Low acidity while water fasting
I recently decided to go thru a 5 day water fast. On the 3rd day of the fast I noticed burning and felt acid reflux. I checked online and found that this is due to low acid levels in stomach. I took some ACV diluted in water and the issue was resolved temporarily. I couldn't drink water much as whenever I did so the problem used to resurface. Can you please suggest what can be done to prevent this? Is my water too alkaline? Any medications? Right now I am out of the fast and have no issues. It's only when fasting.
