonix.

PPIs are a fast, albeit temporary relief from reflux symptoms, especially heartburn.

But a recent Japanese study suggests that PPIs increase risk of diarrhea caused by the bug Clostridium difficile, or C. Diff. The reason being that PPIs reduce the stomach acid that would otherwise kill the bug, which then travels down through the GI tract and releases toxins that cause diarrhea.

The researchers based these findings on a 2011 study, of approximately 500 hospitalized patients, of whom more than half had taken PPIs. Their finding? The patients that took PPIs were three times as likely to experience diarrhea.

And if you use PPIs on a regular basis, there's worse news than simply being hunched over a toilet. Evidence suggests that long-term use of PPIs may increase risk of bone fractures by 30%. This, upon studies conducted by researchers in South Korea, who found that prolonged use of PPIs may reduce the body's ability to absorb calcium.

Combine these findings with the function of PPIs, being to inhibit production of stomach acid, which can alter the constitution of the GI tract if used indefinitely, and America's $13.6 billion annual habit of proton pump inhibitors may not be a healthy way to treat acid reflux.

Especially when there's a natural, effective, and frankly, healthier way to treat the real reason you may be bothered by acid reflux.

FAQs About Reflux Elimination System

FAQs About Reflux Elimination System

What is Acid Reflux?

Acid reflux is a disorder in which stomach acid escapes through the Lower Esophageal Sphincter (LES) and enters the esophagus. This can cause a burning sensation, from heart burn, and cause a variety of symptoms, including nausea, burping and hiccups, abdominal pain and chronic sore throat.

Acid reflux is also responsible for the regurgitative effect, or "mini-vomit" that can produce a foul taste in your mouth.

While it's not uncommon to experience sporadic symptoms of acid reflux, if symptoms occur more than twice a week, you have acid reflux disease.

What Causes Acid Reflux?

Acid reflux can occur for a variety of reasons, including obesity, pregnancy, smoking, eating large meals or lying down after a meal. All of which can loosen the LES and cause stomach acid to enter the esophagus.

In addition, acid reflux can be triggered by a lack of digestive enzymes, during which the stomach compensates by producing more acid. This, in turn, can trigger reflux symptoms.

Is Acid Reflux Dangerous?

If your symptoms are ongoing, or include bloody or black stools, vomiting blood or pain while swallowing, your acid reflux can cause dangerous medical conditions, including esophageal cancer, narrowing of the esophagus, asthma and dental problems.

In extreme cases, acid reflux can require a fundoplication – a surgical procedure in which surgeons create an artificial valve with the top of your stomach.

How Can I Treat Acid Reflux?

Antacids are a common treatment for acid reflux. Unfortunately, antacids can cause diarrhea and constipation and can exasperate problems with the GI tract. Moreover, antacids alter the stomach's pH levels and make it very difficult for your digestive enzymes to properly function.

What is Reflux Elimination System?

Digestive Science Reflux Elimination System is a three-step natural solution to bring relief from the pain of acid reflux. Consisting of an acid control formulation, an enzyme renewal system and a daily digestion support supplement with the super-food "chia", it's a proven way to reduce the causes of acid reflux, and unlike many acid reflux medicines, it's safe for long-term use.

How Does it Work?

Step one consists of the Acid Control Formula – a dual action formulation that protects the esophagus from the stomach acid that's not supposed to be in the esophagus(!). In addition, the Acid Control Formula reduces excess stomach acid and thereby treats this common cause of acid reflux.

Step two is the Digestive Enzyme Renewal supplement. This stimulates production of digestive enzymes and breaks the cycle of acid reflux before it develops.

And step three is the Daily Digestion Support supplement. Strategically formulated with the super-food "chia", this ensures ongoing health of your digestive system and treats related problems you may be facing, including gas, diarrhea, constipation and poor nutrient absorption.

Is Reflux Elimination System Safe?

We wouldn't offer Reflux Elimination System if it wasn't safe for the vast majority of our customers.

Of course, speak with your doctor if you're concerned about using it while taking existing medications. And for that matter, you should not use Reflux Elimination System if you're pregnant, nursing or trying to get pregnant. If you've got allergies, review the ingredient list with your doctor.

Having said that, Reflux Elimination System is a natural and effective treatment for acid reflux. As with all Digestive Science products, it's manufactured in the United States according to cGMP standards and it complies with comprehensive quality controls to meet international standards.

How Long Does it Take To Work?

Most customers enjoy relief from their reflux symptoms in less than 30 days. Remember though that a variety of factors may have triggered your reflux, including stress, poor diet and antibiotics. These aren't fixed over-night.

For best results, use Reflux Elimination System for at least 90 days. And remember that the digestive system is a delicate balance of hydrochloric acid, digestive enzymes and the factors that caused your reflux in the first place – keep using Reflux Elimination System for ongoing digestive health.

Is It Guaranteed?

Of course! As with all Digestive Science products, Reflux Elimination System is backed by a generous 90 day money-back guarantee. Should you find that it doesn't meet your needs, just return it within 90 days of purchase for a full refund, minus shipping and handling.

chronic sore throat

abdominal pain

regurgitation

More About Acid Reflux

While it's not uncommon to experience these symptoms sporadically, if they occur twice a week or more you have acid reflux disease. Risk factors include being overweight, pregnancy, eating large meals or lying down after a meal.

Notably, acid reflux can also be caused by lack of digestive enzymes. And for that, Digestive Science Reflux Elimination System is ideal.

Let's look closer at acid reflux and why it's important to pay attention to this common yet potentially dangerous problem, and how Reflux Elimination System may be the solution you're looking for.

Among other things, acid reflux may lead to:

Esophagitis - Prolonged reflux can irritate the tube that connects the throat to the stomach, a condition called esophagitis, which can lead to further erosion and scarring.

Esophageal Stricture - Esophagitis can also cause scar tissue to narrow the esophagus in a process called a stricture. When this happens, large pieces of food can get stuck and may require surgery for removal. Strictures can also cause weight loss and make it difficult to swallow.

Throat/Voice Problems - One of the lesser known symptoms of reflux, patients with acid reflux can develop hoarseness, voice problems, chronic sore throat and the sensation of a lump in the throat.

Breathing Problems - Reflux can make asthma or pneumonia worse if stomach acid is inhaled after it's regurgitated and can cause shortness of breath.

Tooth Decay - Stomach acid is supposed to stay in the stomach. If it's frequently regurgitated, it can erode the enamel of your chompers. In a study conducted by the University of Alabama, 40% of reflux patients had advanced tooth decay.

That's not an exhaustive list either. Among other things, acid reflux can cause ulcers, esophageal cancer and lower quality of life.

Break The Painful Cycle with Reflux Elimination System

Break The Painful Cycle with Reflux Elimination System

Acid reflux is a painful reminder that something's not right in the state of your stomach. Unfortunately it's a common problem that many people face, and the symptoms are unpleasant to say the least.

We think you're probably familiar with the symptoms, or at least know what they are. Acid reflux includes:

heartburn and pain in the chest

ongoing hiccups

burping

abdominal pain

bloating

wheezing and dry cough

chronic sore throat

Another symptom of acid reflux is that foul taste you get in your mouth when you regurgitate after a meal. Nice huh?

Don't worry, there's hope for those of us with acid reflux. Digestive Science Reflux Elimination System can help – keep reading!

While there are several factors that can increase risk of acid reflux, obesity, pregnancy, eating large meals and diets that are high in spicy foods can make one more susceptible to reflux symptoms.

And while there are two primary causes of acid reflux, in many cases it's the latter reason that gets neglected, or worse, treated with antacids and proton pump inhibitors that alter the stomach's natural production of hydrochloric acid and produce a hostile environment for the digestive enzymes required for digestive health.

The causes of acid reflux? The first is when hydrochloric acid escapes through the lower esophageal sphincter – a valve that separates the stomach from the esophagus, located just above. When this happens, patients may experience weight loss, black stool or bloody vomit. If you have these symptoms, see a doctor immediately!

Yet it's the second cause of acid reflux that too often gets ignored, and one for which there's an effective solution. That cause is too few digestive enzymes. And the solution is Digestive Science Reflux Elimination System.

Yup, it's true. Factors like age, stress, diet, antibiotics, poor health, even eating too fast can all throw off the digestive system's natural production of enzymes. This kicks off a vicious cycle, in which the stomach compensates by producing more hydrochloric acid. Food digests slower and you experience the symptoms of acid reflux.

Unfortunately, many patients with acid reflux simply reach for antacids, which not only make symptoms of reflux worse, they make it very difficult for the remaining digestive enzymes to work properly. And proton pump inhibitors? They bring temporary relief, but alter production of hydrochloric acid in the process.

Neither antacids nor proton pump inhibitors are safe for long term use. Nor do they address the issue of lack of enzymes which, as we've seen, is often the cause of acid reflux.

Not to worry, there's a solution. Digestive Science Reflux Elimination System is a natural and effective way to treat the cause of acid reflux and bring relief to the pain and the symptoms. And unlike other common treatments for reflux, it's gentle on the digestive system and safe for ongoing use.

Here's how it works. Step one is our Acid Control Formula. This is a protective supplement that coats the esophagus and protects it from the hydrochloric acid that causes reflux symptoms. At the same time, the Acid Control Formula reduces production of excess acid. All done with natural ingredients, by the way, a key difference from antacids and proton pump inhibitors.

In step two we get to the heart of the issue, and you know what that is – lack of digestive enzymes! Our Digestive Enzyme Renewal supplement is formulated with a series of digestive enzymes to break that painful cycle. We're aiming for balance here, between enzymes and hydrochloric acid. And with the Digestive Enzyme Renewal supplement, you're on your way.

Finally, step three is the Daily Digestion Support supplement, a once-a-day fiber and nutrient formula with a series of vital nutrients, minerals, Omega-3 fatty acids and the superfood "Chia". Better digestion, better health, you're feeling good and the reflux is gone!

Remember also that Reflux Elimination System is a natural formulation that's designed to soothe the digestive system and nourish the body. Safe and effective, it's perfectly suitable for long-term use. In fact, given the pressures of life and the diets we eat, it's advisable to keep using Reflux Elimination System for healthy digestion and to remain symptom free.

Don't spend another day with the pain of acid reflux. Put those antacids down. Don't fight your body. Nurture it, with Digestive Science Reflux Elimination System.
