When does acid reflux affect the body?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Usually after meals that are spicy or that contain a lot of fat (or both). Both spices and fats cause relaxation of the sphincter (valve) that normally shuts the stomach off from the esophagus. They are not what causes the burning. It is caused by stomach acid that backs up into the esophagus. Acid reflux can mimic a heart attack, and vice versa. If the pain does not go away temporarily with with a change in position, or after drinking some water, you should treat it as heart attack symptoms. Reflux, left untreated, can cause chronic erosion of the esophagus, and has been implicated in cancer of the esophagus. It is easily treated with medication and minor diet changes. If you are experiencing it more than occasionally, you should consult a physician.

Well, acid reflux can be described as a painful problem in the chest and stomach. The habit of having large meals or the excessive consumption of alcohol and even coffee may be responsible for acid reflux. Pregnant women are also more likely to suffer from acid reflux due to hormonal changes during this period. Besides, acid reflux happens when you have stomach problems. There are some natural home remedies for acid reflux that are highly effective in dealing with the problem and prevent it from coming back.

1. Almond

Almond contains a high amount of oil that can help control the stomach acid and balance the pH level inside the body

2. Apple

Consuming just some slices of apple per day can help you get rid of pain caused by acid reflux. Apple can also control the production of acid in the stomach very quickly.

5. Baking Soda

It can take effects instantly and the irritating symptoms of acid reflux will disappear.

There are total 15 ways listed by Authority Remediesaccording to my knowledge.

Thank you.

Answer also: Highly recommended by my gastroenterologist was to take a probiotic EVERY day. You can take in capsule or liquid form. I also highly recommend apple cider vinegar as well as Kevita bottled drinks which contains apple cider vinegar and probiotics. Kombucha bottled drinks also work wonders but because it has black tea just be aware of the caffeine. DO NOT EAT MEAT, especially red meat and heavy meals late or close to bedtime. My gastro doc said do not eat after 7:00 pm.

Can gallbladder effect the stomach?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Naturally!

But what many people don't know, is:

the (bitter) bile juice

is the (overload) "abort" mechanism

for stomach & intestines.

If the gall bladder releases enough bile,

you cannot stop & prevent the convulsions

which will make you vomit &/or defecate.

Vomiting will stop once the bile juice comes

high enough into the throat,

usually the mouth.

I don't recommend eating or drinking anything after vomiting

for about an hour or 2,

because a calm (=peaceful, regulation)

has set in.

Another thing people don't know

is that very low fat diets

will cause a pain in your (right) side

(you guessed it)

by the gall bladder,

because bile binds with fat & oils;

but if there aren't enough there,

then it crystalizes (with (table) salt)

& gets stored as an acid

Some doctors have wrongly diagnosed liver cancer (without thorough testing),

later to be amazed by a speedy recovery.

If you suffer from side pains (in the right side)

caused by a low fat diet,

a spoon of mayonnaise can help in minutes,

or some salad oil.

Tip: avoid salt (NaCl), to reduce "excess" stomach acid (HCl),

produced by the chloride (Cl).

Acid Reflux?

No salt!

Works within a few days,

but most foods are unfortunately salted.

Good luck.

What are the cause effect and solution for acid rain?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

CAUSES:

The main cause of acid rain is pollution. When fossil fuels are burnt, or when vehicles exhaust systems release their fumes, gas emissions such as sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxides are released into the air, and and react with water, oxygen, and other chemicals in the atmosphere: this causes acid rain.

EFFECTS:

  • strips the natural nutrients in forest soils
  • harms ancient buildings and help decays modern ones
  • kills fish with the rise of acid in waterways
  • kills trees by stoping them from making food or taking in carbon dioxide and producing oxygen
  • causes problems for people who has asthma
  • causes other health problems such as headaches and dizziness

acid rain is caused by the fossil fuels that combine with rain and the effects of acid rain is that it destroys the streams and lakes,dams,rivers etc. do your own work, instead of looking for answers on the internet. so don't be lazy and do your own work for a change.....

Acid reflux and pregnancy?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No acid reflux don't have any effect like that whether you are pregnant or not. Acid reflux if you are not pregnant can be a sign that you are eating too much, too fatty or too spicy. The acid in the stomach can't break it down and the "mouth" of the stomach wont close properly.

How many inches should you raise your bed if you have acid reflux?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Raise the head of the bed by putting something sturdy under the legs of the head of the bed only. This will cause the bed to be slanted downhill towards your feet, rather than parallel to the floor. (It will not work for a waterbed.) Your esophagus will be higher than your stomach when you are lying down, which means the acid will have to go "uphill" to leave the stomach. You can also try using higher pillows, but raising the head of the bed is probably more comfortable. This will help prevent acid reflux, although you may need to also make dietary changes and/or take anti-acid medications.

What is severe acid reflux?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Severe acid reflux can lead to esophagitis. The esophagus is the tube that carries food from the mouth to the stomach. Muscles in the lower esophagus normally prevent stomach acid from coming back up into the esophagus, but when a person suffers from mild, moderate or severe acid reflux, the muscles do not stop the acid from entering the esophagus and this stomach acid can cause pain and inflammation of the esophagus, which is caused esophagitis. Managing acid reflux disease is all about preventing acid from leaking back up into the esophagus.

What virus is going around right now?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There seems to be a new type of flu/cold going around and it's nasty. The symptoms are upper and lower respiratory congestion; excessive nasal mucus and chest congestion. Breathing is raspy and difficult due to nasal mucus drainage to the lungs; sleeping is difficult because of wheezing and gurgling sounds. I'm on my 10 th day of this; there seems improvement.

I took my husband to the dr and he was given augmentin 500 mg, plus claritan d and was told to take musinex. He has a heart condition but was given claritin anyway which made his heart race. Do not take claritin D if you have a heart condition. We were also told that this was not contagious but guess what, I caught it!
