==============================

This is a true statement. The reason we get heartburn is because there

is not enough acid to digest the food. This happens for many reasons

one of the major being drinking fluids right before, during or right

after meals, thus diluting the acid in our stomach.

I can tell

you that with it IS too much acid and we have the ph probe tests to

prove it. ;-)

Not to

mention an esophagus that was eaten away. Doubt too little acid could cause

that.

Which leads me to a

question... I was watching a 2am infomercial about some herbal guy

selling a book and one of the things he talked about was heartburn. He said

heartburn is caused not by too much stomach acid but by NOT ENOUGH! Said

instead of taking things to suppress stomach acid, try taking a couple

tablespoons of vinegar instead. Medical doctors prescribing drugs for acid

reflux and heart burn KNOW they're getting you hooked for life because it keeps

your stomach from making acid so as soon as you get off the drugs your old

problem comes back.

Anyone know how true that is?

Too little acid causes it to evaporate into your esophagus.

I don't know! That's why I was asking about this guy's theory. His theory is that not enough acid causes it to evaporate and cause pain and damage and that taking a little vinegar solves the problem.

Causes what to evaporate? And why would that cause an abnormally high reading on a ph probe? And why would something that also lowers the acid ( Zantac) till allow for a high ph reading, but the Prilosec lowered it and also caused the esophagus to heal?

I am not arguing, just trying to understand and put into place what you are saying with our experience. I am deffo open to other thoughts on this whole issue, though admittedly very reluctant to stop what has worked since the consequences have been so serious.

We also suspect that she refluxes due to low muscle tone. But her ph is now in normal range so don’t understand exactly why normal acid levels don’t seem to cause damage if the reflux is happening due to structural causes.

I can vouch for the fact that vinegar can heal heartburn. I can't swear

it works for everyone - but it worked for me, for my son, and for a good

friend of mine. Taking vinegar on an empty stomach, just prior to

eating. Worked wonders. Then clearing up my diet helped

the problem even more - food combinations seem the biggest problem. No

processed foods, no sugar,

if you eat meat, only with green veggies (no potatoes or other high

starch veggies with meat). Starchy veggies can be eaten with green

veggies. Fruit only alone - never in combination with other foods.

If you eat light fruit - like citrus, alone, it clears your stomach in

15 minutes. starchy fruits like banana can take up to an hour. If you

eat fruit with other foods, have wrong combination of digestive enzymes

released, and can't digest, so much of it putrifies in your gut. It

takes 4 hours for the typical veggie and starch meal to clear your

system, so don't eat fruit till 4 hours after such a meal. It takes up

to 6 hours

for a meat and veggie meal to clear your system, so don't eat fruit till

6 hours after such a meal. If you eat fruit first, like for breakfast,

that works well. Then nothing else for an hour (if starchy fruit included).

Or prior to another meal, 15 minutes if its light fruit, an hour if its

a starchier fruit. Joy
