Are You Sure Your Acid Reflux Treatment Can Give You a Permanent Solution?

Are You Sure Your Acid Reflux Treatment
Can Give You a Permanent Solution?

By Brian S. Young

There are no two ways about it. Acid reflux is a condition which causes a terrible heartburn so much so that it can be dangerous enough to permanently damage the esophagus tissues. And this is why those who are experiencing this condition should immediately look out for an effective acid reflux treatment.

Now, if you are already using an acid reflux treatment, let me ask you, how effective it is? Apart from temporarily solving the problem when you have it, has it done anything to prevent it from re-occurring?

I know the answer is certainly not affirmative here. Let me tell you why your acid reflux treatment is unable to provide permanent freedom from this burning sensation:

1. Antacids

These are the common drugs available without any doctor's prescription and they are one of the most widely preferred drugs for getting instant relief from heartburn.

The way they work, they actually neutralize the acid when they come in contact with the one present in the stomach.

This acid in the stomach helps in the absorption of nutrients and now since it has been neutralized, the nutrients simply go to waste. This is just one of the side effects of taking these drugs. Furthermore, they can also lead to high blood pressure, Alzheimer's disease and even cancer!

2. Histamine Antagonist

It works by blocking the histamines from stimulating the cells that produce the acid in the stomach. As a result, the level of acid produced inside the stomach goes down and the condition of heartburn is controlled.

It certainly helps in relieving the reflux symptoms, but does not heal the inflammation of the esophagus that often accompanies heartburn. Additionally, it also causes poor absorption of key vitamins and enzymes.

3. Proton Pump Inhibitors.

These drugs work by preventing the release of excessive acid in the stomach or the intestine. They too inhibit the secretion of acid from the acid secreting cells present in the stomach. They work for longer periods of time and are more effective than Histamine Antagonist.

This drug additionally protects the esophagus from acid so if there is any inflammation in it, it also gets healed.

This drug is good but it is available only on a doctor's prescription and again the side effects remain the same - poor absorption of nutrients, vitamins and enzymes.

If you are using these or any similar acid reflux treatment, note that all of them are simply relieving you from the symptoms of this problem. None of them is actually trying to put a check on the main reason which causes this excessive production of acid.

You need an acid reflux treatment which can actually go up to the root level and solve the problem permanently. If you want to know about one effective and proven way to treat heartburn completely, visit my website listed below.
