WHAT IS ACID REFLUX

Acid reflux is a common digestive condition that characterizes a sensational burning pain in the chest area known as heartburn. It occurs when the acid in the stomach enters into the food pipe.

Generally, most people get confused about the difference between Acid Reflux, Gastro esophageal reflux disease (GERD) and Heartburn.

The word acid reflux, GERD and heartburn are often used without differentiation but these three digestive disorders are different from one another. It’s normal to have experience heartburn at some point in life-that burning sensational pain you feel in the chest after a sumptuous meal. While having this pains occasional might not mean anything serious, but when the sensational pain occurs more than once or twice in a week or becomes something that disturbs your sleep, that is sure thing to worry about and might indicate you have gastro esophageal reflux disease (GERD).  At this stage, it is advised to visit the doctor.

––––––––

Acid reflux is a condition or disease that causes you heartburn. It is the major reason you are experiencing that symptoms because stomach acid has escaped into the esophagus. Naturally when food is consumed, it is expected to be transported to the stomach through the esophageal.  Lower esophageal sphincter (LES) is a collection of muscles that gives way for the fluid or food to pass through the stomach and obstruct any content from the stomach from entering the esophagus.

Reflux is a declining condition of the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) and whenever you experience Acid reflux does not translate to a chronic condition. Whenever there is a malfunctioning in the function of the LES, what you are experiencing is a reflux. So, whether you have reflux once a month or once a year, the bottom line is you are still regarded to have acid reflux.

Heartburn is one of the many symptom of acid reflux and gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD) and the most common of the all. Heartburn is never a disease or condition.  It is a situation where you have a burning pain in the lower chest as results of the stomach contents finding a way into the esophagus.

GERD is a chronic digestive condition affecting the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) that cause the continuous inflow of stomach acid into the esophagus. Most patient are diagnosed with GERD if they frequently experience heartburn or other reflux symptoms, like two times or more in a week. It may not be necessary to treat Acid reflux, but treating GERD is important.

Sadly more than 100 million Americans have acid reflux without realizing they have this condition

CAUSES OF ACID REFLUX

Why do we have so many people with acid reflux condition? Acid reflux condition may be as a result of many reasons.

Let’s see some of common causes of acid reflux disease. One major reason is the increased rate of acid in most of the foods we eat, especially canned or bottled foods

In this present era, some of the so called canned or bottled foods contain as much acid as that of the stomach itself.

Stomach abnormalities: This is another reason for acid reflux disease known as hiatal hernia.  Hiatal hernia occurs as a result of the higher section of the stomach and lower esophageal sphincter (LES) moved above the diaphragm. These abnormalities can happen in persons of any age.

Diaphragm: This is the muscle enclosure that divides the stomach and the chest. A proper functional diaphragm usually helps prevent acid from springing up into the esophagus. But hiatal hernia condition will make it easy for acid to rise into your esophagus.

Smoking. Smoking may be a contributing factor to acid reflux condition through any of the following:

Reducing salivation, which neutralizes the effect of acid

Reducing LES muscle function

Increasing acid secretion

Impairing muscle reflexes in the throat

Damaging mucus membranes

Pregnancy: Most pregnant women encounter acid reflux, especially during their first pregnancy period. This occurs by rising levels of hormones integrating with pressure from the developing fetus.  Worst during the third trimester, the symptoms usually almost vanished after delivery.

Other Common Causes Of Acid Reflux Disease Include:

Obesity or overweight 

Eating a sumptuous meal and lying down on your back after meal

Going to bed immediately after eating or lying down immediately after a meal

Taking some certain blood pressure medications or muscle relaxers

Some of the common Symptoms of Acid Reflux Disease

Heartburn: It’s a condition where you have a burning pain in the lower chest as a result of the stomach contents finding a way into the esophagus.

Regurgitation:

Regurgitation is the forcibly ejection of food from the stomach or esophagus without nausea.

Other symptoms of acid reflux disease include:

Chronic sore throat

Dry cough

Wheezing

Hoarseness

Weight loss

Nausea

Hiccups that don't let up

Dysphagia—a physical feeling of food being stuck in your throat

Burping

Bloody vomiting or Bloody or black stools 

Bloating

Chest pain

List Of Some Of The Common Foods That Trigger Acid Reflux Symptoms:

Citrus fruits, such as lemons or oranges

Coffee or tea (decaffeinated or regular)

Chocolate

Carbonated beverages

Alcohol

Fried orFatty foods

Foods containing tomato, such as pizza, salsa, or spaghetti sauce

Garlic and onions

Mint

Spicy foods

Excessive alcohol drinking can also heighten the risk of esophageal cancer. Regular drinkers have a greater risk than occasional drinkers. When excessive drinking is mixed with smoking, the risk becomes greater than using either tobacco or alcohol alone.

––––––––

Ways To Prevention Heartburn

Limit the amount of food you eat to smaller Servings.

Be sensitive to food that triggers your heartburn. There is a long list of heartburn triggering by researchers, study list to know what triggers your heartburn.

These includes spicy foods, alcohol, carbonated beverages, citrus fruits and juices, coffee and caffeine, tomato sauce chocolate, mint, and fatty foods.

Fatty foods takes longer time leaving the stomach; therefore, reduce the overall  amount of fatty food consumption by cutting down the amount of fatty meats, oils , butter, margarine, gravy, salad dressings, and full-fat dairy/milk products like whole milk, cheese and sour cream.

Rely on Gravity

A good way to suppress nighttime reflux is by making use of gravity, you can use a wedge-shaped pillow to lift up your upper body at night. You can also add few inches to the head of your bed to elevate and help keep stomach contents from rising. 

Try to always remain upright after a meal. You can take a brief walk after a big meal without overdoing it.
