Question 8

what are the symptoms of urich acid?

Accepted Answer

Uric acid: I suspect you mean uric acid.  We all have some uric acid in our blood, it's a byproduct of the metabolism of living.  In certain people, the uric acid concentration become so high that uric acid gets deposited in undesireable locations, particularly the joints - so called gout!.  But it can be deposited in other locations like around the ears and elbows.  It also appears to inflame blood vessels!

Question 9

what is in the yogurt that makes the acid subside?

Accepted Answer

A couple of ideas: Yogurt contains lactobacilli which, by many, are considered probiotics...substances which confer a beneficial effect in a person's body.  These favorable bacteria can reduce inflammation and promote recovery from viral infection, travel and antibiotic use.  Additionally, yogurt (and other dairy products such as milk and cheese) can buffer stomach acid, raising pH, and improving probiotic survival.

Question 10

what foods are i allowed to eat that are not acid?

Accepted Answer

Most foods are fine: There are few foods which you might call 'acidic'. This may include oranges and other tart foods. Most of the acidity in our stomach is produced from the normal acid secretions of the stomach which can bother some folks especially if they have acid reflux problems. This can be easily controlled with antacids like zantac (ranitidine) or pepcid. Prilosec is even more effective.
