#hijabihealers Tip #1: Stop eating antacids and start drinking apple cider vinegar. 5 REASONS TO STOP TAKING ANTACIDS AS A NATURAL CURE "~Decreased stomach acid impairs your ability to fully digest food. Undigested food enters the small intestine, setting the stage for small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), which causes gas, abdominal bloating, diarrhea, constipation, abdominal pain, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and fibromyalgia. ~Poorly digested food inhibits the absorption of vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients. Deficiencies in B vitamins increase homocysteine, which contributes to heart disease, dementia, and other chronic illnesses. Poor absorption of calcium and other minerals results in bone loss, increasing the risk of osteoporosis. PPIs have even been linked to anemia. ~Reduced stomach acid impairs the body’s ability to keep potentially harmful bacteria, such as H. pylori, in check. H. pylori may be beneficial when balanced with other intestinal microbes, but if it overpopulates the gut, it may cause inflammation that gives rise to acid reflux, gastric ulcers, and stomach cancer. ~Insufficient stomach acid hampers the stomach’s ability to fight foodborne pathogens, increasing the risk of food poisoning. ~To compensate for a reduction in stomach acid, the body may produce even more acid, particularly after you stop taking the medicine. This rebound effect may worsen symptoms over the long haul." By Scott J. Banks, Joe Kraynak, J. J.
