As most likely the same with you, the idea of squelching any process of our normal function is contradictory to our education.
With over the counter antacids or prescription acid-blocking medications normal body function often ceases. Stomach acid, or hydrochloric acid, is there for a reason. The reduction of this essential body digestive agent it on a long-term basis can be detrimental to health. If television commercials for Tums, Prilosec, Zantac, are used as an indicator, stomach acid is portrayed as something to be eradicated completely. These over the counter and over prescribed band-aids do serve a purpose. They reduce acid in your stomach when you have heartburn. Unfortunately, it is now commonplace for doctors to prescribe long-term use of acid-blocking medications for heartburn. The diagnosis for their use is usually excess stomach acid, or hyperacidity, which does exist but is uncommon. It may also be prescribed during treatment of an ulcer but the use is usually limited to 6-8 weeks while the ulcer is healing. Low stomach acid, however, or hypochlorhydria, is very common, especially in the older population. Stomach acid lessens as we age and, surprisingly, the largest demographic using prescription acid-blocking medications are those 60 and over. The cost to our health can be devastating when you factor in why stomach acid is so important to our well-being. 3 Reasons Why Low Stomach Acid Hurts You:
