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.

TOP 7 FOODS THAT HELP IN REDUCING SYMPTOMS OF ACID REFLUX:

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.

HOW CAN YOU PREVENT GALLSTONES BY FOLLOWING 3 BEST PREVENTIVE MEASURES?

Gallbladder is a small, sac-shaped organ that stores bile, an enzyme to digest the food and it is made in the liver. The small particles that form in the gallbladder are known as Gallstones. Usually these stones are harmless and often do not cause any pain but when the gallbladder becomes too large that it blocks the bile duct -a tube that carries bile to small intestine – and prevents the bile to move from the gallbladder to small intestine where it is needed to breakdown the food then a patient may need to have a surgery for treatment of Gallstones. Obviously, this is a situation that majority of patients prefer to avoid, leaving them to wonder: how can I prevent Gallstones?

FORTUNATELY, THERE ARE PREVENTIVE MEASURES THAT PEOPLE CAN FOLLOW TO AVOID THE FORMATION OF STONES IN THEIR GALLBLADDER. HERE ARE THOSE PREVENTIVE MEASURES:

WHY JAUNDICE HAPPENS IN ADULTS & WHAT ARE ITS CAUSES?

If you have Jaundice then you are most likely to have your skin and the white part of your eyes turns to yellow. The condition is most common in newborn babies but people of all ages including adults get it, too. Jaundice is caused by build-up of bilirubin – a yellow pigment – in the blood and the tissues of the body. This build-up of bilirubin is often due to certain other conditions that affect your liver, gallbladder, pancreas or blood, such as hepatitis, gallstones or cirrhosis. If you are experiencing the symptoms of Jaundice then the doctor devises treatment plan for the underlying condition that is causing it instead of the Jaundice itself.

Let’s find out what exactly causing Jaundice in adults, its diagnosis and treatment:

WHY DO ADULTS GET JAUNDICE?

Old red blood cells travel to the liver, where they naturally breakdown. Bilirubin is a yellow pigment that is produced as a waste by-product through the process of breakdown of these old red blood cells. When red blood cells die, the liver filters them out of the body through urine or stool. But when your liver can’t perform this function properly in the way it’s supposed to due to any reason then bilirubin starts build up in the blood and body tissues, causing your skin and whites of eyes to look yellow.

Diarrhea

Several soft, semiformed stools each day or frequent, watery stools throughout the day and even the night is generally called diarrhea. For people in the Western World, the usual amount of water in stool each day is generally no more than 200 ml or 7 oz. (8 oz. = 1 cup). When it is consistently more than this, it is called diarrhea in the medical field.

There are many causes of diarrhea. Fortunately, in most instances, this change in bowel habits is short lived and clears up on its own. In these cases, it is assumed that it is a virus infection or even “something I ate.” Whenever diarrhea lasts more than two or three weeks, medical advice is generally recommended. Among the many known causes are:

THE REAL TRUTH ABOUT H. PYLORI: ALLERGIES, AUTOIMMUNE, & ADRENAL FATIGUE

In my last post (healing update #5) I told you I have h. pylori. It is not a fun thing to have. It creates SO much destruction in the gut and organs and pretty much can ruin your body. The #1 thing you do not want to do is let it overgrow-trust me, it is much worse then the detox. So, lets begin.

h. pylori is short for Helicobacter pylori

RESEARCH

If you don’t know anything about h. pylori I suggest you watch these video’s. I have done lots of research over the past months and these videos are very detailed and explain the biochemical process your body goes through and what the h. pylori does (what vitamins it takes away, detox pathways it ruins, etc..) to the body. I wont lie- they are long, but if you are serious about eradicating the h.pylori for good, then you need to know your facts.

h. pylori- another piece to the puzzle

h. p- part 2

I find Dr. Amy is a very thorough Dr. and researcher and her protocol and testing techniques actually work. Here is her site.


THE CONFUSION

H. pylori is pretty common and a lot of people don’t even know they have it. From what scientists can test- It is the most common infection in the world! When you do know you have it, most likely it is because you are already having un plesent symptoms.

Im not going to list all the symptoms here all because it can pretty much be anything. Not just digestion related/ulcers. Lots of doctors think it stays in the stomach. Nope. It can travel and infect any organ it likes to.

Not only does h. pylori invade but since it reduces stomach acid- (because it likes an base environment to grow) then other parasites and bugs have a easy time thriving. Acid kills, without acid-bad bugs will live in you. yuck.
