I have created this new blog to help inform anyone who comes across it about a completely ignored aspect of struggling with stomach acid reflux / heartburn / GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease).
I am not a doctor—not even close. I am a regular person who has had various very frustrating circumstances trying to discover the reasons for my health problems and have sought hard to find the REAL answers for what is ailing me. I have searched for answers BEYOND what the medical community has offered because they have had NO definite answers or reasons for what is really happening in my body. Instead doctors want to give me another medication to merely treat symptoms (without knowing the root cause), or they offer me a formal name to another disease they now say I have.
The pharmaceutical industry doesn’t want you to know that your acid reflux problem could very well have to do with the fact that you may have TOO LITTLE acid in your stomach!! That’s right. People who have too little acid production in their stomachs have practically the very same symptoms as those who have too much acid production. If you have the condition of producing too little acid in your stomach, hypochlorhydria, taking acid reducers or blockers will only make your health worse in the long run.
This is just an initial post to state the purpose of this blog…there is much more to come in the days ahead.
Until next time…
