I Feel Your Pain

BLUE CHEESE BURGERS, SPAGHETTI AND MEATBALLS, Spanish chicken and rice these are just a few of my favorite dishes that I could not enjoy without paying a high price until I developed the Acid Reflux Solution. Growing up in South Florida, Southern California, and the Detroit area gave me a broad appreciation of American culinary culture as it came into its own in the 80s and 90s. Growing up Cuban in those places offered me some of the tastiest cooking on earth wherever I was.

My mothers Cuban cooking, although delicious, could have caused acid reflux in a giraffe. And it certainly was not geared to weight control. All that braised pork cooked in lard with mojo de ajoan intense garlic and lemon sauceand black beans and rice in portions that made supersize look wimpy guaranteed that as I developed physically, so did my girth, and by the time I was a practicing physician, my weight could be classified as obese (even though I didnt look that heavy). At the same time, until this past year, Ive suffered from GERD, or gastroesophageal reflux disease, my entire adult life. Think there might have been a connection? Somehow, it never occurred to me. Why should it? For me, heartburn was simply what happened whenever you ate. I didnt need an alarm clock to wake up. All the garlic, onions, and lemon did it for meusually about an hour after I went to bed following a substantial late supper or midnight snack, with the pain of heartburn unmistakable as the searing acid escaped my stomach and shot up my throat.

Heartburn, the chief complaint of GERD, is one of the most prevalent medical problems in America, with roughly a sixth of the population reporting symptoms at least once a week. Expenditures for powerful antacids like proton pump inhibitors total seven billion dollars a year, making Nexium the second most popular drug in the country. Yet too little attention is given to what is ultimately the most effective and natural long-term solution to acid reflux: a sensible combination of healthy eating and lifestyle modifications that include regular physical activity.

Does the prescription of diet and exercise sound familiar? It should, because obesity and GERD are inextricably linked, with a prevalence two to three times that of people with normal weight status. If I sound passionate about this problem its because I have a double interest: As an expert in gastroenterology, Ive treated tens of thousands of patients suffering from acid reflux and performed thousands of endoscopies to confirm my diagnosis or perform corrective procedures. Why I was drawn to this area of medicine Im not entirely sure, but even as an impressionable young medical student, the intimate association with the inside of the body fascinated me. The first time I watched an endoscopy, a high-tech fiber-optic internal examination of the esophagus and stomach, I was mesmerized. I remember thinking: How extraordinary! It feels like you are actually walking through the inside of the body. Internal medicine had me hooked from then on.

For a long time, I did a lot of thinking about my patients and not much about myself. I didnt worry about my weight, or my GERD; both were simply facts of life. I believed that in the future I could deal with both when it became impossible to ignore them any longer. But the clock kept ticking as I became accustomed to living with obesity and GERD. I treated my own illness the same way I treated my patientswith over-the-counter antacids and prescription medications. In the back of my mind, I remembered the fact sheets that came with the drugs, suggesting use for no longer than four to six weeks, but what can you do when your heartburn persists?
