Permanently Eliminate Acid Reflux
Symptoms - An Embarrassing Acid Reflux Type (and what to do about it)
The
most common form of acid reflux is called gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and this is
typically what people are talking about when they say acid reflux.
It’s
most often accompanied by horrible heartburn.
But
there is another type of acid reflux, which is lesser known but might be even
more embarrassing. You may not even realize you have this one.
If
you have rumination syndrome, it means that you involuntarily and effortlessly
regurgitate the contents of your stomach during and after a meal in near
chewable form.
It
happens because of an involuntary contraction of your abdominal muscles and
would happen more often than not when the valve between your esophagus and
stomach is weak, and thereby failing to close properly while you are not
swallowing, as it is meant to do.
Because
throwing up almost immediately after eating is such a toddler thing to do, many
people are ashamed of it and do not report rumination syndrome, making it
almost impossible for researchers to estimate its prevalence in the general
population.
In
2002, a survey of 4,500 Australian adults in the American Journal of
Gastroenterology found that just below one percent of adults suffer from it.
Another
survey in the Spanish population in the journal Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology found
that around seven or eight percent of people with fibromyalgia
or eating disorders struggle with the rumination syndrome.
While
it sounds serious, it is actually less grave than many other forms of acid reflux, because you regurgitate the food before it starts digesting
and before your stomach soaks it in acid.
This
means that it is less acidic than the stomach content that flows back through
your esophagus in many other conditions.
What
does make it serious, however, is that researchers have discovered that people
with this condition also tend to have anxiety, depression,
and near permanent constipation.
Unlike
normal vomiting, the regurgitation in this condition is generally automatic,
without involving the type of muscle spasms present in vomiting.
Besides
the regurgitation itself, symptoms include abdominal pain, the feeling of
satiety, nausea, constipation,
bad breath, and unintentional weight loss.
Since
regurgitated stomach contents sometime include acid, you could also experience
some tooth decay.
It
is surprisingly easy to treat, with doctors reporting that almost 90 percent of
their adult patients responding positively to treatment.
If
you practice breathing using your diaphragm, especially during and after
mealtimes, it will counteract the regurgitation reflex. It works by preventing
abdominal muscle contractions that would propel the food back into your
esophagus and your mouth.

Symptoms - Acid Reflux’s Most Dangerous Consequence
The
constant pain, having to deny yourself all the goodies your stomach can’t
handle, along with suffering the side effects of the medications that don’t
even work in the first place.
And
then the night comes…and oh boy!
But
now, a study published in the Journal Sleep Medicine has revealed what might be the
direst consequence of acid reflux, and it is one that you might have never
connected it to previously.
4,882
women answered questions about night time acid reflux.
Women
with nocturnal acid reflux were around three times more likely to suffer from
daytime sleepiness when compared to the general population.
In
addition, they were also more likely to involuntarily fall asleep during the
day.
And
daytime sleepiness is not a joking matter.
Operating
a car or any form of heavy machinery or simply walking down steps at home while
drowsy or tired can be more life-threatening than doing this drunk. Not to
mention how it will generally rob you of any nice life experiences along the
way.
But there is more to the story…
Another
study in the Journal of Neurogastroenterology and Motility in 2010 warned that
the relationship between acid reflux and sleep might work in both directions.
You
see, sleep could also lead to more acid reflux in people that are vulnerable to
it because while you sleep, the mechanisms that your body uses to clear acid
from your esophagus aren’t working very well.
For
example, as you salivate less, your swallow mechanism is impaired, and your
esophagus is static without the movements that it uses to align itself with
your stomach during the day.
Reversing
your acid reflux naturally is therefore more crucial than ever.
But
how do you do this?

Symptoms - 93% Acid Reflux Cases Cured Naturally (new study)
Gastroesophageal
reflux disease (GERD) has always posed a big problem for people who suffer from
it, as proton pump inhibitors, the most common drug treatment, have serious and
potentially deadly side effects.
Now
a new study has proven an old, natural method has proven extremely effective
for curing acid reflux and GERD. In fact, up to 93% of participants reported
complete relief.
To
respond to this dilemma, Chinese researchers decided to test the effectiveness
of acupuncture as a treatment of GERD. They published their findings in the
Journal Zhen Ci Yan Jiu (or
Acupuncture research when translated).
They
recruited 58 people diagnosed with GERD conditions that were so bad that they
could not sleep at night.
They
then divided them into two groups: 28 who received acupuncture and 30 who
received medication.
The
medication group took a proton pump inhibitor twice a day for 8 weeks.
Subjects
in the acupuncture group were punctured with needles to all the spots below the
spinous processes, from T 3 to T 12, once every alternate day, for eight weeks.
The
subjects were also given three questionnaires to test the severity of their
symptoms before and after the treatment.
1.
The Reflux Diagnostic Questionnaire for heartburn, abdominal pain, acid reflux,
and food regurgitation.
2.
The GERD symptom scale for digestion, reflux, food regurgitation, pain,
cardiovascular effects, and so forth.
3.
The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index for sleep duration and quality.
After
the treatments, both groups had experienced significant relief from their
previous state.
Furthermore,
it could be seen that acupuncture group improved a lot more on all
three-measurement questionnaires when compared to the group that took
medication.
1.
On the Reflux Diagnostic Questionnaire, 43.3% of the medicated subjects and
71.4% of the acupuncture subjects reported being completely cured or
experiencing a massive improvement.
2.
On the GERD symptom scale, 56.7% of the medicated subjects and 89.3% of the
acupuncture subjects reported being completely cured or experiencing a big
improvement.
3.
On the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, 60% of the medicated subjects and 92.9%
of the acupuncture subjects reported being completely cured or experiencing a
massive improvement.
If
this study is right, then it would mean that acupuncture is a substantially
better treatment for acid reflux than dangerous proton pump inhibitors.
