Acid Reflux and Coughing

Acid reflux and coughing due to acid formed within the human body is one of the major problems many people face due to improper digestion. It is sometimes ignored as a minor ailment; however, people suffering from this problem should keep in mind that this can lead to major complications.

This acid, which is a part of the digestive system that helps to break down food that is consumed, is the main cause of acid reflux and coughing. When functioning properly, the lower esophageal sphincter opens up to allow food to flow through the esophagus and into the stomach.

If, in the process, some of the acids come back into the esophagus due to malfunctioning of the lower esophageal sphincter or as a result of immense pressure and fermentation in the stomach, a burning sensation is caused in the throat. This is known as acid reflux. When the acid escapes the stomach and irritates the larynx and or the esophagus, coughing is caused. Stomach acids can do fairly significant damage to the esophagus, and coughing and burning pain are mere symptoms of the havoc that is wreaked by misplaced stomach acids.? There are various processes through which the patient can fight acid reflux and coughing. Medications are becoming a fairly popular option to help soothe acid reflux and coughing.? These over the counter or prescription medicines help to neutralize the effect of the acid or even absorb it which helps to reach a comfortable level of relief. The nice thing about medications is they can target your specific acid reflux problem.? Each pill is designed to do something different.? Some will neutralize stomach acids, others will turn off acid production all together.? However, this is an expensive road, and is not the most ideal permanent solution.? In fact, all over the counter medications are not meant to be taken for more than two weeks.? Additionally, you should always consult your doctor before starting a regimen with any medicine.

For those that don’t want to be pill poppers, there are a number of natural remedies that many people have had huge successes with.? For example, some people have found eating an apple after meals helps control stomach acids.? Others use ginger.? Some people find relief by drinking a glass of water after meals to help flush things through a bit faster.? Even changing your daily habits, like eating less more frequently or not eating right before bed can help get acid reflux issues under control.? The Reflux Remedy Report focuses on a host of natural methods like these that are low impact, don’t require a financial commitment and can be started today.

Sometimes, in severe cases of reflux and excessive coughing, surgery may be required for a permanent solution.? This is rare, and most doctors use this as a last resort.? The majority of acid reflux sufferers can find relief simply by changing their diets, and trying any one or a combination of the methods suggested in The Reflux Remedy Report.

Post-Acid Reflux Symptoms

Nothing is really as important as the health of your digestive system. So if you are suffering from acid reflux or post acid reflux symptoms you need to start there.

Reading articles like this are helpful and the more nutritionally literate you become the healthier you and those close to you will be.

Conventional medicine has its place, but because of greedy medical zealots, its practice has become more of a failed dysfunctional medicine than anything else. Plus conventional medicine is way over priced, the cost is beyond what most people can realistically ever afford?mostly due to its total ineffectiveness.

The good news is ?functional medical practitioners? understand the importance of natural balance between the gut and the brain. In fact they see your gut as ?the second brain.?

Post-acid reflux symptoms may be following you around like a dark shadow only because your health perspective is skewed by the negative influence of dysfunctional medicine.

I say that because too many people are unaware there are non-drug alternatives to health challenges and concerns like post-acid reflux symptoms.

Acid reflux and post-acid reflux symptoms are just that, symptoms and must be seen in their true light as post-acid reflux or acid reflux symptoms, NOT causes.

It is estimated that about 15,000,000 people in the US suffer from post-reflux symptoms due to gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). That?s a lot of people treating post-acid reflux symptoms isn?t it?

When?s the last time you even saw 15,000,000 people? Now picture them all suffering from post-acid reflux symptoms . . .NOT a pretty picture.

Obviously, you?re not the only person suffering from post-acid reflux symptoms or GERD issues and your certainly not the only victim of direct-to-consumer advertising pitching this dysfunctional medical perspective.

Truth is it doesn?t need to be that way at all.

Acid rebound is another word for post-acid reflux and acid rebound is a completely man-made invention. In other words your post-acid reflux is an adverse effect of treating acid reflux or GERD symptoms with dysfunctional medicine, rather than functional medicine.

Okay you say, then what exactly is functional medicine. Actually it?s NOT medicine, it?s better than medicine, it?s real science!

The real science of so-called functional medicine, simply addresses the root cause of pre and post-acid reflux symptoms.

By nurturing cell health using whole foods, which are abundant in plant-based proteins, minerals and nutritional cofactors the natural structural and functional balance of cellular integrity is sustained.

You should desire to have more control over your post-acid reflux symptoms or acid rebound than popping more pills can give you.

Treating the symptoms of post-acid reflux means you are most likely ignoring the-root-cause-of-the-root-cause of your post-acid reflux symptoms altogether.

It?s a fact that Proton pump inhibitors (PPI) create post-acid reflux symptoms. Post-acid reflux symptoms or acid rebound is worse than your original condition of just having occasional heartburn, acid reflux and acid indigestion, BECAUSE antacids and proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) more often than not, make acid reflux diseases worse- that?s a proven scientific fact.

Support nutritional literacy in your community.

You were born to heal,
