If youāve ever felt that burning sensation creeping up your chest, chances are youāve been told itās because of too much acid. Makes sense, right? More acid = more burn? š„
Well⦠not exactly.
Surprisingly, many people with acid reflux actually have too little stomach acid! Hereās why thatās a problem:
šø Low stomach acid = food doesnāt break down properly.
šø Undigested food ferments, creating gas and pressure.
šø That pressure pushes stomach contents upāleading to reflux!
So instead of drowning out the acid with antacids, the real fix might be helping digestion work better in the first place! š¤Æ
Simple swaps that might help:
ā Eating smaller meals to reduce stomach pressure.
ā Adding digestive-supporting foods like ginger or apple cider vinegar.
ā Chewing food really well (seriously, it helps!).
šØ Struggling with reflux and tired of just masking symptoms?
