Banish the Burn

My mother-in-law has endured serious heartburn for a long time. And, along with popping hundreds of antacids and being careful what she ate, she’s seen at least a dozen doctors. Because a lot of them assumed the problem was a lot of acid, they would whip out their prescription pads, prepared to write a script for a proton pump inhibitor. Others had suggested surgery to shift pieces & parts of the digestive system to stop the uncomfortable acid reflux.

However, despite the fact that these doctors had been providing the very best modern medicine has to offer, the premise they started with was a flawed one. It turns out, the burning sensation wasn’t from an excessive amount of stomach acid – it was from too little!

To miss the Mark

Ever since the creation of antacids, stomach acid has gotten a bad rap. Nonetheless, the fact remains, our digestive system would shut down without it.

Here is how it works: After you eat, stomach acid breaks down large food debris before the food moves into the intestines. If there isn’t sufficient stomach acid, www.mypeakbiome.com these large food particles are able to sit in the stomach for hours instead of being fast passed into the intestines, where nutrition from the food are absorbed. This particular undigested food might back up in the stomach and begin to push the way of its up into the esophagus of yours, creating discomfort and burning.

The issue is, we’ve been trained to take an otc antacid to alkalize away the pain. Sure, it will make the burning sensation disappear temporarily, although it doesn’t address the underlying cause. Instead, you keep popping a chewable tablet each time the burn starts, creating a vicious cycle.

The very same thing can happen if a family doctor has put you on a proton-pump inhibitor like Nexeum. However, once again, since these drugs are designed for treating the symptoms instead of the cause, you might find yourself taking them for years.
