Why You Shouldn't Ignore Acid Reflux
As if you didn't already have about a thousand reasons to exercise, eat
right, maintain a
healthy body weight and generally lead a health-conscious lifestyle, there's
yet another
reason why it's important to live well. Gastroesophageal reflux, also known
as acid reflux,
may pose serious health hazards.
On a related note,
Digestive Science Reflux Elimination
System is a safe
and natural therapy to treat a common cause of acid reflux and reduce the
pain that it
causes. And similarly, just as acid reflux may signify that all's not well
with the state of
your body, Reflux Elimination System may be a wise investment for your health
and your
comfort.
Before we go further, we should define acid reflux as a chronic condition
in which
hydrochloric (stomach) acid escapes through the lower esophageal sphincter
(LES) and enters
the esophagus. Symptoms include:
- heartburn
- burping
- ongoing hiccups
- 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.
How Reflux Elimination System Can
Help
Digestive Science Reflux Elimination System is formulated with the latest
in digestive
research to treat a common cause of this debilitating condition. The cause is

medicines, like
antacids and proton pump inhibitors, Reflux Elimination System is designed to
treat the cause
of reflux rather than just swatting at symptoms. Treat the cause and you
reduce the problem.
Or just eliminate it completely.
Reflux Elimination System is a natural therapy, of acid control, enzyme
renewal and
ongoing support with the super-food chia. There are no drugs involved.
Rather, natural
ingredients to nurture your digestion and find the right balance of acid and
enzymes in your
stomach, for comfort, pain relief and ongoing digestive health.
Don't reach for antacids - if you've got acid reflux, reach for Digestive
Science Reflux
Elimination System, get your health back and feel good about life!
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.
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.
Why Reflux Elimination System May Be
Safer
Digestive Science Reflux Elimination System is a comprehensive, three-part
natural therapy
to reduce the pain of acid reflux and jump-start the enzyme renewal process.
As well, it's
formulated with a supplement with the super-food chia, for ongoing health and
comfort, to
keep reflux far, far away.
Of course, if you suffer from acid reflux, you know it hurts and you're
looking for pain
relief. There's plenty of that, with the Acid Control Formula - a dual action
formulation
that coats and protects the esophagus from the pain of excess acid where it
shouldn't be and
a system of gentle acid control. No drugs involved. Instead, licorice root,
slippery elm and
aloe vera.
Reflux Elimination System does not alter the constitution of your GI tract
with
suppression of stomach acid. Rather, it stimulates the body to produce
digestive enzymes, and
in the process, creates a healthy balance of acid and enzymes in the stomach,
for less reflux
and more comfort.
Unlike PPIs, Reflux Elimination System comes with no reported side
effects. Diarrhea?
That's why we've got fiber. Bone fractures? Doubtful. Reflux Elimination
System is a natural
therapy, for your body and tummy.
Drugs or natural. A temporary fix or lasting relief. PPIs or Reflux
Elimination System.
Your call.
Acid Reflux and Tips to Reduce Symptoms
Acid reflux is a disorder in which stomach acid escapes
through the Lower
Esophageal Sphincter (LES). That's a valve that separates the stomach from
the esophagus. The
problem is, stomach acid is supposed to stay in the stomach. When it enters
the esophagus,
acid reflux occurs, with symptoms including:
- pain and burning in the chest
- heartburn and nausea
- burping and hiccups
- hoarseness
- chronic sore throat
Another symptom of acid reflux is regurgitation - that foul taste in your
mouth when you
"mini-vomit" in your mouth after a meal.
Acid reflux is a common and persistent problem, particularly with the
popularity of fast-
food and the nutritional gaps in the average American diet.
Fortunately, you can treat acid reflux with
Digestive Science
Reflux Elimination
System. More on that shortly. First, let's learn more about acid
reflux and how you
can reduce your symptoms.
More About Acid Reflux
While it's common to experience sporadic symptoms of acid reflux, if
symptoms occur more
than twice a week, you have
acid reflux disease. Risk
factors include
obesity, pregnancy, smoking, eating large meals, and lying down after
meals.
In addition, acid reflux can occur from a lack of digestive enzymes. In
this scenario, the
stomach produces more acid to compensate. Then food digests slower, and
symptoms of acid
reflux can occur. The culprit? There are many, but age, poor diet, stress and
antibiotics can
all reduce the digestive enzymes required to balance the stomach acid
responsible for
reflux.
The problem is exasperated by the popularity of antacids, which make life
even more
difficult for your already minimal digestive enzymes. While they might bring
temporary
relief, antacids alter the pH of your stomach and are not suitable for long-
term use.
How You Can Reduce Acid
Reflux
Chew gum - Chewing gum may relieve heartburn and reflux.
The reason?
Saliva neutralizes stomach acid. Just avoid peppermint gum, which can
aggravate heartburn,
and skip gum if it makes you swallow air, which can cause belching and
bloating.
Slim down - Extra pounds around the midsection can make
heartburn worse
and trigger reflux symptoms. Shed just two pounds and you can ease both.
Eat smaller meals - Large meals stack on excess weight
and can cause the
digestive problems you want to avoid (that's you, reflux!). Eat smaller
meals, and eat them
more frequently, to reduce strain on your digestive system and for less
reflux and
heartburn.
Avoid trigger foods - Some foods are notorious for
causing gas and acid
reflux, including beans, soda and fatty foods like soda and cheese. Other
common reflux
trigger foods include citrus fruits, tomatoes, coffee and tea.
Ditch the cigarettes - Among several million reasons why
you shouldn't
smoke, this nasty habit loosens the LES valve, through which stomach acid
enters the
esophagus and you know what comes next.
Keep a journal -Digestion problems can be unique to each
patient. What
causes reflux in one patient may do nothing to another. You can reduce this
problem by
keeping a journal of your reflux symptoms, regarding trigger foods, meal
size, time of day
and other factors that cause your symptoms.

use, with the
Daily Digestion Support fiber and nutrient supplement to ensure ongoing
health in your
gastrointestinal tract and to keep reflux away.
In short, Digestive Science Reflux Elimination System treats the causes of
acid reflux and
brings relief from the pain and discomfort of this common problem. We think
it will make a
difference in your life.
Acid Reflux: Different Pain, Same Solution?
The pain may be different, and the process might take a different road,
but men and woman
with acid reflux both have at least one thing in common: reflux sucks.
According to a new Australian study,
gastroesophageal
reflux, also known
as acid reflux, may affect men and women with different symptoms and
severity. Women are more
likely to seek help for heart burn than men. Yet of the patients who seek
treatment for acid
reflux, men tend to have more physical symptoms of this troublesome
condition.
On a related note,
Digestive Science Reflux Elimination
System is a
three-step natural therapy to reduce acid reflux and the effects it has on
both men and
women. And it's formulated specifically to address a common cause of acid
reflux. The cause
is lack of digestive enzymes. And the pain can be severe.
About Acid Reflux
To clarify, acid reflux is a chronic condition in which stomach acid
escapes through the
lower esophageal sphincter (LES) that separates the stomach
from the
esophagus. Symptoms include heartburn, chronic sore throat, abdominal pain
and ongoing
hiccups.
While it's common to experience these symptoms occasionally, if they occur
more than twice
a week, you have
acid reflux disease. Risk factors
include:
- obesity
- eating large meals
- lying down after a meal
- smoking
- acidic foods
- excessive alcohol consumption
As researchers in the Australian study discovered, men and women may be
more vulnerable to
specific symptoms. And the consequences of acid reflux can be severe.
About the Study
The study consisted of nearly 3,000 adults living in the community and
over 2,000 men and
women who were having reflux surgery. The study was recently published in
Archives of
Surgery.
Both sets of women, in the community and the patients, reported heartburn
more than men,
with symptoms being more frequent and severe. The women were also more likely
to complain of
trouble swallowing solid food.
Yet, of the patients who went for reflux surgery, the men tended to have
more advanced
stages of reflux disease. The researchers noted the male patients were
generally seven years
younger than the women who went for surgery. And the men tended to have
greater problems with
the LES and related valves that separate the stomach and esophagus.
While it's possible that the men were born with weak valves, it's just as
likely,
according to the researchers, that the condition occurred over time, with
chronic acid
exposure - a problem compounded by the fact that men were less likely to seek
medical help
for their reflux.
What's particularly troublesome is that, left untreated, chronic acid
exposure can lead to
esophagitis, which changes the tube that connects the throat
to the stomach.
Continue down that road and you're at risk of esophageal cancer, which, the
researchers point
out, men are four time more likely to develop than women.
And All This Means...?
Men and women both suffer from acid reflux. Women are more likely to
report heart burn and
seek help for reflux. And when they do seek help, men are more likely to have
advanced
symptoms of acid reflux, and considerably more likely to let reflux take a
bite out of their
health and well-being.
Yet, while the study documents the patterns of acid reflux and when and
how people seek
treatment, it does not address the causes of reflux. And among those causes,
lack of
digestive enzymes, which can increase production of stomach acid to the point
that reflux
occurs, the symptoms arise, and you're in a world of grief.

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.
