GERD or acid reflux is one of the most misdiagnosed conditions in this country. The phrase acid reflux should not be used until it is proven that it actually exists. Reflux can be either acidic or alkaline. One of the most accurate ways to diagnose which digestive condition a patient has is with a Heidelberg pH diagnostic test.
The over production of Hydrochloric acid (HCL) is called Hyperchlorhydria. The under production of HCL is called Hypochlorhydria. Both of these conditions will cause reflux, belching, bitter taste in the mouth, gas, bloating, nausea, belching, intestinal gurgling diarrhea and/or constipation, etc. Gastric fluids, with or without the presence of strong hydrochloric acid, is very bitter to the taste. Because the symptoms of these two conditions are virtually identical many doctors make the assumption that a patient is over producing HCL. This misdiagnosis is the result of the doctors failure to do pH diagnostic testing. Unfortunately, in many instances patients that are not producing enough HCL are placed on Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPIs) or other acid reducing medications. This misdiagnosis will cause the patient becomes Achlorhydric. Achlorhydria is the absence of Hydrochloric acid production in the Stomach. Strong hydrochloric acid is absolutely necessary to maintain proper pH balance in the digestive process. HCL maintains a sterile environment in the stomach and it destroys pathogens, parasites, bacteria that enter the stomach. More importantly, sufficiently strong HCL is necessary to break down nutrient and assist the Peptic enzymes in the conversion of proteins. The peptic enzymes are responsible for breaking down proteins into proteoses and peptones, which are the building blocks for the amino acids. The peptic enzymes are most active in the conversion process, when the strength of the acid is between 1.0 and 2.1 pH. As the strength of the HCL diminishes the peptic enzymes become less active in the conversion of proteins. At pH 5.0 the peptic enzymes are completely inactive in the conversion process. PPIs will stop the production of HCL and allow the proliferation of bacteria like H. Pylori and Candida. When sterilization and conversion is eliminated raw protein is dumped into the small bowel. Many proteins are allergens and will cause food relate allergies and food sensitivities, if they are not destroyed by the strong HCL and peptic enzymes. Proton Pump Inhibitors will hide the symptoms of reflux, however the side effects can be debilitating. Reflux can be controlled with natural medications that do not alter the body’s natural pH balance. Before taking any type of PPI or acid reducing medication that can harm you, get a Heidelberg pH diagnostic test. A 30-minute Heidelberg pH diagnostic test is accurate, safe and affordable.

Candida, (Candida albicans), formerly called Monilia. It is a common yeast-like fungi that can be found in the mouth, on the skin, intestinal tract, ge****ls and va**na. Candida albicans is part of the normal flora, of the mucus membranes, in the respiratory, gastrointestinal, female and male ge***al tracts. When the digestive system becomes out of balance, due to of aging, the use of antibiotics, proton pump Inhibitors (PPIs), chemotherapy, environmental toxins, etc. [ 702 more words ]

Bronchial Asthma originates from affliction, of the stomach and Gastro-intestinal tract. In many cases, before the onset of the disease, patients will complain of indigestion, gas, bloating, nausea, constipation, and diarrhea. The attack of Asthma can be sudden, due to sensitivity of the patient, to certain substances like; pollen, dust, perfume, cigarette smoke, and certain allergic foods. Asthma causes difficulty in breathing, sense of tightness, or constriction around the chest, whistling sound while breathing, and difficulty in inspiration and expiration. [ 373 more words. ]

Digestion is one of the most critical functions that affects aging, in the human body. To understand aging and how to keep your body from prematurely aging, you need to know how a healthy digestive process works.

Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) is a condition the occurs when bacteria and pathogens are allowed to enter the small bowel and proliferate. In a normal healthy body, nutrients enter the stomach and are mixed with Hydrochloric acid (HCL), Pepsin and a host of other enzymes. The HCL maintains a sterile environment, in the stomach, by destroying bacteria and pathogens, before they can enter the small bowel. [ 398 more words. ]

Osteoporosis is known as the silent killer. In many instances, it starts when a person is young and it increases with age. The disease can be brought on by three conditions: Hyperchlorhydria, Hypochlorhydria and Achlorhydria. Hyperchlorhydria is the excessive production of strong hydrochloric acid in the stomach. It is a common condition in young active adults. This condition is usually caused by abnormal metabolism, stress (either personal, or occupational), diet and life style. [ 1079 more words. ]

To maintain a healthy body and immune system, at any age, especially over the age of 40, the digestive system must work at its optimum level, to provide the necessary support. Support for body and the immune systems is maximized, by absorbing, as much of the vitamins, minerals and micronutrients as possible, from the nutrients consumed. This is the primary reason a healthy diet is absolutely necessary, in maintaining longevity. [ 491 more words. ]

Celiac Disease Celiac disease is a disorder, resulting from an immune response to Gluten, it is an autoimmune disease. Gluten is comprised of two Proteins and Carbohydrates.

Gluten contains a combination of 2 Proteins that are present in Cereal grains, especially wheat. The two Proteins are Glutelin (Glutenin) and Gliadin. Gliadin is a glycoprotein (combination of carbohydrates and protein). Gliadin in Gluten causes some of the best examples of food derived pathogens that result in illness and abnormal conditions. Virtually every disorder related to Gluten sensitivity has its roots imbedded in malnutrition, and allergic reactions. [ 223 more words. ]

Pylori is considered the most popular cause for Peptic and Duodenal Ulcers. A very large portion of the population has the H. Pylori bacteria in their digestive tract. When the bacteria enters the digestive system, it buries itself in the heavy mucus lining, of the stomach and is held in check, by the strong hydrochloric acid, produced by the stomach's parietal cells.
