Introduction
I have not to my knowledge had an issue with stomach acid levels. I also do not consider myself an authority on the subject.
So what is acid reflux and heart burn
An authority on the subject however is Jonathan V. Wright MD who has written some books on the subject. Read http://www.tahomaclinic.com/heartburn.shtml for some information on the subject. Also read the book that Jonathan has written on the subject called "Your Stomach -What is really making you miserable and what to do about it".
A suggested remedy from the Internet
If you are suffering low stomach acid levels, take a HCL supplement, or create your own HCL by mixing lemon/lime juice/or apple cider vinegar with magnesium chloride/salt, and a protein meal. The food acid reacts with the magnesium chloride to form hydrochloric acid and magnesium citrate. This helps activate digestive enzymes and provide acidity in the stomach. Use one teaspoon of lemon or lime juice (or less of cider vinegar) to half a teaspoon of magnesium chloride in cold water.
Further stimulate the digestion by taking bitters following a meal.
