Acid Reflux

Is This The REAL Cause of Acid Reflux and Ulcers?

Can high levels of stomach acid lead to heartburn, acid reflux, and eventually ulcers? I remember the first time I bought PH sticks and testing my saliva and urine first thing in the morning. The results were depressing to say the least.

You see, a healthy gastrointestinal tract (GI tract), for example, depends upon an alkaline mouth and saliva, a highly acidic stomach, an alkaline small intestine and slightly acidic colon.

If your body departs from these norms, then fatigue, loss of energy, and a host of other harbingers of declining health and premature aging make themselves known.

To be able to test your urine, you will have get some litmus paper or PH
sticks that are particularly made for testing Urine and Saliva.

Testing saliva is not very reliable as it fluctuates a lot. In order to get the
most accurate results you should test your urine.

To test your urine, you should test the first or second urine of the day after
you wake up. Simply urinate into a small cup, dip the litmus/PH stick in the urine, wait 15 seconds, then compare to the color chart supplied.

A reading of 7 is neutral, a reading above 6.5 is normal and a reading below
6.5 is acidic.

That said, let me remind you that acid reflux is not directly caused by over-acidity, acidic/spicy foods, or by weakened LES.

In order to correctly address chronic acid reflux (preferably in a timely manner to avoid complications), you must tackle the hidden real cause of this condition.
