Constant Heartburn Triggers Your Physician Will Likely not Inform You About

By Sasha Konotopetz


Does your constant heartburn cause you to feel as though you are being victimized by your stomach and yearning to put stuff that tastes great into it, and for no logical reason? You are really not alone, but you're also capable of signing up with the continually growing group of acid reflux sufferers who've identified the less than mysterious hidden triggers of their predicament and become at cause over, rather than a sufferer of it.

Before assessing the causes of your particular constant heartburn, it is important that you determine if it's what the medical community has classified as being a disease, specifically acid reflux disease or Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease. Whether your constant heartburn or retro flow of bile into the esophagus is termed Acid Reflux Disease is dependent upon the extent of sensitivity of your esophageal mucus to your stomach acid, as well as the existence of hyptonia (or gradual loss of strength) of what's known as your Lower Esophageal Sphincter (LES).

This LES is sorta like a doorway from the lower and upper esophagus to your stomach that opens every time something you eat travels to your stomach and, when in proper working order, shuts to keep bile from making its way into your throat. A few reasons why your Lower Esophageal Sphincter may not perform its straightforward but vitally significant task and save you from suffering from constant heartburn and acid reflux disease include genetic predisposition, weight problems, imbalance in the digestive system and, since, like all muscles inside the body, it will lose strength as it grows in age.

Just how much power your Lower Esophageal Sphincter loses however and just how likely any genetic predisposition you have to a weak LES is to materialize as constant heartburn is very much dependent upon your lifestyle choices, especially the things you send it to work with. Many food additives, everyone on of which are no more a century (or possibly even a decade) old additions to the diet of a species which has evolved over several millennia, place unnecessary strain upon it. Prescription drugs, which, like most food additives are poisonous, and particular nervous system processes may also be detrimental to your LES and very effective at causing it to be completely intolerable to acidic food you were brought up on and like, like citrus, onions and dairy.

A barely known but exceptionally prevalent reason for constant heartburn, acid reflux disease and a vast assortment

of newly typical health disorders like bloatedness and gluten sensitivity, is candida (a bacteria within the colon) overgrowth. Any person who has ever consumed an antibiotic, or eaten meat or dairy from animals which were filled with antibiotics (virtually every American), has this health killer, for antibiotics kill the good bacteria in your colon that prevent candida albicans from becoming a fungi, breaking through your intestinal walls and releasing 79 toxic substances throughout your whole body.

The way candida overgrowth causes constant heartburn and GERD, is simply by causing digested material to firmly ferment and retro flow through the small intestines, the stomach and, lastly, the lower and upper esophagus.

As you can see, your constant heartburn is not a problem that just somehow occurred of a sudden and must now be treated for all eternity by way of deeper health issue causing deadly toxic substances generally called prescription drugs. Through taking responsibility for the ways by which you have caused or contributed to the imbalanced health which permits constant heartburn to constantly torture and dissatisfy you, you allow yourself to be at cause over your situation. It is only after you do this can you make the change of lifestyle and start the path of therapy which will favorably change the way you feel following a wonderful meal.
