Works.
Unless you have GERD or acid reflux.
Technically, GERD is a digestive disorder, and I wouldn’t go into its definition here, as you may already know what it is, especially if you’ve been dealing with it for a long period of time and have already searched the internet. -Detailed information on acid reflux. The point of this article is to emphasize that you can do a liver or gallstone flush, in the context of two things:
You do NOT have GERD (acid reflux), or…
You are CURED of your GERD (acid reflux) and you are sure your stomach can handle it.
Common “ingredients” involved with a gallstone or liver flush are olive oil, lemon or grapefruit, and epsom salt. For a normal person, these may be tolerable. But if you suffer from acid reflux, this adds to the problem, for the following reasons:
1. Olive oil is fat. Drinking half a cup (which is usually the recommendation for a successful flush) would put pressure on the liver and could cause it to secrete excess bile to digest the oil. However, there is a higher chance that you will also develop bile reflux. Not a good thing in my experience as revealed by my endoscopy test.
2. Lemon or grapefruit they are supposed to be mixed with the olive oil before you take it. Although lemon and grapes are alkaline-rich foods, for some people they tend to increase the acidity of the stomach. Why this happens, I have yet to find out. One type of fruit may not have the same compatibility with different individuals. Personally, I stick to apples, bananas, and watermelon, as recommended by my nutritionist.
3. Epsom salt, if taken without taking the necessary precautions, can do more harm than good. This can also cause more heartburn problems if care is not taken. The funny thing about what you just read is that both my traditional doctor and my naturopathic doctor agreed on this. Finally, a point where both can meet! On a very serious note, this is something to consider if you want to naturally cure your GERD or acid reflux.
