What do you do if you aspirate stomach acid into your lungs?

I have struggled with aspiration of stomach acid for many years now. Unfortunately, there is not much that you can do. It always starts in my sleep, I wake up coughing then gagging then usually ends with vomiting. I drink some water eat some Tums or Rolaids and sit up on the couch for a while. The burning in the lungs is always intense And takes a while to clear. Keep coughing up everything you can. There is a risk after this of developing pneumonia so if you develop fever/chills wheezing, shortness of breath see your doctor. I take two 15mg Prevacid a day and rarely have problems. I say rarely, but I'm up tonight playing the aspiration game. I ran out of Prevacid yesterday. My fault!

What happens when body rejects food through feeding tube?

Sh*ts his pant mybe.Scentist just have recently found out this happens to a lucky 1 out of a 100 people.

My sister was unfortunate enough to have this happen to her. She suffered from delayed gastric emptying -- basically her digestive system didn't move food through. She went through virtually all formulas on the market and ended up going to IV nutrition. If the question is looking for what you can do to address intolerance, here's some ideas:

If the problem is an emptying problem like hers or a malabsorption problem, they have "elemental" formulas that are already partially broken down, so it's easier for the body to digest. So, that is one option. Another option is adding things to the formula or taking medications to address whatever issues the formula is causing. So, if it's constipation for example, there's powdered fiber you can add. If the problem is an intolerance to the ingredients, there's a great formula called Compleat that contains mostly real food. Some people also actually puree and make their own tube food. Obviously, it's important to consult your doctor before trying anything new and to regularly check up on the patient's nutritional health.

If none of those options work and no formula or supplement combinations work, there is an option of IV nutrition. You can actually get full nutrition through your veins. It's not ideal and there are risks and side effects, but it can be a relief to someone who's been miserable on tube feedings.

If the question was just looking for what happens to the body when it "rejects" the formula, it's generally vomiting, diahhrea, and/or severe bloating. Other symptoms might include constipation and nausea.

What do you call an incision in the stomach?

At the top of the stomach where it connects to the esophagus is a sphincter. At the lower end of the stomach where it connects to the small intestines is a second sphincter. Both of these openings will open to let material pass through, then close to prevent back-flow. Acid Reflux occurs when stomach acids leak through the faulty sphincter and the acids irritate the esophagus.
