Attention reflux! Perhaps you suffer from this digestive disorder

Such a digestive disorder like gastroesophageal reflux, is becoming more and more common in modern society. It is characterized by a burning sensation and intense discomfort in the stomach and esophagus. Almost always the symptoms appear after eating or drinking.

And perhaps you also suffer from reflux (or, as it is called, gastroezofagealny reflux disease), is just not aware of it.

In today's article we will talk about the symptoms of this condition and some natural remedies, able to facilitate.

 

What "gastroezofagealny reflux"?



In order to understand what is the digestive problem, just look at the words that comprise the name of the disease. The word "reflux" means "return". In a healthy body after a meal starts the digestive process, it is carried out by means of muscles and acids. At this point, "gates", located at the entrance to the stomach, close to his irritating fluid does not leak into the esophagus (where it is not the place).

However, when the reflux of complete closure does not occur, causing the gastric juice, and even some of the food back, climb up the esophagus.

To visualize this more clearly, remember how you feel when you vomit. A stinging sensation in my chest and the acid taste in my mouth. All this is happening just because the food is returned back together with the gastric juice.

And if such a condition the person experiences a few times a month or even a week, then we are talking about gastroezofagealnaya reflux disease (GERD).

 Which begs the GERD?

The causes of this problem, which arises immediately after a meal (whether abundant or not), may be the following:

  • Hiatal hernia (hernia hiatal), which presses on the upper part of the stomach and weakens the esophageal sphincter ("gateway"), with the result that fluid from the stomach can rise up.
  • Taking certain medicines, including aspirin, anticholinergics, various blockers high blood pressure, bronchodilators and dopamine. Each of these tools has a specific action on the stomach and the esophagus.
  • "Harmful" habits and wrong food that is too abundant food or constant snacking between meals, spicy food, fast food or processed foods.
  • Pregnancy. Many women face this problem only during pregnancy, when fetal weight is already quite significant and puts pressure on the stomach, which again opened a door leading into the esophagus. However, there should still be attentive to yourself and not to let the problem stay with you and after childbirth.
  • Overweight. Here the situation is somewhat similar to the pregnancy period. Only in this case, the stomach pushing the food eaten, and abdominal fat that makes the food with the acid juices back up into the esophagus.
  • Overexertion and stress, as well as increased anxiety, nervousness, etc., These emotional States also strangely can cause stomach becomes tight and elastic, and part of its contents enters the esophagus.
 

The most common symptoms gastroezofagealnam reflux are:

  • Burning sensation and pain in the chest (heartburn)
