Hi Linda,

Bile reflux or biliary gastritis is a fairly rare and challenging diagnosis that is most often seen as a complication of gastric or biliary surgery where normal peristalsis (or movement of food through the GI tract) is disrupted. It may also be seen as a general result of compromised gall bladder function or gall bladder removal.

Unfortunately treatment can be even more challenging than diagnosis - as you have already seen. Herbs that promote peristalsis such as ginger and fennel (which are found in our protocol in the Essential Digestion formula) can be helpful. Try emptying the contents of an Essential Digestion capsule in your mouth, swish it around and swallow without water or other liquid and just let it coat your esophagus. Many people have reported almost immediate relief from reflux symptoms this way. Limiting fatty meals helps for some patients as does elevating the head of your bed 4-6 inches... and don't lie down soon after eating.

Although bile reflux is not generally considered to be an excess acid problem (acid blocking drugs do not typically provide relief and may cause other problems - especially with long term use), some foods increase the production of stomach acid and may relax the lower esophageal sphincter - thus compounding symptoms. Among the foods with this effect are caffeinated and carbonated drinks, chocolate, citrus foods and juices, vinegar-based dressings, onions, tomato-based foods, spicy foods and mint. Alcohol is not helpful either as it relaxes the lower esophageal sphincter.

As Mel so often says, every person is different and some even find relief from raising stomach acid levels with betaine HCL (which by the way is also found in our protocol in the Essential Digestion as well as MagnifiCal).

I recommend you talk with Jamie if you have not already as she has related experience and has done a lot of research.

Keep us posted on your progress Linda and let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.

Blessings,

John
