RE: And it is my Gall Bladder(most likely) that is the issue
Does that neutralize pepsin immediately as well?
Me no understandee.
Do you mean breakdown the acid in your stomach (stoppping reflex?).Pepsin breaks down proteins.
If you mean acid reflux- the most common reason for it (and very counter intuitive), is that your stomach is not acid enough. (Told you it was counter intuitive).
Acid reflux happens mostly when the sphincter muscle (same kind as yer arse) above your stomach is not activated by the acid weak concentrations. It stays open, allowing the acid to go into the esophagus - causing the burning sensation.
Raising the acid levels in your stomach makes the sphincter work - as it's supposed to work.
I can't remember the last time had 'indigestion'.
I keep my stomach 'acidy' with vinegar and lots of lemon/ lime in my foods.
ie Never eat big pharma antacids - (or milk/yogurt, to quieten the burn - they perpetuate the need to keep eating antacids.
A clever 'profit cycle', uh?
Sorry if I've got off topic - Just tryin' to help.....as for pepsin - what would be the reason for neutralizing this?
It's an enzyme that helps you digest stuff (proteins).
Didn't expect to see you here, @lucylin.
Good advice, doc. Yes, pepsin is one of the digestive enzymes found in the typical enzyme blends - for protein. What field did you learn your expertise in? (obviously don't give away your profession). Sounds like you know anatomy and health. Either that, or maybe you really love sphincters!
...the sex industry. lol.
All self taught matey - over 15 years or so. I've aways been interested in nutrition and that kinda stuff.
Dis-gus-ting!
lol!
Sounds like you know your stuff, @lucylin. I used to be a personal trainer and took some health and other related educationz. Fun to apply some of it again.
lol
I went pretty deep into it - everything is about nutrition. You are what you eat, and all that.
The more I learn, the more I see it.
The funny thing is - it's not complicated - it's actually very simple. Get the basics right and the rest falls into place. (imo).
(typing this while smoking a cancer stick.. lol)
Oh I see, yes that makes sense. I was talking about when I get a little bit of acid reflux I drank a tiny amount of this PH10 or PH 9.5 water that would neutralize the pepsin, just the stuff that got into my mouth and throat, not like drinking a ton of PH water to neutralize the stuff in my stomach.
I got this baking soda toothpaste and some good mouth wash that neutralizes acid.
Got lemon juice I am mixing in with some water and putting on food, and got the apple cider vinegar with the Mother I am also using. Parsley/Tumeric and other things seem to be suggested as well so I am putting that on everything I eat.
Also going to incorporate more acidic foods into my diet, found out certain fats are better than others as well when having gall bladder issues. Found out the hard way on Corn oil and corn based foods.... got wrecked lol!
I can eat small amounts of bacon or turkey bacon, ground beef, can eat lots of chicken or tuna no problem.
We render down a kilo of pork fat every week!
,,,get those saturated fats in ya! butter , cheese , - the lot!..Olive oil and coconut oils to.
non sat fats causes cell inflammation. (it the wrong kind of fat for our bodies to use properly)
Inflammation causes increased production of cholesterol,,,,blah blah..
