you may think you have heartburn, but you may not have enough digestive enzymes, and stomach acid. to test this, after a meal and you start heartburn take an antacid such as maalox or gaviscon, if that doesnt help, after yor next meal, take 3 tablespoons of lemon juice or 3 tablespoons of cider vinegar, if this helps, you can be sure you are not producing enough stomach acid to digest your food. not enough stomach acids can give you the exact same symptoms as heartburn, but really, your food is not fully digested. it can even show up on an upper gi as acid reflux. try this and tell me what happens. if the lemon juice, or vinegar relieves symptoms you do not have enough acid for proper digestion. you can email me at b52t1@hotmail.com
