Treating Acid Reflux Disease

Millions of people suffer the intense pain of Gerd on a regular basis. Someitmes this is on a short-term basis such as heartburn in pregnancy but more often it is a continuing issue. The condition is believed to result from a problem with the esophageal sphincter muscle, which closes the opening between the stomach and the esophagus. If this muscle does not work properly, the contents of the stomach (including the strong stomach acids which are necessary for the digestive process) escape the stomach and move into the esophagus. The result of this is burning and pain, and if left without treatment can even be the cause of tissue damage in the esophagus. So what options are available for sufferers? 

Medical Treatments For Acid Reflux

Perhaps the most useful piece of advice for those experiencing acid reflux symptoms is to visit a doctor. Doctors can pinpoint the cause of acid reflux and can also make sure the treatment used is the most appropriate one. A wide variety of over the counter and prescription drugs are available, but some professional health practitioners recommend changes to lifestyle first. Only if these measures are ineffective are drugs perscribed as a treatment. The good news is that these medicines are highly effective for many suffers. In a very small minority of cases, when both medical treatments and lifestyle changes do not work, surgery may be a last-ditch effort.

Making Changes To The Way You Live

Many doctors attribute the rise in acid reflux to the modern diet which is high in carbohydrates, high fat products and relatively low levels of physical activity. Also, carrying excess weight increases the likelihood you will suffer from Gerd. It’s likely that the increased pressure on the stomach (caused by the extra pounds across the tummy) make it difficult for the esophageal sphincter to function properly. So, one acid reflux treatment that is frequently suggested is to eat a low fat diet. Additionally, many physicians suggest completely stopping eating things that can aggravate acid reflux disease including fizzy drinks, acidic fruits and vegetables and caffeine. Vitamin U supplements may also be recommended.

Many who suffer from acid reflux find the symptoms get worse during the night. This most likely occurs because lying flat makes it easier for stomach acid to escape the stomach since there is less force of gravity to keep the contents inside the stomach. Another acid reflux treatment that relates to lifestyle, then, is to sleep on an incline. Raising a bed just a few inches can be an efficient aid. For those who sleep with someone who doesn’t need the incline, or whose bed isn’t able to rise at one end, the sleep improving pillow wedge, which simply elevates the head and shoulders can also be purchased.
