    Acid Reflux Disease – Bubbling Stomach Acid

    Heartburn on overdrive!

    Acid reflux disease is a result of stomach acid that simply doesn’t stay where it is supposed to… in the stomach. Instead of staying in the stomach the wayward gastric acid decides to back flow up the esophagus and back into the mouth.

    Yuck!

    Leaving a wickedly bitter taste, this stomach acid on a reverse course can actually leaves pockets of erosive destruction in its wake. Erosive esophagitis is a result of the destruction of the lining of the esophagus.

    At least three months of painful, persistent and frequent heartburn, can earn you a diagnosis of acid reflux disease.

    Heartburn is the quiet gentle cousin of its more aggressive and destructive family member acid reflux disease. Bubbling stomach acid regurgitates from the stomach sending the gastric juices back into the throat via the esophagus. It is the bubbling stomach acid that backs up into the esophagus that causes the characteristic burn of acid reflux disease.

    The lower esophageal sphincter, LES, is the valve separating the esophagus and the stomach, is designed to be the gatekeeper of the stomach and is meant to keep the stomach acids in the stomach where they belong.

    However, when the LES fails at its ever so well designed job, the stomach acids back flow.

    The LES can fail through a couple of different ways, such as through relaxation of the sphincter, often associated with a hiatal hernia, and through incomplete closing of the sphincter.

    The body is so perfectly designed that the LES is a working valve that opens to let food into the stomach and is meant to close to keep the acids out of the esophagus.

    It just happens that when it fails, acid reflux disease or gastroesophageal reflux disease, GERD, can be the result. So basically if the LES would do its job and keep the valve open when it’s supposed to be open and closed when it’s supposed to be closed then acid reflux disease would really be a thing of the past!

    The good news is that you don’t have to put up with heartburn on overdrive. There are many treatment options available for the relief of this pestering and chronic disease.

    Acid reflux disease doesn’t have to control your life! Talk with your healthcare provider today and get started on the road to better health.

    Show that heartburn just who’s the boss!

    What Causes Acid Reflux?

    By Brian on Friday, December 10th, 2010 | No Comments

    Though the root causes are often unclear, perhaps the most prevalent acid reflux cause is a poor diet. Acid reflux occurs during digestion, when the stomach churns up acid or refluxes it into the esophagus, causing a burning sensation in the chest or throat. So if you eat too many highly acidic foods like tomato sauces and/or fatty, fried foods, the stomach has to process an overabundance of acid. Too much acid can push back through a valve between the stomach and the esophagus called the lower esophageal sphincter (LES). Acid reflux culprits include but are not limited to tomato based sauces, fried and fatty foods, chocolate, alcohol, citrus fruits, peppers, and caffeinated beverages.

    Along the same lines as diet, overeating also causes reflux. When you overeat, the stomach can’t keep up with the demand to process all the acids. So food gets backed up, and digestive acids infiltrate the esophageal valve to cause that unpleasant burning feeling centered in the chest.

    Also diet-related, another acid reflux cause is being overweight. There is a clear correlation between being overweight and a notable increase in the occurrence of acid reflux. Many believe this is because the extra weight puts more pressure on the stomach and esophagus. This pressure has been known to open the lower esophageal sphincter (esophagus valve), when the valve should be closed. This allows acid to escape into the esophagus.

    Other factors that create a predisposition for acid reflux include smoking, use of alcohol, food allergies, certain medications, and lying down after meals. As you can tell, most of these factors can be overcome by practicing some behavioral modifications. In fact, in many cases of recurrent acid reflux, lifestyle changes are all that is necessary in preventing heartburn from becoming a chronic disease. Remember to consult a physician before embarking on any treatment strategy.

    Acid Reflux – Stop The Progress Of Acid Manufacturing

    By Brian on Thursday, December 9th, 2010 | No Comments

    The possible health risks connected with untreated indigestion are well documented, but acid reflux should serve as a tough reminder of those suffering from it, that they need to do something to correct the condition. Heartburn is usually caused by stomach acid being refluxed into the esophagus and nauseating its lining. It is characteristically a severe burning sensation that will hardly ever collapse on its own.

    Like most fitness issues, acid reflux is a means the body uses to communicate that there is a problem calls for attention. While there is a direct cause for the this problem, it is not always present. In the case of hidden heartburn, a person may not experience acid pain in the stomach; rather they may have an unmanageable cough or have to clear their throat frequently. If these symptoms persist, it is advisable to seek medical attention.

    Acid reflux is a situation of the uppermost part of the digestive system. Specially, this means the stomach and the esophagus. This reflux of acid causes a smoldering feeling due to the stomach acid flowing into the esophagus. If left untreated this condition may cause ulceration of the esophagus lining.

    Therapeutic Source of Repairing Esophagus

    To understand the causes of heartburn a simple anatomy lesson is needed. When food enters the stomach, it passes through the esophageal sphincter. The esophageal sphincter then closes, allowing for digestion to take place. Sometimes, certain foods and situations can cause the esophageal sphincter to weaken or pressure pushes it open. When this occurs, the contents of the stomach or stomach juices are able to rise back up through the esophageal sphincter. These are the true causes of heartburn.

    Other Conditions:

    The condition of acid/gastroesophageal reflux can be a very uncomfortable, painful and sometimes severe condition. The area of the body that is most affected by this condition is the esophagus. When an individual suffers from gastroesophageal reflux they usually experience a assistance up of acid from the abdomen into the esophagus and possibly the mouth. For more info see http://www.treatacidreflux.org/symptoms/Sleep_apnea_and_acid_reflux.html on Sleep apnea effect acid reflux.

    Acid reflux can be experienced due to a number of reasons. Some of those reasons include overindulge and the eating of wrong foods. Some of those foods that may cause acidity include sharp foods and caffeine. Other lifestyle actions that may cause acidity can include smoking.

    One should also avoid wearing tight fitting clothes, as they tend to put more pressure on the stomach and pushes up the acidic content. The regular use of tight fitting clothes can lead to acid reflux.

    Obesity can trigger acid reflux in many cases. Hence try to keep the weight under control. In fact, studies have shown that even a moderate increase in the weight can result in an increase risk of acid reflux. Hence one should try to keep a stable weight. Also if one is over weight or obese, head to the nearest gym and start knocking off that lard.

    Avoid smoking and drinking alcohol. Both are known to relax the muscles of lower esophageal sphincter thus aiding acid reflux. Also both alcohol and cigarettes are known for creating other medical complications. Hence they should be avoided.
