As many of our clients know, inflammation serves as one of the major causes of various issues in our bodies. However, most recently, the link between GERD and Inflammation has been making major headlines. Researchers at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center and Dallas VA Medical Center have proven that it\u2019s actually an inflammatory response prompted by the secretion of proteins called cytokines. According to this\u00a0Fox News Report<\/a>, \u201crefluxed stomach acid stimulates the esophagus to produce cytokines, which begins the process of inflammation<\/strong>.\u201d\u00a0 While these new studies open up the potential of using Protein Pump Inhibitors and other medications to target inflammatory cells, our Medical experts at Nava have a different approach.<\/p>\n

Our Director of Medical Operations, Lynn Dudley, PA emphasizes the importance of really utilizing this new research to\u00a0get to the root of the issue and take a more pro-active approach.<\/strong>\u00a0While discussing the findings, Lynn noted that \u201cundiagnosed food sensitivities are often the root of inflammation involved with GERD. These food sensitivities arise from an unhealthy environment often caused by an imbalance of good and bad gut flora, as well as, overgrowth of other pathogens such as Candida.\u201d\u00a0 Through our testing at Nava, we can help diagnose and create a plan of action to address the issue without having to be reactive and rely on PPI\u2019s, which may control the immediate symptom of pain, but do nothing to address the underlying problem.\u00a0 In fact,\u00a0Proton Pump Inhibitors\u00a0<\/strong>have a whole host of side effects, such as\u00a0bone loss, increased fracture risk, and even risk of dementia<\/strong>, as cited in this\u00a0New York Times article<\/a>.<\/p>\n

So what\u2019s the best way to address this?\u00a0 According to Dudley,\u201cthe actual solution to GERD involves decreasing the source of inflammation, which means diagnosing and removing the food sensitivities. This is when the healing of the GI tract.\u201d Our team of Nava experts have developed a Comprehensive GI Repair program to facilitate the healing process and restore your health from the inside out!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
