      He only didn’t recommend it because he’s not a trained and professional doctor so therefore he can’t LEGALLY give that recommendation.
      Antacids are safe to take as long as you read the directions on the box!

      Cheers for the Video! Sorry for chiming in, I would love your opinion. Have you heard about - Iiyayloon Straightforward Interest (search on google)? It is a smashing one off guide for destroying your heartburn issues without the headache. Ive heard some incredible things about it and my good mate called Gray after many years got great success with it.

Have you considered - Iiyayloon Straightforward Interest (Have a quick look on google can't remember the place now)? It is a great one of a kind guide for destroying your heartburn issues minus the hard work. Ive heard some super things about it and my mate after a lifetime of fighting got astronomical results with it.

      Uh.. milk of magnesia is NOT an antacid!! It's the strongest laxative made. It doesn't sat antacid anywhere on the bottle lol. Hope people don't try this at home thinking it's a great cure for heartburn. It might neutralize the acid .. but this stuff makes you blast water out of your bowles like no other...

  • @TheEatmorDininghall
    @TheEatmorDininghall Před 8 lety +17

    Supposedly, a very acidic stomach is good for you. It helps kill bacteria and effectively digest food. Believe it or not, but heartburn and acid reflux occurs when your stomach acid is weak. When your stomach acid is weak, the flap that opens and closes between your stomach and esophagus stays open allowing that acid to get up and out of your stomach and causing that uncomfortable burn. Taking an antacid will make it feel better because it neutralizes it but then you are not ultimately solving the problem. However, if you drank a mixture of apple cider vinegar and water, this makes you stomach more acidic again allowing the flap to close between your stomach and esophagus, preventing the backflow of acid plus it helps you digest food better leading to less bloating and less discomfort.

    • @Dethmeister
      @Dethmeister Před 7 lety +1

      Yeah, I heard about the vinegar helping but not the flap thing. Why would it cause the flap to close?

      Because it is acidic, some food are acidic, another is neutral while some are alkaline.

      Well you have to consider dietary restrictions for that such as lactose intolerance. Also, fresh milk, if okay with your body type, is better with some water diluted rather than raw as that may leave you feeling sick.

    • @seninha12321
      @seninha12321 Před 9 lety +1

      Carl Nelson hello, sorry I thought you were only the uploader I would've phrased it differently. Anyway, spicy foods don't stimulate acid production in the stomach, greasy foods do. Also the main problem for what I know is not the acidity of the gastric juice but the valve between stomach and esophagus which gets irritated with spicy foods for example and doesn't work properly. Gastric juice than get's through it and corrodes the esophagus, this is acid reflux. 1:10 "you can visually see how it changes to a red even to a yellowish color" implying red comes first and then yellow when it's the other way around. Don't take my word for this though. I'm not a doctor I just saw a couple things that didn't make sense.
