Hello all. I read several responses here that mentioned alkaline diet. In 1970 I came home from Viet Nam with a severe intestinal problem. Pain beyond belief!
I went to the VA hospital in West Los Angeles. In 1970 they called it regional
interitis. The name has changed several times over the years. Acid reflux, IBS, Crohns disease, gerd and others. I think my problem was excess stomach acid due to stress. A couple years ago I was telling a friend about this and he said
" drink lemon in water." I said I would not put more acid in my stomach. He said " lemon is alkaline, not acidic". For years the attacks came on slowly then intensified and they lasted 3 to 4 days. Now if I feel an attack coming on I drink lemon in water. It stops the attack in a short time, less than one hour. I no longer need to take drugs to stop the attacks. Big pharma doesn't like that ! Neither do the corporations that produce Ultra Processed Foods. My diet consists of fruits, vegetables, meat and dairy. I have not researched alkaline.
My best to you All.
