Learning About the GERD or Gall Bladder Disease

The issue of GERD or gall bladder disease is one that is of great importance and one which everyone should be aware of. There is much to know when it comes to learning about what GERD or gall bladder disease is, as well as what causes it, what the symptoms are, how it is treated, and how to live with it.

What it is

GERD or gall bladder disease is a disease that occurs in the body when the lower esophageal sphincter does not close properly and its stomach contents leak back into the esophagus. This results in causing a burning sensation in the chest or throat which is better known as heartburn. Heartburn can range from being mild to so severe that it is actually debilitating.

GERD or gall bladder disease is often due to a weakening of the tissues that make up the valve like barrier between the esophagus and the stomach and problems with the valve function may include opening at inappropriate times and having a lower than normal pressure.

Symptoms

There are many symptoms of the disease that are typically noticeable at the onset. This includes a burning feeling that starts in the chest just behind the breastbone, burning in the throat, sour or bitter taste in the mouth, belching, chronic coughing, and hoarseness, just to name a few of the most commonly experienced.

Treatment

When it comes to the issue of treatment for GERD or gall bladder disease, there are a few options that have proven to be quite successful. Antacids are the most commonly prescribed treatment but do not work for more severe cases. They work by neutralizing the acid in the stomach so that there is no acid to reflux, and therefore you will not experience any of the painful and uncomfortable symptoms.

There is also histamine antagonists that can be used for treatment here, which basically work just like antacids only are more powerful and work for a longer period of time. They are great for relieving the symptoms of GERD, even when they are very strong. They are used primarily for the treatment of heartburn in GERD that is not associated with inflammation or complications.

To determine which method of treatment is going to be best suited to you and your particular condition, you will need to speak to your doctor and have a proper assessment and diagnosis. After this you will be able to decide which remedy is going to have the desired effect.

For all of you who have any medical, emotional or physical problems need to face the music. ONLY YOU CAN HEAL YOUR BODY!!!! You need to research holistic approaches and stick with them. You learn things from your parents and family that are not healthy. Take charge and eliminate all the soda, icecream, chips and replace with LIVE FOOD. Vegetables, nuts, omega 3 and berries. I was once depressed and had chronic fatigue along with a host of other problems. It was only when I decided to go against my doctors and go holistic. I am depressed and chronic fatigue free. For those of you who are ill and think there is no cure, read the Water cure and and seasalt remedy.

For the one's that are claiming you are FAT... and the one's that are complaining about junk food & etc... Hear this... I was diagnosed with hypoglycemia, when, I was 15. I am now 41. Now, I am a full blown diabetic. I recently was bed bound for 9 months. I am now breaking down little by little. On top of that, since I did not take care of my hypoglycemic, I was diagnosed with schlerosis of the liver due to overweight and the diabetes taking over. Can anyone top that? You are right, you keep eating sweets, junk food and all the greasy foods. You will end up having cardio problems. This is one my other diagnosis. So, please take care of yourselves so, you won't have to leave your children and family one day. You can consider, my days are counted. FYI: When, my doctor told me... I cried for a week that my eyes looked like frog eyes. With prayers, my tears have been minimal. As I am telling you this, I am crying because it is so hard for me to know that I won't see my children grow up. YES, being active and staying away from pop and etc. it is a start. Oh, I was placed on a fat free diet and I lost 17 1/2 pounds in three weeks; perhaps my liver diagnosis will be reversed. Goodluck...

My Mother-in-law and I went on this fast for 3 1/2 days. I was leaving to come home, but I believe I could have done it a lot longer., the first two days were a little hard. Warming the water on the stove helped a LOT! I could tell my body was starting to cleanse. She is very knowledgeable, is 83, and in VERY good shape for her age! Anything you can do naturally to help your body is not crap - Sodas, Whoppers, and Greasy French Fries are Crap.
