Some Sufferers Really Do Have Excess Stomach Acid
Health Alert Dr Bruce West MD Vol 25 issue 5

While the great, great majority of acid Reflux and heartburn sufferers have too little stomach acid, some folks do produce too much acid. You can determine if this is your case simply and without invasive medical testing that would cost thousands of dollars. Just perform the Zypan Test by taking I to 3 Zypan tablets with your meals. If your stomach burning gets worse, then you either have too much stomach acid, or your diaphragm is weak and is allowing stomach acid contents to reflux back up into your esophagus. |

A weak diaphragm sphincter that allows stomach acid to bum your esophagus is extremely common This condition is most often referred to as a hiatal hernia. It alone is often the entire cause of acid reflux and heartburn. If your problems are worse lying down, bending over, at night, or if your heart "pounds and flip-flops" at night, suspect hiatal hernia. You can effectively have this treated, or even correct it yourself at home with the right therapy.
If you do not have a hiatal hernia, and the Zypan Test shows that you have excess acid, you can still get relief without life-long antacids by treating the cause of your problem. An over-stimulated vagus nerve is a major cause of excess acid.
Three major causes of a hyper–stimulated vagus nerve are a hiatal hernia, a deficiency of alkaline minerals, and chronic stress. In this case, begin by taking 2, to 3 organically Bound Mineral tablets from Standard Process with each meal to collect the alkaline mineral deficiency. Continue with this dose for 3 to 4 months while you practice deep breathing to relieve chronic stress.
During this time you can also use DigestTract for temporary relief. Just take 2 to 3 capsules with each meal temporarily until your mineral reserves are restored and you have reduced your chronic stress. And remember, most reflux and heartburn is caused by a lack of stomach acids But no matter what the cause of the problem, these are treatments that will allow you to cure your problem–-what a concept! As you rebuild your acid-producing capacity, resolve your mineral deficiency, and reduce stress, you will need fewer and fewer supplements. And after 8 to 18 months, your condition will be a memory.
