🤔 Myth or Fact? “Heartburn Means You Have Too Much Stomach Acid”

If you’ve ever felt that burning sensation creeping up your chest, chances are you’ve been told it’s because of too much acid. Makes sense, right? More acid = more burn? 🔥

Well… not exactly.

Surprisingly, many people with acid reflux actually have too little stomach acid! Here’s why that’s a problem:

🔸 Low stomach acid = food doesn’t break down properly.
🔸 Undigested food ferments, creating gas and pressure.
🔸 That pressure pushes stomach contents up—leading to reflux!

So instead of drowning out the acid with antacids, the real fix might be helping digestion work better in the first place! 🤯

Simple swaps that might help:
✔ Eating smaller meals to reduce stomach pressure.
✔ Adding digestive-supporting foods like ginger or apple cider vinegar.
✔ Chewing food really well (seriously, it helps!).
