Learn How to Deal With Stomach Acid Problems

What’s Too Much and What’s Too Little?

When many people experience heartburn-like symptoms, they often associate it with acid reflux disease, ulcers or other problems caused by too much stomach acid. However these symptoms and others like gasiness, flatulence, stomach pains and indigestion can actually be caused by too little stomach acid. Such is the case with GERD and Hydrochlohydria. To get a successful GERD cure, you must educate yourself about alternative remedies.

It is important to know if you have too much or too little stomach acid as the problem can be made worse if you take medication to treat the wrong condition. For example, if you take a medication to reduce stomach acid when you already have too little stomach acid, you will make things much worse.

Stomach Acid And Digestive Enzymes

Enzymes like Pepsin work in the stomach to break down food, aiding digestion. Hydrochloric acid (stomach acid) helps break down food. Both of these kill and isolate harmful bacteria, preventing it from moving between the stomach and small intestine.

The opposite is true with acid reflux, where stomach acid comes back up into the esophagus. In this case, there is often low stomach acid production, causing food to stay in the stomach too long. This can lead to regurgitation of food and stomach contents.

In this case you should NOT:

  • take prescription acid reflux medications or over the counter antacids
  • bend over after meal time (keep your upper body elevated)
  • eat large meals or over-eat
  • drink liquids with meals

Natural Treatments for Stomach Acid Problems

Fortunately there are many natural remedies and home based cures for stomach acid problems. The great news is that they are affordable, readily available, easy to take and adjust to suit your personal needs.

Natural remedies for acid reflux are based on improving your metabolism which can be done partly through diet and exercise. This doesn’t have to be strenuous, but the more you can do will help.

Some Natural Home Remedies For Acid Reflux

  • Stay hydrated – drink 6-10 glasses of water per day
  • Exercise regularly, even if it’s just a 20 minute walk
  • Eat smaller and more frequent meals and snacks throughout the day
  • Keep your upper body elevated when laying down
  • Try taking a teaspoon of mustard
  • Drink a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar (add honey to improve the taste)

How Do You Know Your Stomach Acid Level?

A good way to tell if you have high or low stomach acid levels is if taking taking antacids increases the symptoms or if eating acidic foods hasn’t really made your symptoms worse, then you may be suffering from low production of stomach acid. Be sure to promote good digestion and a high metabolism rate through a good diet and regular exercise.
