Severe heartburn
#14
(01-01-2022, 12:47 PM)Sled21 Wrote: The stomach acid is necessary, but it needs to stay in the stomach. When a person has recurring heartburn, which often turns to GERD, the acid can lead to all kinds of things that can kill you. Throat strictures, which in inhibit swallowing food can cause choking and food catching in the throat (painful as hell) and can actually lead to throat cancer. It's not something to take lightly.

I definitely don't take it lightly since it hurts like hell, but given the odds of dying from not enough stomach acid or too much? Tough call, eh? I'm hanging with the zinc cornosine and occasional baking soda and water until it no longer works..Then I MIGHT take medications that MIGHT kill me prematurely.. Half a dozen of one, six of the other..
