Gastroesophageal reflux disease is a disorder that results from stomach acid moving backward from the stomach into the esophagus. The esophagus is the muscular tube that connects the mouth to the stomach by the way.
One of the biggest mistakes people with acid reflux make is eating late in the evening. In fact, doctors suggest that those who suffer with night time acid reflux or indigestion should not eat up to three hours before they plan to go bed.
Title : The Ulcer Story: The Authoritative Guide to Ulcers, Dyspepsia and Heartburn
Author : W.Grant Thompson
Rating : 5 Stars out of 5.
Summary : A must for your reference library if your have an ulcer!
Stop looking. This book is a one stop guide that will enable you to understand what your body is doing in those places you can't see, but you KNOW they are there. I believe every doctor should update their ulcer related knowledge by reading this book. "The Ulcer Story" is written in an easy to digest manner, so don't hesitate in finding out about YOUR stomach.
I had H. pylori previous to discovering through an Endoscopic exam that a Peptic ulcer hadn't healed and a growth developed on a healed Duodenal ulcer. Result: Surgery. Afterward, I was so sick and no one had an answer for "what do I do now"?
Get this book before surgery. Find out your options for treatment before and after. Take it with you to the doctors office. Go armed with information that will help you be a smart consumer. You couldn't spend your time better or money wiser.
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.
