SOME CAUSES OF HYPERACIDITY-AN OVERVIEW OF CAUSES AND TREATMENT
People who suffer from frequent heartburn often develop habits to help them avoid or cope with frequent heartburn. For instance, they may:
- Avoid eating certain favorite foods (such as spicy or fried foods, onions or citrus fruits)
- Drink carbonated beverages after a meal to cause belching, which gives a feeling of relief
- Avoid exercising, lying down or bending over for two to three hours after a meal
- Sleep with the head of the bed elevated, or use pillows or a wedge, to prevent frequent heartburn
If you suffer from frequent heartburn, you're not alone. Some 50 million American adults are estimated to suffer from frequent heartburn.
- When you eat, tiny acid pumps in your stomach produce a powerful acid that helps break down food. At the top of your stomach is a valve called the lower esophageal sphincter, or LES, which opens to let in food, then closes to keep acid down in the stomach.
- When the LES relaxes or isn't working properly, acid can reflux, or flow backwards, into your esophagus. Your stomach has a protective lining to shield against the acids — your esophagus doesn't.
- When you feel heartburn, it means acid has slipped past the LES and up in the esophagus. Not only is this painful, but the esophagus can be damaged if exposed to the acid for long periods of time.
Prilosec works by blocking active acid pumps in the stomach, so there is less acid and less chance for heartburn to happen.
