I had been dealing with severe gastritis and GERD for over a year since my son was born. It was so bad that I would need to lie down in bed with a heating pad every day to relieve the pain. I saw a specialist who told me that I would likely need to take medication (a PPI called Pantoprazole) for the rest of my life.

I was 35 years old at the time and I did not want to accept that answer.

So I started praying that God would show me how he wanted to heal me. I strongly believed that He would completely heal me. The first thing that I came to was a book called the Acid Watcher Diet by Dr. Aviv. There’s a Facebook support group as well. I completely changed my diet to follow it. I had good results and I was no longer in constant stomach pain, however I would still have some type of daily flare-up.

Then I heard about the vitamins and began taking them daily! I didn’t see a lot of progress at first, but a few months later I realized that I had just experienced a 3 day stretch of no symptoms for the first time! Then it turned into a full week, and then even longer! Today, I am preparing to wean myself off the PPI and just stick with the vitamins and diet change. I am so thankful and I praise God for His healing and the vitamins!
