I joined one of Live Naturally’s courses as I was struggling with severe reflux. Despite being on three different medications, the reflux symptoms were not kept under control.
Nighttime was the worst, with burning sensations keeping me unable to sleep. Some nights I was up most of the night, which had a negative impact on my health. Sleepless nights left me lethargic during the day. I could hardly cope with work and was too tired to exercise.
My symptoms started to have a very negative effect on my overall health, so I was on the waiting list for an operation to "turn the stomach around," with some concerning side effects associated with that surgery.
A relative who had improved her reflux symptoms by making positive changes to her diet recommended Live Naturally’s courses, so I thought I would give it a try.
In the sessions, I learnt about the importance of strong stomach acid and that most people with reflux actually have too little acid, not too much, which results in the body struggling to digest food and making the symptoms worse.
I learnt about the importance of fresh food and why protein-rich food that is stored contains amines, which affect the digestive system negatively. I also learnt a reflexology program to do at home.
Over the next ten weeks, I learnt more and more about health and food and I put everything I had learnt into practice. My symptoms got better and better! I was able to come off the medication and I no longer need an operation. The problem was resolved.
Feeling better, I was able to sleep again, and that gave me the energy to start training.
Now, I play rugby, cycle, run, sleep through the night, and enjoy fresh and natural food with no symptoms.
I highly recommend Live Naturally's courses to everyone who struggles with digestive issues!
