OTC heartburn antacid products like gaviscon, zantac etc(the list is endless)….work to reduce to amount of acid the stomach produces. This is on the assumption that you have too much acid, this causes the heartburn/acid pain….so reduce the acid to reduce the pain! Right? It may be right for some, but for me it was just plain wrong!

Well….after 9 years of misery…..9 years of taking the wrong drugs…. I discovered this is exactly the opposite of what I need. I need more acid in my stomach. My stomach needs more acid to digest the food I eat, not less.

The stomach is designed to be acidic. The acid digests the food I eat. The normal situation for stomachs is that they are an acidic environment. It is the natural state to be acidic. Not the other was round.

My heartburn was a complete and utter nightmare; I mean it really screwed up my life style big time. It really was 24/7.

My cure was two fold:

1) Diet. I stopped eating wheat and dairy, plus some others too, but the wheat and dairy was the big no-no for me.
2) Apple cider vinegar. Whenever I get heartburn now I drink a small amount of ACV and within 10 mins it is completely gone.

In two weeks these simple measures cured me.

9 years I suffered in ignorance. 9 years my dumbass Doctors told me exactly the wrong thing.
