Clip 1: Filipinos love to eat. And for us Filipinos, food is more than just physical nourishment. Filipino
has a lot of tradition when it comes to the way of eating.  We eat three times a day with snacks in
between meals and that’s the tradition that we take from our old grandparents. And the best and important
meal for us is dinner time where we talk and share each other experiences for the whole day and interact with
one another, enjoying the food and have a happy dinner together.

Truly, we Filipino are one of the biggest food lovers in the world. We love to eat everywhere, anywhere, and
anything. We start eating when we open our eyes until before we sleep. In the morning we start eating our
breakfast with merienda at 10 in the morning, then lunch, and again merienda at 3 in the afternoon, then dinner
with midnight snacks in the evening. That is how Filipinos lo2ve to eat.

But sometimes or usually for many of us experience chest pain or feeling something that goes up to our throat
which tastes sour or bitter after indulging ourselves with food, or when we’re laying down, or stressed out, or
can even be after taking certain medications. What can this be?

Have you ever wondered why? These common digestive complains may actually be related to what we
eat and our lifestyle. And just because they’re common does not mean they’re normal.

Physiology is the study of the n workings of the human body

So the question is “how to we return to normal digestive physiology and why is this an impt pursuit”

We spend a lot of time concerning ourselves about the perfect diet, but really we all know what that
mean, eat healthy, nutritious food. But how much time do we spend think about digestion. Afterall the
body should just take care of it right? Digestion can be defined as the breakdown of food which allow for
the absorption of nutrient12s.

Now you’ve all heard, you are what eat but that’s not quite true. You are what you absorb. Hats the
point of eating healthy food if we aren’t also optimizing digestion.

In essence, the entire digestive system is inhibited which can negatively affect the nutrient that we
absorb and can contribute to common digestive complains. We have a protective gate at the entrance of
our stomach that locks acid from going upward. Preventing symptoms as what we commonly refer to as
“heartburn” and sadly some of our favourite foods and beverages like coffee, chocolate and alcohol can
all contribute to a dysfunctional gate, being overweight can place added stress on the gate, and the
heightened stress can enhance the symptoms of heartburn. So while there are serious dx that do
require to use of acid blocking medication, the indiscriminate use of these drugs over a long period of
time can be nutritionally risky and can increase the chances of calcium, vi b12 deficiency, as well as for
chon breakdown.

By taking the time to relearn the N physiology of digestion, we’re inspired to support it not suppress it.
Optimal health requires paying attention not only to what we eat but how we eat. Thank you and bon

 a condition resulting from the recurrent backflow of gastric contents into the
esophagus and adjacent structures causing troublesome symptoms and/or
tissue injury.
 For patients who present with chest pain, even if suspected to be GERD-
related, the consensus guidelines recommend appropriate cardiovascular risk
assessment before starting treatment to ensure patient safety. This ensures
that a heart attack is not misdiagnosed as GERD.
 GERD can be managed through lifestyle modification and drug therapy.
Antireflux surgery may only be required in patients who continue to have
severe symptoms, erosive esophagitis or disease complications despite
adequate drug therapy.
 Proton pump inhibitors, also known as PPIs, are the first-line treatment for
GERD. They reduce the production of acid in the stomach. Less stomach acid
means less irritation of the esophagus if gastric reflux occurs, thereby allowing
the esophagus to heal.
 According to the consensus guidelines, “Standard dose PPI once daily for 8
weeks, taken 30 minutes before breakfast is the cornerstone of GERD
therapy.”
 Even with patient compliance, inadequate symptom control especially at night
may still occur due to the failure of PPIs to provide 24-hour acid control.
Dexlansoprazole, a novel PPI with Dual Delayed Release (DDR) formulation,
was recently made available by Takeda Pharmaceutical (Philippines) Inc. to
address this gap. The once-a-day capsule provides 24-hour control of acid
production for round-the-clock symptom relief and improved sleep. Unlike
other PPIs that must be taken 30 to 60 minutes before a meal for optimal
efficacy, Dexlansoprazole can be taken anytime with or without food. This
flexible dosing increases patient compliance and enhance treatment success.
