When this symptoms are treat with antacids, there can be a initial relief however more problems can result because they inhibit the body’s ability to produce HCL. Without the proper amount of HCL the sanitation of food is in risk. Uncontrolled yeast and bacteria can result. Antacids trigger the lower stomach to release more acid, requiring more antacids, this will exhaust the cells of the stomach and eventually they become unable to produce acid.

Many antacids contain aluminium compounds and can cause long term calcium depletion contributing to osteoporosis.

 

Why it happens

The backing of the acid reflux is acid reflux, this can be caused by many factors like low stomach acid. Contrary to what people were trained to believe indigestion is usually caused by low stomach acid.

Normal acidity levels cause the esophageal sphincter to close off keeping food in its proper place.

We are causing more problems by suppressing or neutralizing acid to stop heartburn symptoms. Antacids may cause a vicious cycle of heartburn problems, they are not a cure for what causes these problem in the first place. the problem with lowering the the production of HCL is that indigestion, heartburn, ulcers, may not be caused by an over-production of acid but rather by an under-production.

We need to think in ways to increase the acid, have a more healthy diet , and keep the esophageal sphincter from leaking acid to the esophagus.
