I believe you are correct, it is a LACK of acid that is causing the problem. That being the case, when you have acid reflux, suck on a lemon. That will give the needed acid and stop the problem Nancy ----- Original Message ----- From: cari smith To: silver-list@eskimo.com Sent: Monday, January 02, 2006 11:06 AM Subject: CS>stomach upset /acid or lack of
Again from this book I have read it is the LACK of acid or the combinations of food eaten together that cause this...acid is needed for meats and alkaline for startches which nutralize leaving the food to be undigested and peutrafying ....Sea salt can help ulcers and promote stomach acid to help in digestion...another thing is not to use alot or any condiments ie;ketchup,mustard,etc....mayo ok coats the stomach...dairy isn't the answer but good fats and good meats eaten first,then starch then salad last.Please don't pop tums ...when food isn't digesting the proteins can get into the blood strem and cause allergies and malnutrition... cari ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Yahoo!
