Heartburn Esophagus
Non Medicinal Cures for Heartburn?
I'm looking for ways to prevent it or stop it once it starts. If you don't know, acid reflux or heartburn is when stomach acid splashes into your esophagus which causes pain. Also, I'm wondering what causes the acid to splash up.
The main problem that is occuring is something the medical community is keeping deliberately from the public: because it makes them money. The cure is in the cause. The real cause is the improper combining of certain foods. In this case protein(meats) and starches(bread and potatoes) the reason; Meat is protein and requires acid to digest. But starches like bread pasta, potatoes, french fries etc. need alkali to digest. So heres what happens when you eat the common money making combos Steak and potatoes. Hamburger and bun/wi french fries. The two foods enter the stomach the body sees protein and dumps acid into thestomach, then it detects bread pr starch and dumps in alakli chemically do you know what you get? WATER! the two cancel out each other so the stomach dumps more acid and more acid and more alkali and meanwhile the food just boils and rots in the stomach partially digested and the the stomach swells with gas and more acid and more alkali all continually canceling out. that is where the bubbling up of acid comes from. If you ate a seak wthout the potatoe instead ate a vegatable, Or hamburger without the bun or bread and a salad instead of fries, Oh and the Pop served at most resturaunts? Alkali so it cancels out your stomach acid. Don't drink with your meals avoid these combinations, Drink only enough water to wash down food no more (water, waters both down) And another culprit is Pasta and meat sauce like spagettii or lasagna, If these give problems the culprit is the acidic tomato sauce and the meat with breads or pasta, Avoid eating bread woth the meal, don't water down the food and you might try a little wine this breaks down the cheese.
If you try these recomendations you will notice this occurrance does not happen anymore or is greatly lessened.
Simple Chemistry really vs Fast food greed.
What you Should Know About Acid Reflux, Esophagus, and Les
At some time in your life, you will experience acid reflux or stomach problems. Acid reflux occurs when some of the highly acidic stomach content flows back into the esophagus. By understanding the workings of the esophagus and its control valve, the LES, you can make better decisions on how to deal with any stomach disturbances or with acid reflux.
The esophagus is a muscular channel or tube that runs from the back of the throat to the upper part of your stomach. This channel surface is covered with smooth delicate cells called “epithelial cells” The muscles along the esophagus start contracting as food enters the esophagus and propels the food downward toward your stomach. These contractions are called peristalsis. It takes about 5 – 10 seconds for food that you swallow to travel through the esophagus and reach your stomach.
At the end of the esophagus is a closed valve call “Lower Esophageal Sphincter” or LES. This valve or LES relaxes when food reaches it and opens to let food into your stomach. Once food passes through, it closes tightly so that food cannot travel back up or reflux. It is important for this valve to open and close only to let food flow in one direction, into the stomach.
When you have acid reflux, food and acid from the stomach flows back up into the esophagus causing a burning sensation. When acid reflux or heartburn occurs a few times, this is not a serious issue. But, when it occurs over a long period, then it is possible that an esophageal ulcer or cancer can develop.
The closing pressure of the LES value at its resting point is about 20 mm of mercury. When you eat food a signal is sent to the LES valve to open and allow food swallowed to pass into the stomach. As the stomach contracts to process new food, the LES closes to protect the esophagus from harsh stomach acids.
Every once in a while the LES valve might have a decrease closing pressure. The LES valve relaxes beyond normal and the pressure from the stomach gases are enough to open it. When this happens, food and stomach acid can reflux back into the esophagus. This abnormal momentary decrease in LES pressure is called “Transicent LES Relaxations or TLESRs. The amount of times TLESRs happen varies from person to person and researchers are not sure why this happens. Those people who have more frequent TLESRs are more susceptible to acid reflux or heartburn.
It seems to me that these TLESRs can be an interruption or weakening of your defense mechanism or immune system. It is these systems that are responsible for protecting you from disruptions in your body functions. But when physical or emotional forces place a load on your defense and immune systems, not enough energy is available to keep valves shut or valves open as required for normal body functioning.
The simple opening and closing of the LES value is required for good health. Eating excess food or mixing many foods at one meal can increase the pressure in the stomach forcing the LES to open. Your TLESRs times are affected by your eating habits and by your immune system strength. Learn how to eat properly and learn what foods keep your LES valve strong and healthy. These two topics will be covered in additional articles.
