HEARTBURN
|
Heartburn (or indigestion) is a feeling of burning, warmth, heat, or pain that usually starts in the upper abdomen and spreads upward into your throat, often accompanied by a sour taste in your mouth. Heartburn occurs when food and stomach juices back up into the esophagus.1 Antacids, like sodium bicarbonate, can help relieve the symptoms of heartburn and indigestion, but won't solve the underlying problem.3 Using acid reducers or blockers regularly can have a negative impact on your health as your stomach must have an acid pH of 1.5 to 2.5 to work properly.6 Part of the problem is that the foods are not being digested correctly. This can be due to an enzyme deficiency caused by an imbalance or dysfunction in the pancreas, adrenal glands or liver.5*
