A doctor who graduated from Harvard University has gone viral after revealing a common Christmas health issue that should never be ignored.

Dr Saurabh Sethi, a gastroenterologist, shares his experience and knowledge with his 473,000 followers on TikTok (@doctorsethimd ).

He previously shared a shocking warning for women who drink diet sodas; saying that those who do, face a “significantly higher risk” of heart attacks and strokes, reports What’s The Jam.

Now, in a recent clip, racking up over 1.5m views and 26,000 likes, he’s said there’s one common health issue people will likely suffer this Christmas.

And why it’s important to get it checked out before it’s too late.

“This is a common gut symptom you should never ignore,” the 42-year-old begins.

Dr Sethi explains that he recently treated a patient with chronic heartburn, who went on to develop oesophageal cancer.

He continues: “Heartburn happens when the lower oesophageal sphincter, which should close after eating, stays open.

“[This causes] stomach acid reflux back into the food pipe.

“Over time, this can lead to a precancerous condition called Barrets, which can potentially lead to oesophageal cancer.”

He suggests for occasional heartburn to try sleeping on the left side of your body and eating dinner at least four hours before going to bed.

Dr Sethi, from California, US, also says to eat unsweetened fennel seeds after meals to avoid this pain.

“If you have chronic heartburn, consult your doctor,” he adds as a final warning.

“Especially if you are experiencing difficulty swallowing or a sensation of food getting stuck.”

With Christmas only two weeks away, it’s easy to stock up on indulgent, rich foods to truly enjoy over the festive season.

But, of course, this is also the time of year where heartburn is the most prevalent.

According to the NHS, there are an estimated 13,200 visits to the condition’s advice page during Christmas Day and Boxing Day.

And while Dr Sethi, like many others, treats himself at this time of year, he says there are foods to be mindful of consuming – and some to avoid altogether.

He added: “I’m particularly careful of foods that might lead to digestive discomfort, like rich, high-fat dishes, or those with excessive sugar.

“To navigate holiday gatherings, I focus on balance.

“I don’t bring my own food, but I try to enjoy smaller portions and prioritise light, fibre-rich options like salad and roasted vegetables.

“Always go for lean protein and ensure to stay hydrated.

“Remind yourself to enjoy everything in moderation.

“That way, you get to savour all the great Christmas food, without compromising how you feel – and avoid heartburn for good.”
