I have heartburn all the time?!
Question: I have heartburn all the time!?
what should I do!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
stop eating meat, pasta, pizza, and cheese at night bfore you go to bed!. as it takes a lot of concentrated acid to digest this sort of stuff, when you lay down, it washes up into the un-protected lining of the esophagus, burning it (just like sticking your hand into battery acid)!.
Limit vinegar also, by itself, but eating a salad an hour before going horizontal won't hurt much anything!.
get a presc for protonix or nexium to heal messed up linings!.
keep eating heavy greasy or hard to digest food at night right before bed, or within 3 hours, may cause cancer and other disorders!. eat this stuff in the morning or for lunch, as being vertical and active will help the digestive process!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

First of all DO NOT LISTEN to Onlymatch4u or your esophagus may become damaged from acid coming up in your throat!. You have heartburn all the time, it is probably from GERD which is usually caused from a Hiatal Hernia, that's a place where the opening to the stomach has weakened and it allows acid from the stomach to come up into your throat and burn your esophagus!. Prilosec, Pepcid, Zantac can all bought OTC to help control the acid!. I would give them a try!. If they work you can see a Dr!. who can prescribe them at a stronger strength!. Also raise the head of your bed by 6", you can do this by using cement blocks!. Don't eat greasy, spicy foods, acidic foods or drink like soda!. Don't eat close to bedtime!. Avoid caffeine and chocolate as much as possible and anything else that gives you heartburn!. If the acid continues to burn your esophagus it will begin bleeding and you would have to have a special diet or a feeding tube for a while until the esophagus heals!. Gaviscon is the best thing I found for heartburnin a pinch!. That is what the hospital gives you that they charge a fortune for and call it a heartburn cocktail!. I know cause I was a paramedic for many years and did clinicals in 3 different hospitals!. Above all, you need to see a Dr if you don't improve!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
First try at least 2 weeks to 1 month of Prilosec!. It's over-the-counter now, so you don't need a prescription!. If the Prilosec doesn't help after about 3 weeks, make an appointment with your doctor or a GI specialist!. You will also want to avoid overly spicy foods, carbonated beverages, alcohol, anything that you feel triggers your stomach upset!. Another neat trick is to raise the head of your bed!. You can do this by using old phone books!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
See a doctor!. You may have Acid Reflux, or worse, there may be an active infection!. Some specialists can find and treat any infection!. Otherwise, you will probably be prescribed an acid reducer, which is one pill each day, and most of the problem should go away in a few weeks!. You'll still have to take the pills, but your stomach and esophagus will heal with time!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Heartburn is from the LACK of stomach acid!. It can be caused by several things, but typically it is due to age, eating cooked food, or an injury to the front of your body - tattoos, scars, trauma, etc!.
DO NOT TAKE THE ANTACIDS! They are very bad for you!.
Pepcid and tums are incredibly bad for you!.
Look at the side effects: an allergic reaction (difficulty breathing; closing of the throat; swelling of the lips, tongue, or face; or hives); easy or unusual bruising or bleeding; bleeding gums; irregular heartbeat; yellowing of the skin or eyes; or a rash; dizziness; headache; or diarrhea, nausea, or constipation!. All these side effects are a result of liver and or kidney being damaged from these drugs!
Sorry, but this question begs the answer above!. First of all, heart burn or the word used by the marketing guru's at all the drug companies and your local pharmacy is "acid in digestion!."
Both of these terms are used to sell you something that is, first, to buy their drugs that complicate the problem!.
To correctly understand the problem, you first have to understand how the body's digestion works!. The stomach needs to be acidic to kill germs and break down food!. Your digestion of Calcium, Magnesium, and Zinc (all minerals essential to feed your body) can only be digested if your stomach is acidic at the time food is there!. The Jejunum is the upper part of the duodenum that attaches to the stomach's pyloric sphincter!. When the acidic material enters this part of the duodenum, the Calcium & Magnesium compete for absorption through the wall of the Jejunum, but if it is not acidic, no absorption takes place and you can become Calcium & Magnesium deficient!. Furthermore, if the material moving down the intestine is not acidic, your intestines will not produce an alkali that neutralizes the pH and you will not absorb many other vitamins and minerals!.
Antacids neutralize the stomach acid that causes these problems!. The so called heart burn or acid indigestion is from rotting food that is fermenting and producing lactic acid!. The reason the food is rotting is because there is not enough stomach acid to cause it to break down!. Just the opposite of what these ignorant people are telling you!. As you age, your body produces less and less stomach acid!. By the time you are 80 years old, you are only producing about 5% of the stomach acid you did when you were 25 - 30 years old!. To make matters worse, we eat processed and cooked foods that are devoid of enzymes that help us preserve the stomach acid that remethylates our cells!. This shortens our lives about 30 years! We were designed to eat raw, uncooked foods!.
There is an answer though!. It is simple and inexpensive, unlike the damaging antacid garbage!. By taking Betaine HCL and an activator with each meal, you give your body what it needs to breakdown the foods, digest your food so much better, and cause your body to actually utilize the Calcium, Magnesium, Zinc, and iron it needs as well as the other vitamins and minerals!. I also suggest a digest enzyme with each meal!.
It's no wonder we have so much osteoporosis and other degenerative disease in the American culture with the way the drug companies spend millions on advertising and making billions on the very thing that is causing people to have to spend more billions on other drugs to try and fix the problems created by the antacids! Amazing!. Just look at all the laxatives and drugs being sold because of all the toxic build up from rotting food that is sold due to these antacids!. What a racket!. And what is the FDA doing about it!? Nothing!.
Who is the FDA protecting, the manufacturers or our people!?
A good quality Betaine HCL and activator can be purchased at: (800) 370 - 3447!.
Also, the antacids that are in tablet form contain many ingredients that suppress your immune system and prevent you from absorbing other nutrients!. One of those ingredients, and there are many fillers and glues used as well as this one, is magnesium stearate!. This is a trans fat and pills contain about 5% of this garbage!. That is 5% of the total milligrams labeled!
good luck to youWww@Answer-Health@Com
