I know you guys are probably sick of hearing me talk about heartburn and gut health since that was the topic of the blog post I posted just a couple days ago. But, then this little gem showed up in my news feed. For those people who are managing GERD or heartburn using PPI medications it’s important to understand the impact on our gut biome diversity and immune health. Hopefully, this study will motivate those managing this uncomfortable condition to investigate the root cause of their indigestion through Functional Medicine. Feel free to share any of my posts with friends or family who are suffering from digestive complaints.
