What can help with acid reflux?

One type of bacteria we have is lactic acid bacteria. This type of bacteria acidifies the colon. We also have lactic acid yeast, which acidifies the colon. These microbes help with digestion. The more complete digestion you have in the lower part of the digestive system, the better it’s going to be for the upper part, like the stomach. 

If you don’t have enough microbiome in your large intestine, that can lead to an overgrowth of bacteria in your small intestine. This is called SIBO. This can also back up the whole system causing regurgitation of fluids. 

Natural remedies for acid reflux or heartburn:

• Apple cider vinegar 

• Betaine hydrochloride 

• Natural probiotics (whole-milk kefir, sauerkraut, and kimchi)
