Since we do meet at night, we would not want anyone to risk injury while attempting to attend a meeting. We will resume meeting in the month of March. The Re-Route is published in February, so watch for details as to the program, date, time and place of our next meeting. Almost everyone has indigestion occasionally especially during the holidays when overeating is at an all-time high. Here s why. . .
Antacids neutralize stomach acid, which can ease discomfort.
And, since ulcers may be caused by excess stomach acid, short-term use of antacids for them may make some sense. But most indigestion comes from faulty digestion, including lack of sufficient digestive juices and stomach acid. So the solution for chronic heart-burn or indigestion is not continued use of antacids but finding the cause with the help of your care provider. Many antacids contain lots of salt, which can elevate blood pressure. In addition, calcium carbonate antacids may not be an appropriate calcium source for some people.
