How old are you?
The problem is that the symptoms of not enough and too much acid are the same. Gastritis is often caused by not enough stomach acid. I know, because that's what was going on with me for years.
The way they push antacids is nearly criminal. Most people over the age of 40 are losing their stomach acid. Only about 5% of the population has too much.
Did you ever try taking Betaine HCL, a mild acid made from sugar beets, to see if that helped the digestive issues?
Antacids may work for a while, but if symptoms come back, consider that it might be a case of not enough.
Take care,
Annie
