Actually many people who suffer digestive problems often have low acid caused by taking too much antacids and PPIs such as nexium. That's why they have issues digesting foods such as veggies. Along with low acid bacteria can flourish and cause problems. It becomes a viscous circle of stomach pain and going to the doctors for expensive tablets

Apple cider vinegar has been used for a long time to treat digestive issues. It is known as a cure all. It is made from fermented apples and contains what they call the 'mother earth'. A spoon mixed with some water and drink with a straw first thing in the morning will do you wonders. It will replenish the low acid and also because it is fermented it will have lots of good bacteria.

What have you got to lose if you try? More tablets? More cutting out this and that food. More doctor visits.

i am curious why u drink with a straw?

seems like you are already eating right.

if you want traditional chinese medicine, i can refer you to my sinsei who, most of the time, can explain the cause and why to your health issue. the only prerequisite is to listen with open mind. i consulted him when neurologist cannot solve my issue, but this sinsei solved it in a month. and i'm not advertising him, just sharing coz i can imagine the worry u r going through.

probiotics help my mother who has GI problems too. have u tried?

Hi there,

I need some help and suggestions for my health issue. For months, my appetite has been poor and my stomach feels tight, hardened, swollen and general discomfort. Sometimes, I'll get excess saliva, reflux, head palpitation, pain in the chest and anxiety feeling.

I've seen GI specialists and done endoscopy. They did not find any structural issues (bacteria, lesion, bleeding, ulcer, dysplasia, cancer) and just dismissed me as a stress-related case.  :confused:

My doctors' medications (acid suppressant, antacid, gas & bloating, abdominal pain) for me doesn't seem to help even after months.

My stomach biopsy states 'chronic follicular gastritis of moderate severity'. Could my symptoms be due to gastritis?

Is there any supplements or alternative treatments that you would recommend?
