Medications That Cause Acid Reflux

Q.Doesn't taking too much calcium pills cause kidney problems? I have acid reflux and i've heard and read people say that you should take calcium pills. i've heard tho that taking calcium pills with an acid reflux medication can cause kidney problems.

A.Why would you take both medicine AND nutritional supplements for the same thing? Calcium is best absorbed with vitamin D, but it works well with magnesium, also. I have what is called a Hyper Acidic Digestive Tract (HADT). My Mother craved lemonaide when she was pregnant with me. In addition to the HADT, I also have what is known as a Geographic Tongue. Too much acid in my body, & eating more acidic things upsets my internal balance. Cal/mags neutralizes & balances my body ph; adjusting it back to a more alkaline state. When a person is sick, they are more acidic than they should be. Keeping the body in a more alkaline state helps prevent sickness. There is a BIG difference between taking "too much" calcium and taking calcium with medications. If you want to solve your acid reflux problem, then realistically you should seek methods that help to heal the problem naturally using your body to help in conjunction with food, herbs ans vitamins/minerals. If you just want to mask the problem and stop the irritation but not work towards healing then keep on the medications. The correct diet, supplements and such do NOT have the "list of side effects" that most prescriptions have so weigh the options. Your body CAN and DOES heal IF you help it out instead of interfering with the process. SPend about 30 minutes searching online and you can save yourself alot of trouble down the road.
