Why is acid reflux ruining my life? I found out 5 years ago that I had an acidic problem in my stomach that is causing me to have allergic reactions to food. When I think about that statement the Dr. gave me so long ago I realize that he never once told me what I should do to fix that acidic problem on the inner linings (walls) of my stomach, or my stomach lining. He prescribed me Zantac and hurried me on my way. That was the end of that. I never went in to see him again, only to get a new prescription once my refills expired and all he did was update his data and prescribed me new medication.
So, what is the underlying problem of your acid reflux or mine for that reason? Now I know, better than I did before that your stomach has a hard time digesting foods that are tough, like meats and processed foods. A friend of mine had the same hives attack and she cannot eat processed foods like, balogna, canned tuna or vienna sausage and the like, bacon all those stuff in the canned and frozen isles. Aaahhh? What? Those are the kinds of foods that take up at least 90% of my diet.
So, what should I eat instead? Of course, we know the answer to this, but how easy is it for us to make that change. More Greens, that are grown locally of course and stay away from meats that the stomach has to work extra hard to digest. (But I love my meats and processed food they are so yummy).
Lately, my hives have not been going away with Zantac and loratadine alone. So, I’ve also added moringa to my diet as I found it acts as a wonderful ph buffer or balancer. We’ll see how that goes. I’ll update you all on that in a later post. Until then, happy shopping. stay away from the canned and frozen isles and go fresh. Buy local.
