...I have learned that my stomach acid is too low, from some weird breathing and regurgitation test...my new doctor says stop the antacids and ppi's...take 1/4 to 1/2 tbsp. of apple cider vinegar with 1/4 cup of water after a meal....guess what gerd is gone! so my take on this gerd thing is: my body is producing less stomach acid because im getting older...but anxiety causes less stomach acid because the body is "busy" dealing with mental issues--fight or flight lowers stomach acid levels....so lets think about this millions of people are taking tums,rolaids, prevacid,prilosec etc. thinking that they have too much stomach acid? when it is proven that you make less as you get older! sounds like another big pharma scam. so you mean to tell me that all these middle aged people are blessed with making too much stomach acid? I mean really.. |
