There’s a reason that we tend to lend toward natural approaches to ending your acid reflux. It’s because antacids only treat the symptoms. They don’t end the problem. In fact, once you start taking antacids, it’s likely you’re going to have to take more and more to received the same level of relief. In addition, they rob your body of vital nutrients.

The same is true of acid reflux drugs such as Prevacid, Prilosec, Aciphex, Protonix, and Nexium.

Your natural stomach pH level is 3.0 or less. Taking acid reflux drugs or antacids will raise your stomach pH above 3.0 and often maintain that high level. This high level causes the stomach to secrete additional acid and this additional acid interferes with your body’s ability to properly absorb vital amino acids, vitamins, and minerals.

Your stomach begins to create chemical combinations that affect the function of subsequent processes in the duodenum and colon.  It causes these body organs to malfunction and they fail to digest and absorb the nutrients from the food you ate.

This is why we suggest you first turn to natural solutions if you’re dealing with acid reflux.
