Saw this article and thought it was worth passing along http://www.scribd.com/doc/228432848/Dr-Mike-Gut-Dysfunction-2014 "Antacids neutralize stomach acid, raising the pH level from very acidic (2.0) to between 3 and 4, which destroys about 99% of the stomach acid.When this happens, you completely throw off the balance of bacteria in your intestinal tract and give the bad bacteria the upper hand.To sum it up, antacids are literally killers of probiotics (good bacteria) in your gut. And it doesn't stop there.The hydrochloric acid in your stomach not only digests food--it also acts as a protective barrier for your body.Every day you ingest food and other organisms that have the potential to make you sick or even kill you.Your stomach acids typically destroys these dangerous invaders before they can cause you harm.But when your stomach acid is neutralized, the protective barrier isn't there and the invaders can get into your intestinal tract.If your gut has mainly bad bacteria to begin with, you've got a great chance of getting REALLY sick. * The idea that ‘too much stomach acid causes these problems is very flawed and simple testing can determine if you actually have too much or too little. The treatment is VERY different."
