By Robert Cohen Executive Director GOT HEARTBURN? DIGEST THIS! The National Heartburn Alliance is funded by companies selling remedies for acid indigestion caused by hard to digest foods. Their gut response to heartburn resulted in a recent press release that linked food consumption with heartburn. The headline: "25 Million Americans Suffer From Heartburn on a Daily Basis - and Most Say The Foods They Eat Are to Blame!" If you have heartburn, it's really no comfort in swallowing each dose of their marketing with your doses of extra-strength Pepto Bismol! http://www.prnewswire.com/broadcast/5221/5221_consumer.html My father used to experience heartburn. Gastric reflux. Indigestion. That is, until he eliminated ice cream, cheesecake, sherbet, and his traditional glass of milk after every meal. Doctors convinced dad that there was something pathologically wrong with his stomach. Thousands of dollars of doctor visits and tests, and an equal investment in medications could not cure his condition. One week of NOTMILK made all the difference in the world. The National Heartburn Alliance has printed a new guidebook alerting consumers as to which foods cause heartburn. Consider this point. If this book cures all heartburn, who will need their heartburn medications?

GERD in Children What causes GERD? How is GERD treated? ... For More Information Gastroesophageal reflux disease, or GERD, occurs when the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) does not close properly and stomach contents leak back, or reflux, into the esophagus. The LES is a ring of muscle at the bottom of the esophagus that acts like a valve between the esophagus and stomach. The esophagus carries food from the mouth to the stomach. When refluxed stomach acid touches the lining of the esophagus, it causes a burning sensation in the chest or throat called heartburn. The fluid may even be tasted in the back of the mouth, and this is called acid indigestion. Occasional heartburn is common but does not necessarily mean one has GERD. Heartburn that occurs more than twice a week may be considered GERD, and it can eventually lead to more serious health problems. Anyone, including infants, children, and pregnant women, can have GERD.

What is the Heartburn? Potentially dangerous confusion can arise when someone neglects their heart pain believing it to be heartburn. What Causes Heartburn? Acid is present in the stomach to digest food. Heartburn occurs when small amounts of this acid rise up into the gullet (oesophagus) - the tube which carries food from the mouth to the stomach. This is called reflux. The gullet, unlike the stomach, does not have a protective lining. So when it is exposed to the acid, it can become inflamed and painful. Why Doesn't Everyone get Heartburn? Some known factors that can lead to heartburn include: pregnancy smoking eating large meals, especially near bedtime being overweight bending a lot wearing tight clothing around the waist. In most of these cases, it is the increased pressure which overcomes the normal muscle contraction and causes heartburn. Smoking, on the other hand, relaxes the muscle around the gullet, with the same result. What is Hiatus Hernia?

chinese medicines green medicine by specific condition how it's done ... tai chi Heartburn Western Diagnosis Aptly named, heartburn is the name given to the burning sensation of indigestion in the stomach and/or chest. It often occurs when hydochloric acid, which is used to digest food in the stomach, backs up. This causes the esophagus to become irritated. Under normal circumstances, the esophageal sphincter closes to prevent the acid from entering the sensitive tissues of the esophagus, but when the sphincter is not functioning properly, acid gets through, into the area. This is called gastroespophageal reflux. People with hiatal hernia often suffer from heartburn, as do those excessively consuming fatty or fried foods, coffee, alcohol, citrus fruits, chocolate and/or tomato based foods. Recommendations For heartburn resulting from periods of irregular eating or consumption of rich foods, stimulants or alcohol, combine

index search health books site map Heartburn Heartburn is a discomfort or pain caused by the stomach contents regurgitating from the stomach up into the gullet (oesophagus). The oesophagus is not made to withstand acid and is thus irritated and inflamed when acid from the stomach refluxes into it. This is known as reflux oesophagitis. Symptoms The pain caused by the irritation of the oesophagus is a burning pain which you feel in the centre of the chest. There is often an associated awareness of acid and stomach contents in the back of the throat or mouth. Lying down or bending (eg in the garden) tend to increase the symptoms. Causes The whole of the intestinal tract is in the form of a tube with muscles in the wall which move the food along (peristalsis). At the bottom of the oesophagus the muscles encircling the tube work rather like a valve to stop food going backwards. This is not a perfect valve, but in some people works less well than others: Obesity leads to a higher pressure in the abdomen. Pregnancy causes a higher pressure in the abdomen and there is also evidence that the changing hormone levels cause relaxation of the muscle valve.

The pain often rises in your chest and may radiate to your neck or throat. Common Causes Return to top Almost everyone has occasional heartburn. If you have frequent, ongoing heartburn, you may have gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Normally, when food or liquid enters your stomach, a band of muscle at the end of your esophagus (called the lower esophageal sphincter or LES) closes off the esophagus. If this muscle fails to close tightly enough, stomach contents can back up (reflux) into the esophagus. This partially digested material is usually acidic and can irritate the esophagus, causing heartburn and other symptoms. Sometimes GERD is related to a hiatal hernia. This is when part of the stomach protrudes upward through a hole in the diaphragm, putting pressure on the LES. Heartburn can also be a side effect of many different medications.
