My gastroenterologist gave me medication but it’s been a while and I haven’t recovered. Why?
Because the drugs that are normally prescribed in case of gastric reflux, such as hippos, reduce the production of stomach acids (you may therefore notice a lower acid rise) but do not affect the cause of the problem, that is, the tightness of the Cardias (so that the cardia does not become open) or on a possible hiatal hernia. The gastric contents in fact go up towards the throat because the muscle fibers that should close the stomach pit, the so-called cardia, no longer work properly due to an often mechanical problem, that is due to alterations, and therefore, muscular and fascial tensions, which the drug obviously can’t solve. Only specific physiotherapy techniques aimed at rebalancing the fascial / muscular system will be able to solve the mechanical problem of these pathologies and therefore also all the disabling symptoms associated with them.
For reflux I’ve been taking antacids for a long time but as I stop the burning returns. Because? How can I suspend without feeling sick?
Those who have been taking antacids for a long time and are no longer able to suspend them because otherwise they are ill, it is because their body is now in defense. In practice, the drugs in question reduce the acidity of the stomach, but this should be done for a short time, because the stomach was created to be acidic! What happens then? It happens that, having been programmed to maintain a certain acid pH within it, to compensate for the lower acidity induced by the drug, it will stimulate the production of more acid (precisely for defense) with the increase of gastrin and histamine, as an attempt to unblock the system. Therefore, when you stop taking the drugs, you will have a rebound effect, that is, you will feel the burning of the extra acid produced precisely by gastrin and histamine for defense. It is therefore necessary to help yourself with natural products that modulate the secretion of acid and gradually suspend the drug, thus avoiding the side effect of burning from suspension. This, however, only under specialized medical supervision.
My situation has worsened over time instead of improving. Why?
It has been found that, whatever the underlying cause underlying gastric reflux, a strong shortening of the diaphragm muscle always appears clearly. The diaphragm is the main muscle of breathing, it is dome-shaped and is located inside the rib cage, above the stomach. When the fibers of the diaphragm shorten for various reasons, they create a constant overpressure on the stomach (since the diaphragm resides on the stomach), thus causing a slowdown in digestion. This slowing down causes fermentation of the introduced food. And when a food ferments it creates air, the so-called gastric bubble, which will push upwards to exit, thus stimulating the cardia to open with consequent reflux and tachycardia, because the tip of the heart is resting on the diaphragm, which will be moved towards up from the gastric bubble. In addition, taking hipp drugs taken for long periods, without breaks, can lead to serious side effects, including a worsening of the body’s ability to digest food and absorb nutrients, thus contributing to the formation of air and dysbiosis. intestinal, resulting in reflux. That is why it will be important to treat the mechanical cause of the problem to fix it.
I always have a lump in my throat that at times gives me the impression of suffocating and I have a lot of air in my belly. Can the Trabucco method help me?
Yes, because this disorder is in many cases determined by an abnormal tension of the fascia (i.e. a LAYER OF FIBROUS CONNECTIVE TISSUE, which extends over the whole body immediately under the skin, where it envelops the muscles, separates them and coordinates them in a functional way during movement) which affects the throat giving the classic discomfort of the bolus because the elasticity of the muscle bands is reduced. Why is the elasticity of the fascia, and consequently, of the muscle reduced? There are many causes. In this case, there is often an irritative effect related to gastric reflux. But also a reduced clereance (cleaning) and therefore the peristalsis of the esophagus, can give the sensation of having a lump in the throat. BECAUSE’? Because peristalsis is used to clean the esophagus vertically from any food residues that are left, to then clean, thanks to contractions that start from the top of the esophagus downwards, to push down the ingested food (bolus ), and to avoid stagnation or blockages of the food bolus. However, these movements can also occur without the food bolus passing, that is, between meals on an empty stomach, to push any pieces of food left in the esophagus down into the stomach (such as a shaking of the esophagus). It is therefore easy to understand how insufficient peristalsis can give the sensation of a bolus. Its deficiency is also often caused by abnormal fascial and muscular tensions in question. Furthermore, the sensation of the bolus can also derive from cervical injuries. Even when you live a stressful situation for a long time, especially in anxious people, it can trigger the sensation of the bolus or worsen the symptoms (it was called hysterical bolus). This is because even an anxious emotional state still stiffens over time the so-called “emotions” muscles such as the diaphragm, the muscles of the shoulders, neck and head, and we know how their impairment represents the irritating spine for the onset of reflux and in this case also the bolus. It’s all connected. It has been interesting to see that about a quarter of people with reflux have an alteration of the clereance, that is, peristalsis does not work. It is easy to understand how a mechanical treatment aimed at resolving acid reflux to consequently reduce the rigidity of the fascial and muscular system, especially of the head and neck, and to have a functioning peristalsis, can be the starter for the healing path. The Trabucco Method offers this treatment of choice.
I suffer from symptoms such as tachycardia and / or mucus and / or frequent sore throat and / or asthma. Is it possible that all these symptoms are related to reflux?
Yes! When the diaphragm is blocked, it constantly pushes on the stomach, altering its mechanics, that is, it does not allow the stomach to do a correct centrifugation of the bolus (the situation becomes even worse when there is not enough acid for the intake of PPI) to which we will have a bolus that is not completely liquid. This, in addition to likely causing gastric reflux, will also cause intestinal dysbiosis (it has more “unpleasant” bacteria than the good ones in the intestine). Why do you have dysbiosis? The problem is that in the intestine the food must arrive liquid otherwise if small pieces of undigested food arrive, due to both a malfunction of the stomach but also of the liver which with the bile transports fats from the intestine to the blood and the pancreas which with pancreatic juice it brings sugars and proteins from the intestine to the blood, if these three do not work well you will have intestinal dysbiosis because to digest that piece that has arrived in the intestine, fungi and bacteria intervene which exist precisely for this function since the organism must always strive for equilibrium. And why is it necessary to talk about these functions when talking about gastric reflux cough and / or asthma and its multiple symptoms? Because this call of bacteria, fungi and parasites to digest even a very small piece of undigested bolus, will lead to inflammation and release of histamine, which is very irritating, and inflames the bronchial mucosa with a consequent chronic cough. This is why in some cases, even if you take the treatment for the cough, it does not go away, because as usual you don’t go to act on the cause. To solve the problem it will therefore be necessary to do a mechanical rebalancing work of the diaphragm and all the accessory inspiratory muscles, as well as intestinal reprogramming to restore a healthy bacterial flora that does not release histamine and pro-inflammatory molecules with unpleasant consequences.
My doctor said that I am stressed / anxious, but when I could feel good it is the reflux symptoms that make me anxious!
When you are under stress or anxious, the target organ becomes the diaphragm, because it is the muscle “of emotions” that is, it reflects our moods and reacts by shortening all our fears, tension, anger, etc. So if you have fears that are especially not recognized inside, and therefore on an unconscious level, automatically the diaphragm remains shortened even when you sleep. It has been seen that, although the emotional component may be the basis of this pathology, it has precise, tangible and detectable effects from objective and instrumental examinations on the muscles of the chest (accessory respiratory muscles) and especially on the diaphragm, which react by shortening. The ascent of the left hemidiaphragm is observed radioscopically under the effect of both the aergastria and the left aerocoly. The problem is that the muscle, by its nature, once shortened no longer spontaneously returns long, even if we become Buddha! This is because it follows the physical law of viscoelastic bodies. In fact, if the patient is aware of the psychosomatic origin of his disorders and to try to heal he only undergoes psychotherapy, there will certainly be a decrease in anxiety, but the physical anguish will remain, precisely because of the physical law of the muscle mentioned in precedence. Therefore, to obtain a true healing, in addition to any psychological work, it is necessary to bring the affected muscles back to their physiological condition of elasticity, and the only way to do this is to apply specific physiotherapy techniques designed to stretch them again to bring them back into balance. the mechanics of the muscular and gastroesophageal apparatus.
I always have mucus in my throat, sometimes even in my ears and nose. Can the Trabucco method help me?
Yes! The “block” of the diaphragm muscle also causes abdominal circulatory stasis, that is, the blood that flows down from the top of the body to the bottom, in this case it slows down, resulting in the stagnation of toxins in the organs of origin. In this case, when the intestine fails to eliminate all the various accumulated toxins, it directs them either towards the skin creating itching eczema etc. or towards the lungs creating mucus, which can also form in the ears and nose in the form or not of sinusitis. It will therefore be necessary to act on the restoration of the elongation and flexibility of the diaphragm, of its accessory inspiratory muscles and on intestinal reprogramming, to eliminate the multiple toxins produced by venous stagnation, to make the colon able to eliminate without problems the toxins assigned to it with the I did.
I always have a cough and / or reflux asthma. Can the Trabucco method help me?
Yes! When the diaphragm is blocked, it constantly pushes on the stomach, altering its mechanics, that is, it does not allow the stomach to do a correct centrifugation of the bolus (the situation becomes even worse when there is not enough acid for the intake of PPI) to which we will have a bolus that is not completely liquid.

I’ve tried them all, there seems to be nothing that works with me! Now I think I have to live with this problem
Healing means first of all understanding why reflux has appeared in your case and then acting on all the problems encountered. Reflux is not only a pathology of the esophagus but often the esophageal disorder is only the indicator of the loss of balance of the fascial / muscular system, and of the neuro-endocrine immune balance, which can also involve other organs. Therefore, in most cases, if you want to obtain an improvement of the esophageal disorder, in addition to acting mechanically with the rebalancing of the fascial and muscular system such as elongation of the diaphragm muscle of the accessory inspiratory muscles and in general of the posture, it is necessary treat also dysbiosis, acidosis, visceral fat, stomach acid secretion and not least the regulation of the vegetative nervous system. The TRABUCCO Integrated Method represents an optimal solution to reflux disease and NERD or functional pathology (i.e. reflux without esophagitis, therefore negative tests that do not justify the symptom), thanks to the synergy between physiotherapy and systemic treatment.
I always have burning in the chest and throat, but the esophageal and gastric mucous membranes do not show particular alterations with gastroscopy. My doctor says I have a functional or nerdy condition, the cause of which is unknown. Can the Trabucco method help me?
Yes! NERD is also referred to as functional disease. But what does functional mean? It means that the functioning is altered even if the anatomical structure in question is intact. For example, there are many cases of subjects who have reflux symptoms, do gastroscopy and it turns out that the esophageal and gastric mucosa are fine. So negative tests that do not justify the symptom. In these cases we speak of NERD, that is, it is assumed that there is reflux but the mucosa in the meantime is healthy. But there is a mechanical explanation for all of this. The shortening of the diaphragm muscle reduces the discharge, that is the drainage of the venous blood of the esophagus and stomach, for which the esophagus, for example, no longer able to eliminate toxins as it normally would in the presence of a long and elastic diaphragm, goes encounter a venous stagnation of its wall with consequent low-grade chronic inflammation (the stagnation of toxins causes inflammation), thus being able to seem like a reflux disease. It turns out that it is not reflux only when the person, after massive assumptions of hipp (proton pump inhibitors) does not see his situation improve and gastroscopy does not show mucosal erosions. The presence of NERD requires us to evaluate the esophagus at 360 degrees and for this an integrated approach such as that of the Trabucco Method is required.
