About the Author: Norm Robillard

Norm Robillard received his Ph.D. in microbiology from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst studying Bacillus anthracis and other Bacillus species. His post-doctoral training at Tufts University focused on antibiotic resistance and gene transfer between the gut microbes Bacteroides fragilis and E. coli. During his career in pharma / biotech, Dr. Robillard studied the genetics of antibiotic resistance, septic shock, viral illnesses and antimicrobial and antibody-based therapies prior to founding the Digestive Health Institute. Dr. Robillard is the creator of the Fast Tract Diet, author of the Fast Tract Digestion book series and publisher of the Fast Tract Diet mobile app. He was the first to propose excess intestinal fermentation as the underlying cause of acid reflux and explained the connection between intragastric pressure from gas-producing bacteria in our intestines, nutritional malabsorption and the symptoms of acid reflux. His latest book series, Fast Tract Digestion provides a safe and effective dietary tool and behavioral strategy as an alternative to proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), H2 blockers, IBS drugs or antibiotics for heartburn, acid reflux, GERD, laryngopharyngeal reflux disease (LPR), IBS and other SIBO related conditions.

Hi Dr. Robillard,

I noticed a comment from a reader on one of your other postings in regards to wine and beer, and how it helps their symptoms. I have also noticed the same. I found the following in a relating article and wondering your thoughts.

It says : wine and beer increase secretion of stomach acids and speed the emptying of the stomach. Distilled spirits have no such effect.

Thanks,
SH

  Interesting SH, I don’t know anything about this but I’m interested. Do you happen to have reference to the article(s) you are referring to?

I’ve attached the link below. I’ve had chronic acid reflux for almost 4 years, and they only relief I’ve had is from the fast track diet, and suddenly after a few months realized the link with the beer.

I look forward to any thoughts you have on this.

  Thanks for the link SH! – “Three to six weekly glasses of wine had 11% fewer H. pylori infections. More than six glasses per week decreased infections by another 6%.” This is an interesting read. A couple of points: 1. This is an observational study from which we cannot draw definitive conclusion. 2. H. pylori infection can cause long term problems (atrophic gastritis, etc) so getting rid of it, or never becoming infected is a good thing, but its generally considered “protective” or “neutral” for GERD. 3. I’m out of luck as a Scotch drinker.
