Homeopathic treatment of Acidity
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.
I am suffering from gerd diseses
Problem : Severe acidity from the past 15 years with a feeling of heaviness in the stomach and the stomach appears to have been bloated. Once in every days I feel like vomiting to relieve my stomach. For this I take water and all the acid comes out after 10 to 20 mins of taking water. The fluid coming out is acidic that it causes a sore throat for me.
AND HEART BURNING .
When the acidity is high, I dont get deep sleep, I feel as if I am still awake with eyes closed, I get dreams continuously and inspite of sleeping for 8 hours I feel that I couldnot sleep properly.
I also get headaches in the evenings because of acidity and once vomited everything would be fine. If I delay the vomits by a day or so, I get YELLOW color fluid vomit which is very very acidic. The vomits are atleast half a mug ful.
I dont have pain in the stomach, but I can feel there is another heart beat like thing in the stomach which I can feel constantly and in the nights I can feel my forehead/brain nervers stressed, If I put my finger just above my ears I can feel my nerves constantly expanding and contracting.
Reasons that I think could be:
– I have moved to a new job where the nature of responsibilities are high and I can see that the acidity is high when I am stressed out more.
– I am also driving to office which takes me 45 mins and the traffic is so bad that I get stressed even more.
– When I eat sweets, acidity increases. Previosuly I didnot have a liking toward sweets, but from the time I started having acidity problem, I seem to have a liking for sweets.
About me:
– I am 33, male, 6′, 62 kgs
– I am not a alcoholic or a smoker. I dont take Coffee, tea also. Once a while I take milk. I drink around 3 lts of water every day.
– I dont have any water during meals. If I take 2 or 3 sips also, I feel discomfort after the meals, I can feel the refluxes. Previously, before this problem started I used to take two glasses of water during meals with out any problems. Now even a sip is a strict no.
– Cool drinks is a strict no for me, if I take cool drinks or icecreams I can expect acidity the next morning.
– I usually feel the acidity more in the evenings (and the urge to vomit). Sometimes I also feel it in the nights and the next day mornings are drowsy. I dont feel like getting up from my seat and moving around
– In the evenings when I have acidity I feel irritated and get anger with a slight provocation.
– My nights are worse when I acidity is severe, I dont get a deep sleep.
– Urine and stool are normal
Diagnosis underwent (around 6 months back):
– Endoscopy : Result – negative
– Ultrasound scanning: Result – negative
– The allopathic doctor told me based on the above tests that I dont have any ulcers but my digestive system is very poor.The allpathic doctor prescribed pantocid dsr in the mornings for one month. I continued that and during that month – I was kind of ok, but not 100% cured. after that month, the problem started again.
Homeopathy treatment:
– I consulted a homeo doctor near my house and continue medicines for around 3 weeks with no result
– Then I consulted another doctor in homeopathy but I have no relief if I take sweets, I get sour/acidic vomits immediately next day.
I dont overeat, but have 4 hours gap between my breakfast and lunch and around 7 hours gap between lunch and dinner. I take some snacks between my lunch and dinner.
Please advise me what medication to be taken.
