Why Does My Stomach Hurt After I Eat?

!: Why Does My Stomach Hurt After I Eat?

Your doctors won't tell you this, but the cause of your stomach ache and why your stomach hurts after you eat may have nothing to do with having a disease or a condition.

You might have been told you have a disease or condition like Acid Reflux, Gastritis, Diverticulitis, Diverticulosis, Colitis, Crohn's (IBD), IBS, Ulcer, Hiatal Hernia, heartburn, diarrhea, constipation, gas, and or bloating.

They'll tell you that because they don't really understand the underlying causes. Doctors treat symptoms, they really don't address causes. That went out the door when the doctor left house calls behind. The old-fashioned doctors knew why you were having problems because they visited you in your home and understood your lifestyle.

Most doctors today have to look at your file to remember your name.

Did you know that eating a simple meal of meats and potatoes can send your stomach into grueling pain? Why?

Because you're combining the wrong kinds of foods together. Meats are an acid-forming food, potatoes are low alkaline, so they are considered alkaline causing foods.

Combining foods that require acid forming enzymes to break them down in the digestive tract when mixed with foods that require alkaline-forming enzymes to break them down counteract each other, canceling each other out. When this happens, the food doesn't go anywhere it sits in your stomach, fermenting.

Thirteen hours later your food isn't digested yet and then you get up and eat more foods on top of that fermenting stomach, no wonder you're gaining weight. Additionally, you're adding toxins by the boat load to your system.

So you go to the doctor and get relief, a prescription for a proton-pump inhibitor, something to keep the acid from forming, only after taking it for a few weeks, you're back at square one. Why? Because the body realizes there's not enough acid in your system for breaking down the food (that of course is stagnated) and you end up with even more acid that is now regurgitating it's way back up your throat.

There is a way to end this nightmare and it has to do with learning what foods to combine with what. Developing a healthy eating plan that is based on your body's needs doesn't have to be painful. You can still eat the foods that you enjoy, as long as you eat them separately from the foods that don't combine well with them.
