v.C buffer and potassium chloride

[Guest guest]

Dear group,

 

I have chronic acute gastritis with hyperacidity and would like to take

larger doses of vitamin C. But too much acids with foods is not good for the

over-acid stomach. Right now I add soda (alkaline) as a buffer to vitamin C.

Can somebody explain if this is a good way to counterbalance extra acidity?

Another question is the following. Too much soda as a buffer, in addition

to some sea salt, increases my sodium consumption. That results in edema and

morning swelling. Would it be wise to use potassium chloride instead of

sodium chloride or maybe to try their mixture (e.g., 50/50)?

Thanks in advance.

 

Best wishes, Artour Rakhimov.

Dear Mr Rakhimov,

What are the symptoms of the hyperacidity? The reason I ask is

that I was under belief that the stmach secreted as acid a secretion

s it could and could go no higher. Could it be that your acidity is

normal but you have an ulcer from an infection or a defective

esophagous valve?

If you use potassium chloride be sure to have adequate calcium

and vitamin D and be ABSOLUTELY sure to have adequate vitamin B-1

with no wine or vinegar fermented with sulfur dioxide. It is better

and safer to get your potassium from food. If you use potassium

chloride, first read;
