Does anyone recall ? Supplement taken to stop stomach acid production ( nightime)

[Hbone]

My dumb ass didn't write it down ...works great

my question is this how do you know its overproduction if you have heart burn 99% of the time its too little acid, foods sits, fermits and sends what little acid there is back up the windpipe. to fix it you actually add HCL.

That said if it is over production (highly unlikely) prefer short term pepcid ac since its not a PPI

Sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) ?

Most sulfates actually make stomach acid worse.

Calcium carbonate or magnesium hydroxide would help neutralize it.

I use Omeprazole. Works great.

That is what my gut doc recommended.

There is also something called Prilosec but I think it might just be a rebranding same. I dunno.

Try Dr. Ohira’s professional formula prebiotics. This product was originally introduced her by @danieltx. Great product for gut health!

Crazy cheap too. Last time I bought some generic at Costco for $15 for 3 bottles

As one already wrote, you need to be sure that its to much acid, to low acid gives the same sides as to much, i thought for years i was overproducing acid but actually my stomach acid was low and that was giving me big issues.

Copied but could be of interest



TLDR? jog on and enjoy your acid reflux, everything below is relevant to fixing your problem without medication that has nasty long term side effects

So you spicy bastards

for the last 6 months I've suffered from acid reflux that was brought on by a tren cycle and then my weight and diet compounded it but I have now fixed it with no meds.

At first I went the 'obvious' route of taking rennie when it flared up thinking it'll pass, it didn't so i turned to a more long term option that 'fixes' the issue rather than masks it, a proton pump inhibitor or as some of you might know it as omeprazole

problem solved.. nope, the acid reflux went but recent data and study has linked PPI drugs to stomach cancer as well as bone fractures, B12 deficiency and gut infections

they tested 60,000 people and about 150 developed stomach cancer as a direct result of their omeprazole use so the odds are low but with the other long term sides being far more common I would say it's a good reason to try and not take PPI's particularly after the next point I'm going to make about your acid reflux..

in the VAST majority of case in those that don't have hiatal hernias acid reflux is cause by an under production of stomach acid not an over production so PPI's are actually exacerbating the problem

I first questioned the effectiveness of omeprazole when I was taking it and noticing some insane bloat due to the stomach struggling to digest the food

I then started reading up and watching videos which to my surprise showed that it is almost always an under production of stomach acid causing acid reflux

the reason being is the food hits your stomach and stomach acid is squirted over it but not enough to 'lower' the food in your stomach which means there is acid sitting on top of it close to the esophagial sphincter and splashing through.

so how do you fix this?

* clean your diet up, processed foods and grains are a common cause of digestion issues
* drop all antacids and PPI's
* start drinking 250ml of kefir morning and night also when you are experiencing acid reflux (this tastes like s**t so neck it fast!)
* start taking apple cider vinegar first thing in the morning, 1-2 tablespoonfuls
* if you are eating a lot of food / are struggling to digest what you are eating then get yourself a digestive enzyme, the best I've used is lindens heal nutrition digestive enzymes daily

the above will cure the majority of cases but if not you may have to drop some body weight and stop eating 2 hours before you go to bed to decrease total intra abdominal pressure and allow your digestive system some down time, you can also increase the 250ml of kefir to having it with each meal, this is just until the problem is solved then you can slowly start reducing it again to a morning, night and flare up protocol

trust me on this, I was apprehensive as I was experiencing acid reflux and the thought of actively trying to increase my stomach acid made me feel sick but I assure you in the vast majority of cases doing all of the above WILL work

there is one caveat, if you are running tren or orals then just stick with the PPI's for the duration of your cycle then run the above, you can try the above first but in that scenario you may struggle in which case use the PPI's until you come off as acid reflux can progress into GERD and then your life truly will be miserable and you are at risk of developing throat cancer.

Pepcid AC

Hey, my wife is going to Costco in about 30 minutes so I will have her pick up a bottle. I get them free from CVS, but a bottle would be much much better than the foil wrapped ones. Tx,

Lansoprazole and omeprazole both work great

Famotidine… zantac 360

Doc had me on protonix and i started feeling lethargic and my legs started hurting

I tried the baking soda challenge where u drink ¼ tsp in water and see how long it takes u to burp… 3-5 min and u have enough acid… i think i maybe burped one time…

So i beed to do the hcl test and see how long it takes to feel the warmth or burn and go from there

I use to eat at night and any red sauces eaten thru the day would also cause me to wake up choking to death on stomach acid…
