i wanted to post about this real quick. i've been under chronic stress for a long time for a number of reasons i wont go too in detail with. but i know the stress has built up acid in my gut and i'm assuming it's all the time. last year i had a weird thing happen. i had a very acute stressor and i felt something change in my stomach. i know the stress caused my irritable bowel syndrome symptoms that i had never had before. it was horrible. this was right before i ended up going into the hospital for depression and hopelessness.

also, that even made the candida worse. so maybe acidosis makes candida thrive or something. but months passed and the IBS calmed down but never went away fully. i can still feel some things like some pains and other things. it's hard to describe the symptoms. but last week i was stressed out bad because i'm trying to get a car. well i got my hopes up and was trying to take control of the situation but couldn't. the car didn't go through so i was stressed as hell for nothing. one thing that makes it so hard for me is OCD. i'm always worrying about something.

well last night i had a really upset stomach. it was like burning in my chest and stomach area. it was really really bad and i felt like i had to puke and even gagged myself to try and get relief but couldn't throw up. i took this cheap acid indigestion stuff and it did make it better. tonight i started to get the same feeling and i don't know if it is gonna come all the way like last night though.

has anyone had experience with this? i met this guy in the hospital who told me he has pre-cancerous spores or something like that in his stomach from acid and stress. he said he ended up in the hospital numerous times in extreme pain and i'm not sure if they did surgery or not. but he said it was from stress and he had to change his diet.

i don't wanna get that cuz i am already going through so much. with the ocd it's like i can't help it. it's been there ever since i've been born and i can remember anxiety at a young age vividly. i know it's because of the metals were present from birth congenitally. anyways, if someone has had similar it would be nice to hear about it. i'm scared i'm gonna get cancer now because i can't stop my thoughts and stress. my body can't deal with jack.

what is a easy way to combat acidic stomach?

shawn, i've heard reflux can be a liver thing. liver plugged with toxins and this puts some pressure on the stoach... or it could be acidic bile (from all the toxins in the bile) sitting in your small intestine and backfloating and giving you heartburn. check your toungue when u get this if its isnt yellow coated or anthing. if it is, it's bile in the small intestine.

and liver is said to be the seat of emtions and with all these toxins, it could be why it's corelared with your anxiety.

i'd try liver hearbs and fiber, preferably grinned flaxseeds shake, it can settle the stomach and absorb any bile toxins in the intestine.

oh and neever use those antiacid things. they contain ALUMINUM. if u wanna try an alternative to this, just take a teaspoon or less of baking soda in a glass f water, this neutralizes the acids.

Hi Shawn
i have troubles with my stomach and heartburn since I was about 18 years old and I also have ocd tendencies. I worry about every thing little or small and is very hard to stop that feeling. I have been working on it though. Last year before I finished getting amalgams out I discovered I had H-pylori and the natural doc I was going to recomenned licorace pills. Thay are called DGL. I have taken every thing on the market along with living on rolaids for years and sometimes going through a pack a night. I also have IBS and it can flare up at any time with just a minor upset. The reason I think this happens is because the liver gets backed up with all the metals and toxins and can't handle the total load so it makes a way and dumps stuff where it can with intentions of clearing it later but still handling the heavy load never gets to it. In essence we get problems like acid indegestion,IBS,ulcers,even more like female problems,prostrate problems etc... Here is a link on liver congestion:

this might help give you some clues on what is causing your stomach problems. I would definately eat whole natural foods and that will make it easier for you to cope with. Also castor oil packs also help the liver I do them a lot. Here is a link on that:http://curezone.com/cures/castoroil.asp
Also oil pulling...I use virgin coconut oil it tastes better. oil pull will help with digestion here is a link for that:http://www.oilpulling.com/
I have tried all of this and it works takes a little time but well worth the effort.
The DGL is the best I have ever taken at stopping the heartburn,sick stomach, and pain. A dr I went thought I was crazy because I would not give up my DGL and let him prescribe something for me....Ha I did not need that bullet. One other thing I take is acid ease it has marshmellow root and slippery elm and also helps me too. Enzymes will also help you digest easier and faster. I hope some of this helps and if you don't like lilicorace I did not either so I just pop it in get a sip of water chew it fast and get it down. I like it now but I have been taking it a year. Works like a charm. I would not leave home without it. LOL Hope you feel better soon. Try really hard to lower your stress level it is very important that you do that will also help you a lot.

Hi shawn,i had terrible acid before i went on the candida diet now its gone. I worry about cancer all the time,it is part of my illness to worry about something else that might happen to me, i usually get these feelings when i am feeling anxious (mercury).
The candida diet alkalises the body over time, this is what you need,it will also keep the liver good, and basically it is anti cancer too.
Anyway i dont know where i would be if i wasnt on it,i remember the acid ruling my life at one point, it was scary.

Acid indigestion/heartburn was a nightmare for me for a good 10 years. I tried every pill know to man, I had camera’s stuff down my throat and even more, even stronger pills rammed down me neck and I still had heartburn 24/7. Towards the end I had heartburn 24 hours a day 7 days a week 365 days a year. I popped multiple pills all the time. It ruled my life; any minor wrong food eaten or wrong posture resulted in 7-10 days of even worse digestive trouble. For a long time it was enemy number one for me (along with my bad back) and I would have paid huge sums of money to be rid of it. I was desperate and no amount of money helped.

My doctors said I would be taking the pills forever and that I should learn to live with the pain and discomfort. It was tough $hit basically and I was sent on my way….bloody doctors….if only I had not seen them, if only I had discovered alternative health earlier in my life…..would have saved me a lot of pain & suffering.

Eventually a NP very calmly suggested it was my diet. He did a few tests that showed me I was intolerant to certain foods. Of course I did not believe him, but I was desperate, past caring and I was willing to try anything to stop in chronic digestive nightmare.

So I stopped eating all wheat, all dairy, all processed foods incl all processed sugar. I had already given up booze a year before. It is very difficult to suddenly stop eating your normal food, but I wanted to try this weird idea from this NP. You must stop ALL of what you exclude…even minor amounts in food will bugger you up.

Remember now, for 10 years I was struggling with digestive problems. I had tried all the pills and potions and nothing made any difference…..nothing. I had heartburn 24/7 and nothing I did helped.

I did this strict diet for 2 weeks and stopped all the pills and in 2 weeks 90pct of all my digestive problems went away. I was 90pct cured in 2 weeks with a cleaned up diet.

I was 2 things at this point…..
1) I was ecstatically happy….we are talking big-time-over-the-moon-running-around-with-my-pants-on-my-head-happy. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dance.gif" alt="" /><img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dance.gif" alt="" /><img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dance.gif" alt="" />
2) unbelievably pissed off with my funking useless doctors…all that crap they had me doing…..the solution was so simple…..boy o boy was I pissed off at those %$^%£$&^$. This started my disrespect/disregard & contempt for all regular doctors. How could they have got it SO wrong? The solution was so so so easy. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /><img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /><img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /><img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />

I did some reading and learning about all those pills I was popping. Turns out they are made to reduce acid production in your stomach. This is on the assumption that acid indigestion/heartburn is TOO MUCH ACID in the digestive tract. Its logical, obviously, that if you have acid causing pain that this acid need to be neutralised and reduced…that will obviously cure the problem???? errrrrrrrrrm NO…..well turns out this is completely wrong. Completely arse about tit. The truth is that the stomach is naturally an acid environment and it needs MORE acid to function correctly. It needs more acid to digest the food I eat, so the pills actuallt make things worse and mask some of the symptoms....and they do lots of other nasty things too, but i will not bore you with that stuff.

As long as my diet is clean, fresh and I don’t eat anything man made…my digestion is “ok”. Not perfect….but the constant heartburn is completely gone and I consider my digestion significantly better than before. I get heartburn maybe 2 times per month and its easily control now anyway.

Now, when I get digestive problems I drink a finger of Apple cider vinegar with a glass of water. This gives me more acid so my digestion can work better………..end result no more heartburn.

The apple cidar vinegar needs to be organic and needs to have “mother” in it. “mother” is bacteria. Basically needs to be a bit cloudy….if the stuff is clear its been pasteurised and is dead and useless and will not do the job.

Good luck

P.s. This was early 2007, before I even knew about mercury, before any detoxing, before any amalgam removal….was my first success.

This book covers every possible digestive issue and every single solution involves eating real whole foods and avoiding man made junk.

Nicola :

ah...yeah...sorry...in the cold light of day....does seem a bit strange.....but ....it was a nightmare and i was very very happy i solved that problem so simply and easily....although avoiding all those foods was hardly easy....was infact very difficult to avoid them....but the result was well worth the effort.

2 weeks to solve a problem that was with me for 10 years!.......yes.....pants on me head happy.....<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
