This is my story, believe it or not. I was diagnosed with acid reflux in 2002 . Immedietly i was put on proton pump inhibitors, (prevacid, prilosec, etc) i got relief from all the symtoms . NOw fast forward to a couple years ago. I had been trying on my own to get off the medication using natural homepathic remedies. Some helped
but i wasnt able to quit taking the prevacid.
I heard a radio show with a clinical nutrionist speaking and he gave the advice of acid relux is not a condition of your stomach producing too much acid as all the MDs and pharmaceutical companies want you to believe, but too little acid is being produced . This didnt make sense to me or any one i talked to about it. the nutritionists reasoning behind this is as we get older we produce less acid not more and our food isnt being digested well . This food thats not being properly digested is rotting and creating a lactic acid condition which will reflux into the esophagus.
After listening to this for a yr . or 2 i finally decided to try his method . I started on the hydrocloric acid supplements and the digestive enzymes and i have had no problems since . To me this was a miracle as i did not want to be on these drugs for life. There are side effects with their use. These supplements can be bought at most any health food store .
If you have acid relux, try this you wont be sorry.
