🌿 Your Body Is Trying to Tell You Something

Part 2 of 6: You Suffer From Heartburn & Reflux

🔥 Burning in your chest
😣 Pressure after meals
🤢 Sour taste in your throat

It’s not just “too much acid.”

It’s communication.

⸻

💬 What Heartburn & Reflux Often Really Mean:

🔥 It’s Often LOW Stomach Acid — Not High

When acid is too low:
• Food doesn’t break down properly
• Pressure builds
• The lower esophageal valve doesn’t close tightly
• Acid splashes upward

Blocking acid doesn’t fix weak digestion.

⸻

🌿 Gentle Relief & Support Options:

💊 Digestive Enzymes + HCl

Supporting stomach acid at the beginning of a meal can help protein break down properly and reduce pressure.

(Start low. Work with a practitioner if needed.)

⸻

🍎 Apple Cider Vinegar

1 tablespoon in water before meals
May gently stimulate stomach acid production.

⸻

🧂 Baking Soda (Occasional Relief)

½ teaspoon in water
Can temporarily calm burning.

(Not a long-term solution — just short-term relief.)

⸻

🥗 Smaller Meals

Large meals increase pressure on the stomach.
Smaller balanced meals reduce upward force.

⸻

🫁 Another Often-Overlooked Cause: Hiatal Hernia

A hiatal hernia happens when part of the stomach pushes slightly up through the diaphragm.

This can:
• Weaken the valve
• Increase reflux
• Create pressure symptoms

Minor hiatal hernias can sometimes be helped with:
• Targeted chiropractic adjustments
• Specific manual techniques
• Diaphragm support exercises

Some people even learn gentle self-techniques.

(More significant cases should always be evaluated by a professional.)

⸻

⚠️ A Simple Word About Acid-Blocking Medications

Stomach acid is necessary to:
• Absorb minerals
• Digest protein
• Kill harmful bacteria
• Signal proper digestion

Long-term suppression may contribute to:
• Nutrient deficiencies
• More bloating
• Increased infection risk
• Slower digestion

They have their place — but they don’t correct root causes.
