I too find that I take many antiacids, though not nearly so many as
before the GF diet. However, I still take "Zantac" 250mg. twice a day.
Without them my stomach will burn and hurt terribly, and I also will have
reflux problems. (reflux is why they originally presribed the medication)
My questions are:
1. What are the exact symptoms of low/lack of acid?
2. What questions should I be asking my Dr. to help in the diagnosis of
this condition?
3. Is this condition reversable?
TIA,
Lynda
