Horrible heartburn for months.
TUMS?
You are only dealing with the symtoms here... which happen to be standard candida symptoms.. Do you really think that TUMS is the magical solution?

Read Best of Shelley (TOP of this page): "How to Improve Digestion"
Digestive acidity is a standard symptom of candida and associated liver malfunction

Coffee is a NO NO.. turn to herb tea, if you badly need the cafeine, try green tea which is good for candida diet.

Coffee in the enemas does not get assimilated. It just gets into the intestines where it changes the ph (adicidy)
For candida does not develop in the acidic stomach environment but in the intestines.
An enema will reach there, while coffee in your stomach will not help at all.

On a recent television documentary --infomercial on a book being sold now called something like,, "Cures they dont want us to know"

The moderator mentioned that Actually the best cure for acid reflux is not Tums-- but Apple Cidar Vinegar in water (The old fashioned type applecidar vinegar-- such as unrefined applecidar vinegar with the 'mother' still in it that makes it look cloudy)

Tums does initially work- because it quickly wipes out ALL acid in the digestive system. However, the digestive system panics because the balance is drastically altered, and so it over-compensates and creates much more acid to counter the effect of the Tums. So Tums actually backfires on itself. It is a quick temporary fix that keeps adding 'fuel to the fire"-- and you become dependent on it.

Best to stick with the foods and drinks that don't create more acid in your body. White Wine vinegar as well as Malt vinegar actually create more acid in your body. Best to stick with Balsamic vinegar and Apple Cidar Vinegar.

If you are a coffee lover- have the occasional black coffee (sweetened with Stevia) once a month on a special day you look forward to. The rest of the time, you may want to try some of the Celestial Seasoning teas that have barley, chickory and hops herbs added---giving a fresh roasted taste to tide you over til that one day a month you allow yourself a cup of coffee.

Hi
I stopped drinking coffee a couple years ago and started drinking Teecino. It is an herbal drink that tastes similar to coffee and is alkaline. Good for digestion and tastes great. You can get it at your local health food store.
