hi shelly it is moonstar again. i have some other questions pertaining to stomach problems. i dont know a lot about ph balance or imbalance but i have been reading about it.how does someone knowif they have symptoms of overly acid or not enough and how does someone know if they have symptoms of too much or not enough alkaline. i wrote you a pretty long message about my stomach problems so i guess that should give you an idea. my friend starlight who wrote to you seems to think that i am notproducing enough acid so that when an acidic food enters my body ,my body overcompensates by producing too much acid to combat the ingested acid.what would be symptoms of too much alkaline. i also notice from different websites i have checked that the advice offered to someone with my type of symptoms is to ingest lemon,orlemonade or tomatoes or vinegar. shelly if i ingested those foods i would be VERY sick. i dont understand. is the idea supposed to be that if a person ingests acidic food that the body wont over compensate.thanks moonstar1313.
