Guest guest Posted October 6, 2006 Report Share Posted October 6, 2006 I suspect that the lemon water was what caused my ulcer/erosions. I was drinking tons of lemon water to alkalize my body and help with urinary issues, and it actually seems to have backfired on me. I had an upper endoscopy that showed erosions in April, but the doc said not to worry about it. I continued the lemon water regime and began to have constant nausea. I finally stopped the lemon water. The doc gave me ulcer meds (zegerid) which seemed to help for a while with the nausea, but now I feel like I really need to approach this more naturally. The whey and glutamine seem to be helping, as well as staying away from coffee. I will try the colloidal silver once I find out if I actually have h.pylori. I suspect that I don't.

Guest guest Posted October 6, 2006 Report Share Posted October 6, 2006 Nope, the lemon juice can't cause stomach erosions because is about 100 times more ALKALINE than stomach contents. Ulcer meds increase alkalinity even more effectively for comfort. In doing so they compromize the stomach's ability to kill unwanted bacteria so you inoculate you bowel with these unwanted bacteria, it compromizes the emulsification and digestion of food, and this compromizes digestion too. All told, it leads to poor digestion and bacterial dysbiosis including bowel candida. Zegerid is omeprazole and sodium bicarbonate, very alkaline- producing; exactly the opposite of good medicine and prudent practise, which would be to INCREASE somach acidity to the range of pH 2-3.
