H. pylori is one of the most overlooked contributors to stomach and reflux symptoms, yet roughly 43% of people worldwide carry this bacteria. Learn how H. pylori can affect stomach acid, contribute to gastritis and upper-belly burning, why strain status may matter, and what testing, food, and supplements can realistically do. If you have been working on your reflux for months without answers, this guide can help you understand whether H. pylori deserves a closer look.

Cut out coffee, tomatoes, and wine? Tried medications, supplements, and every reflux tip you can find, but still struggling with symptoms? Before you decide nothing works, there may be a few important pieces your reflux plan is missing. Dietitian and reflux specialist Molly Pelletier, MS, RD, shares 10 things to look at before giving up, from confirming what is actually driving your symptoms to supporting your nervous system, motility, consistency, and recovery.

If you’ve tried eliminating foods, taking medication, and following every reflux rule you can find, yet still feel stuck, your GERD may need a different approach. In this ultimate guide, Molly Pelletier, MS, RD, breaks down the root contributors behind chronic reflux and shares the practical protocol she used to heal, from supporting the LES and nervous system to improving mealtime habits and strategically adding soothing support.

You're avoiding trigger foods, sleeping with your head elevated, and doing everything you've been told, but your reflux still isn't improving. Discover the 7 common acid reflux mistakes that can keep GERD and LPR symptoms lingering, along with the mechanism-based strategies a registered dietitian recommends to help you move forward with confidence.

Silent reflux (LPR) can cause constant throat clearing, a lump-in-the-throat sensation, hoarseness, or a chronic cough, even when you never experience heartburn. This guide explains why pepsin, not just stomach acid, often drives these persistent throat symptoms and why a normal endoscopy doesn't always rule out reflux. You'll also learn evidence based strategies including a low acid healing phase, psyllium fiber, diaphragmatic breathing to strengthen the anti reflux barrier, and throat soothing support to help calm irritation and address the root contributors to silent reflux.

If you've been wondering whether probiotic sodas are actually good for your gut, you're not alone. This guide reviews five popular options, explains what really matters beyond the marketing claims, and explores how probiotics, prebiotic fibers, and carbonation can affect gut health and acid reflux. Learn what to look for on the label so you can make a more informed choice.

Have you noticed your reflux getting worse the week before your period or appearing for the first time during perimenopause or menopause? You're not imagining it. Hormonal changes can influence the strength of your lower esophageal sphincter, slow stomach emptying, and increase nervous system sensitivity, creating the perfect conditions for reflux symptoms to flare.

Living with reflux can make every meal feel uncertain, but healing does not have to mean living on an ever shrinking list of "safe" foods. True confidence comes from understanding what is happening in your body, supporting your digestive system with the right tools, and gradually rebuilding trust with food instead of fear.

Your endoscopy was normal, but your reflux symptoms are still here. This blog explores why reflux hypersensitivity and silent reflux (LPR) often go undetected on standard testing, why acid blockers don't always solve the problem, and how a nervous system and tissue healing approach can help you move beyond endless food restriction and start addressing the real root cause.

If you are dealing with silent reflux (LPR), buying random supplements to treat separate symptoms like throat clearing or hoarseness rarely moves the needle. To truly heal, you must stop guessing and start matching your routine to what your tissues actually need, especially when combating pepsin, the stubborn enzyme that drives chronic laryngeal irritation. In this post, we break down how to transition from a chaotic pile of bottles to a strategic supplement architecture built around mucosal repair, tissue soothing, and motility.

FLORA’s top supplement recommendations for GERD, Reflux, LPR (plus discounts inside!)

Discover the 10 foods I recommend most often for acid reflux, GERD, and LPR, along with the science behind why they support healing. From fiber rich fruits and oats to motility supporting ginger and nutrient dense greens, these foods help address key reflux mechanisms rather than simply avoiding triggers.

Weaning off a proton pump inhibitor isn't about white-knuckling through symptoms. It's about tapering slowly enough that your acid-producing capacity downshifts gradually, while actively supporting the mechanisms that keep acid where it belongs. In this post, Molly walks you through exactly how to do that, the research behind acid rebound, the foundation to build before you lower a single milligram, and the stepwise tapering framework she uses with her clients.

Just diagnosed with GERD, acid reflux, or LPR and feeling overwhelmed? A registered dietitian who healed her own reflux shares the exact first steps to take after a diagnosis, from understanding your reflux type and getting the right testing to supporting your nervous system, using medications strategically, and identifying root causes. Learn how to create a personalized plan that goes beyond symptom management and supports lasting healing

If your acid reflux reliably flares before your period, worsened when you started birth control, or seemed to appear out of nowhere in your 40s — there's a physiological reason no one has explained to you. Your Lower Esophageal Sphincter (LES), the valve that keeps stomach acid where it belongs, is directly influenced by estrogen and progesterone. When your hormones shift, so does your barrier. This isn't in your head. It's physiology — and once you understand it, you can build a strategy around it.

Your reflux symptoms are not just about food. The vagus nerve directly regulates your LES, digestion, and stomach motility — which means chronic stress can worsen reflux even on a perfect diet. In this article, Molly Pelletier breaks down the science behind the nervous system-GERD connection and shares four FLORA strategies to help restore vagal tone, strengthen LES support, and calm reflux at the root.

If you have GERD or LPR, fiber works differently for you — and the research proves it. Discover how soluble fiber buffers pepsin, supports motility, and targets the real root causes of reflux.

Most digestive supplements are built for general comfort. Sequoia Soothe was formulated differently — here's the science behind every ingredient and exactly what it does in your body.

Most reflux advice doesn't work for LPR. Here's the supplement protocol that targets pepsin, repairs mucosal tissue, and actually addresses silent reflux at the root.
