Re: Re: Baking soda for heartburn and candida ?

[Guest guest]

I think it depends on the person. In my case, I have too little acid so use

apple cider vinegar. I believe the baking soda is only for those with too

much acid.

Symptoms are the same.

Thank you everybody, I have another question for you

Does hypothyroidism cause too much or too little acid in the stomach?

Thank you

hi cheri

what is your dosage of apple cidar vinegar?

i think if one takes baking soda away from meals it might help to reduce body

acidity.

thanks

I don't do it every day, just when I have issues or will eat something that

will create issues. Usually either one teaspoon or one tablespoon. I also

use HCL sometimes before a meal.

Do you know if high or low acid is your issue? I thought I was low acid then

I got some test strips a few years ago and it showed I was very alkaline (I

eat kombu which makes you more alkaline as do regular veggies). That

surprised me so I experimented and researched and found out I was low acid.

One symptom of low acid is trouble digesting things like meats. One of the

adrenal authors said that but I don't remember which one. Maybe Dr. Lam.

However, I also have Candida which is supposed to be high acidic so I think

gut and overall body acidity vs. alkaline can be different. Seems I might

have high acidity in some organs but low in the gut. Of course, that is all

theory on my part.

I meant I thought I was HIGH acid in my comment below, lol, before I got the

strips that showed low.

I take it directly, not mixed in water. I take everything directly if I can.

Just gulp it and get it over with. Mixing stuff with water gags me more

often than not.

Licorice is good for digestive issues as is betaine HCL. Also, probiotics

depending on the cause of your digestive issues. Cheri

It could be hypoglycemia btu ia suspect it may just be excess stomach

acid from the HC. You can either try the baking soda a little with each

dose, otr oyu could get a glucose meter to determine if yoiu have

hypoglycemia. Many pharmacies have them free if oyu ask. Or you can

usually find one on Ebay for under$10

Hi and everybody

The supermarket ran out of baking soda yesterday but I will buy it

today.

Anyway the more I read about heartburn the more confused I get about

my diagnosis.

All I know is that I have pain in the entrance of the

stomach and that I feel terribly hungry the whole day even after

eating something that used to fill me before.

[Guest guest]

Does it always hurt when you swallow? I have a problem with this

periodically. The pain can get pretty intense. For me it feels like I've

taken too big of a swallow of a drink and it is stretching my esophagus. It

turned out the pain was caused from ulcers in my esophagus. I also do not

have a problem with heartburn or reflux.

Cherie

Experience: that most brutal of teachers. But you learn, my God do you

learn.--C.S.

Any time oyu feel dizzy but before you get shaky! Fasting is a good time

first thing in the AM, or any time in the daytime after at least 5 hours

since eating or reinking anything except water as that would be fasting

as well.

>> Val, I don't take HC, Is it possible that I have

excess stomach acid anyway?

If it was hypoglycaemia, wouldn't it go away when I eat?<<

Yes it should but cna take up to 40 minutes for digestion to raise your glucose

enough to releive symptoms. Depends on what oyu eat.

,

I finally decided my dizzy spells were from low cortisol. The last one I had

(besides today) was the day after my mom had a REALLY hard day and I didn't

think to stress dose. Today I'm not right at all because I'm just using the

cream. It definately doesn't work as well for me. I've felt awful all day

long and started feeling dizzy again this afternoon. I don't know if your

dizziness would be related or not though.
