These Work Better Than Antacids for Reflux, GERD & Heartburn

These Work Better Than Antacids for Reflux, GERD & Heartburn 

 

 
As you can imagine, I've had many a conversation with people about
their digestive issues and bathroom habits.

Let me tell you, they get pretty personal. I've had people describe their feces in such detail that I'm surprised they didn't give it a first name.
Or they practically list a chorus of songs they can play with their flatulence.
That's OK. I'm happy to help and need to know what's going on! :-)
But hands down, the #1 most common digestive problem out there is ACID REFLUX.
It's everywhere! You can't turn on the TV, open a magazine or surf the internet without seeing an ad for an acid reducer.
But I have a question...
If acid reducers are SO great and work SO well, why are there STILL so many people suffering from acid reflux? They sure aren't dealing with the cause of it, are they?
Let's take a little closer look at that question...and explore the three main culprits behind this digestive misery called acid reflux.
 

Acid reducers -- are they really magic?
The ads for acid reducers promise relief from heartburn and reflux--all you need to do is take one little pill a day.
Nice and simple!
Most people DO feel some relief when they first start using them, and they're lulled into thinking that they've found the magic answer.
But alas, eventually the magic stops.
Because while reducing or neutralizing stomach acid might initially seem to put out the flames of heartburn, at the same time it's opening up a Pandora's Box full of other issues that can make you feel WORSE--not better--and open you up to other health problems.
Let's shift now into...
The dark side of acid reducers
What acid reducer commercials fail to tell you is that stomach acid is a biological NEED--you MUST have it...in the proper balance of course.
You'd never know it by watching the Larry the Cable Guy, Cheryl Ladd or John Elway commercials, but here is what they're NOT telling you....
Reducing or crippling the acid in your stomach can lead to these major problems:
1- Destroyed digestion
Your body must have stomach acid to properly break down foods, most namely proteins. So when you eat protein, your stomach naturally secretes acid.
So far so good.
But then Z-A-P!
The acid gets shut down or weakened by the "magical drug."
Your stomach sees something's wrong and tries over and over to secrete more acid to get the digestive ball rolling again...but the "wonder pill" keeps shutting it down.
This process can go on for HOURS.
And eventually you're looking at MORE acid sloshing around in your stomach to come rising up your throat--not LESS!
Plus, when your digestion is ruined, you can get trouble further down the road too--namely, gas, bloating, constipation and diarrhea.
Those are all listed as side effects on most acid medication boxes and now you know why.
 

2- Dangerous deficiency
The vitamin B12 in your foods is bound to little proteins that must be "shaved off" before the B12 can be absorbed.
So when your stomach acid is stopped by the "super acid reducer," B12 cannot be "released" from the protein like it needs to be in order for your body to absorb it!
Over time this can result in vitamin B12 deficiency, which can lead to a whole host of other health issues including memory problems, depression, low energy and a weak immune system.
 

3- Pooped-out protection
One of the vital functions of stomach acid is to destroy dangerous toxins or pathogens (like salmonella and E. coli) you might take in with your food.
Without the protection of properly working stomach acid, you are basically defenseless against many dangerous microbes in your food.
Have a clear path between you and the bathroom, my friend!
 

4- Imbalanced intestinal inhabitants
As a consequence of poor digestion and the waste buildup that typically results from it, your intestinal flora balance can be thrown completely out of whack by antacid use.
Not only does this compromise your immune system and make you more susceptible to every cold and bug around, but it messes up your digestion even MORE because the friendly bacteria in your gut help to digest certain starches and fibers.
And that means MORE gas and bloating.
 

The real culprits
Now that you've probably gotten the idea that acid reducers aren't the wonder drug they're purported to be, let's look at the 3 REAL culprits behind acid reflux and what can be done about them.
 

Solution #1: Food
It never ceases to amaze me how people load up on acid-creating foods and meals that are next-to-impossible to digest, day in and day out, then wonder why they have a 4-alarm fire in their chest.
Really?! That's like being surprised that your car died after you put a banana in the gas tank.
It's time to face facts, all you acid reflux sufferers. YOUR DIET is far and away THE MAIN CAUSE of your misery. Period.
Accept it, stop making excuses and do something about it!
Like changing your diet to include more alkalinizing foods and easier to digest meals.
When you eat foods that are more alkaline to your body and meals that are easier for your system to break down, your body says thank you and a whole new world can open up for you:
Imagine--easing the burping, belching or acid in your throat (or mouth!).
Imagine--less gas, bloating, flatulence or BM problems.
Imagine--reducing or eliminating your need for acid medications at all

This can happen for you when you follow the Great Taste No Pain program.
The GTNP manuals will show you step by step exactly what to do. They'll spell out what foods are naturally alkaline and which ones go well together in meals, as well as show you why eating this way works so well for everyone--including YOU.
Nice and easy.
And it's delicious too--I didn't skimp on the "Great Taste" part! Just wait until you try my spaghetti sauce, soups, shrimp scampi and more!
Note: if you have gluten challenges, Great Taste No Gluten is for you instead.
 

Solution #2: Enzymes
If you've eaten hard to digest foods and meals for a long time, you have expended WAAYY more digestive enzymes than Nature intended you to.
As a result, your body's ability to produce adequate enzymes may be greatly reduced...and this can be a major contributing factor to poor digestion and acid reflux!
Plus, as we age, our bodies' ability to produce enzymes naturally decreases.
If you suspect low enzymes are a concern for you, or have out and out been told you're low in stomach acid, then Digestizol Max is your ticket for getting the help you need.
Digestizol Max's 14 plant-derived enzymes and 5 herbal soothers can help give your body a boost to keep your digestion nice and smooth -- and help make acid reflux, GERD and heartburn a thing of the past for you.

Solution #3: Chill more
Stress is also a common cause of ruined digestion and acid reflux.
You see, digestion is a parasympathetic process, meaning your body must be in a relaxed, non-stressed state for it to be accomplished efficiently.
Eating in a relaxed state also encourages you to eat slower, which means that your body can recognize satiety before you overeat.
But if you instead eat when your sympathetic nervous system is in gear (such as when you're working, driving, emotionally upset, stressed, rushing, etc.) that can have a devastating impact on your digestion and lead to reflux.
So slow down and relax! Avoid eating in a stressed state. Make time for meals and don't eat on the run.
And if stress is an ongoing issue for you, it's time to take a look at ways to reduce the stress in your life. There are many helpful suggestions, programs and exercise options out there.
 

Although acid reflux is common, it's no mystery, my friend.

And when you address the common culprits behind YOUR burning chest, you can see a whole new world open up for you...

...quite possibly a world WITHOUT acid reducers in the near future.
Wouldn't that be nice?

Hi Sherry,
I just wanted to share the success I have experienced after being on Great Taste No Pain for only a month.
I was very skeptical at first after being on EVERY prescription medication out there for acid reflux and stomach problems. In addition to two prescriptions I took twice a day and over the counter medications, which did nothing, I am now on one prescription, which I am about ready to totally quit!
That is how good I feel doing your plan.
I keep thinking to myself....it could not really be this easy, but yet it continues to work for me day after day!
I recently came back from a two week vacation and I thought it was going to be difficult following this plan while I was away and it wasn't. I did have a couple of minor lapses (eating a bad meal combination), but felt no ill results from it and now that I am back home, I am strictly following the plan again.
I am enjoying your delicious recipes, I am enjoying cooking again, and most of all, I am enjoying EATING again. Who doesn't love a delicious meal?
And as long as I stick to the combining, I can eat as much as I want and things I have not had in YEARS! And the good thing is, even though I am eating more than I have in years, I am not gaining weight as you would think, but maintaining my weight with little to no effort.
I have recommended the plan to many people already. Some are skeptics, but some have already ordered your books.
I have no doubt if I can keep this up that I will be totally off the medications in a very short time and after 12 years of agony and no help from my doctors or GI specialist, this is like a miracle for me.
So thank you so much for your continued work with this and the letters you send out. I enjoy reading every single one of them.
