Acid Reflux Causes, Symptoms And Treatment


By philipjoseph at 2009-11-03 01:03:32
Commonly referred to as GERD or acid reflux, gastroesophageal reflux disease is an uncomfortable condition where the liquid that is in a person’s stomach backs up or “refluxes” into the esophagus. Causing inflammation and damage to the esophagus lining in some patients, this can range from mild and uncomfortable to a very serious problem. Since this liquid is filled with both pepsin and acid and even bile, the reflux can cause pain and burning sensations.

Although acid reflux can be controlled through the means of medical treatments and appropriate diet, some people who suffer from severe forms of the condition may require acid reflux surgery. Acid reflux has a recidivating character and surgery is the best means of fully overcoming the condition. There are several medical procedures in acid reflux surgery and the most effective ones are Laparoscopic anti-reflux surgery, also known as Laparoscopic Nissen Fundoplication and Intraluminal Endoscopic surgery.

The symptoms of silent acid reflux may include hoarseness or trouble talking, particularly in the morning. These symptoms are caused by stomach acid reaching and irritating the voice box. People sometimes have difficulty swallowing or excess mucus in the throat and possibly drainage from the sinuses. They may feel the need to clear their throats often or cough frequently. Because it is stomach acid that causes the symptoms, an effective silent acid reflux remedy reduces or prevents excess stomach acid.

Most doctors and other healthcare professionals recommend that in order to control symptoms, an acid reflux diet should exclude certain foods that are known to increase stomach acid. Tomatoes and citrus fruits for instance are highly acidic. So is chocolate. And fried or fatty foods can also increase stomach acid and worsen symptoms. It may be possible to create your own acid reflux diet and find foods that cure acid reflux in your case. A food and symptoms diary is often recommended for this purpose.

There are many factors that can trigger acid reflux in a person. Diet is one of them. Since acid reflux is an ailment associated with the stomach, whatever that goes into the stomach is bound to create an effect on acid reflux. The fast food fad that is rapidly gaining importance in the urban dietary patterns is one major cause of acid reflux. Not only is fast food low in fiber and nutritional contents, but also is also very oily and spicy. Oily and spicy food can trigger off acid reflux in many cases. Similarly, beverages like soft drinks and juices made from citric fruits such as lime and orange are known to cause acid reflux.

There are various drugs that can be taken as a relief to such a situation, one of the most common drugs is Histamine Receptor Antagonists, and this type of drug actually works as it decreases the amount of acid the stomach produces. It gives a relief in conditions where the stomach produces excessive acids and the acid comes up into esophagus. A histamine antagonist is one of the most effective drugs, as it stimulates acid production released within the stomach wall. Histamine Antagonists work by blocking the receptors of histamine

It is regarded as most beneficial and an effective way of correct the activity of the stomach and of dealing with the condition, to keep a balanced diet and to use natural cures for this problem. The best way to mitigate its effects is to eat a balanced diet that helps restrict the over production of gastric acids. As mentioned before, fruits and vegetables are good when it comes to controlling the effects.
