Antacids Causing Kidney Failure: Now What??

Antacids Causing Kidney Failure: Now What??

Burning pain in the stomach probably isn't from too much acid! Contrary to what we have been told, when you aren't producing enough stomach acid, the food falls in and rots on it's own.  This type of "rotting food fermenting" is not helped by antacids long term. This condition of not producing enough stomach acid is called: hypochlorhydria

Here's the scoop: if you are eating foods that your stomach doesn't have enough acid to break down, you will get pain in your stomach=heartburn.

So eating a lot of cow dairy, sweets, coffee and animal proteins can actually create the acid reflux/heartburn/GERD you are taking antacids to prevent. We are not suggesting you stop these offending foods, but if you eat more "easy" light proteins, you don't need as much acid to break them down. Vegetables and some fruits are very alkaline and do not require much stomach acid to digest.

If your diet is high in acidic foods, your body MUST immediately work to bring the acid/alkaline balance back.  While you are cutting down on the offending foods, mix a 1/2 tsp. of baking soda in 6oz. of water and drink it down.  The buring fire will be extinguished! 
Kidney failure potential is scary, but these drugs may also increase other side effects: including bone fractures, infections and possibly heart problems!
