That burning in your throat? (relief, natural)

[RevelationWriter]

- I just heard a Medical doctor say Acid Reflux is because of bacteria in the stomach.

So eating natural foods that counter act the bacteria is what's needed.

He said the liver is not processing the bacteria so combat it with naturally anti bacterial foods.

Just how would a liver "process" bacteria anyway??? Think I'll pass on this guy.

You may have misunderstood or the person was not a medical Dr. It makes no sense. I Googled and found this:

Many people find relief by changing their diet or taking several Tums if they feel that burning sensation. Others take prescription or OTC medication.

Bacteria doesn't cause reflux or heartburn.

- Are you a Doctor?

I don't know what kind of doctor told you that, but he's not an MD. Or if he is he's off his meds.

Your liver doesn't "process bacteria." Bacteria you ingest either die in the pH2 stomach acid or if they get into the body per se, and not just the GI tract, they are attacked by the immune system. That's it in simple terms. And no the liver doesn't filter anything. Are you confusing it with the kidneys? The liver has biochemical detoxifying pathways, but that's not the same. A whole lot of confusion here started by the original post.
