Digestive system health

As to my experience with digestive system health, I would say that a person can only take care of himself. This issue of one’s health and especially digestive system health is a mere mirror of one’s attitude towards his mental and physical health. All begin in one’s mind, then goes to the rest of the body’s organs. I would put it in different words: when it comes to one’s physical and mental health, first thing is to understand they are walking hand in hand, the second one is planning your health ahead, and I don’t speak of health insurance of any kind, only the natural type.

As far as I see that, digestive system health starts with right nutrition. Some of us eat health food and have balanced nutrition as a costume derived from home, from mom’s and pup’s habits and education. These people, who are many of us, just got well educated regarding this manner. They eat regularly, in specific and fixed hours, they have the habit of eating small portions, another beautiful habit is eating only one type of food group each meal: protein or Carbohydrates, not to mix the one with the other. This avoids the stomach to work harder than it has to.

Now to the biggest group, the one that can control its eating habits better. This group is made of many people who are derived a little more by their emotions than by physical needs such as hunger, tiredness or thirst. It also does not contain people who function regularly by plan, but this is a really small group [I mean the planners]. So what can we, the emotional, do? We can connect food and eating habits to love and to real needs, we can ask ourselves, each time we go to the fridge and open it, better one step before the door is opened: “am I hungry?”  Asking that simple question is a big step towards health, especially the digestive system’s one.

im 16 years old and i everytime i eat i get hiccups that last for ages and becomes quit painful after a while
is this acid reflux?

does anyone else suffer with acid reflux and if so what medication(s) are you taking? i take protium 40 mg but i think nexium 40 mg is better.
* I’ve had my acid reflux since the age of 15 and I’m now 29. Over the counter meds used to do the trick like tagamet but I had to see the doctor because it was getting worse! For about 2 yrs now I’ve been on Protium but I think Nexium is better. The secret is to take these tablets when you get up in the morning and let it settle for 40 minutes!!! And then I can eat breakfast safely. Just a tip for those who suffer as well… I understand =)
* Sometimes I feel like I’m bothering my doc about acid reflux. I started off on Nexium 20 mg but my mom sends me 40mg and it’s purple from the states and in the uk it’s a bulky pink pill but i don;t like it, it burns my stomach so i’m back to protium 40mg. darn acid reflux! i also avoid all caffeinated drinks that does it for me and spices ooooh.

my kid was recently diagnosed with allergy related acid reflux. is this possible or have they missed something? Please help

…I run quite frequently on a treadmill or outside, and would class myself as having an above average fitness level.
When I run, after about 5 minutes I get acid reflux (or GERD), which causes a mild burning sensation in my chest, it doesn’t really go away until I finish running.

It’s a mild pain, but it is still a pain nonetheless, something I can cope with, but I don’t want to.

So does anybody else have this? If so can they recommend things to cut out of my diet? Or a cure to take while running?
NB: I do not exercise too soon after eating, sometimes this happens in the morning, before I have eaten or drunk anything, as I find I exercise better on an empty stomach.

the Dr. gave her med. for acid reflux but it doesnt seem to be helping…

i’ve had acid reflux for a while now and it didn’t bother me that much when i was a bit lighter so i want to lose some weight.

i am taking protium 40 mg AND i am exercising near enough every day while watching my diet so do you think if i lose a bit of weight my acid reflux won’t bother me so much?

perhaps a doctor could answer this question or health practioner. Thanks!

I have had really bad acid reflux for the past about 6 months, after a bout of taking a lot of pain killers and anti inflammatorys. I also have pernicious anemia and I was just curious to know if the two were related and if acid reflux could be a symptom of coeliac disease?

My husband is 47 years old. For quite a number of months now he is suffering from acid reflux - it’s wakening him at night and when he gets it, the pain is very severe. He doesn’t get it all the time but it is quite often. I’ve asked him to see a doctor - but he won’t (typical man). Do you think i’m right?
Thank you

My doctor is pretty sure I am suffering with a condition called GERD which is short for a long old name that basically means I have severe acid reflux. I am now on a low fat diet, no sugar, no caffeine diet and I really miss my cups of tea. Is it ok to drink a decaf tea? I have heard that hot temperatures also irritate reflux so any information would be very much appreciated.

I know there are lots of things you should do to prevent acid reflux. However, if it starts and slavia is being generated and it is impossible to swallow, what can be done to stop the symptons?I tried to take a pill with a sip of water but it all started again.

It has been going on now for 5 hours.

I do not want his stomach to not create the acid in which it naturally needs for proper food digestion by taking medications! What are some natural remedies? Also, he eats formula- nestle goodstart; what is the best acid reflux friendly formula for a 7 month old?

My 2 week old baby is suffering from silent acid reflux. He is not able to settle at night at all as he keeps getting up every 10 mins and choking. He also cries a lot due to trapped wind I think as he keeps bunching his legs into his tummy. Anyone with any home remedies which can help ? I have been told that gripe water cannot be given before 4 weeks and other remedies-infacol, colief, gaviscon etc have too many side effects.

I am 16 weeks pregnant and have awful acid reflux. I’ve tried Tums, Malox, and Mylanta but they do nothing for me. Anybody out there know of any alternatives? Please advise!
(also have tried white milk and chamomille)
