MC and stomach acid

Hi folks....

I've been suffering from a bout of stomach acid recently. It feels like I swallowed a car battery, and this is after taking Protonix every day. I'm also taking an antacid, which helps a bit, but not completely. I think a good bit of it may be caused by stress.

I've had a summer filled with bad eating habits, and would like to transition into the fall a few lbs lighter, and a little "cleaner." With all of the lemon juice, would it be wise to hold off on the cleanse until this settles down?

    Lemon itself is acidic, but the way it is digested our body makes it alkaline. www.trans4mind.com/nutrition/pH.html

    An excerpt:
    >>Note that a food's acid or alkaline-forming tendency in the body has nothing to do with the actual pH of the food itself. For example, lemons are very acidic, however the end-products they produce after digestion and assimilation are alkaline so lemons are alkaline-forming in the body.<<


    I haven't done the MC while having stomach acid issues so I can't answer to that - maybe post to curezone? curezone.com/forums/f.asp
