Stomach acid is not something most people think... - Thyroid UK
Stomach acid is not something most people think about. Yet it’s one of the most important aspects of your digestive system!
Thank you for posting clutter, this is a really good simple to understand explanation of stomach acid especially for my foggy brain
Yes, even I understood it
I read about an other test you can do.
Eat some beetroot. Hydrochloric acid is needed to break down the colouring in the beetroot so, if your urine has a distinct red colour, you can be certain that you are low in stomach acid.
This is from Erica White's book.
Thanks Clutter , I am off to buy Apple Cider Vinega and hopefully can throw my omeprazole in the bin , I also hope I could start having daity products without taking off like a Apollo 13 ;o)
Wean yourself off by reducing dose or taking every other day if you can. Chances are symptoms may resume initially. 1/4tsp to 1/2tsp bicarbonate of soda in ACV & fruit juice is supposed to be a good indigestion/reflux remedy. ostlerscidermill.co.uk/
Day 3 without Omeprazole and daily glass of juice with apple cider vinegar 1st thing in the morning . Bowel feels good and no acid problems so far. Defenately keep going and see how things are progressing.
Oh well done! That's really good. If you do get acid (hope you don't) try a glass before meals.
