Why do you keep getting heartburn and feeling sick?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

You may be eating too much starch and glutens (bread). If this is the case, you should try going on a strict diet and not eating any of it. If this is not the case, i recommend that you see a doctor or a professional health scientist. They may be able to give you the best solutions, and help you keep track of all of the glutens you eat. At the store, try to get snacks that have a label that says gluten free. I hope you get better! Bye!

Will massage help heartburn?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A person with frequent heartburn, or gastrointestinal esophageal reflux disease (GERD), is not contraindicated for massage. What would be appropriate is to wait at least two hours after their last meal, and then massage as usual with less pressure on the abdomen and a focus on relaxation.

GERD can be a result of a cardioesophageal sphincter that is not closing tightly enough to hold the contents of the stomach from regurgutating up into the esophagus. Or, it can be as a result of a hiatal hernia, or both. In either case, the treatment is the same, as mentioned above.
