re having excess acid or too little, as taking antacids will help with too much, but make it worse if you have too little. I figured out that when I had
heartburn, I had too much. When I had an
ache and it felt like my last meal sat in my stomach for hours, I had too little.
It turned out that I also had high levels of h.pylori and campylobacter. A Prevpac took care of that. I also took a med called Xifaxin (for e.coli and parasites) and it helped too.
Sorry for the long winded answer.
