What The Makers of Antacids and Heartburn Medication Don’t Want You to Know: A Non-Drug Option

Feb. 6, 2011 - PRLog -- February 1, 2011 - New York City, NY - Beverly Olivo, has officially put the makers of antacids and heartburn medicine on notice. What people don't realize is that there are tons of alternative options to curing most common ailments.  The HolisticNYCMom website is dedicated to product reviews, current news updates and alternative options that include homeopathy, whole food nutrition, bio-molecular nutrition and more.

As Beverly Olivo added, when you are suffering from a heartburn attack, your first inclination is to probably get an over-the-counter antacid.  These medications neutralize acid reflux.  As a result heartburn doesn’t occur, at least for a while, because the acid has been kept in place.  Yet, many people do not realize that in exchange for having their heartburn stopped, they may have to suffer a host of other problems when using antacids.  This article will explain some of those problems in greater detail along with providing a non-drug alternative.

The elements in antacids that can cause problems include: magnesium, aluminum, sodium bicarbonate and calcium.  Magnesium and aluminum can result in bowel problems, though this is just a minor side effect in comparison to what sodium bicarbonate and calcium can cause.  Basically, through them heartburn sufferers may experience nausea, vomiting and dizziness.  The combination can even lead to kidney damage due to renal stones.  Additionally, the excessive sodium may cause a person to have heart problems, especially if they have been ordered by their doctors to eat a low-sodium diet.  

What if a person gets addicted to antacids and decides to overdose on them in hopes of getting rid of their heartburn faster?  Well, in addition to the above-mentioned side effects, antacid overdose can result in painful stomach cramps.  Indeed, no one should think that because heartburn medication is over-the-counter that they have the green light to take as many as they want.  Heartburn medication is still a drug, and needs to be viewed in the same manner as a prescription-based heartburn or gerd medication.

Fortunately, the bloggers of http://www.HolisticNYCMom.com have found another solution available for heartburn sufferers.  It involves using a non-drug gerd medication.  Non-drug heartburn medications use only natural ingredients to control acid reflux.  As a result there are no worries over side effects, because no chemicals are used.  When compared against traditional heartburn medications, non-drug medications are definitely more physiologically friendly to the body.

Yet, don’t expect to find any non-drug heartburn medication on store counters just yet.  This is because the antacid companies currently control the heartburn medication market.  And in their eyes, since chemicals have worked for so many years, there’s not much need to investigate non-drug alternatives.  So, you may have to discuss non-drug heartburn medications with your doctor and/or go online.

If you do decide to go online to look for non-drug heartburn medications, visit http://www.HolisticNYCMom.com for information about Alimentz.  This website introduces a new and exciting natural heartburn relief product that is also effective with the pain associated with acid-reflux and gerd.  It is different because it doesn’t neutralize or inhibit stomach acid production like the more popular chewable chalk or prescription products.  Alimentz soothes and protects and prevents heartburn and acid-reflux from occurring.  It also contains enzymes, which aid in the digestive process.
