About a month ago I started taking various over-the-counter medications (like Mylanta or the CVS duplicate), I noticed I did get used to them and they stopped working after about a week...The doctors never actually gave me medication... they just said to eat at least once every couple of hours. -shrug-It's an on/off thing. Like 2 months without it, then a week of having it, etc. It doesn't seem related to any foods.

Are you still on medication?If your constantly taking drugs to lower you stomach acid, the body might actually be creating extra acid to compensate for the effects of the medication. This is the mechanism of tolerance and withdrawal.

Why did this comment get a thumbs-down???Lemons ARE acidic before they're in your body, in their natural form BUT, once they're inside the stomach, the form that they're broken down into is ALKALINE. So, we can say that for the human body, lemons are alkaline/basic. I don't really know if they can "cure" heartburn, but I do know that my stomach is sensitive to a shitload of things and I recently started eating A LOT of lemons, and nothing's happened at all.

But I've was diagnosed with gastro problems and had LOTS of heartburn and pain ever since I was 6, and at that point in time I only ate healthy... lots of raw and steamed veggies, fresh fruit, occasional lean meat/fish. :( I don't eat nearly as well anymore... but it honestly hasn't made a difference in my stomach. I guess I'll never be rid of it.

Pickle Juice!! it works! i've been gulping down the pickle juice in the mornings and i'm good for the rest of the day. i have to stay away from pork, fatty meats and fast food. fish and poultry are okay, red meat and pork KILL ME!! if u have acid reflux bad like i have, laying on the left side helps a tiny bit, but doesn't get rid of it. Today i'm buying some apple cider vinegar to see how that works! i hate acid reflux w/ a passion i've also had my gal bladder removed 9 yrs ago.

I eat very little, mostly raw foods, and lots of fruit; all grown right in here in my own state, Washington! I dont eat meat any more; I dont believe store bought meat is safe, and meat is really hard to digest anyways! I try and keep my body environment alkaline instead of Acidic, as disease needs an acidic environment to grow! Everything thing got better when I learned that! LOL Oh and I take nothing from Big Pharma! (smile) |
