Sensitivity and heartburn: What helps?


Many people have sensitivity in the stomach, resulting in frequent discomforts such as indigestion, heartburn, bloating and pain. It's that particularly annoying sensation where you feel your chest and throat on fire while an unpleasant sourness dominates your mouth.

What is heartburn?

Although the word "heartburn" is often used to describe a variety of digestive problems, it is actually, in medical terms, a symptom of GERD. In this case, stomach acids back up from the stomach into the esophagus. Symptoms occur after eating and in addition to burning you may have belching, sore throat, cough, indigestion.

What causes GERD?

When we eat, food travels from the mouth to the stomach through a tube called the esophagus. In the lower part of the esophagus is a small muscular ring, and it acts like a one-way valve, allowing food to pass through the stomach. Normally, this ring closes immediately after swallowing to prevent the reflux of stomach fluids, which have a high acid content. GERD occurs when the ring does not function properly, allowing acids to flow backwards and irritate the lower part of the esophagus, causing heartburn...

Tips that help

Losing weight, avoiding irritating foods (eg oranges) and drinks such as alcohol and soft drinks, and avoiding smoking can help. It is better to eat small and frequent meals, especially if you are going to lie down. Also, you should have eaten at least 2 hours before going to bed and raise the top of your mattress so that the esophagus is higher than the stomach and thus limit the rise of fluids. However, if you often have heartburn, you need to visit a gastroenterologist, who, after assessing the symptoms, in addition to some advice and instructions, may also request specific tests.
