About this course

Oesophagitis is one of the most common conditions that your patients experience. When a questionnaire was mailed to a random sample of 2500 people aged 20 years, 9% of them said they had experienced heartburn on the day they completed the questionnaire, 15% that week and 21% that month. A staggering 45% said they had experienced some regurgitation symptoms in the last year. 

Medications for oespophagitis may be the most prescribed drug class in the world and we have tremendous ability to identify the cause and give quick, reliable results. Dr Sandberg-Lewis is widely recognised as the expert in natural gastroenterology publishing his textbook "Functional Gastroenterology: Assessing and Addressing the Causes of Functional Digestive Disorders". Steven has practiced as a naturopathic physician since 1978 and has been a clinical and didactic professor at the National University of Natural Medicine since 1996. This presentation is a thorough, up-to-date discussion of the principle causes and solutions to this extremely common and frustrating condition.
