The burning sensation of heartburn is caused when the acids from your stomach travel up to your esophagus. The acids in your stomach are quite normal. In fact, that's what helps to digest your food. And your stomach has a protective lining that can shield against these acids. However, your esophagus does not have this lining and is very sensitive to gastric acid. Fortunately the symptoms of heartburn/acid indigestion can be treated with over-the-counter medications like Tagament HB 200®.

Most MYLANTA® products are formulated for adults. In these cases, the package label will clearly state, "Children under 12: Ask a doctor."

Answer: No, definitely not. You may stop taking it after you recover. You may start back any time you want or take it sporadically as needed for acid reflux or body detox. Acid reflux (GERD), like obesity, is not a real disease. It is a result of improper eating and digestive functions. In other words, you may suffer from it again after you stop taking Acidgone® and start improper lifestyle practices again. However, Acidgone® may be taken on a daily basis if you choose to.

Antacids such as Maalox, Rolaids, etc. are acceptable. You may also use acid-blockers such as Zantac, Tagamet, Prilosec and related medications.

The interior of a lysosome is more acidic than the cytosol, and lysosomal enzymes are more active at low pH than at neutral pH.

Enzymes will help heartburn and indigestion almost immediately. Antacids provide only temporary relief by neutralizing the acidity in the stomach, but will cause a much greater problem. Antacids stop the body from doing its digestive job... while enzymes help the body to do its digestive job. Plant enzymes are safe and effective... antacids are not!

If the materials from the stomach remain in the lower part of the esophagus, they can cause heartburn and nausea.

Acid reflux disease is a chronic disease and heartburn is its most common symptom. Heartburn is defined as a rising, burning sensation behind the breastbone caused by reflux of stomach acid into the esophagus. Frequent heartburn that disrupts one's lifestyle suggests the diagnosis of acid reflux disease. Only your doctor can determine if you suffer from acid reflux disease.

A common misconception about chelation is that it lowers the levels of calcium in the bones and teeth as the body draws calcium from them to replace the calcium drawn from the blood by the chelation process. On the contrary, the calcium to restore blood levels is drawn from places in the body where calcium has built up unnaturally, as in arterial plaque (which contributes to clogged arteries), calcified bursae (a source of bursitis), arthritic joints, and kidney stones.

Probably. Heartburn or acid reflux (GERD) is directly related to being overweight (there are other causes of GERD). Once you start losing those pounds you should notice that the heartburn starts to disappear. Patients who undergo the Lap-band procedure may notice a drastic improvement in the heartburn because the band acts like a valve preventing the acid reflux.

Heartburn affects almost everyone at some point in their lives. Heartburn that is experienced several times in a 24-hour period, that occurs many times a month, or that causes hoarseness, coughing, bleeding or swallowing difficulties, is not normal and should be examined.

More than 60 million American adults experience GERD and heartburn at least once a month, and about 25 million adults suffer daily from heartburn. Twenty-five percent of pregnant women experience daily heartburn, and more than 50 percent have occasional distress. Recent studies show that GERD in infants and children is more common than previously recognized and may produce recurrent vomiting, coughing, and other respiratory problems, or failure to thrive.

More often than not the most controllable behavior that your can implement to improve symptoms of heartburn is your diet. Avoid those foods that trigger your heartburn such as; spicy foods, chocolate, coffee, alcohol, fatty foods, fried or greasy foods, citrus, mints, even carbonated beverages. Also, eating smaller portioned meals will help. As rule of thumb, eating smaller portions more often is better than overeating at any time. Avoid eating right before going to bed. If you smoke... stop.

Heartburn is a medical condition with biological reasons. Some people are more prone to develop heartburn than others, because they have a weak lower esophagus sphincter (LES). However, bad diet habits, overweight and smoking among other causes, can, over time, provoke heartburn that otherwise would have never occurred. In most cases occurrence of heartburn is food related.

Avoid “bad” food (alcohol, caffeine, citrus fruits and juices, tomato products, chocolate, fatty food and spices) When lying down elevate the level of your head by a few inches. Use 4 inch bricks to elevate the head of your bed. That can decrease the stomach pressure against the esophagus. Don’t use pillows: Elevating your head in bed with pillows has actually proven to increase the stomach pressure! In order not to aggravate heartburn avoid any kind of stress.

Frequently, these problems are caused by poor digestion. Food that sits in the stomach for a long time without being properly digested can result in bloated feelings, gas produced in the large intestines, and excess secretion of stomach acid which can cause heartburn.

Do dogs get indigestion? When my dog finishes eating, she sounds like she's wheezing a little, like indigestion. What are the issues that affect MY LEADERS (I am quite possessive of you, you know) and what topic do we need to 'get out into the open' and deal with so that we can together grow, build, and prosper? After several phone calls regarding a variety of topics with many of you.........I think we'll talk about...Working with Difficult People.....or DP

Probiotics will usually cure indigestion in a short time. Probiotics cure most digestive problems as they are almost all related to a bacteria imbalance.

When you feel up tight or under stress, your body goes into 'fight or flight' mode, releasing adrenaline and diverting blood away from the stomach. As a result the muscles in the wall of your stomach contract less frequently and the digestive process becomes less effective. When your body realises that digestion is not happening properly it produces more stomach acid which can build up and cause the pain or discomfort of indigestion.

middot; Indigestion is frequently called heartburn. This does NOT mean that something is wrong with your heart. Heartburn is a burning feeling in the center of the chest and upper abdomen and seems to rise into your throat. It is frequently accompanied by an unpleasant taste in the mouth and burping. It is caused by a backflow of acid from the stomach into the esophagus.

GERD is a disease and heartburn is its most common symptom. Heartburn is defined as a rising, burning sensation behind the breastbone caused by reflux of stomach acid into the esophagus. Nearly everyone has or will experience heartburn on occasion. Frequent heartburn that disrupts one's lifestyle suggests the diagnosis of GERD.

Medications are typically prescribed when preventative measures prove ineffective, before surgery is recommended. The most common types of medication are H-2 blockers (Axid, Pepcid, Tagamet, Zantac), drugs that increase peristalsis and tighten the LES (Reglan) and proton pump inhibitors (Prevacid, Prilosec or Protonix).

If your condition does not respond to over-the-counter treatments after two weeks, see a doctor. You may be at risk for serious inflammation of the esophagus. Also, if you have difficulty swallowing, you may have an underlying condition that requires the attention of a health care professional. Do not continue to self-medicate.
