The Acid Watcher Diet: A 28-Day Reflux Prevention and Healing Program

Product Information

A general rule is that the more processed a food, the more acidic it is, due to the chemicals used to preserve it.

Pepsin is an enzyme located in the stomach which breaks down food when it gets activated. Pepsin gets maximally activated below a pH of 4. However, pepsin can float out of the stomach and sit, not activated, in the entire upper aerodigestive tract. When acidic substances then enter the body via the mouth, pepsin gets activated causing an inflammatory response; simply put, what you eat starts eating you. Again, rubbish. Cutting out food groups is the last thing you need, as some can aid healing from long-term acid exposure.

Heartburn: Heartburn is not really its own condition, but rather a symptom of acid reflux. When the acid creeps into your esophagus, it creates a painful sensation in the esophageal lining, which is more delicate than the stomach lining. This can feel like burning (hence the name), or like a sharp, tight pain. More than 60 million Americans experience heartburn on a monthly basis (that’s nearly 20% of the population!).
