Got GERD? Aka, acid reflux.
Another tip you might not have known is that food manufacturers add acid (Citric acid, absorbic acid, Vitamin C, etc) to foods pkgd, frozen and canned foods as a preservative to prolong shelf life and this additive typically makes the food as acidic as stomach acid. So, if you’re eating a lot of pkgd/processed foods and have problems with heartburn, reflux, e tc . you may want to consider eating a more natural diet and get the external acid out. On the other hand, if you’re not eating many processed foods (only once or twice a week) and still have GERD, then it’s likely that too much stomach acid is not the problem, but not enough. Instead of reaching for Tums or popping other anti-acids, try taking an over the counter supplement called HCI (hydrochloric acid) with some digestive enzymes. Typically the burn is from “not enough” stomach acid rather than too much.
Hard to imagine I know, so Google it and be your own detective.
Enjoy! Liberty =)
