Functional Medicine Takes on Heartburn
Many people suffer heartburn and reflux from excess stomach acid, and treatment options include acid-blocking drugs or probiotic bacteriotherapy products like Restor Flora or HU58. Long-term use of acid blockers can impair digestion and lead to deficiencies in calcium, vitamins B12, and other minerals, so a functional medicine approach emphasizes diet, lifestyle changes, and probiotics to support a healthy digestive tract.
