Can Acid Reflux Be Fixed? Exploring GERD Treatment Options with Dr. Raj Parikh | Part 2

In this episode of The Flush, we're continuing our conversation about one of the most common digestive conditions affecting millions of Americans: GERD, also known as acid reflux. Hosted by Julianna Hallman and Dr. Chris Shaver of Birmingham Gastroenterology, we're joined again by special guest Dr. Raj Parikh to discuss what happens when acid reflux doesn't improve with medication alone. We break down the Transoral Incisionless Fundoplication (TIF) procedure, also known as TIF, including who may be a candidate, how it works, what recovery is like, and how it compares to long-term medication and traditional anti-reflux surgery. If you've been living with chronic heartburn or wondering what comes next after medication, this episode will help you better understand your treatment options and when it's time to talk to a gastroenterologist. Our goal is to make digestive health easier to understand, easier to talk about, and easier to navigate with confidence.
