Guest guest Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 Dr. Goebel, The best digestive enzyme/probiotic supplement I've ever taken was a Japanese Umeboshi plum... there are fermented, pickled japanese plums. They are very salty and sour, but incredibly effective for all sorts of digestive disturbances. It is actually a condiment (food), not really a supplement. You only need to take one right after eating a meal... preferably dinner. Bob - Michael Goebel oleander soup Wednesday, July 09, 2008 8:13 AM [!!

Its benefit lies in reducing the acid just long enough to cause the ulceration and scarring in the esophagus and cardiac sphincter to heal. The downside of this drug and others that diminish or neutralize stomach acid is the lack of digestion that will occur; and the lack of nutrients in the body will eventually spell trouble for all bodily systems.For acid reflux, excessive belching, and bloating and cramping, the remedy is digestive enzymes. These are mainly the proteolytic enzymes such as pancreatin, bromelain, papain, etc., but also the carbohydrate and fat digestion enzymes. If your stomach still feels full 4 hours after eating, take 4 to 8 digestive enzyme pills. The pressure, pain, or other discomfort should go away in 30 to 60 minutes; and the stomach empties its contents into the small intestine at that time.Dr. Goebel--- On Wed, 7/9/08, May <luellamay129 wrote: May <luellamay129 Re: Acid Reflux/Maryoleander soup Date: Wednesday, July 9, 2008, 8:53 AM All these medications, including antacids are extremely harmful.
