  • Heartburn/Indigestion Heartburn Or Acid Indigestion During Pregnancy Is a Common Problem, Especially As the Baby Grows and Puts Pressure on the Stomach
    Pregnant Moms COMMON PROBLEMS Nausea Nausea that occurs during pregnancy, better known as “morning sickness,” can be a problem any time, day or night. The good news is that it usually only lasts a couple of months. If you experience nausea, there are food choices that you can make that might help. Try dry, starchy foods like crackers and dry toast. Eat slowly. Sit or lie still while eating. Spicy, high-fat foods like sausage, other fatty meats, fried foods, and rich pastries are not well tolerated. Drink liquids separate from your meals, and take small sips. Citrus juices can make nausea worse. Once the nausea has passed, there are a few ways to help prevent it from coming back. Below are some tips to help prevent nausea. Eat small frequent meals instead of two or three large meals. Drink liquids between meals, not with your meal. Drink only about ½ cup at a time. Avoid high-fat drinks. 1 Pregnant Moms Avoid strong-smelling foods with offensive odors. Take prenatal vitamins and iron supplements on a full stomach. Heartburn/Indigestion Heartburn or acid indigestion during pregnancy is a common problem, especially as the baby grows and puts pressure on the stomach.

  • Acid Reflux and Oesophagitis Gastro-Oesophageal Reflux Disease (GORD)
    Acid reflux and oesophagitis Gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD) Acid reflux is when acid from the stomach leaks up into the gullet (oesophagus). This may cause heartburn and other symptoms. A medicine which prevents your stomach from making acid is a common treatment and usually works well. Some people take short courses of treatment when symptoms flare up. Some people need long term daily treatment to keep symptoms away. Understanding the oesophagus and stomach When we eat, food passes down the oesophagus (gullet) into the stomach. Cells in the lining of the stomach make acid and other chemicals that help to digest food. Stomach cells also make mucus that protects them from damage from the acid. The cells lining the oesophagus are different and have little protection from acid. There is a circular bank of muscle (a ‘sphincter’) at the junction between the oesophagus and stomach. This relaxes to allow food down but then normally tightens up and stops food and acid leaking back up (refluxing) into the oesophagus. In effect the sphincter acts like a valve. What are reflux and oesophagitis? Acid reflux is when some acid leaks up (refluxes) into the oesophagus. Oesophagitis means inflammation of the lining of the oesophagus. Most cases of oesophagatis are due to reflux of stomach acid which irritates the inside lining of the oesophagus. The lining of the oesophagus can cope with a certain amount of acid. However, it is more sensitive to acid in some people. Therefore, some people develop symptoms Source: Endoscopy Reference No: 6556-1 Issue date: 11/9/19 Review date: 11/9/22 Page 1 of 6 with only a small amount of reflux.

  • Medicine Hx- Gastrointestinal System History of “Heartburn”
    Medicine Hx- Gastrointestinal System History of “Heartburn” A. Overview: GORD is common, and is said to exist when reflux of stomach contents (acid ± bile) causes troublesome symptoms (≥2 heartburn episodes/wk) and/or complications. If reflux is prolonged, it may cause oesophagitis, benign oesophageal stricture or Barrett’s oesophagus. Causes: lower oesophageal sphincter hypotension, hiatus hernia, loss of oesophageal peristaltic function, abdominal obesity, gastric acid hypersecretion, slow gastric emptying, overeating, smoking, alcohol, pregnancy, surgery in achalasia, drugs (tricyclics, anticholinergics, nitrates), systemic sclerosis. Symptoms: 1. Heartburn (burning, retrosternal discomfort after meals, lying, stooping or straining, relieved by antacids) 2. Belching; acid brash (acid or bile regurgitation) 3. Waterbrash (Increased salivation: “My mouth fills with saliva”) 4. Odynophagia (painful swallowing, eg from oesophagitis or ulceration). 5. Extra-oesophageal: Nocturnal asthma, chronic cough, laryngitis (hoarseness, throat clearing), sinusitis. (From Oxford Handbook Of Clinical Medicine p244) Don’t confuse between acid regurgitation and waterbrash: -Acid regurgitation: the patient experiences a sour or bitter tasting fluid coming up into the mouth. This symptom strongly suggests that the reflux is occurring. -Waterbrash: excessive secretion of saliva into the mouth may occur, uncommonly, in patients with peptic ulcer disease or oesophagitis. The patient experience tasteless or salty fluid his mouth. B. Differential diagnosis:

  • Crohn's Disease and Diet
    Crohn’s Disease and Diet What is Crohn’s Disease? Crohn’s disease is a condition that causes inflammation in the intestine. The symptoms of Crohn’s disease depend on the severity of the disease and what part of the intestine is affected. The most common symptoms are abdominal pain/cramping, diarrhea and fever. Can Diet Help? The following diet recommendations can help you to: Manage symptoms of Crohn’s disease Maintain normal bowel function Keep well nourished Diet Recommendations for Crohn’s Disease People living with Crohn’s disease often have periods of remission (mild or no symptoms) in addition to periods of flare-up (moderate or severe symptoms). The diet recommendations for Crohn’s disease depend on whether you are in a remission period or a flare- up period. Follow the diet recommendations that are appropriate for the period that you are in (see Flare-up Period or Remission Period below) . Flare-up Period When the small intestine is inflamed during a flare-up, the inside of the small bowel can become narrow. This can make it more difficult for high residue foods (i.e. bulky food or food with coarse Flare-up Period (continued) 1 particles) to pass through. High residue foods can therefore cause cramping or abdominal pain during a flare-up. It may help to follow a low-residue diet during this time. See Appendix 1 - Low Residue Diet for foods that are recommended. When your symptoms improve (i.e. you enter the remission period), you can start to add high residue foods back into your diet as tolerated.

  • Dyspepsia (Indigestion)
    Indigestion (dydpepsia). Indigestion information - Patient | Patient Page 1 of 5 View this article online at https://patient.info/health/dyspepsia-indigestion Dyspepsia (Indigestion) Dyspepsia (indigestion) is a term which describes pain and sometimes other symptoms which come from your upper gut (the stomach, oesophagus or duodenum). There are various causes (described below). Treatment depends on the likely cause. Understanding digestion Food passes down the gullet (oesophagus) into the stomach. The stomach makes acid which is not essential but helps to digest food. Food then passes gradually into the first part of the small intestine (the duodenum). In the duodenum and the rest of the small intestine, food mixes with chemicals called enzymes. The enzymes come from the pancreas and from cells lining the intestine. The enzymes break down (digest) the food. Digested food is then absorbed into the body from the small intestine. What is dyspepsia? Dyspepsia is a term which includes a group of symptoms that come from a problem in your upper gut. The gut (gastrointestinal tract) is the tube that starts at the mouth and ends at the anus. The upper gut includes the oesophagus, stomach and duodenum. Various conditions cause dyspepsia. The main symptom is usually pain or discomfort in the upper tummy (abdomen). In addition, other symptoms that may develop include: • Bloating. • Belching. • Quickly feeling full after eating. • Feeling sick (nausea). • Being sick (vomiting). Symptoms are often related to eating. Doctors used to include heartburn (a burning sensation felt in the lower chest area) and bitter-tasting liquid coming up into the back of the throat (sometimes called 'waterbrash') as symptoms of dyspepsia.

  • Abdominal Pain - Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease
    ACS/ASE Medical Student Core Curriculum Abdominal Pain - Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease ABDOMINAL PAIN - GASTROESOPHAGEAL REFLUX DISEASE Epidemiology and Pathophysiology Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is one of the most commonly encountered benign foregut disorders. Approximately 20-40% of adults in the United States experience chronic GERD symptoms, and these rates are rising rapidly. GERD is the most common gastrointestinal-related disorder that is managed in outpatient primary care clinics. GERD is defined as a condition which develops when stomach contents reflux into the esophagus causing bothersome symptoms and/or complications. Mechanical failure of the antireflux mechanism is considered the cause of GERD. Mechanical failure can be secondary to functional defects of the lower esophageal sphincter or anatomic defects that result from a hiatal or paraesophageal hernia. These defects can include widening of the diaphragmatic hiatus, disturbance of the angle of His, loss of the gastroesophageal flap valve, displacement of lower esophageal sphincter into the chest, and/or failure of the phrenoesophageal membrane. Symptoms, however, can be accentuated by a variety of factors including dietary habits, eating behaviors, obesity, pregnancy, medications, delayed gastric emptying, altered esophageal mucosal resistance, and/or impaired esophageal clearance. Signs and Symptoms Typical GERD symptoms include heartburn, regurgitation, dysphagia, excessive eructation, and epigastric pain. Patients can also present with extra-esophageal symptoms including cough, hoarse voice, sore throat, and/or globus. GERD can present with a wide spectrum of disease severity ranging from mild, intermittent symptoms to severe, daily symptoms with associated esophageal and/or airway damage. For example, severe GERD can contribute to shortness of breath, worsening asthma, and/or recurrent aspiration pneumonia.

  • Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPI) Preferred Step Therapy Program Annual Review Date: 01/18/2021
    Policy: Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPI) Preferred Step Therapy Program Annual Review Date: 01/18/2021 Impacted Last Revised Date: Drugs: • Aciphex, Aciphex Sprinkle • Dexilant 06/17/2021 • Esomeprazole DR, esomeprazole strontium DR • Nexium • Omeprazole/sodium bicarbonate • Prevacid, Prevacid 24HR, Prevacid SoluTab • Prilosec • Protonix • Rabeprazole DR OVERVIEW Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) [i.e., esomeprazole, dexlansoprazole, lansoprazole, omeprazole, pantoprazole, and rabeprazole] are commonly used antisecretory agents that are highly effective at suppressing gastric acid and subsequently treating associated conditions, including gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Omeprazole is available generically and over-the-counter (OTC). Omeprazole OTC is prescription strength (20 mg). Lansoprazole is also available generically and OTC. Lansoprazole OTC is available as 15 mg capsules. Zegerid capsules are available generically and OTC; the OTC product contains omeprazole 20 mg and sodium bicarbonate 1100 mg. Nexium® 24HR (esomeprazole magnesium 22.3 mg delayed-release capsules) is available OTC and is equivalent to 20 mg of esomeprazole base. The OTC products are indicated for the short-term (14 days) treatment of heartburn. Patients should not take the OTC products for more than 14 days or more often than every 4 months unless under the supervision of a physician. Although the PPIs vary in their specific Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved indications, all of the PPIs have demonstrated the ability to control GERD symptoms and to heal esophagitis when used at prescription doses. Most comparative studies between PPIs to date have demonstrated comparable efficacies for acid-related diseases, including duodenal and gastric ulcerations, GERD, Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, and H. pylori eradication therapies. Though the available clinical data are not entirely complete for the comparison of these agents, many clinical trials have shown the PPIs to be similar in safety and efficacy.
