ADD TOP 7 FOODS TO YOUR DIET For Acid Reflux


You may experience heartburn, bitter taste in back of your throat, sore throat, and cough, sour taste in mouth and burning sensation in breastbone. Yes, these all are the symptoms of Acid Reflux, a common medical condition that occurs when the stomach acid – helps in food digestion – flows back into the esophagus. This backflow of stomach acid happens because the Lower Esophagus Sphincter (LES) becomes weaken or damaged, as it is a circular muscle that joins your stomach and esophagus and it is responsible for tightening the esophagus after the food passes to stomach. If it becomes weak and isn’t tightens properly then the acidic contents from the stomach move backward to the esophagus. Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) is a chronic and severe form of Acid Reflux. The medical condition of GERD occurs when you experience Acid Reflux more often than twice a week which causes inflammation in the lining of esophagus.

Heartburn pills in pregnancy may be linked to childhood asthma


Children born to mothers who take heartburn medication during pregnancy may have a greater risk of developing asthma, research suggests.

Those whose mothers had been prescribed medicines to treat acid reflux during pregnancy were more likely to be treated for asthma in childhood, a review of studies found.

However, experts say the potential link -- which came to light by reviewing studies that had examined health records -- is not conclusive.

They say that the association could be caused by a separate, linked factor and that further research is needed to determine whether the medicines affect the health of children.

Mothers-to-be should follow existing guidelines -- to use the medicines as required -- and consult with a doctor or nurse if symptoms persist, they recommend.

Heartburn is caused by stomach acid passing from the stomach back into the esophagus -- the tube that connects the stomach to the throat. The condition is very common in pregnancy because of hormonal changes and pressure on the stomach from the growing womb.
