Acid reflux is a health issue experienced by numerous people. GERD (Gastroesophageal reflux disease), Peptic ulcer, acid reflux, and heartburn, affects one out of two Americans, and one out of every four, once a month!
The real cause of GERD, heartburn, acid reflux is dehydration, psychical discomfort (tight clothes), over-eating, sphincters malfunctioning, stress, H-Pylori, food allergies, PH imbalance, celiac disease, small bowel bacterial overgrowth, enzyme deficiency and low stomach acids imbalance.
Suppressing acid is only suppressing the symptoms that perpetuate the problem.
Danger is advised when taking acid blocking drugs, firstly do not take for over 6 weeks consecutively. Secondly, these pills function by blocking acid, which could lead to imbalances like bacterial, fungal growth, digestion of proteins, inactivation of enzymes in the small intestine and mal-absorption of nutrients like calcium, magnesium, and b-12.
