Chiropractor Austin TX | Solutions for Heartburn and Hiatal Hernia GERD

Описание: We have many patients with complaints of heartburn or reflux, called GERD (Gastro-Esophageal Reflux Disease). There are 3 things that can be done to solve this problem. Some people need just 1 of them, some need all 3. But first, let me explain what the issue is. It might be different than what you think. Most people think indigestion and heartburn are due to too much acid in their stomach, and that it escapes the stomach up into the esophagus and causes burning and indigestion (reflux). But that is seldom really the case.

So, what is really going on here? The stomach is naturally very acidic, producing hydrochloric acid, pepsin (an enzyme), and mucous. When food enters your stomach, hydrochloric acid activates the enzyme pepsin, which is essential to begin the process of digesting protein. Hydrochloric acid also kills any bugs that should not be there. The mucous protects the lining of the stomach from damage from the hydrochloric acid. After some mechanical churning and the action of the enzymes and acid, the contents then dump into your small bowel to proceed with digestion. This occurs only when the contents are acidic enough. If the proper acidity is not reached, the body will not send the contents on to the small bowel. Your body, in its wisdom, will try to get rid of this mass of unhealthy, undigestible food. The quickest way out is up, hence the reflux. So many people don’t have too much acid, they have too little.
