Acid Indigestion
The Vinegar Solution

Most people, when they hear the term acid indigestion, immediately think you are referring to an excess of acid in your stomach.

With that in mind, the next logical course of action is to reach for the antacid pills to calm it down.

This is a common mistake which, if taken repeatedly could lead to some very serious health consequences.

Add Acid NOT AntAcid

You may be surprised to hear that Indigestion is often caused by a lack of acid in your stomach rather than an excess.

In fact, it has been my experience that a lack of acid in the stomach is much more common than too much.

Why is this? Consider the following.

According to Wikipedia, the common causes of acid indigestion are:

• eating too many fatty foods
• eating too much spicy foods
• drinking too much alcohol
• drinking too much caffeine
• smoking

Are there excess amounts of acids in these foods or drink? If not then where does all the excess acid come from to cause you so much discomfort? Is there really an excess of stomach acid?

Maybe we are looking at this the wrong way. If an excess of stomach acid is not causing your acid indigestion ...

What is Really Happening?

If your body is not producing enough acid in your stomach, the food you just ate is not processed the way it should be.

Your body's answer? Send it back.

Some of this partially digested food goes back up your esophagus. Mixed in with this undigested food are the acids produced in your stomach. These acids do not belong there and will irritate the lining of your esophagus leading to the pain that you are experiencing.

Because acid caused your pain, you reach for "over the counter" antacids to neutralize it. Problem solved right? Your pain is gone, at least temporarily.

The problem with this course of action is, like many traditional remedies you buy in the store, an antacid deals with the symptom not the underlying problem.

If you re-read my first sentence you will see that this situation started with "not enough acid in your stomach". - But what did you just do??

The antacid you just took only disguised the original problem and its prolonged use will likely create more serious problems down the road.

The truth is most indigestion occurs when your body is unable to generate enough acid to process the foods you eat so you need to supplement acid from other sources.

Here is a statement most people have a lot of problem “swallowing”.

The easiest way to relieve your symptoms
