Excess Stomach Acid-Are You Sure It Is Excess?
When talking to Western Medicine Doctors, they always go with the Excess Stomach Acid diagnosis. When talking to Naturopathic or Holistic Doctors they have a totally different explanation for the problem.
Not true for everyone, but most of us actually have what we think is Excess Stomach Acid, but the problem is actually caused due to the fact that you do Not Produce Enough Stomach Acid.
Ok I know you think I'm nuts! Stick with me for a moment and I will explain it as it was explained and taught to me and how it made a lot of sense.
As we get older in life many parts of our bodies don't function as they once did. So, why wouldn't it make perfect sense that our stomachs would be any different?
We don't produce as much Stomach Acid in our later years as we did when we were younger. So, when we eat, the amount of stomach acid, better known as "Hydrochloric Acid" is impaired. Meaning the amount of acid that we once produced to break down our food properly is lessened, which slows down our digestive process. This leaves our food in our stomachs longer than normal, trying to continue to breakdown and exit into the small intestine to continue the process.
When the partially digested food sits in our stomachs trying to finish breaking down, we go about our active lives and possibly lie down, stretch out, whatever. Then we start burping and up comes the partially digested food into our throats and mouth burning all the way up. The burning is from the Hydrochloric Acid that is now mixed in with the food. Hydrochloric Acid is not meant to go that direction. Too caustic! If enough Stomach Acid was produced, like when we were younger, the digestive process would take place in the time allotted and would go on its merry way!
So what usually happens, you take an Antacid and stop and destroy what little Hydrochloric Acid your stomach did produce, and you stop all processing and the breakdown of your food
You can cure your acid reflux, acid indigestion, heartburn or excess stomach acid, whatever you want to call it, naturally without RX drugs and over the counter medications. It could be and is really simple to test and try out some of the most simple ways to do this. Its not only cheaper but safer to cure naturally.

What Feels Like Excess Stomach Acid May Not Be Excess!
It may be too little as in not enough!
