Gerd

Homeopathic treatment of Acidity

459534827_9e36307cd3_m If it is very common (more than twice a week) for you to suffer from the symptoms of hyperacidity. (heartburn or feeling of pain and/or burning in the chest or throat) it is possible that it could be more than just the so-called acidity. You could be suffering from GERD (Gastro esophageal reflux disease).

 

What is GERD?

Under normal circumstances the stomach tries to digest the food by breaking it down into simple substances by using hydrochloric acid and other enzymes, this food is passed on to the intestines for further digestion but in patients with GERD the acidic contents of the stomach regularly reflux back into the esophagus (the food pipe), causing inflammation and damage. GERD can be a chronic and if left untreated, it can lead to a more serious condition known as erosive esophagitis. Complications of erosive esophagitis may include narrowing or ulceration of the esophagus

How to recognize GERD

When the contents from the stomach touch the lining of the esophagus, they cause a burning sensation in the chest or throat called heartburn. At times the gastric fluid may even reach the mouth. In some cases, there may be a difficulty in swallowing, hoarseness of voice, cough, and asthma as their presenting symptoms.

What causes GERD?

As the chewed food reaches, the lower end of the esophagus which comprises of a circular band of muscle around the bottom part of your esophagus; it relaxes and allows the food and liquid to flow down into the stomach. Gastroesophageal reflux disease, or GERD, occurs when this end of oesophagus does not close properly and stomach contents leak back, or reflux, into the esophagus. The condition may be due to an abnormal mechanical working of the esophagus (where it enters the stomach) as under normal circumstances it squeezes itself together to act as a shut-off valve to keep stomach contents out. Sometimes, GERD is due to too much acid being produced by the stomach. It can occur in some people when the stomach does not empty quickly enough and becomes overfilled with digestion contents.

Few factors that cause the lower end to relax more frequently are Fatty foods, Chocolate, caffeine, onions, spicy foods, mint and some medications, Alcohol, Large meals, lying down soon after eating. Other factors that may contribute to GERD include alcohol use overweight, pregnancy and smoking.

How can homoeopathy help?

Although GERD can limit daily activities and productivity, it is rarely life-threatening. With an understanding of the causes and proper homoeopathic treatment most people will find relief. Natrum phos a homoeopathic medicine is very beneficial when there is excess of acid being manufactured and the gerd can be attributed to it. Nux Vomica is very affective in people where improper eating habits are responsible for the reflux disorder. Nux is also indicated in GERD by alcohol. Robinia is indicated in reflux disorder in children and Iris is very effective when symptoms of reflux are accompanied by headache.

  13. I am 26 yrs old. I am suffering from peculiar symptoms since past 8 to 9 years. Whenever I suffer from it, i do no feel like eating anything for days, teeth become yellow, get bad taste in my mouth,warm & bad breath, my tongue becomes white in clour & i feel sleepy whole day even though i would have slept well last night.It does get cured after few months but returns back shortly. I have consulted many gastroenterologists but to no use. One of the dentist suggested its acidity & it got cured by famotidine 20 mg thrice a day around 4 years back but now it does not get cured even with pantoprazole 40 mg daily for months. I do not have any infection in mouth or stomach. I have already done H.pylori tests, endoscopy, sonography but all were normal. I do not have any ulcers. My blood reports are normal. Also I do not feel any pain in my stomach or heartburn. I sometimes feel a burning sensation in my stomach.My weight has been around 45 kgs since several years as because of this i cannot eat normally for several days. Is it really acidity that i am suffering from??
    Whenever I get cured after few months i can eat lot & am very normal. I am frustrated as I cannot work properly. Can you please let me know the reason for my suffering & a permanent cure for it. Also can you please specify if I am actually suffering from Acidity or something else.
    Thanks a lot a lot

    • I have a personal medical problem for which you may have a solution.

      For about three years Iam suffering with LPR (Laryngopharyngeal reflux) which is also called as Silent reflux. My symptoms are post nasal drip, frequent throat clearing,lots of phlem in the throat, some times cough ,sometimes feels like seed stuck ain my throat. I dont have any abdominal discomfort or heart burn or chest discomfort.Iam taking PPI’s but still I am experiencing problems. Between 2pm to 8 pm I suffer with severe flautulance and some times the gas smells very bad. I want to try the homeopathy route.

      I changed all my food habits. I dont smoke,consume alcohol ,no fatty foods.I lost about 40 lbs recently. Eventhough I changed my life style habits dramatically, still Iam suffering with this problem quite often.I hope you may suggest me some protocol to treat this problem so that I can order those medications .
      I ve gone through pretty much every testing. I ve gone through upper gi endoscopy twice, colonoscopy once, esophageal ph testing, barium swollow testing, modified barium swallow testing. to start with i was prescribed nexium and after few months i brought it down to prilosec. Even while I was on prilosec i still feel the discomfort in the throat while eating food as well as for 1-2 hrs after eating food. Then my gastroenterologist performed ph monitering while I was on prilosec once a day .To my surprise the results came out as negetive I mean to say that the ph in my esophagus is normal.If there is no acid back up into the esophagus I dont know why I am feeling my discomfort in the Throat.It is just discomfort not difficulty swallowing or lump in the throat.
      YOUR HELP WILL BE HIGHLY APPRECIATED

      • Hi brother me too feeling the same thing…..how are you feeling now….even I have diagnosed LPR..please help me iam a singer and suffering from 3 months
