Summary : Why I wrote this book
I wrote Healing Digestive Disorders to give hope to millions of digestive patients who are frustrated with their health.Healing Digestive Disorders has hundreds of effective treatments using Chinese and western herbs, supplements, diet and lifestyle tips, and an overview of western medicine. I suffered from both Crohn's disease and IBS. My search for therapies to help my own systoms have made it possible for me to help thousands of people.
The most popular and largely used drug for this disease is PPI (Proton Pump Inhibitors), this is the drug which is generally prescribed by the doctors for relief from the pains causing due to the attacks of Acid Reflux. PPI helps in stopping the production of the acidic contents in the stomach which pushes into esophagus and cause acid reflux.
Keep a food diary to track everything you eat and drink if you suffer from acid reflux as diet plays a part in generating stomach acid, and if the acid levels are managed and kept low then you are less likely to experience the reflux.
If your acid reflux and heartburn is worse at night, try raising the head of the bed. That way your esophagus is higher up than your stomach and less acid would trickle back up the wrong way. But before you start chopping off two legs of the bed, or put bricks under two others, adding another pillow or two could do the trick too.
When the muscle that is supposed to prevent stomach acid from escaping up into the esophagus gets to weak to do its job and the acid keeps on gushing back to the esophagus, that is called acid reflux. It is a lot like heart burn but a lot more uncomfortable as generally there is much more acids and pepsins pushing back to the esophagus.
