my daughter has given me this book to read, its called "Why Stomach Acid is good for You" Natural relief from Heartburn, Indigestion, Reflux & GERD

I am skeptical about it, coz I have been on and off the PPI'S and the only way I could actually eat any food is if I take my PPI'S.

I would like to hear from people who have read this book, people who have been on PPI'S for a long time, and also just peoples opinion on this Stomach Acid, are we destroying all the essential stomach acid, that we need to process good digestion?

would love to hear from you!

    It is great to have such a wealth of thoroughly researched intelligent and information responses, it does give some comfort that we are getting the best intellegent advice and knowledge passed through the forum.  I agree with those of you that this information is on many occasions better than we are able to extract from  our own health practitioners.

    regards

      You are just so right Larraine! One gastronsays I have barrets and another 3 months later says he has never seen such a healthy looking pink throat. One says I have an ulcer and the other a 5 cm growth. No wonder we are all seeking the answers independantly.

    I take Vitamin B1 which I think helps the muscles that are meant to keep the food down.
