Customer Review: Cured my chronic heartburn
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm 29 yrs old & have been on PPI's for over 3 years. My primary and G.I. Dr.'s had no idea why I had chronic heartburn. I decided to try quitting my daily 40mg's Omeprazole using apple cider vinegar. There's a theory that the Lower esophageal sphincter (LES) is a ph sensitive valve which closes tighter as the PH of the stomach lowers. By drinking ACV when you have heartburn, the ph lowers drastically and the LES shuts tight thus preventing acid from entering the esophagus. Well, this completely worked for me. The problem is I was drinking about 1/2 cup of barely diluted ACV per day which burns like whiskey going down and is bad for tooth enamel.
I read the book "why stomach acid is good for you" by Jonathan Wright & Lane Lenard which is required reading for heartburn/gastric sufferers. It appears that most people get chronic heartburn and a myriad of other gastric disorders because of insufficient acid production. This flies in the face of the medical establishment whom say the problem is too much acid. Before I switched from ACV to Betaine HCL, I visited both my primary DR. who then referred me to my G.I. Dr. They both said the following, "I do not recommend you take that" (betaine hcl). They did not tell me why & they never heard of the supplement.
Because the ACV worked pretty well, and because the more acid (vinegar) I would ingest the less heartburn I would feel, I disobeyed my Doctors orders. I bought the HCL and took it as outlined in the book above. For "Nexium quality" hearburn relief and optimal digestion I need 4 pills during every meal. The label says one per meal but it all depends on how much acid you need. Again, gotta read the book. I took my last omeprazole more than a month ago, I no longer drink vinegar and am heartburn free.
This product has been a complete miracle for me. Granted, I have to take the pills, but it's much better supplementing a substance your body is not producing enough off than to take some pharmaceutical that does something completely unnatural (turns off your gastric acid secretion by over 90%). I have a tremendous amount of energy now, I need less sleep, I'm not as hungry. I am completely amazed that all I needed was a little more stomach acid.
I have no idea why Dr.'s don't know about Betaine HCL & low stomach acid. Stomach acid secretion sounds so fundamental and they just completely ignore it, it's crazy. Anyway, highly recommend the product.
