West asked:
I have read that antacids have a real negative effect on the body such as hindering the body from absorbing the proper nutrients and making the body produce even more acid to restore the balance of the pH level. Is all of this information true? and if it is, should i stop taking antacids and try natural remedies for acid reflux (GERD)?
