Does the "LIVER" have a Connection to our "Acid Reflux"???

Well . . . the answer to that question is . . .

Directly and Indirectly . . .

You see . . . as we spoke at the end of last year about "ANTACIDS" and "PROTON PUMP INHIBATORS" . . . "damaging" our esophagus and stomach . . .

They can also . . .

Alter our "gut bacteria" . . . potentially leading to "increased" liver inflammation and worsening chronic liver diseases.

Which can lead to the "liver's" own "bile" . . . backing up into the stomach and esophagus . . . causing a mimicking effect to "acid reflux".

And with this . . . we can get a double whammy of discomfort and pain.

It's kind of a vicious cycle . . .

And both "fatty liver" . . . and . . . "acid reflux" . . . are linked to a general state of "inflammation" in the body.

Which . . . can "weaken" the LES . . . making "acid reflux" symptoms worse!

Okay . . . so, LISTEN UP MY FRIENDS . . .

Remember last December we spoke about the bad bacteria called "H. pylori" being the "real" cause of our "acid reflux"???

Well . . . this "same" bacterial infection called "H. pylori" . . . has been linked to "liver" issues also!!!

Particularly . . . "non-alcoholic fatty liver disease" (NAFLD) and . . . "metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) . . . which can contribute to "fibrosis" and "cirrhosis" . . . and even "liver cancer"!!!!

And therefore . . . eradicating "H. pylori" infections from the body . . . has been shown to improve "liver health"!!!

So, tomorrow . . . let's talk about some ways to help our "liver" for optimal health.
