To Heidi re enzymes & acid reducers

[Guest guest]

Hi Heidi, just wondering where u are getting your information re

needing a acid inhibitor & pancreatic enzymes. I actually make

little

to none hydrocloric acid, but alot of bile refluxes into my esophagus

& the proton

pump

does not work on the bile. There are many natural ways to

prevent or help acid reduction, and I do have Barretts esophagus,

supposedly from too much acid, but in my case bile, so I believe what

u

are saying is not necesarily true re the two being needed together.

A

perfect Ph balance would be optimal of course, but obviously the

porcine can & does

work

for me without an acid reducer. Everyone is different and stomach

acid

can & does change from moment to moment & day to day, so by taking

these drugs that stay in your body for so long, there is no way of

knowing what your body is doing. Just my 2cents worth......

I too am on Prevacid with my enzymes. My doctor explained it to me

the way Heidi explained it in her e-mail. Viokase enzymes are not

coated. In order for them to work properly a drug like Prevacid needs

to be taken.

Just what I've been told by the docs,

My doc prescrived them to me for the same reason as Heidi's doc. To help the

enzymes get to where they need to go. It also seems to help some with nausea.
