Chronic reflux is one of the most common digestive complaints we see at The JCN Clinic, yet many people are stuck managing symptoms rather than understanding why it’s happening in the first place.
In this episode of The JCN Clinic Podcast, Clinical Nutritionists Jessica Cox and Christine Smith unpack chronic reflux, including the terms you may have heard such as GERD or GORD, and why reflux isn’t always simply a case of “too much stomach acid”.
We discuss the conventional medical approach to reflux and why medications like antacids and acid suppressants are often prescribed, but may not always address the underlying cause.
From a functional and clinical nutrition perspective, we also explore some of the most common drivers of reflux we see in practice, including gut dysbiosis, SIBO, food intolerances, and issues with stomach acid production.
Jessica and Christine also walk through the types of testing and treatment approaches that can help uncover what’s really going on, alongside real-life case examples from clinic that illustrate how identifying the root cause can lead to long-term improvements.
If you’ve been dealing with ongoing reflux, or supporting someone who is, this episode will give you a deeper understanding of what might be happening beneath the surface and the steps that can help move beyond simply managing symptoms.
