Here are some stuff we can consume to treat the problem of stomaches producing excessive acids:
1. Antacids
These are usually liquids or chewable tablets which are made to neutralise the acid in your stomach and to ‘mop up' any excess acid.
2. Rafting agents
These are usually liquids that once in the stomach, form a ‘raft' by sitting on top of the acid and so, preventing it from escaping into the oesophagus. Rafting agents can also be referred to by their technical name - alginates.
3. Acid balancers
These tablets control the amount of acid your stomach produces and bring it back to your normal level. They are also long-lasting, helping9 you stay symptom-free for up to 12 hours. Because of the way they work they can be taken to prevent the problem from happening in the first place. So, when you know you're going to eat or drink something that triggers the problem, taking an acid balancer can help prevent an attack from happening.
