  • Can gastritis be treat without medications?

    If the gastritis is causing reflux there are natural remedies to help. I recommend speaking to a gastroenterologist to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. If it is simple reflux, organic apple cider vinegar can be helpful. READ MORE

  • Do you need anesthesia for a colonoscopy?

    No. You do not need anesthesia for a colonoscopy but it makes it much more comfortable. READ MORE

  • Can you fix tinnitus?

    It depends on what is causing tinnitus. Sometimes inflammation in the body can cause tinnitus. Babesiosis, which is a tick-borne disease causes tinnitus. As we age the structures and connective tissue thin out causing a ringing in the ears. If the tinnitus is due to inflammation, changing your diet may help. If it is due to a tick-borne disease, finding a lyme literate provider will help. READ MORE

  • What is the best heart-healthy diet?

    I recommend the Mediterranean diet which is an anti-inflammatory diet. I recommend eating only organic meats, wild caught fish and avoiding dairy of any kind. Substitute dairy with almond or cashew milk. And ditch the sugar. Try monk fruit instead. READ MORE

  • What allergy medications work for dust allergies?

    Dust allergies are actually allergies to dust mites. People allergic to dust (everyone sneezes when dust is blown in their face) but a true allergy causes a number of symptoms by triggering the mast cells. In dust, there are dust mites. It is the stool or poop from the dust mites that they are allergic to. It is usually sinus and respiratory issues that are affected. Generally medications like Benadryl, Zyrtec and Claritin are helpful. But with the respiratory allergy many times an inhaler is needed. Wearing a mask while dusting can often times help with the symptoms. READ MORE

  • What is the treatment for celiac disease?

    Gluten-Free Diet: Avoid foods with gluten-containing grains like wheat, barley, and rye. Learn to read food labels carefully to identify hidden gluten. Many processed foods, sauces, and seasonings may contain gluten as an additive or thickener, so be vigilant with ingredients. However, gluten is bad in this country, some people with celiac disease can eat small amounts of gluten from Italy. There is a flour called Manny's Choice Flour. Their website is mannyschoiceflour.com. Their slogan is "We Have The Good Gluten." Their gluten does not cause the issues our gluten causes because their flour is grown in nutrition rich soil. They do not use toxic pesticides like the USA does. They do not overprocess their flour. And their flour is not bleached. All these practices done in the USA make our flour a 5 pound bag of diseases that cause celiac, ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, diabetes, cancer, autoimmune disease, and the list goes on. Nutritional Support: People with celiac disease often have nutrient deficiencies, including iron, calcium, vitamin D, B12, zinc, magnesium, and folic acid. Supplements or dietary adjustments might be needed to correct these deficiencies. Include naturally gluten-free whole foods like fruits, vegetables, lean meats, poultry, fish, dairy, and gluten-free grains (such as rice, quinoa). Manage Cross-Contamination: In kitchens, it’s essential to prevent cross-contamination with gluten-containing foods. Use separate utensils, cutting boards, and toasters when preparing gluten-free foods. Medications for Symptom Relief (if needed): Some may need short-term medication to control symptoms like diarrhea or abdominal pain during the initial stages of healing. Always consult a healthcare provider before starting any medication. Regular Monitoring: Follow-up with a healthcare provider for periodic testing to ensure the diet is effective and to monitor for potential complications like osteoporosis or other autoimmune conditions. Support Groups and Education: Support from dietitians, nutritionists, or local celiac disease support groups can help with adapting to a gluten-free lifestyle and provide emotional and practical support.

  • Can general anesthesia be used for bronchoscopy?

    General anesthesia is not an option for bronchoscopy since general anesthesia requires a tube (endotracheal tube) to be advanced to the trachea and a machine is used to keep you breathing. Instead, a medication like propofol is used along with versed to bring you to a state of conscious sedation. The versed helps to cause amnesia so you do not remember the procedure. READ MORE

  • Is there any surgery for migraines?

    Migraine headaches are thought to be associated with vascular constriction and dilation and also from nerve impingement from tight muscles. Sinusitis can also trigger a migraine headache. If the migraines are triggered from chronic sinusitis, contact an ENT and request a consultation to see if you are a candidate for sinus surgery. Otherwise, there is no known migraine surgery that I am aware of. READ MORE

  • What can I take to get rid of heartburn?

    Aside from PPIs and H2 blockers, you can try organic apple cider vinegar with the mother. Be sure to shake up the bottle and start with 1 teaspoon in 4 ounces of water once a day.

This not only helps with heartburn, it also helps to alkaline the blood which help to prevent the disease process and helps with weight loss. READ MORE

  • What causes liver cysts?

    Liver cysts can be caused from a number of factors. Your best line of defense is to limit your alcohol intake and decrease any animal fat in your diet. Monitor the cyst with annual or biannual ultrasounds. Your gastroenterologist will be a great source of information regarding this. READ MORE
