Is Your Stomach Burning?
Common signs:
Morning heartburn on an empty stomach Burning sensation in the chest or throat Acid regurgitation (“sour burps”) Persistent bloating and fullness Do You Take Acid-Suppressing Medication Regularly?
Acid-suppressing drugs like PPIs (Proton Pump Inhibitors) relieve symptoms temporarily but do not treat the root cause.
GERD often results not from “too much acid,” but from weakness in the lower oesophageal sphincter (LES) and
delayed gastric emptying, which leads to reflux and inflammation.
The Risks of Long-Term Acid Suppression
When acid production is chronically reduced:
•
Calcium absorption decreases, raising the risk of osteoporosis and fractures
•
Iron and Vitamin B12 deficiencies become more common
•
Gut microbiome imbalance increases risk of infection and pneumonia
•
Long-term suppression can alter gastric cells and increase precancerous changes
Acid is essential for activating digestive enzymes (like pepsin), ionising minerals,
and destroying harmful bacteria — it should be balanced, not eliminated.
