Almost everyone is familiar with heartburn—the uncomfortable burning sensation behind the breastbone that can occur after meals, when lying down, or during physical activity. While it's commonly linked to high stomach acidity, could heartburn also occur with low acidity?
Yes! Heartburn isn't Just About Acid
The cause of heartburn isn't always related to stomach acid levels. A key player is the lower esophageal sphincter—the muscle separating the esophagus from the stomach. When it doesn't function properly, stomach contents flow back into the esophagus, irritating its lining. Even with low stomach acidity, this reflux can cause chest burning.
Main Causes of Heartburn:
- Reflux Regardless of Acidity: Even normal or reduced stomach acid levels can irritate the esophagus. This is a classic symptom of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and needs attention.
- Bile Reflux: When bile, in addition to stomach acid, enters the esophagus, heartburn may occur after meals, sometimes even without increased acidity.
- Sensitive Esophageal Lining: Even normal, physiological reflux can trigger heartburn if the esophageal lining is overly sensitive.
Should You Always Lower Acidity?
No. In cases of low acidity, using proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) such as omeprazole may actually cause harm. Lowering acidity in these situations disrupts protein digestion, and symptoms persist.
If you're looking for natural remedies for heartburn, choose products that gently soothe the esophagus without altering stomach acidity.
What to Do for Heartburn?
For occasional heartburn, select treatments that quickly neutralize symptoms without lowering stomach acidity. Alginate-based products, such as Hyalera, are ideal.
For regular heartburn, it's crucial to consult a doctor to evaluate acidity levels, identify the root cause, and establish a proper treatment plan.
If you need fast heartburn relief, choose safe, localized treatments that don't affect stomach acidity but instead create a protective barrier and soothe the lining.
