You have heartburn after meals, and the first instinct is an antacid. That's normal – you've always been told it burns because there is tropic of acid. But what if it were the reverse? What if your stomach, from being exhausted, was no longer producing enoughacid to do its job properly?

You've probably been advised to reduce acidity – with Tums, Gaviscon, or a doctor-prescribed PPI. And you may have had... temporary relief. But the heartburn returns. The reflux persists. Because the real problem was never solved.

The truth is, acid reflux isn't always what it seems. Understanding what's really going on in your stomach—that digestive intelligence your body possesses—is the first step to taking back control.
