Acid Indigestion

Most people, when they hear the term acid indigestion, immediately think you are referring to an excess of acid in your stomach. With that in mind, the next logical course of action is to reach for the antacid pills to calm it down.

This is a common mistake which, if taken repeatedly could lead to some very serious health consequences.

    Aside: Indigestion is not the same as heartburn, which usually is an aggravation of the oesophagus. The causes however, may be the same so vinegar should also work as a remedy.

Add Acid NOT AntAcid

You may be surprised to hear that Indigestion is often caused by a lack of acid in your stomach rather than an excess.

In fact, it has been my experience that a lack of acid in the stomach is much more common than too much.

Why is this? Consider the following.

According to Wikipedia, the common causes of acid indigestion are:

  • eating too many fatty foods
  • eating too much spicy foods
  • drinking too much alcohol
  • drinking too much caffeine
  • smoking

Are there excess amounts of acids in these foods or drink?

If not then where does all the excess acid come from to cause you so much discomfort?

The truth is most indigestion occurs when your body is unable to generate enough acid to process the foods you eat so you need to supplement acid from other sources.

Here is a statement most people have a lot of problem “swallowing”.

    The easiest way to relieve your symptoms
    is to take a teaspoon of vinegar!

Boy do I ever get the looks when I tell someone that!

Sometimes there is no amount of persuading on my part to convince them to give it a try but …

Vinegar Has Always Worked

In every case, when someone has taken my advice about vinegar and indigestion, they have experienced immediate relief and have become a crusader for my cause.

Don't believe me? Need to consult another source?

How about Wikipedia?

“The consumption of small amounts of light, purer acids, like white vinegar may grant relief.

Pickles can be used in lieu of such things.

This should be tried prior to the consumption of antacids, as the issue could be not excess but lack of acid in the stomach.”
A direct quote from Wikipedia

The next time you feel heartburn or acid indigestion, reach for your bottle of vinegar and get instant relief.

Believe me!

I have seen it time and time again.

Honest!
