Just What is Heartburn

Filed under: Acid Reflux, Heartburn Occasional, GERD Treatment — Administrator @ 6:00 am

Heartburn, is a feeling of burning, warmth, heat, or pain that generally starts in the upper abdomen beneath the lower breastbone.
It is also known as reflux espohagitis or GERD.

Heartburn occurs when food and stomach juices back up (reflux) into the esophagus, which is the tube that leads from the throat to the stomach.

Heartburn can occur with other symptoms, such as hoarseness, a feeling that food is stuck in your throat, tightness in your throat, a hoarse voice, wheezing, asthma, dental problems, or bad breath.

Suppress stomach acid and you also suppress liver function

When you suppress stomach acid, you also suppress liver function.

This means that fat can no longer be as efficiently excreted with bile. Additionally, acid suppressants reduce the body’s ability to thoroughly digest proteins, which reduces its ability to manufacture “the good cholesterol,” HDL.

Young developing bodies with developing hormones are especially vulnerable to damage due to suppressed liver function, he says.

Additionally, suppressing the liver’s ability to produce HDL can create a cholesterol problem that would not have existed without the acid suppressants.
