Guest guest Posted September 3, 2010 Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 Impossible. Kefir is a pH of 4.5. The stomach should be about 2. (I could be wrong.) The stomach has to make its own acid with raw materials from the diet, namely salt.

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 Hi, I'm Sheri, Dr. Aceves did my sleeve back in November of 2010. I am loving the results, learning to eat well and adjusting to the restriction. But after 4 months still having to use and acid blocker. Has anyone else had the same issue. I am wondering if I will have to use it indefinitely or if my new stomach will eventually adjust. Sheri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 I'm also 13 mo. out and still take 1 omiprozole 20mg a day. My PCP told me that when it's time to quit taking them I needed to come off them slowly. Like cut down 1 dose a week till I'm off them. I tried stopping at 4 months out and had to go back on them. > > Sheri, > > My experience is that each person is different. I still take a prevacid daily.

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 Sheri, For me at 6 months out, I am not taking anything regularly. I still get slight heartburn a few times a week, but only a few of those times does it require taking a Tums or Rolaid. The other times it is a brief occurrance and then as soon as it came, it is gone!I've been off any OTC meds for about 2 months. I have learned what foods/drinks are going to cause it and try to avoid them.Sent from my iPhoneOn Mar 14, 2011, at 2:12 PM, "pokeysher" <pokeysher@...> wrote: Hi, I'm Sheri, Dr. Aceves did my sleeve back in November of 2010.

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 Thank you all for your replies. It's so true that the benefit far out ways the acid. I keep it under control and will continue. It is good to know that others deal with it to. Thanks again, Sheri > > Hi, I'm Sheri, > > Dr. Aceves did my sleeve back in November of 2010.
