Many of us overweight and out of shape people in middle age suffer from various digestive disorders. Living with acid reflux, heartburn, hiatal hernia, problems with elimination and other disorders can prematurely age you, make you sick, and make you feel years older than you are. Smaller meals, avoidance of triggers like alcohol, spicy food, caffeine can help somewhat.
The ultimate choice for many of us is constantly taking over the counter medications like Mylanta, Tums, Zantac and Pepsid. This can get pretty expensive and doesn't always work consistently. Acid reflux remains one of the most common diseases in the United States.
Another alternative is the use of prescription drugs.
The vast majority of prescription drugs, not just those aimed at treating heartburn, can severely damage your delicate natural internal balance, interfere with liver function, build up toxins in your body, slow down your metabolism and lead to serious side effects. PPI drugs have recently been linked to Osteoporosis (bone loss). Additionally, taking more than one medication in many cases results in serious reactions between the different drugs as one drug can change or even worse, enhance the effect of the other drug. This can lead to harmful consequences.
It is well known that Drugs like Prilosec, Prevacid or Nexium aimed at treating acid reflux are to be taken for a period of no more than 8 weeks. The reason for that is that these drugs if taken for longer periods can actually stimulate your stomach to produce extra amounts of acid.
Antacids such as Tums, Pepcid, Zantac, and Rolaids deal with the symptoms of acid reflux (and not all that well) and not with the underlying cause, Moreover, breaking up the acid in the stomach can eventually make your heartburn worse, since stomach acid helps us absorb nutrients and is the first line of defense against candida (which can lead to acid reflux and heartburn).
It doesn't matter what type of heartburn you have. Whether you suffer from: Acid Reflux Disease (GERD), Hiatal Hernia, Gastritis, the outcome is the same........losing weight is critical and if you don't want to take drugs for the rest of your life, you must explore alternative and natural solutions.
