@A MyFibroTeam Member, you are absolutely correct. Most people don’t have enough acid, that’s why it pisses me off when these damn doctors hand out PPI’s and keep their patients on them for the rest of their life 😡 Anyone reading this that are taking PPI’s please read the damage they can do and how you can control your GERD naturally.

I heard about it today. Something will probably come back and bite us in the ass. Gentle hugs
Isn't that ranitidine?
@A MyFibroTeam Member, I think you may be right, that instead of too much acid we have too little stomach acid. The problem then is the reflux and how to deal with that in a natural non medication way. I decided to increase my acidity by including more citrus in my foods (fresh lime/lemon juice in my cooking), smaller potions and not laying down within an hour of eating. The thought of the cancer causing ingredients staying in my body forever is a tremendous deterrent
