News Flash: Heartburn Actually Caused by
Too Little Stomach Acid
How Heartburn Medications are Just Prolonging the Problem
Heartburn
is extremely common, affecting almost 50% of Americans.
20%
have heartburn on a weekly basis!
Heartburn
medications are among the most common over-the-counter medications sold.
However, once people start taking them, it seems like they need to keep taking
them forever.
Why?
Because…..the
problem isn’t too much acid, it’s too little acid!
Let’s take a look at what is really going on. The pH of
our stomach is supposed to be very low, or in other words, the acidity needs to
be very high. If it is not, we can’t break down the food we eat, we can’t
absorb minerals properly, and we can’t fight off infections in our
gastrointestinal tract as well. Normal stomach pH should be between 1 and 3. However, as we age, we lose some of the
cells that make acid, causing the pH to rise.
Numerous
studies have shown that hydrochloric acid secretion declines with advancing
age. If too much acid was actually causing heartburn, we
would see tons of children running around on acid reflux medication and then
getting better as they grow up! But that’s not the case. So how is too little
acid causing symptoms of GERD, heartburn, and acid reflux?
The answer lies in a small flap known as
the lower esophageal sphincter. Normally, the
lower esophageal sphincter is constantly closed and only opens up long enough
to allow food to pass from the esophagus into the stomach. However,
physiologically, it needs a low pH to stay closed.
If the pH gets too high or there is not enough acid in the stomach, this
sphincter stays open, allowing food contents to pass from the stomach back into
the esophagus.
Any amount of stomach acid hitting the esophagus is going to
burn. And that is why heartburn medications work.
They lower the amount of acid so not that not as much acid
is crossing over into the esophagus.
However, they are also just prolonging the problem and making it worse, because
now this flap
never closes. More acid continues to get into the
esophagus, causing more damage and more pain.
On Wednesday, we will discuss how to increase the acid content in your stomach, which will lower the pH and help keep that flap closed!
