I don't know what to do it is very uncomfortable I have to be eating tums all day because of the sour tast in my mouth and tongue. any suggestions. Please help desperate.
Dear Susan: Nexium isn't going to help you that much. You need to solve the cause. The acid taste is excess acid buildup in your body. Take 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda plus 1/2 glass of water twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening. Continue to do this for 2 weeks before you noticed an improvement. Always try to add a pinch of potassium citrate, or potassium bicarbonate if you can find it. Apple cider sometimes helps too, but just stick to the baking soda first. Certain supplements seem to control pH, such as molybdenum and certain foods such as watermelon. People who are acid forming, need to avoid acid forming food like milk, bread, and sugar.
