I have taken omeprazole for many years - started it to fix a hiatal hernia and just kept taking it. I tried to quit a couple years ago and got horrible acid reflux, doc told me it was backlash reaction and that I should go back to taking the omeprazole. May try your trick.
For a long time, Modern Medicine has been treating the symptoms of disease and not treating the cause.
The second your tongue touches food, it signals the components of your digestive system to send the proper chemicals to the stomach to dissolve the food that is on it’s way.
What happens when the food is artificially flavored and not the actual ‘food product’ that it is imitating ?
Doctors also sell you on pills that REDUCE the ACID going into your stomach, to get rid of the acid indigestion.
This is the opposite of what you should do. The cause is the lack of acid. And the ‘right’ acid. A jigger of vinegar can solve most acid indigestion.
My gastroenterologist told me a long time ago, not to eat anything after 8 p.m., because the bulk of the acid produced in your stomach is done while you sleep. Bananas help acid reflux, but there is a lot of potassium in them. I like bananas but can’t eat them regularly, because they raise my potassium level too high.
Omeprazole and its like also reduce absorption of good things that your body should be getting. Long term use is not recommended. Some side effects: low iron, low magnesium, low B12 levels.
I second the use of apple cider vinegar. Sounds counterintuitive but it works.
