Acid Reflux

yes, acid reflux can be treated. I prevent my acid reflux with Gaviscon and stop the pain after feeling it with prevacid. I do not believe acid reflux can be completely cured but it can be very well controlled.

NO! Peaches are very acidic, I don't suggest it.

Acid Reflux is referred to as GERD (gastro-esophageal reflux disease) but it is most commonly known as heartburn (symptom of reflux).

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.

Formic acid, also known as methanoic acid, but that is not the only active ingredient. Nettle sting also contains seratonin and histamine. There are also traces of oxalic acid and tartaric acid.

Acid reflux disease in sometimes known as GERD. For your convenience, I have provided a link that shoud help you manage acid reflux disease: n.about.com/cs/dietfood/a/heartburnfoods1.htm

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.

There is an article at http://www.christinas-home-remedies.com/acid-reflux-home-remedies.html that lists many safe and effective methods for acid reflux. This article also gives you a lot of other information about acid reflux.

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.

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.

Ye, they give it to you in the ER, and prescription ongoing; it starts wi a "C", . Also cherries are the A #1 treatment for gout, and gout's pain. In any form, it's a miracle worker.Always, pray, that's the greatest power you ever have.

No the hydrochloric acid in your stomach is far more acidic than vinegar. The stomach has a lining which is resistant to acid for this very reason.

Not for most people, no.

GERD (gastro esophageal reflux disease), stomach contents passing into the esophagus, is usually not cured with medications. The factors that contribute to GERD are the lower esophageal sphincter tone, hiatal hernias, esophageal contractions, and emptying of the stomach. To cure it you'd have to have surgery to reinforce the lower esophageal shpincter.

Most people find that the symptoms of chest pain, heartburn, throat discomfort/ hoarseness and swallowing problems can be treated by decreasing the acidityof the stomach contents with medications such as Zantac (ranitidine) and Prilosec (omeprazole). Usually after a short course the symptoms resolve and the medication can be stopped. Most people find that acidic foods such as tomato sauce, citrus and carbonated beverages make it worse. In additions large meals, fatty meals and lying down with food in the stomach increase the reflux and so make it worse. Acidic foods, alcohol and NSAIDs (Aspirin, ibuprofen, Aleve, naproxen) injure the stomach lining and so make symptoms worse. Caffiene (as is found in Coke) relaxes the lower esophgeal sphincter and so increases the amount refluxed.

There is a theory, held by a small number of people and virtually no well respected experts, that the symptoms are from insufficient stomach acid and so taking acids in the form of apple cider vinegar (and I guess Coke according to the questioner) will help. If this was the case then one would expect the medications like Tums and Zantac to make thing sworse, not better.

While it is possible that there is a small group of people who have the opposite from the more common problem, for the vast majority of peope with stomach problems vinegar and soda should be avoided.

Soda is very acidic and would probably be a poor choice for someone with acid reflux. You'd be much better off with water so you don't get all of that acid, sugar, and empty calories anyway.

Several ways to reduce acid reflux is to make lifestyle changes. Some changes that could be made are reducing stress, exercising, weight loss, and changing what foods you eat.

a loose 'lower esophageal sphincter' (LES)

LES is the closure between your stomach and your esophagus. It could be due to a bunch of random reasons like a hernia, a loose diaphragm, or other. If u have gerd, go get it checked out. a third of patients can feel the acid burning their throat and the damage is worse than it feels. They might put u on a proton pump inhibitor like omeprazole (or something else that ends in "eprazole")

To prevent acid reflux, you need to stop eating foods that produce acid. For example, citrus, coffee, and spicy foods all contribute to acid reflux. You should cut out or minimize these in your diet.

Acid reflux disease is a medical condition that causes chronic heartburn and regurgitation. It can be treated with dietary changes such as eating smaller meals and meals with low fat and high protein content. The benefit of treating the condition with a diet change are that it removes the need for long term medication.

Absolutely -- a dog certainly can get acid reflux. Mine has had it for years as a result of some chronic g/i issues. Talk to you vet about some of the human over-the-counter reflux medicines that are safe for dogs to take such as Pepcid, Prilosec as well as a few others. Your vet will recommend the correct dosage for your dog based on weight. You also need to describe the symptoms to your vet to help determine what the underlying cause of the reflux is since reflux may (or may not) be symptomatic of a deeper issue.

Acid reflux can be triggered by various foods, most notably those that are spicy. In addition, acidic foods, such as tomatoes and oranges, or high-fat foods, such as poutine, can triffer acid reflux.

No, it cannot. It will end up in your mouth.

The burning sensation is that the acid attacks the nerve endings near the skin.

An acid can do harm in many ways with you skin. It can dehydrate organic compounds and change them into carbon. An acid can react with the water in your skin to generate heat to kill cells.

Hydrofluoric acid does even more -- it penetrates tissue until it reaches the bones; HF reacts with the calcium in the blood and the bone to cause more damage; worse that one does not feel the pain initially to react quickly.

It is usually not too high of acidity that causes acid reflux. Acid reflux is a product of a faulty cardiac sphincter, which allows the highly acidic chyme to flow back into the esophagus. Your esophagus is not protected from the acid like your stomach is with the stomach lining of mucus. The pH range of stomach acid is about 1.5-2, which is strong enough to dissolve iron nails.
