Acid reflux - GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease)

[Guest guest]

Namaste Marillete,

 

I would like you to send me a protocol for the acid

reflux disease. The patient suffering from it for a

long time now. Due to this she feels strange and

uncomfortable sensation and pressure under her rib

bone as well as in her throat which makes her feel

suffocated. A burp usually give her a very short

relief. She feels heaviness in her throat as if there

is something or some pressure there almost most of

the time. She is about 36 years of age. Also sometimes

she feels chest and upper back pain usually on her

right side. She has consulted several doctors and they

have prescribe antacids tablets (ranatadine)

which is of not much help. Also please indicate the

number of sessions required.

 

Thanks for your help and lots of love

Dear Tanz,

 

Namaste.

 

Thank you for your email.

Gastroesophageal reflux disease, commonly referred to

as GERD, or acid reflux, is a chronic condition in

which the liquid content of the stomach regurgitates

(backs up, or refluxes) into the esophagus. The liquid

can inflame and damage the lining of the esophagus

although this occurs in a minority of patients. The

regurgitated liquid usually contains acid and pepsin

that are produced by the stomach. (Pepsin is an enzyme

that begins the digestion of proteins in the stomach.)

The refluxed liquid also may contain bile that has

backed-up into the stomach from the duodenum. (The

duodenum is the first part of the small intestine that

attaches to the stomach.) Acid is believed to be the

most injurious component of the refluxed liquid.

Pepsin and bile also may injure the esophagus, but

their role in the production of esophageal

inflammation and damage (esophagitis) is not as clear

as the role of acid.

 

GERD is a chronic condition. Once it begins, it

usually is life-long. If there is injury to the lining

of the esophagus (esophagitis), this also is a chronic

condition. Moreover, after the esophagus has healed

with treatment and treatment is stopped, the injury

will return in most patients within a few months. Once

treatment for GERD is begun, therefore, it usually

will need to be continued indefinitely.

 

Actually, the reflux of the stomach's liquid contents

into the esophagus occurs in most normal individuals.

In fact, one study found that reflux occurs as

frequently in normal individuals as in patients with

GERD. In patients with GERD, however, the refluxed

liquid contains acid more often, and the acid remains

in the esophagus longer.

 

As is often the case, the body has ways (mechanisms)

to protect itself from the harmful effects of reflux

and acid. For example, most reflux occurs during the

day when individuals are upright. In the upright

position, the refluxed liquid is more likely to flow

back down into the stomach due to the effect of

gravity. In addition, while individuals are awake,

they repeatedly swallow, whether or not there is

reflux. Each swallow carries any refluxed liquid back

into the stomach. Finally, the salivary glands in the

mouth produce saliva, which contains bicarbonate. With

each swallow, bicarbonate-containing saliva travels

down the esophagus. The bicarbonate neutralizes the

small amount of acid that remains in the esophagus

after gravity and swallowing have removed most of the

liquid.

 

Gravity, swallowing, and saliva are important

protective mechanisms for the esophagus, but they are

effective only when individuals are in the upright

position. At night while sleeping, gravity is not in

effect, swallowing stops, and the secretion of saliva

is reduced. Therefore, reflux that occurs at night is

more likely to result in acid remaining in the

esophagus longer and causing greater damage to the

esophagus.

 

Certain conditions make a person susceptible to GERD.

For example, GERD can be a serious problem during

pregnancy. The elevated hormone levels of pregnancy

probably cause reflux by lowering the pressure in the

lower esophageal sphincter (see below). At the same

time, the growing fetus increases the pressure in the

abdomen. Both of these effects would be expected to

increase reflux. Also, patients with diseases that

weaken the esophageal muscles (see below), such as

scleroderma or mixed connective tissue diseases, are

more prone to develop GERD.

 

It is well documented that certain foods promote or

worsen symptoms of acid reflux. Citrus, tomato and

coffee directly irritate the mucosa while onions,

chocolate, peppermint and high fat lower the pressure.

 

Other foods to avoid include garlic, onions, fatty

foods and alcohol. Overeating as well as going to bed

within 2-3 hours of supper should be avoided since

gastric distention promotes reflux. Weight gain,

smoking and alcohol have also been implicated in the

pathogenesis of Gastro-Esophageal Reflux Disease and

thus should be avoided.
