Is Your Stomach Bloating From Enzyme or Gastric Stomach Acid Insufficiency?
There are two functional causes for heartburn, gerds, indigestion and stomach bloating that need to be talked about in more detail. Your problems can stem from either a lack of enzymes or a lack of proper gastric stomach acid. Here’s a good way to know which one you may be deficient in.
If you have heartburn, stomach acid reflux, abdominal bloating, stomach discomfort and gas that occur within the first 15 to 30 minutes after you eat, the cause is likely low gastric stomach acid secretions. If these affects happen after 45 minutes, the cause could be a lack of sufficient enzymes.
Gastric stomach acid or hydrochloric acid (HCL), can be taken as a supplement at mealtime. Begin slowly with about 600 mg. at one of your large meals. If it does not aggravate your symptoms, take 2 at the next large meal and so on until you feel a warmth in your stomach. At that point you know you can back off one tablet and know that whatever dose your at, will be correct for you. Of course take smaller doses at smaller meals.
You can also try digestive enzymes. These actually help a lot of people since most foods we eat are cooked and the enzymes are destroyed at any temperature over 120 degrees. Digestive enzymes are best taken from multi-enzyme vegetarian sources. Look for supplements that contain bomelain and papaya these are protein digesting enzymes. Follow the label for correct dosage.
Symptoms of Acid Relux
Contrary to what you will hear from the mainstream medical community, acid reflux is not caused by eating things like tomatoes, spicy food or peppermint, or worse yet, that there is no cause–it’s a “medical mystery.”
Wrong.
The primary cause of acid reflux is overproduction of acid in the stomach due to eating acid-forming and poorly combined, foods.
When you eat foods that don’t digest well together, your stomach overproduces acid trying to get the job done. All that acid has to go somewhere, and that somewhere is usually up…especially at night when you’re trying to sleep.
The symptoms of acid reflux consist of a burning sensation that radiates up from the stomach to the chest and throat. Heartburn(acid reflux) is most likely to occur in connection with the following activities:
- After a heavy meal.
- Bending over.
- Lifting.
- Lying down, particularly on the back.
But when you eat foods that digest easily together there is no overproduction of acid. Your foods pass through the stomach and into the intestines nice and easily like they should, and you are not left with a pool of acid and feeling like a fire-breathing dragon afterwards.
Shelly and thousands of others have experienced lightning fast relief from acid reflux, and have said bye-bye to medications for good.
Here’s Shelly’s story:
First let me say I have NEVER written a testimonial for anything. Because I have never tried anything that worked like the advertisement claimed…until NOW.
I always figured the people were getting paid for their testimonials anyway so I didn’t believe them. But at least as far as this testimonial goes I am NOT getting paid to tell my story.
I felt I should write this because I have never experienced anything like this. I was taking 2 medications a least twice a day, and Rolaids inbetween. I had reflux so bad I had to sleep with the head of my bed elevated.
I don’t remember how I came across Great Taste No Pain to be honest with you, but I am so glad I did. I downloaded the Pain-Free in 1 day test drive and thought “Yuck–I don’t want to eat any of this.” But I thought what if this
really works, so I ordered the program. And what a deal!
I tried the recipes and they are wonderful! I love the sandwiches suggestions, and that was one of the things I said “yuck” to!
I had such a hard time believing that something as simple as changing the foods you combine together could stop reflux and heartburn, that I experimented for a month and a half before I decided to write this. I would go a few days eating the “Pain Free” way and think, “OK I’m better now so
I can eat whatever.” Wrong!!
Now (by choice) 99 % of the time I eat “Pain Free.” I still “cheat” 2-3 times per week, and yes that does require a anti-acid at times, but not always. But that is soooo much better than before!! I can’t say THANK YOU enough.
I would also like to add for all you people like me that are skeptical of something so simple, just try it. I think you will be as impressed as I am.
And pain free.
Thank you Sincerely,
Shelly Lindsey
