🌿Natural Acid Reflux Support in Aurora: What Actually Works Without Medication

If you’re tired of relying on antacids or proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) for heartburn relief — you’re not alone. At Aurora Functional Healthcare Inc., we take a natural, root-cause approach to acid reflux, helping you heal your digestion and eliminate symptoms for good.


Let’s break down what causes reflux and how we help you manage it naturally, safely, and holistically. 


🔎What is Acid Reflux?

Acid reflux happens when stomach acid flows back up into the esophagus, causing: 


● Burning in the chest (heartburn) 

● Sour taste in the mouth 

● Bloating and belching 

● Tightness in the throat 



But did you know acid reflux isn’t always caused by too much stomach acid? 


In fact, low stomach acid (hypochlorhydria) is often the hidden cause — especially in women over 40, people with thyroid issues, and chronic PPI users. 


💊Why Medication Isn’t a Long-Term Fix 

Medications like omeprazole or Nexium reduce stomach acid — but that can: 


● Prevent nutrient absorption (like magnesium, B12, iron) 

● Disrupt gut flora 

● Lead to bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) 

● Worsen acid reflux over time 


That’s why our clients in Aurora, Naperville, and Chicagoland are turning to functional medicine to heal reflux naturally. 


🌿Natural Acid Reflux Support We Offer in Aurora 

At Aurora Functional Healthcare Inc., we personalize your healing plan based on:


1. Advanced GI Testing – to assess acid levels, H. pylori, and inflammation

2. Targeted Nutritional Therapy – to calm the gut lining and support digestion

3. Herbal & Enzyme Support – like DGL, slippery elm, ginger, and betaine HCl (if appropriate)

4. GERD-Safe Diet Plans – personalized to your triggers, microbiome, and acid tolerance


We also help you identify root contributors, including:



● Food sensitivities

● Chronic stress

● Mold exposure

● Histamine intolerance 

📍Why Aurora Clients Trust Our Natural Reflux Support 

Functional medicine is different. When you book a $250 consultation, we dive deep into your:


● Gut history
