Stomach Acid Rebounds When Ulcer Bug Is Cleared Were you told you had GERD? That is Gastro-Esophogeal Reflux Disease. Do you have an acid stomach? Indigestion? Are you taking an acid blocker? Zantac, Tagamet, Prilosec, Pepcid? Here's some truth about this "disease" and these medications that's pretty hard to stomach! Most people that have these symptoms do not have high stomach acid when measured by a machine that tests stomach acid. They have too little acid! And because they have too little acid, the valve at the top of the stomach does not close properly and stomach juices can back up into the esophagus and produce inflammation there. In these circumstances, giving someone supplemental stomach acid, in the form of Betaine HCL can increase the stomach acid to normal and cause the valve to close properly and the GERD will go away. Also when there is too little acid being produced in the stomach, a bacteria called H Pylori can sometimes grow there and cause an ulcerated stomach. Usually, when the acid level of the stomach is normal, this bacteria cannot survive there and cannot cause infection. Normal medical treatment for this condition is to take multiple antibiotics to kill the bacteria and an acid blocker like one of the medications listed above. Now we find out that when you take an acid blocker along with the antibiotic for H-Pylori, and then you try to stop the medications,, we learn that the body will overproduce stomach acid! So you have to continue the medication! "Doctor, when I stop the acid blocker medicine, my acid stomach comes back!" "Sorry, dear patient, it was the drug that suppressed it and now we can't take you off the drug because it will rebound up too high and give you stomach pain again. We'll just have to keep you on for a few more months." "Ok, Doc, whatever you say." Baa Baaa. (Llike the sound a sheep makes when it agrees). The full solution is not to take drugs for your "acid stomach" or your H-Pylori. Tune in next week for my solution to this problem. For a great handbook on what to do, read "No More Heartburn", by Dr. Sherry Rogers, MD available at www.prestigepublishing.com or www.LifeworksWellnessCenter.com, or go to www.acam.org for an alternative physician to help you with a non drug solution to gastric distress. Now a study has confirmed what some doctors have suspected -- that once H-Pylori has been cleared, the stomach produces excess amounts of acid for at least two months after treatment with Prilosec.
