Hey, have you had bouts of heartburn… (which is caused by having too much acid in your stomach) ? Did you end up grabbing the Tums or another antacid???

I have a friend who was telling me about her time in school and had problems with heartburn because She wasn’t eating at odd times and was forgetting to eat when she had to meet deadlines. She carried a bottle of antacids inside her bag and oftentimes had to give them out to her friends because they had the same problem!! She hated that stabbing feeling in her tummy. And then next thing you know, she was having a headache, nauseous and when stuff did go so bad, I found myself curling into a ball from the pain.

Long term use can do a lot of damage!

Our stomach acid has been designed to break down food AND keep the bacteria in your gut balanced.

Antacids, when used long term, could prevent both of these from happening, not only that but also promote the overgrowth of bad bacteria.

Long term use of antacids often causes a LEAKY GUT.

This sounds really gross… because it is… but when you have a leaky gut, bad bacteria can get into your bloodstream. This will cause inflammation throughout your body.

Quick story time! A patient of ours came in with complaints of arthritis. Her hands and shoulder were always painful from the hours and hours of baking and prepping, being the sole baker in her shop. On top of that, her hands were always exposed to changes in temperatures and her shoulders were so puffy from carrying boxes and boxes of ingredients.

She was shocked that when we took her detailed history, she was actually also showing signs of a leaky gut and she never thought before that it also contributed to her joint inflammation. She initially thought that it was just physical wear and tear. We then uncovered that she has been having problems with heartburn and has been taking tons of antacids for the last two years. With our holistic approach, when we fixed her leaky gut… her inflammation also disappeared.

I hope this isn’t happening with you, but if it is, let’s chat about it.

To your awesome health,
