Burning chest, sour taste, heaviness after meals, throat irritation — antacids only mask the problem. Our root-cause diagnostics find why your stomach produces excess acid and fix it with a personalised 120-day protocol.
15-min call to discover guaranteed relief · ₹49
These symptoms are your body signalling a deeper imbalance. Our root-cause diagnostics based treatment delivers drastic symptom reduction in 120 days.
A persistent burning in your chest, throat, or upper stomach — especially after meals
Sour or bitter taste in your mouth from stomach acid flowing back up
Feeling uncomfortably full, puffy, or heavy even after small meals
Frequent nausea, especially in the morning or after eating — a sign of excess acid
Chronic sore throat, hoarseness, or a lump-in-throat feeling from acid damage
Waking up with acid in your throat, coughing, or disrupted sleep from reflux
Relying on Pantoprazole, Omeprazole, or antacids daily with no permanent relief
Avoiding meals, social eating, or specific foods out of fear of triggering acidity
No more random supplements. No more generic advice. A data-driven, clinically backed protocol built around your gut.
Comprehensive gut health testing that analyses your microbiome, inflammation markers, and digestive function to identify root causes
Our specialists review your diagnostic results, map your triggers, and identify the exact imbalances driving your symptoms
A tailored 120-day treatment plan with targeted interventions, dietary adjustments, and monthly progress tracking
Join thousands who went from daily burning to medication-free, symptom-free living.
Was on Pantoprazole daily for 3 years. Sova's diagnostics found H. pylori and a gut bacterial overgrowth causing my reflux. 120 days on their protocol — I'm completely medication-free and eating everything again.
I couldn't sleep without propping up 3 pillows. Acid would wake me at 2am gasping. Sova found my lower oesophageal sphincter was weakened by chronic SIBO. Their protocol fixed both — I sleep flat now, zero reflux.
I'd eliminated coffee, spicy food, citrus — anything that triggered the burn. After Sova's microbiome treatment, I eat what I want. No burning, no bloating, no regurgitation. It's been 6 months and I'm still clear.
Chronic sore throat and hoarse voice — my ENT couldn't figure it out. Turns out it was silent reflux damaging my throat. Sova's root-cause approach healed it completely in under 90 days.
Work stress would trigger acid attacks. I was popping Eno and Gelusil 3-4 times daily. Sova showed me the gut-brain connection was the real issue. Their protocol addressed both — I handle stress better and my stomach is calm.

Why antacids and PPIs aren't fixing the problem — and what will.
Your stomach naturally produces hydrochloric acid (HCl) to digest food and kill pathogens. This process is tightly regulated by a complex interplay of nerves, hormones, and — crucially — your gut microbiome. The trillions of bacteria in your digestive tract influence gastric acid secretion, lower oesophageal sphincter (LES) function, and inflammatory responses. When this microbial community is disrupted, the delicate acid-balance tips, leading to excess acid production, weakened barriers, and the burning, regurgitation, and discomfort of chronic acidity.
Acid reflux occurs when stomach acid flows back into the oesophagus. While occasional reflux is normal, chronic reflux (GERD) is almost always driven by an underlying gut issue. The most common bacterial root causes are:
Reduced diversity in gut bacteria — from poor diet, medications, or lifestyle — leads to increased inflammation, impaired digestion, and a weakened oesophageal barrier. This creates a cycle where reflux damages tissue, worsening dysbiosis further.
Helicobacter pylori colonises the stomach lining, disrupting acid regulation and causing chronic gastritis. Over 50% of chronic acidity cases involve H. pylori, yet it's often missed by standard blood tests. Accurate detection requires a urea breath test or stool antigen test.
When bacteria overgrow in the small intestine, they ferment food and produce hydrogen and methane gas. This gas increases intra-abdominal pressure, pushing stomach acid upward through the LES — causing reflux even when acid levels are normal.
Your gut produces most of your body's serotonin and communicates constantly with your brain via the vagus nerve. Chronic stress raises cortisol, increases gastric acid secretion, weakens the gut barrier, and amplifies the perception of acid-related pain.
Proton pump inhibitors (Pantoprazole, Omeprazole) and antacids (Eno, Gelusil) reduce acid production but don't address why your body is producing excess acid. Worse, long-term PPI use has been shown to further disrupt the gut microbiome — reducing beneficial bacteria, increasing SIBO risk, and impairing mineral absorption. This creates a dependency cycle: stopping PPIs causes "rebound acid hypersecretion," making symptoms temporarily worse and reinforcing the belief that you need the medication.
The Sova approach identifies the root cause — whether it's H. pylori, SIBO, dysbiosis, or a combination — and treats it with a personalised 120-day protocol. The goal is complete resolution and medication-free living, not lifelong symptom management.
Anti-inflammatory foods — omega-3 fatty acids from fish, olive oil, nuts, and seeds help calm gut inflammation and support the oesophageal lining.
Fermented foods — yogurt, kefir, and buttermilk introduce beneficial bacteria that compete with H. pylori and regulate acid production.
Smaller, frequent meals — reduce stomach distension and lower the pressure that pushes acid upward.
Stress management — meditation, exercise, and adequate sleep directly reduce cortisol-driven acid oversecretion.
Processed & fried foods — slow digestion, increase intra-abdominal pressure, and promote harmful bacterial growth.
Caffeine & alcohol — relax the lower oesophageal sphincter, making reflux more likely regardless of acid levels.
Late-night eating — lying down within 2-3 hours of eating allows gravity-assisted reflux.
Long-term PPI overuse — disrupts the microbiome, increases SIBO risk, and creates rebound acid dependency.
Some chronic conditions — such as GERD, Lax LES (Lower Oesophageal Sphincter), Hiatal Hernia, Barrett's Oesophagus, and Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome — have acidity and reflux as persistent symptoms. While these underlying structural or genetic conditions may not be fully reversible, significant and sustained relief is achievable through targeted diet and lifestyle modifications, microbiome restoration, and structured gut health protocols. Our discovery call helps identify whether your acidity has a reversible root cause or requires a long-term management approach — so you get the right plan from day one.
Dietary changes help — but if you've been dealing with chronic acidity for months or years, there's likely an underlying infection or microbial imbalance that needs professional diagnosis. Our ₹49 discovery call is designed to find it.
