Acid reflux and GERD isn't about “too much stomach acid”. Your common solution of popping a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) may be doing more harm than good.

In this episode of Becca Babbles, I break down:

• What GERD and gastric reflux actually are
• How proton pump inhibitors work (and why they’re so commonly prescribed)
• The hidden impact PPIs can have on your gut microbiome, digestion, and nutrient absorption
• Long-term consequences of suppressing stomach acid
• Practical, root-cause-focused alternatives to support digestion naturally
• How to manage reflux flare-ups without relying solely on medication

If you’re dealing with chronic heartburn, bloating, reflux, or digestive discomfort or you’ve been on PPIs long-term and want to understand what’s really going on inside your body this episode is for you.

This is not about fear or shame. It’s about education, empowerment, and giving your gut what it actually needs to heal.
