Most times too much acid isn't the problem. I've suffered from insufficient acid
most of my life and have experienced heartburn, due to not enough digestive
power to handle what I've eaten.
The problem is most likely not enough. Sorry but I don't buy the whole too much
acid line they push on tv just to sell you prescription and over the counter meds
people don't need. It big business and they are making a buck on all us gullible
ones.
There are two things I've found related to this.
One, insufficient HCL acid production, made worse by poor eating habits. What
and when we eat and how much is super important. If we eat what our bodies
can't process, it's going to let us know with heartburn, as if to say 'see this? I
can't handle what you're putting in here so cool it!'
If your digestive ability is becoming less over the years then head for your
local health food store. Buy HCL for digesting proteins, buy a full spectrum
vegitable based enzyme for fats, carbs, dairy and fiber. NOW makes a
great one for this.
The other is a shocker but your case is very resent so this'll be easy to recall.
I think the back pain is another indicator. You see, strong emotions are played
out in our bodies. Hold a strong feeling long enough and illness will result.
Reflux can manifest as a result of our feeling very upset (resulting in stomach
upset) at someone. It can be anger at another or even from being scorned or
betrayed by people we trusted.
If this is the case, drop the anger as it harms no one but yourself. If scorned by
others, forgive them (quitely inside yourself) and forgive yourself for the
situation too. Many have done the above and the reflux went away.
Best of luck to you, alternative medicine has much to offer if you do your
research carefully. All the above is alternative medicine.
