Can you get rid of ACID REFLUX & Heartburn naturally?
Heartburn, Acid Regurgitation, Difficulty Swallowing, Chronic Cough or Constant Throat Clearing?
These symptoms can be caused by the reflux of stomach contents into the oesophagus.
When stomach acid comes into contact with the tissue in the oesophagus, it can cause irritation, damage, and inflammation. Persistent irritation and inflammation can eventually progress to Barrett's oesophagus.
There are many factors that can contribute to, and worsen acid reflux, including alcohol, obesity, stress, fatty or oily foods, caffeine, and cacao. However, the underlying cause is often weakness of the lower oesophageal sphincter (LES), a muscular ring that separates the oesophagus from the stomach. When the LES becomes lax and does not close properly, stomach contents, including acid, can easily reflux into the oesophagus. Other important factors to consider include a hiatal hernia, delayed gastric emptying, food allergies, EDS and SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth).
The good news that acid reflux can be supported with diet, lifestyle and natural supplements.
