Siddha / Ayurvedic any suggestions and experiances. Pl Help me Hi GoPren Here is a long term action plan and #6 has the quick fix. Causes of Heartburn The most common causes of heartburn are overeating, and eating meals that are predominantly acid-forming and abundant in unhealthy fats, spices, and commercially processed foods. Heartburn can also be caused by low levels of hydrochloric acid (HCl), deficiencies in the body鈥檚 production of enzymes, poor adrenal and/or spleen function, and/or diminished liver function due to toxicity. Hiatal hernia, stress, or smoking, can cause heartburn, as well. In addition, food allergies lead to poor digestion which can also contribute to heartburn, as can combining too many different types of foods at the same meal. Heartburn can be brought on by drinking excess fluids during mealtime, eating too fast, or eating in a stressed environment. Heartburn can also be connected to constipation, similar to a backed up septic system. In this case, the body can have a difficult time digesting and processing the food coming in, if the previous meal is not going down and being eliminated properly. Quick Action Plan for Preventing and Treating Heartburn (Acid Reflux of GERD) . 1. Conventional physicians recommend over-the-counter antacid medications for heartburn. Although these drugs can provide temporary relief, long-term use may be harmful, as they reduce the amount of stomach acids necessary for proper digestion and assimilation of food. 2. Screen for food allergies, which contribute to poor digestion, thus leading to heartburn. Avoid the following: foods you are allergic to, eating too many different types of foods at the same meal, drinking excess fluids during the meal, wolfing down food, or eating under stress. 3. Avoid overeating, do not eat acid forming foods, commercially-processed foods, overly spicy foods, refined sugars and carbohydrates, hydrogenated fats or oils, coffee, chocolate, sodas, excess alcohol, orange and grapefruit juice, tomato products, pasteurized milk or dairy products, and foods containing peppermint and spearmint. 4. Eat an organic whole foods diet, full of organic fresh green vegetables and green vegetable juices, especially freshly-made cucumber juice, which can provide instant relief. Free-range organic meats and poultry, and wild-caught fish are recommended. Drink plenty of pure, filtered water throughout the day. 5. Avoid overeating and eating meals late in the evening, and allow at least three hours between meals, unless blood sugar problems are an issue. 6. For quick relief from heartburn symptoms, eat apples, raw cucumbers (peeled), brown rice, and walnuts. Try sipping a glass of pure, filtered water with a couple of teaspoons of raw, organic apple cider vinegar, or baking soda, which can quickly neutralize heartburn attacks. 7. Useful herbs for heartburn include agrimony, aloe vera, angelica, fennel, garlic, gentian, goldenseal, licorice root, marshmallow root, parsley, and slippery elm. The tea, or essential oil of cardamom, relieves symptoms for many. 8. Homeopathy remedies that help are Arsenicum album, Nux vomica, and Sulfur. 9. If you smoke, stop, and begin an exercise program as soon as possible. 10. Take digestive enzymes with every meal, along with calcium carbonate, 600 mg in liquid or chewable form every two to three hours until symptoms subside. Take Probiotics such as acidophilus and Bifidobacteria according to directions. 11. Stress reduction techniques such as biofeedback, hypnotherapy, and relaxation exercises, along with meditation, can be highly effective. Best of health to you Source(s): experienced healing and educating many years naturalcures.com I have the same. I take tagament and mylanta. The combo works good for me. But you have to take the tagamant for a week straight. If you have been on medication for longer than 2 weeks..go back to your doctor and see what else they can do. It can take up to 2 months for the acid-reducing meds to work well. I have been on mine for 4 months now and it took 2 months for me to feel better. Remember to make whatever lifestyle changes possible, like elevating the head of your bed and not eating 3 hours before bedtime. Drink plenty of water to keep acid diluted, also. Try to find out what your trigger foods are, such as spicy things or fried foods. My GERD was silent, meaning I never had heartburn, but I exprienced tissue damage in my throat. My throat doctor diagnosed me. It has taken a long time for the damage to begin to heal, but thankfully I think it is getting better now. I wish you good luck. I know it is frustrating, but keep taking your medicine and talk to your doctor if you aren't happy with the results. How long have you been taking those meds? It took my sone some weeks before he notice real improvement. And once he did, it was a LOT better. Chew tums(or similiar product) and drink water I had this GERD thing...basically means your stomach content is trying to creep up into your Esophagus. I eliminated it 100% from my Dr.'s suggestion; to raise the Head of my bed. Ever so slightly...so i put a brick on it's side along the underside of the Headboard. (approx. 4" ) This 'elevation' is barely noticeable, yet it gives 'gravity' the edge, when u r sleeping. End result...I am GERD = FREE !!! This was a Drug-Free solution 4 me.....why not try this simple solution 1st? Good Luck! |
