Cruciferous vegetables such as kale, cabbage, collards, broccoli, cauliflower and turnips are twice powerful as other plant foods.

While PPIs such as omeprazole (Prilosec), esomeprazole (Nexium), lansoprazole (Prevacid), pantaprazole (Protonix) and others may be somewhat more powerful acid suppressives than H2As, PPIs have many side effects including bloating, abdominal pain, and diarrhea, and are believed to be associated with osteoporosis (bone thinning and bone loss) and B12 deficiency. When PPIs are discontinued, many patients experience rebound, developing hyperacidity and recurrent reflux symptoms. There is reason to believe that the increasing rates of esophageal cancer may be related to the use of PPIs. [2014] - Jamie Koufman

Vitamins are classified as either water-soluble or fat-soluble. For people, there are 13 vitamins: 4 are fat-soluble (A, D, E, and K) and 9 are water-soluble (eight B vitamins and vitamin C).
